(2) In this subsection, the term “defense retail systems” means the defense commissary system and exchange stores system and other revenue-generating facilities operated by nonappropriated fund instrumentalities of the Department of Defense for the morale, welfare, and recreation of members of the armed forces.

(c) Common Business Practices.— (1) Notwithstanding subsections (a) and (b), the Secretary of Defense may establish common business processes, practices, and systems—
