-STATUTE-

(a) Reporting and Analysis Requirements as Precondition to Change

in Performance. - A commercial or industrial type function of the

Department of Defense that, as of October 1, 1980, was being

performed by Department of Defense civilian employees may not be

changed to performance by the private sector until the Secretary of

Defense fully complies with the reporting and analysis requirements

specified in subsections (b) and (c).

(b) Notification and Elements of Analysis. - (1) Before

commencing to analyze a commercial or industrial type function

described in subsection (a) for possible change to performance by

the private sector, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to

Congress a report containing the following:

(A) The function to be analyzed for possible change.

(B) The location at which the function is performed by

Department of Defense civilian employees.

(C) The number of civilian employee positions potentially

affected.

(D) The anticipated length and cost of the analysis, and a

specific identification of the budgetary line item from which

funds will be used to cover the cost of the analysis.

(E) A certification that a proposed performance of the

commercial or industrial type function by persons who are not

civilian employees of the Department of Defense is not a result

of a decision by an official of a military department or Defense

Agency to impose predetermined constraints or limitations on such

employees in terms of man years, end strengths, full-time

equivalent positions, or maximum number of employees.

(2) The duty to prepare a report under paragraph (1) may be

delegated. A report prepared below the major command or claimant

level of a military department, or below the equivalent level in a

Defense Agency, pursuant to any such delegation shall be reviewed

at the major command, claimant level, or equivalent level, as the

case may be, before submission to Congress.

(3) An analysis of a commercial or industrial type function for

possible change to performance by the private sector shall include

the following:

(A) An examination of the cost of performance of the function

by Department of Defense civilian employees and by one or more

private contractors to demonstrate whether change to performance

by the private sector will result in savings to the Government

over the life of the contract, including in the examination the

following:

(i) The cost to the Government, estimated by the Secretary of

Defense (based on offers received), for performance of the

function by the private sector.

(ii) The estimated cost to the Government of Department of

Defense civilian employees performing the function.

(iii) In addition to the costs referred to in clause (i), an

performance of the function by the private sector on the

following:

(i) Employees of the Department of Defense who would be

affected by such a change in performance.

(ii) The local community and the Government, if more than 50

employees of the Department of Defense perform the function.

(C) An examination of the effect of performance of the function

by the private sector on the military mission associated with the

performance of the function.

(4)(A) A representative individual or entity at a facility where

a commercial or industrial type function is analyzed for possible

change in performance may submit to the Secretary of Defense an

objection to the analysis on the grounds that the report required

by paragraph (1) has not been submitted or that the certification

required by paragraph (1)(E) is not included in the report

submitted as a condition for the analysis. The objection shall be

in writing and shall be submitted within 90 days after the

following date:

(i) In the case of a failure to submit the report when

required, the date on which the representative individual or an

official of the representative entity authorized to pose the

objection first knew or should have known of that failure.

(ii) In the case of a failure to include the certification in a

submitted report, the date on which the report was submitted to

Congress.

(B) If the Secretary determines that the report required by

paragraph (1) was not submitted or that the required certification

was not included in the submitted report, the commercial or

industrial type function covered by the analysis to which objected

may not be the subject of a solicitation of offers for, or award

of, a contract until, respectively, the report is submitted or a

report containing the certification in full compliance with the

certification requirement is submitted.

(c) Submission of Analysis Results. - (1) Upon the completion of

an analysis of a commercial or industrial type function described

the examinations required by subsection (b)(3).

(2) The report shall also contain the following:

(A) The date when the analysis of the function was commenced.

calculation of the cost of performance of the function by

Department of Defense civilian employees is based on an estimate

of the most cost effective manner for performance of the function

by Department of Defense civilian employees.

(C) The number of Department of Defense civilian employees who

were performing the function when the analysis was commenced and

the number of such employees whose employment was or will be

terminated or otherwise affected by changing to performance of

the function by the private sector or by implementation of the

most efficient organization of the function.

(D) The Secretary's certification that the factors considered

in the examinations performed under subsection (b)(3), and in the

making of the decision regarding changing to performance of the

function by the private sector or retaining performance in the

most efficient organization of the function, did not include any

predetermined personnel constraint or limitation in terms of man

years, end strength, full-time equivalent positions, or maximum

number of employees.

(E) A statement of the potential economic effect of

implementing the decision regarding changing to performance of

the function by the private sector or retaining performance in

the most efficient organization of the function on each affected

local community, as determined in the examination under

subsection (b)(3)(B)(ii).

(F) A schedule for completing the change to performance of the

function by the private sector or implementing the most efficient

contract if any, will have on the overhead costs of the center or

ammunition plant, as the case may be.

available for examination.

(3)(A) If a decision is made to change the commercial or

industrial type function that was the subject of the analysis to

performance by the private sector, the change of the function to

the report required by paragraph (1).

or industrial type function performed at a Center of Industrial and

or an Army ammunition plant, the change of the function to

contractor performance may not begin until at least 60 days after

the submission of the report.

or fewer Department of Defense civilian employees.

