FISC San Diego and Southwest Region Maintenance Center sign MOU

Navy Supply Corps Newsletter, Nov-Dec, 2004

RDML William Kowba, Commander, Fleet and Industrial Supply Centers, seated, signed a Memorandum of Understanding Aug. 18, with CDR Arno Sist, Contracting Officer for Southwest Region Maintenance Center (SWRMC), left, and CAPT Joseph Corsi, SWRMC Commanding Officer.

The agreement places greater responsibility for ship, boat and service vessel contracts on individual local offices and was signed in partnership with Commander, U.S. Fleet Forces Command; Commander, U.S. Pacific Fleet; Naval Sea Systems Command; Naval Supply Systems Command; and COMFISCS. The signing guarantees management of all ships and vessels under NAVSEA and affiliated offices. By maintaining control of local ships, individual offices can maintain their assets in the most cost-productive way, solve contract problems at the regional level, and make use of their own employees' skill sets.

The MOU was established to strengthen cooperation among activities, reduce overlap of responsibilities and achieve the greatest efficiency possible.
