10 U.S.C. § 2461a: Development and…

Summary

The Secretary of Defense must track how well and how much each Defense function costs if that function was put through a public-private competition under section 2461 after October 30, 2000. The Secretary must compare the cost before the competition to the cost after the changes take effect, record any real savings, and compare those savings to the estimated savings reported under section 2461(a)(1)(E). This tracking must continue for at least five years after the function is converted, reorganized, or reengineered. When making the future-years defense program under section 221, the Secretary must estimate and include the costs and savings for the covered fiscal years from functions done by the workforce chosen in those competitions, and must use the monitoring results to make those estimates.
