            Secretary of the Navy may enter into one or more contracts for

            procured as additions to existing contracts covering the Medium
            Landing Ship program.
        (b) Certification Required.--A contract may not be entered into
    under subsection (a) unless the Secretary of the Navy certifies to the
    congressional defense committees, in writing, not later than 30 days
    before entry into the contract, each of the following, which shall be

            Department of the Navy's projected force structure requirements
            for such ships.
                (2) The use of such a contract will result in significant

            the program through annual contracts.
                (3) There is a reasonable expectation that throughout the
            contemplated contract period the Secretary of the Navy will
            request funding for the contract at the level required to avoid
            contract cancellation.
                (4) There is a stable design for the property to be
            acquired and the technical risks associated with such property
            are not excessive.
                (5) The estimates of the cost of the contract and the
            anticipated cost avoidance through the use of the contract are
            realistic.
                (6) During the fiscal year in which the contract is to be
            awarded--
                        (A) sufficient funds will be available to perform
                    the contract in such fiscal year; and
                        (B) the future-years defense program submitted to
                    Congress under section 221 of title 10, United States
                    Code, for such fiscal year will include the funding

    may enter into one or more contracts for advance procurement associated
    with the ships for which authorization to enter into a contract is
    provided under subsection (a), and for systems and subsystems
    associated with such ships in economic order quantities when cost
    savings are achievable.
        (d) Condition for Out-year Contract Payments.--A contract entered
    into under subsection (a) shall provide that any obligation of the
    United States to make a payment under the contract for a fiscal year is
    subject to the availability of appropriations for that purpose for such
    fiscal year.

                            designated, and why those reasons do not apply
                            to the contract for which waiver is being
                            sought.

                                (iii) The degree to which such a contract
                            could provide access to information or
                            technology which could materially benefit the

            percent statistical confidence that the estimated median rent
            is within 10 percent of the actual median rent in local
            military housing areas;

                    such as Initial Operational Test and Evaluation
                    (IOT&E), mandated under section 4171 of title 10,
                    United States Code, or related regulations; and
                        (C) any other test and evaluation documentation or
                    approval processes that the Secretary determines are
                    inconsistent with the agile and iterative nature of
                    this pathway.
        (c) Role of the Director of Operational Test and Evaluation.--For

    Defense (referred to in this section as the `Secretary') may not enter
    into a contract or agreement for the procurement, sustainment, or
    subsequent modifications of covered defense equipment unless the

    a negotiated price option, Instructions for Continued Operational
    Readiness (`ICOR') to the Secretary upon delivery of the equipment.
        ``(2) The Secretary may grant an exception to paragraph (1) if the
    product support strategy and associated business case analysis for the

    justified need for ICOR, consistent, when applicable, with section 3771
    of this title.
        ``(3) The contractor shall deliver the ICOR to the Department of
    Defense (referred to in this section as the `Department') and provide

    required as necessary in subsequent contracts or agreements or included
    as priced options to reflect modifications in data deliverables.

    Readiness.--A contractor for covered defense equipment shall include in
    the ICOR, at a minimum, data that is necessary for operations,
    maintenance, installation, and training, form fit, and function data,

            essential for safe operation, distinguished from non-safety-
            related service enhancements, to facilitate compliance with
            operational readiness requirements.
        ``(c) Submission, Acceptance, and Updates.--(1) A contractor shall
    submit the ICOR to the Secretary as a contract deliverable prior to

    subsection (a), the contractor shall deliver updates to the ICOR for
    approval by the Secretary whenever modifications, upgrades, safety
    issues, or new sustainment requirements are identified.
        ``(d) Maintenance and Repair Providers.--A contractor shall not
    impose restrictions on the use of the ICOR by authorized maintenance
    providers of the Department, including requirements to use only
    contractor-supplied parts, unless such restrictions are explicitly

    reliability.
        ``(e) Conditions for Alternative Maintenance and Repair.--(1)
    Notwithstanding restrictions approved by the Secretary pursuant to
    subsection (d), the Secretary may authorize alternative maintenance or
    repair actions for covered defense equipment, if any of the following
    conditions are met:

