Streamlining Military Base Repairs: Internal Ordering Authority for DoD Facilities.

This law aims to make the maintenance and repair of Department of Defense (DoD) facilities more efficient. It allows one DoD department or organization to hire another DoD entity for maintenance or minor construction projects, rather than always relying on private contractors. This change is intended to speed up necessary repairs and ensure taxpayer funds are used effectively for military infrastructure upkeep.
Key points
DoD departments can now place internal orders with other DoD organizations for facility maintenance and minor construction projects.
These internal orders are treated financially like contracts with private companies, including a provision for up to 10% contingency expenses.
