10 U.S.C. § 2461a — Development and implementation of system for monitoring cost saving resulting from public-private competitions

(a) System for Monitoring Performance .—
(1) The Secretary of Defense must monitor the performance, including the cost of performance, of each Department of Defense “function” that becomes the subject of a “public-private competition” under section 2461 of this title after October 30, 2000. This section does not define “function” or “public-private competition.”
(2) In carrying out paragraph (1), the Secretary must—
(A) compare the cost of performing the function before the public-private competition with the cost after the results of the public-private competition are implemented; and
(B) identify any actual savings for the Department of Defense after the results are implemented, and compare those savings with the estimated savings identified under section 2461(a)(1)(E) of this title for that public-private competition;
(3) The Secretary must continue monitoring a function under this section for at least five years after the function is converted, reorganized, or reengineered because of the public-private competition.

(b) Consideration in Preparation of Future-Years Defense Program .— When preparing the “future-years defense program” under section 221 of this title, the Secretary of Defense must, for the fiscal years covered by the program, estimate and take into account the costs that will be incurred and the savings that will result from workforces performing functions after being selected in public-private competitions under section 2461 of this title. The Secretary must consider the monitoring results under this section when making those estimates. This section does not define “future-years defense program” or “workforces.”