(e) Waiver for the Purchase of Products and Services of the Blind

(c) and subsection (g) shall not apply to a commercial or

industrial type function of the Department of Defense that -

(2) is planned to be changed to performance by a qualified

nonprofit agency for the blind or by a qualified nonprofit agency

for other severely handicapped persons in accordance with that

Act.

(f) Additional Limitations. - (1) A commercial or industrial type

function of the Department of Defense that on October 1, 1980, was

being performed by Department of Defense civilian employees may not

be changed to performance by a private contractor to circumvent a

civilian personnel ceiling.

(2) In no case may a commercial or industrial type function being

performed by Department of Defense personnel be modified,

reorganized, divided, or in any way changed for the purpose of

exempting from the requirements of subsection (a) the change of all

or any part of such function to performance by a private

contractor.

the Secretary of Defense shall submit to Congress a written report

contractors, during the fiscal year during which the report is

submitted.

derived from funds available to the working-capital fund or

industrial, commercial, or support type activity for which the

overpayment is recovered.''

CONTRACTS FOR DEPOT-LEVEL MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR

Pub. L. 105-261, div. A, title III, Sec. 346, Oct. 17, 1998, 112

Stat. 1979, as amended by Pub. L. 106-65, div. A, title III, Sec.

336, Oct. 5, 1999, 113 Stat. 568, provided that:

''(a) Conditions on Expanded Use. - The Secretary of Defense or

the Secretary of a military department, as the case may be, may not

enter into a prime vendor contract for depot-level maintenance and

repair of a weapon system or other military equipment described in

section 2464(a)(3) of title 10, United States Code, before the end

of the 30-day period beginning on the date on which the Secretary

submits to Congress a report, specific to the proposed contract,

that -

''(1) describes the competitive procedures to be used to award

the prime vendor contract;

''(2) contains an analysis of costs and benefits that

demonstrates that use of the prime vendor contract will result in

savings to the Government over the life of the contract;

''(3) contains an analysis of the extent to which the contract

conforms to the requirements of section 2466 of title 10, United

States Code; and

''(4) describes the measures taken to ensure that the contract

does not violate the core logistics policies, requirements, and

restrictions set forth in section 2464 of that title.

''(b) Definitions. - In this section:

''(1) The term 'prime vendor contract' means an innovative

contract that gives a defense contractor the responsibility to

manage, store, and distribute inventory, manage and provide

services, or manage and perform research, on behalf of the

Department of Defense on a frequent, regular basis, for users

within the Department on request. The term includes contracts

commonly referred to as prime vendor support contracts, flexible

sustainment contracts, and direct vendor delivery contracts.

''(2) The term 'depot-level maintenance and repair' has the

meaning given such term in section 2460 of title 10, United

States Code.

POLICY REGARDING PERFORMANCE OF DEPOT-LEVEL MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR

FOR DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Section 311 of Pub. L. 104-106, as amended by Pub. L. 105-85,

div. A, title III, Sec. 363, Nov. 18, 1997, 111 Stat. 1702,

provided that:

''(a) Findings. - Congress makes the following findings:

''(1) The Department of Defense does not have a comprehensive

policy regarding the performance of depot-level maintenance and

repair of military equipment.

''(2) The absence of such a policy has caused the Congress to

establish guidelines for the performance of such functions.

''(3) It is essential to the national security of the United

States that the Department of Defense maintain an organic

capability within the department, including skilled personnel,

technical competencies, equipment, and facilities, to perform

depot-level maintenance and repair of military equipment in order

to ensure that the Armed Forces of the United States are able to

meet training, operational, mobilization, and emergency

requirements without impediment.

''(4) The organic capability of the Department of Defense to

perform depot-level maintenance and repair of military equipment

must satisfy known and anticipated core maintenance and repair

requirements across the full range of peacetime and wartime

scenarios.

''(5) Although it is possible that savings can be achieved by

contracting with private-sector sources for the performance of

some work currently performed by Department of Defense depots,

the Department of Defense has not determined the type or amount

of work that should be performed under contract with

private-sector sources nor the relative costs and benefits of

contracting for the performance of such work by those sources.

''(b) Sense of Congress. - It is the sense of Congress that there

is a compelling need for the Department of Defense to articulate

known and anticipated core maintenance and repair requirements, to

organize the resources of the Department of Defense to meet those

requirements economically and efficiently, and to determine what

work should be performed by the private sector and how such work

should be managed.

''(c) Requirement for Policy. - Not later than March 31, 1996,

the Secretary of Defense shall develop and report to the Committee

on Armed Services of the Senate and the Committee on National

Security of the House of Representatives (now Committee on Armed

Services of the House of Representatives) a comprehensive policy on

the performance of depot-level maintenance and repair for the

Department of Defense that maintains the capability described in

section 2464 of title 10, United States Code.

''(d) Content of Policy. - In developing the policy, the

Secretary of Defense shall do each of the following:

''(1) Identify for each military department, with the

concurrence of the Secretary of that military department, those

depot-level maintenance and repair activities that are necessary

to ensure the depot-level maintenance and repair capability as

required by section 2464 of title 10, United States Code.

