# 10 U.S.C. § 4203 - Major subprograms
|
||||
|
||||
## Text
|
||||
|
||||
(a) Authority To Designate Major Subprograms as Subject to Acquisition Reporting Requirements.— (1) (A) If the Secretary of Defense determines that a major defense acquisition program requires the delivery of two or more categories of end items which differ significantly from each other in form and function, the Secretary may designate each such category of end items as a major subprogram for the purposes of acquisition reporting under this subpart.
|
||||
|
||||
(B) If the Secretary of Defense determines that a major defense acquisition program requires the delivery of two or more increments or blocks, the Secretary may designate each such increment or block as a major subprogram for the purposes of acquisition reporting under this subpart.
|
||||
|
||||
(2) The Secretary shall notify the congressional defense committees in writing of any proposed designation pursuant to paragraph (1) not less than 30 days before the date such designation takes effect.
|
||||
|
||||
(b) Reporting Requirements.— (1) If the Secretary designates a major subprogram of a major defense acquisition program in accordance with subsection (a), Selected Acquisition Reports, unit cost reports, and program baselines under this subpart shall reflect cost, schedule, and performance information—
|
||||
|
||||
(A) for the major defense acquisition program as a whole (other than as provided in paragraph (2)); and
|
||||
|
||||
(B) for each major subprogram of the major defense acquisition program so designated.
|
||||
|
||||
(2) For a major defense acquisition program for which a designation of a major subprogram has been made under subsection (a), unit costs under this subpart shall be submitted in accordance with the definitions in subsection (d).
|
||||
|
||||
(c) Requirement to Cover Entire Major Defense Acquisition Program.— If a subprogram of a major defense acquisition program is designated as a major subprogram under subsection (a), all other elements of the major defense acquisition program shall be appropriately organized into one or more subprograms under the major defense acquisition program, each of which subprograms, as so organized, shall be treated as a major subprogram under subsection (a).
|
||||
|
||||
(d) Definitions.— Notwithstanding paragraphs (1) and (2) of section 4351(a) of this title, in the case of a major defense acquisition program for which the Secretary has designated one or more major subprograms under this section for the purposes of this subpart—
|
||||
|
||||
(1) the term “program acquisition unit cost” applies at the level of the subprogram and means the total cost for the development and procurement of, and specific military construction for, the major defense acquisition program that is reasonably allocable to each such major subprogram, divided by the relevant number of fully-configured end items to be produced under such major subprogram;
|
||||
|
||||
(2) the term “procurement unit cost” applies at the level of the subprogram and means the total of all funds programmed to be available for obligation for procurement for each such major subprogram, divided by the number of fully-configured end items to be procured under such major subprogram;
|
||||
|
||||
(3) the term “major contract”, with respect to a designated major subprogram, means each of the six largest prime, associate, or Government furnished equipment contracts under the subprogram that is in excess of $40,000,000 and that is not a firm-fixed price contract; and
|
||||
|
||||
(4) the term “life cycle cost”, with respect to a designated major subprogram, means all costs of development, procurement, military construction, and operations and support, without regard to funding source or management control.

||||

# 10 U.S.C. § 4204 - Milestone decision authority
|
||||
|
||||
## Text
|
||||
|
||||
(a) Service Acquisition Executive.— The milestone decision authority for a major defense acquisition program reaching Milestone A after October 1, 2016, shall be the service acquisition executive of the military department that is managing the program, unless the Secretary of Defense designates, under subsection (b), another official to serve as the milestone decision authority.
|
||||
|
||||
(b) Designation of Alternate Milestone Decision Authority.— The Secretary of Defense may designate an alternate milestone decision authority for a program with respect to which any of the following applies:
|
||||
|
||||
(1) Subject to subsection (f), the Secretary determines that the program is addressing a joint requirement.
|
||||
|
||||
(2) The Secretary determines that the program is best managed by a Defense Agency.
|
||||
|
||||
(3) The program has incurred a unit cost increase greater than the significant cost threshold or critical cost threshold under sections 4371 through 4375 of this title.
|
||||
|
||||
(4) The program is critical to a major interagency requirement or technology development effort, or has significant international partner involvement.
|
||||
|
||||
(5) The Secretary determines that an alternate official serving as the milestone decision authority will best provide for the program to achieve desired cost, schedule, and performance outcomes.
|
||||
|
||||
(c) Reversion to Service Acquisition Executive.— (1) After designating an alternate milestone decision authority under subsection (b) for a program, the Secretary of Defense may revert the position of milestone decision authority for the program back to the service acquisition executive upon request of the Secretary of the military department concerned. A decision on the request shall be made within 180 days after receipt of the request from the Secretary of the military department concerned.
|
||||
|
||||
(2) If the Secretary of Defense denies the request for reversion of the milestone decision authority back to the service acquisition executive, the Secretary shall report to the congressional defense committees on the basis of the Secretary’s decision that an alternate official serving as milestone decision authority will best provide for the program to achieve desired cost, schedule, and performance outcomes. No such reversion is authorized after a program has incurred a unit cost increase greater than the significant cost threshold or critical cost threshold under sections 4371 through 4375 of this title, except in exceptional circumstances.
|
||||
|
||||
(d) Certifications relating to program requirements and funding.— For each major defense acquisition program, the Secretary of the military department concerned and the Chief of the armed force concerned shall, in each Selected Acquisition Report required under section 4351 of this title—
|
||||
|
||||
(1) certify that program requirements are stable and funding is adequate to meet cost, schedule, and performance objectives for the program; and
|
||||
|
||||
(2) identify and report to the congressional defense committees on any increased risk to the program since the last report.
|
||||
|
||||
(e) Documentation and Oversight.— The Secretary of Defense shall review the acquisition oversight process for major defense acquisition programs and shall—
|
||||
|
||||
(1) limit outside requirements for documentation to an absolute minimum on those programs where the service acquisition executive of the military department that is managing the program is the milestone decision authority; and
|
||||
|
||||
(2) ensure that any policies, procedures, and activities related to oversight efforts conducted outside of the military departments with regard to major defense acquisition programs shall be implemented in a manner that does not unnecessarily increase program costs or impede program schedules.

||||
