supplying country, taking into account price differentials due to
delivery schedules, points of delivery, and other similar
considerations.
(B) The price charged a recipient country for supplies
furnished by a supplying country from its inventory, and the
price charged a recipient country for logistics support and
services furnished by the officers, employees, or governmental

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)).
