New Milestone Agreement promises more methodical tracking process, better communication
by Daniel P. Elkins IN SUPPORT OF SERVICE
At Arlington National Cemetery, VA, the Mission and Installation Contracting Command (MICC) Mission Contracting Center – Fort Sam Houston, TX, manages service contracts for headstone placement and alignment, turf and grounds maintenance, uniform lease, and operation of the visitors center, among a host of support activities. As part of its oversight, MICC conducted an exhaustive review and rewrite of performance work statements for service contracts supporting the cemetery, resulting in the consolidation of many of the service requirements. MICC officials believe implementation of the Acquisition Milestone Agreement (AMA) will forge a stronger partnership between the requirements and acquisition communities to field capabilities on cost and schedule.
