Year 2000 Contract Language for Weapon Systems.

Abstract

This report is one of a series of reports being issued by the Inspector General, DoD, in accordance with an informal partnership with the Chief Information Officer, DoD, to monitor DoD efforts to address the year 2000 computing challenge. This report summarizes the efforts of DoD Program Management Offices to incorporate year 2000 compliance language into contracts and solicitations for their weapon systems. The year 2000 problem is the term most often used to describe the potential failure of information technology systems to process or perform date-related functions before, on, or after the turn of the next century. Our overall audit objective was to determine whether planning and management within selected components of DoD are adequate to ensure that continuity of operations are not unduly disrupted by year-2000-related issues. Specifically, we evaluated the actions of the DoD Program Management Offices to include year 2000 contract language in weapon systems contracts.
