Great info Mcs, thanks. I hadn't seen the FY 2014 President's Submission. I followed the link you provided and noticed another sentence of interest on the same page:
"Technical/Quality Process Improvement: Efforts to support transition of DNA Marking for FSC 5962 microcircuits will be continued and any required follow-on efforts defined. New starts in FY2012 will be continued or concluded as appropriate. The Product Verification Process improvement project will be completed and transitioned. New projects for FY2013 will be initiated as a result of planning efforts joint with the T/Q Process owner and her team in FY2012 and FY2013."
And she is none other than Christine Metz, who on numerous occasions has discussed broadening the "mandate" to other items...
From her linked-in page:
Technical & Quality Process Owner US Department of Defense Government Agency; 10,001+ employees; Military industry July 2004 – Present (9 years 2 months)
