§1107 — Title 14 Coast Guard | U.S. Code

Summary

The Secretary may extend an existing Coast Guard major acquisition contract without holding a new competition and buy more units if the Director of the Cost Analysis Division at the Department of Homeland Security finds that switching to a new contract under sections 1105(a)(2) and 2304 of title 10 would not save more money than it would cost. At the Secretary’s request, the Director must calculate how much a new contract would save for the number of extra units the Secretary wants, and must also estimate the costs of making a new award, including delays and design-change costs. The Secretary cannot buy more units than the Director’s finding allows. A contract can be extended more than once.
