§1138 Service Life Extension Programs

Summary

The Coast Guard does not have to follow the Level 1 or Level 2 acquisition rules in sections 1131 through 1134 when it is doing a service life extension program. A service life extension program means a major purchase or upgrade that is only meant to lengthen how long an asset can be used and to fix or replace worn-out or outdated parts or systems of a specific capability or asset.
