Sec. 2350b. Cooperative projects under Arms Export Control Act:

acquisition of defense equipment

-STATUTE-

(a)(1) If the President delegates to the Secretary of Defense the

authority to carry out section 27(d) of the Arms Export Control Act

(22 U.S.C. 2767(d)), relating to cooperative projects (as defined

in such section), the Secretary may utilize his authority under

this title in carrying out contracts or obligations incurred under

such section.

(2) Except as provided in subsection (c), chapter 137 of this

title shall apply to such contracts (referred to in paragraph (1))

entered into by the Secretary of Defense. Except to the extent

waived under subsection (c) or some other provision of law, all

other provisions of law relating to procurement, if otherwise

applicable, shall apply to such contracts entered into by the

Secretary of Defense.

(b) When contracting or incurring obligations under section 27(d)

of the Arms Export Control Act for cooperative projects, the

Secretary of Defense may require subcontracts to be awarded to

particular subcontractors in furtherance of the cooperative

project.

(c)(1) Subject to paragraph (2), when entering into contracts or

incurring obligations under section 27(d) of the Arms Export

Control Act outside the United States, the Secretary of Defense may

waive with respect to any such contract or subcontract the

application of any provision of law, other than a provision of the

Arms Export Control Act or section 2304 of this title, that

specifically prescribes -

(A) procedures to be followed in the formation of contracts;

(B) terms and conditions to be included in contracts;

(C) requirements for or preferences to be given to goods grown,

produced, or manufactured in the United States or in United

States Government-owned facilities or for services to be

performed in the United States; or

(D) requirements regulating the performance of contracts.

(2) A waiver may not be made under paragraph (1) unless the

Secretary determines that the waiver is necessary to ensure that

the cooperative project will significantly further standardization,

rationalization, and interoperability.

(3) The authority of the Secretary to make waivers under this

subsection may be delegated only to the Deputy Secretary of Defense

or the Acquisition Executive designated for the Office of the

Secretary of Defense.

(d)(1) The Secretary of Defense shall notify the Congress each

time he requires that a prime contract be awarded to a particular

prime contractor or that a subcontract be awarded to a particular

subcontractor to comply with a cooperative agreement. The

Secretary shall include in each such notice the reason for

exercising his authority to designate a particular contractor or

subcontractor, as the case may be.

(2) The Secretary shall also notify the Congress each time he

exercises a waiver under subsection (c) and shall include in such

notice the particular provision or provisions of law that were

waived.

(3) A report under this subsection shall be required only to the

extent that the information required by this subsection has not

been provided in a report made by the President under section 27(e)

of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2767(e)).

(e)(1) In carrying out a cooperative project under section 27 of

the Arms Export Control Act, the Secretary of Defense may agree

that a participant (other than the United States) or a NATO

organization may make a contract for requirements of the United

States under the project if the Secretary determines that such a

contract will significantly further standardization,

rationalization, and interoperability. Except to the extent waived

under this section or under any other provision of law, the

Secretary shall ensure that such contract will be made on a

competitive basis and that United States sources will not be

precluded from competing under the contract.

(2) If a participant (other than the United States) in such a

cooperative project or a NATO organization makes a contract on

behalf of such project to meet the requirements of the United

States, the contract may permit the contracting party to follow its

own procedures relating to contracting.

(f) In carrying out a cooperative project, the Secretary of

Defense may also agree to the disposal of property that is jointly

acquired by the members of the project without regard to any laws

of the United States applicable to the disposal of property owned

by the United States. Disposal of such property may include a

transfer of the interest of the United States in such property to

one of the other governments participating in the cooperative

agreement or the sale of such property. Payment for the transfer

or sale of any interest of the United States in any such property

shall be made in accordance with the terms of the cooperative

agreement.

(g) Nothing in this section shall be construed as authorizing -

(1) the Secretary of Defense to waive any of the financial

management responsibilities administered by the Secretary of the

Treasury; or

(2) to waive the cargo preference laws of the United States,

including section 2631 of this title and section 901(b) of the

Merchant Marine Act, 1936 (46 U.S.C. App. 1241(b)).
