          (2) standards that identify the appropriate approving 
        official level involved in awarding new contracts 
        utilizing award and incentive fees;
          (3) guidance on when the use of rollover is 
        appropriate in terms of new contracts utilizing award 
        and incentive fees;
          (4) performance measures to evaluate the 
        effectiveness of award and incentive fees as a tool for 
        improving contractor performance and achieving desired

Congress a report on the status and effectiveness of developing 
the standards required under subsection (a) for award and

  (a) Findings.--The Congress finds as follows:
          (1) The Department of Defense is making important new 
        investments in Operationally Responsive Space access, 
        which will supplement existing space transportation 
        systems of the Department and enable transformative new

        operable, affordable, and reusable suborbital and 
        orbital launch vehicles to transport people and small 
        payloads into or through space.
          (3) There is substantial overlap between the 
        technologies and capabilities being developed for 
        commercial purposes and those being pursued by the 
        Department, and considerable efficiencies and 
        acceleration of Operationally Responsive Space access
