§2469 — Title 10 Armed Forces | U.S. Code

Summary

The Secretary of Defense must not move depot-level maintenance and repair work from a DoD depot to a private contractor or to another depot unless the work is awarded through either a merit-based competition among all DoD depots or a competitive process open to both public and private entities. The rule applies to work worth $3,000,000 or more, counting labor and materials, when it is currently done by a DoD depot. It does not apply if the work is done at a designated Center of Industrial and Technical Excellence under a public‑private partnership between a depot and a private company. Office of Management and Budget Circular A‑76 (or any replacement) does not apply to these changes.