            repairs, or ICOR within a timeframe that meets operational
            needs, as defined by the Secretary, resulting in unacceptable
            readiness degradation.
                ``(D) The contractor discontinues support for a component
            or software critical to the equipment's operation without
            providing a viable substitute or sufficient ICOR to enable
            sustainment of the equipment by the Department.
                ``(E) An urgent operational or logistical circumstance,
            such as wartime conditions, active combat, or disrupted
            logistics, necessitates immediate repair or part production to
            maintain mission readiness.
                ``(F) The Secretary determines alternative maintenance or
            repair actions would result in significant cost savings.
        ``(2) If an alternative action is authorized under paragraph (1),
    the Secretary may--
                ``(A) issue a written determination citing the relevant
            condition described in paragraph (1), including evidence of
            contractor practices that prevent delivery of or restrict
            license rights to the ICOR in a manner that may impede
            competition, consistent with antitrust laws; and
                ``(B) authorize data delivery for the alternative action.
        ``(3) If time permits, the Secretary shall notify the contractor if
    any of the conditions described in paragraph (1) are met and shall
    provide the contractor with not more than 30 days to address the issue
    before the alternative action is taken.
        ``(4) Alternative maintenance or repair actions may include, but is
    not limited to, reverse engineering, use of existing technical data,
    fabrication of parts by the Department or third-party providers, or
    advanced manufacturing, as necessary to restore operational readiness.
    This provision does not restrict the ability of the Secretary to employ
    these practices in other contexts.
        ``(f) Contractor Responsibilities.--(1) A contractor shall ensure
    the ICOR contains sufficient information to maintain the operational
    readiness of the equipment, including updates to address safety or
    performance issues and necessary information on systems or components
    produced by subcontractors.
        ``(2) A contractor shall promptly notify the Secretary of any
    safety-related deficiencies in the ICOR and provide corrected materials
    at no additional cost.
        ``(3) If a contractor fails to comply with the requirements of this
    section, the Secretary may withhold contract payment, enforce contract
    penalties, take corrective action, reduce contractor performance
    ratings, or exclude the contractor from future contracts or agreements
    with the Department.
        ``(g) Oversight.--(1) The Secretary shall establish procedures to
    verify contractor compliance with the requirements of this section,
    including periodic audits of the content and availability and

    for covered defense equipment, accessible to maintenance providers
    authorized by the Secretary, to ensure consistent application.

    enactment of this section, and every year thereafter, the Secretary
    shall submit to the congressional defense committees a list of the
    items designated as excluded commercial items to which the requirement

                    Pacific, Europe, Middle East, or Korean Peninsula
                    theaters would increase the likelihood of a contingency
                    operation in the other theaters, including
                    consideration of the prepositioning of stockpiles and

    SEC. 867. REFORM OF CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS.

        (a) In General.--Not later than 180 days after the date of the
    enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall revise subpart
    242.15 of the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS)
    to modify contractor performance information requirements to establish
    an objective, fact-based, and simplified system for reporting
    contractor performance. The revised system shall--
                (1) focus exclusively on negative performance events that
            are verifiable and measurable to reduce subjectivity and
            inconsistency in evaluations;
                (2) reduce the administrative burden on contracting
            officers by limiting reporting to prior contractor failures or
            poor performance; and
                (3) ensure the government can identify and avoid
            contractors with a history of poor performance or bad actions.
        (b) Revision of Contractor Performance Information Requirements.--
    Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act,
    the Secretary of Defense shall revise subpart 242.15 of the DFARS and
    related guidance, including the Contractor Performance Assessment
    Reporting System (CPARS) to provide for the following requirements
    related to contract performance information:
                (1) Elimination of subjective performance ratings.--(A)
            Subjective performance ratings for contracts subject to this
            section shall be eliminated.
                (B) Performance evaluations shall be limited to the
            reporting and scoring of negative performance events as
            described in subsections (c) and (d).
                (2) Scope of reporting.--(A) Contracting officers shall
            report only negative performance events with verifiable data
            which have a material impact on contract performance or
            government interests, including events involving
            subcontractors.
                (B) Reporting shall exclude positive or neutral performance
            assessments, except as necessary to provide context for a
            negative performance event.
                (3) Frequency and timing.--(A) Contracting officers shall
            report negative performance events within 30 days of
            identifying and verifying the event.
                (B) Annual or periodic performance evaluations shall not be
            required unless a negative performance event occurs.
                (4) Use in source selection.--(A) Negative performance
            events and their associated scores, as calculated under
            subsection (c), shall be considered in source selection
            evaluations to assess contractor risk and responsibility.
                (B) The absence of negative performance events for a
            contractor, including nontraditional defense contractors or new
            entrants, shall not be considered a deficiency in past
            performance evaluations. Such contractors shall be evaluated
            based on technical capability, price, and other relevant
            factors.
        (c) Scoring Mechanism for Negative Performance Events.--Not later
    than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the
    Secretary of Defense shall revise subpart 242.15 of the DFARS and
    related guidance, including the Contractor Performance Assessment
    Reporting System (CPARS) to provide for the following requirements
    related to a scoring mechanism for negative performance events:
                (1) Standardized scoring mechanism.--To ensure fair and
            equitable evaluation of contractors, a standardized scoring
            mechanism shall normalize negative performance events based on
            the number of transactions and the dollar volume of contracts
            performed by the contractor.
                (2) Application of scores.--(A) The composite score shall
            be reported in CPARS alongside the negative performance events
            and used in source selection to assess past performance risk.
                (B) Scores shall be calculated automatically by the CPARS
            system based on data entered by contracting officers, including
            the number of transactions and contract dollar value.
                (3) Transparency.--(A) Contractors shall have access to
            their composite scores and the underlying data (number of
            events, transactions, and dollar volume) through CPARS.
                (B) Contractors may submit comments or rebuttals to
            reported events or scores, which shall be maintained in CPARS
            for consideration in source selection.
        (d) Key Issues of Negative Performance.--Not later than 180 days
    after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense
    shall revise subpart 242.15 of the DFARS and related guidance,
