It would allow several types of Defense Department funds, including non-appropriated funds, to pay for those services. It would extend the authority through September 30, 2030, and clarify that covered services can include facility repair, construction, maintenance, or operation. A pilot program would allow one agreement each for the Army, Navy, and Air Force, with terms of up to 20 years.