''(2) Provide for performance of core depot-level maintenance

and repair capabilities in facilities owned and operated by the

United States.

''(3) Provide for the core capabilities to include sufficient

skilled personnel, equipment, and facilities that -

''(A) is of the proper size (i) to ensure a ready and

controlled source of technical competence and repair and

maintenance capability necessary to meet the requirements of

the National Military Strategy and other requirements for

responding to mobilizations and military contingencies, and

(ii) to provide for rapid augmentation in time of emergency;

and

''(B) is assigned sufficient workload to ensure cost

efficiency and technical proficiency in time of peace.

''(4) Address environmental liability.

''(5) In the case of depot-level maintenance and repair

workloads in excess of the workload required to be performed by

Department of Defense depots, provide for competition for those

workloads between public and private entities when there is

sufficient potential for realizing cost savings based on adequate

private-sector competition and technical capabilities.

''(6) Address issues concerning exchange of technical data

between the Federal Government and the private sector.

''(7) Provide for, in the Secretary's discretion and after

consultation with the Secretaries of the military departments,

the transfer from one military department to another, in

accordance with merit-based selection processes, workload that

supports the core depot-level maintenance and repair capabilities

in facilities owned and operated by the United States.

''(8) Require that, in any competition for a workload (whether

among private-sector sources or between depot-level activities of

the Department of Defense and private-sector sources), bids are

evaluated under a methodology that ensures that appropriate costs

to the Government and the private sector are identified.

''(9) Provide for the performance of maintenance and repair for

any new weapons systems defined as core, under section 2464 of

title 10, United States Code, in facilities owned and operated by

the United States.

''(e) Considerations. - In developing the policy, the Secretary

shall take into consideration the following matters:

''(1) The national security interests of the United States.

''(2) The capabilities of the public depots and the

capabilities of businesses in the private sector to perform the

maintenance and repair work required by the Department of

Defense.

''(3) Any applicable recommendations of the Defense Base

Closure and Realignment Commission that are required to be

implemented under the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of

1990 (part A of title XXIX of div. B of Pub. L. 101-510, set out

as a note under section 2687 of this title).

''(4) The extent to which the readiness of the Armed Forces

would be affected by a necessity to construct new facilities to

accommodate any redistribution of depot-level maintenance and

repair workloads that is made in accordance with the

recommendation of the Defense Base Closure and Realignment

Commission, under the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of

1990, that such workloads be consolidated at Department of

Defense depots or private-sector facilities.

''(5) Analyses of costs and benefits of alternatives, including

a comparative analysis of -

''(A) the costs and benefits, including any readiness

implications, of any proposed policy to convert to contractor

performance of depot-level maintenance and repair workloads

where the workload is being performed by Department of Defense

personnel; and

''(B) the costs and benefits, including any readiness

implications, of a policy to transfer depot-level maintenance

and repair workloads among depots.

''((f), (g) Repealed. Pub. L. 105-85, div. A, title III, Sec.

363, Nov. 18, 1997, 111 Stat. 1702.)

''(h) Review by General Accounting Office. - (1) The Secretary

shall make available to the Comptroller General of the United

States all information used by the Department of Defense in

developing the policy under subsections (c) through (e) of this

section.

''(2) Not later than 45 days after the date on which the

Secretary submits to Congress the report required by subsection

(c), the Comptroller General shall transmit to Congress a report

containing a detailed analysis of the Secretary's proposed policy

as reported under such subsection.

''(i) Report on Depot-Level Maintenance and Repair Workload. -

Not later than March 31, 1996, the Secretary of Defense shall

submit to Congress a report on the depot-level maintenance and

repair workload of the Department of Defense. The report shall, to

the maximum extent practicable, include the following:

''(1) An analysis of the need for and effect of the requirement

under section 2466 of title 10, United States Code, that no more

than 40 percent of the depot-level maintenance and repair work of

the Department of Defense be contracted for performance by

non-Government personnel, including a description of the effect

on military readiness and the national security resulting from

that requirement and a description of any specific difficulties

experienced by the Department of Defense as a result of that

requirement.

''(2) An analysis of the distribution during the five fiscal

years ending with fiscal year 1995 of the depot-level maintenance

and repair workload of the Department of Defense between

depot-level activities of the Department of Defense and

non-Government personnel, measured by direct labor hours and by

amounts expended, and displayed, for that five-year period and

for each year of that period, so as to show (for each military

department (and separately for the Navy and Marine Corps)) such

distribution.

amounts expended, and displayed, for that five-year period and

for each year of that period, so as to show (for each military

department (and separately for the Navy and Marine Corps)) such

distribution that would be accomplished under a new policy as

required under subsection (c).

''(j) Other Review by General Accounting Office. - (1) The

Comptroller General of the United States shall conduct an

independent audit of the findings of the Secretary of Defense in

the report under subsection (i). The Secretary of Defense shall
