Proposed addition: Insert a
new paragraph "b" and move
existing "b" to "c": The new
paragraph "b" reads as follows:

Recommended change:
b. The vendors shall provide
internal documentation that
defines the software coding
standards used that meet the
intent of this standard and the
ITA shall test for compliance.
The internal software coding
standard shall be maintained
under a revision control system
that is in compliance with the
CMMI, ISO Quality Standards
or similar qualification and audit
methods that can be
demonstrated to the ITA.

Rationale:
Those vendors who adopt the
CMMI, ISO Quality System or
similar system can then
maintain continual quality
improvement as the state of
the art improves by updating
their internal documents and
not be restricted to adhering to
a fixed, aging standard. [ISO
Q9001-2000]
