Referred to the House Committee on Armed Services.
This bill authorizes the Secretary of Defense to use a special type of contract called "cost-plus incentive-fee" contracts for construction projects related to the Sentinel Intercontinental Ballistic Missile program. Normally, federal law restricts this type of contract, but this legislation creates an exception to allow the Defense Department to use them for military construction at three Air Force bases: F.E. Warren in Wyoming, Malmstrom in Montana, and Minot in North Dakota. The contracts would apply to launch facilities, launch centers, and related infrastructure needed for the Sentinel program and would be limited to one initial production lot at each location. This type of contract is intended to help manage risks to the program's schedule and costs. The bill does not specify funding amounts or implementation timelines beyond allowing this contracting authority.
