§2812 — Title 10 Armed Forces | U.S. Code

Summary

The Secretary in charge can make a lease with a private contractor for a facility the contractor builds at its own cost on a Department of Defense military base. The rule covers nine kinds of facilities, including offices, troop housing, energy and utility plants, hospitals, temporary lodging, storage depots, child care, and classrooms/labs. Leases can run no longer than 32 years. At the end of the lease, ownership goes to the United States. Leases must include any other terms the Secretary finds needed to protect U.S. interests and must say that yearly lease payments depend on available appropriations. Before signing, the Secretary must wait 14 days after sending an electronic justification to the appropriate congressional committees under section 480. That justification must include an economic life‑cycle cost analysis showing the lease is cheaper than building the same facility. A Secretary may enter no more than three such leases in fiscal year 1990 and no more than five in each of fiscal years 1991 and 1992.
