The Secretary of the Army shall establish a pilot program for the development of an online real estate tool to identify the existing inventory of space available at the Army installations selected by the Secretary under paragraph
(2)for the purposes specified in subsection (b). The Secretary shall evaluate the online inventory tool at not less than five, but not more than 10, Army installations selected by the Secretary as appropriate locations for evaluation of the online inventory tool. The Secretary shall establish the pilot program and develop the online inventory tool in consultation with the Administrator of General Services and the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Sustainment. The purposes of the online inventory tool are— to achieve efficiencies in real estate property management consistent with the National Defense Strategy goal of finding greater efficiencies within Department of Defense operations; to provide a means to better market to the public information regarding space available at Army installations for better utilization of such space; and to provide a means to better quantify existing space available at Army installations and how it is utilized for current missions and requirements. To establish the pilot program, the Secretary of the Army shall— consider innovative approaches, including the use of other transaction authorities consistent with section 2371 of title 10, United States Code, and the use of commercial off-the-shelf technologies; develop appropriate protections of sensitive or classified information from being included with the online inventory tool; and develop appropriate levels of access for private sector users of the online inventory tool. In connection with the development of the online inventory tool, the Secretary of the Army shall develop policy requiring the use of the online inventory tool at the Army installations selected under subsection (a)(2) to query for existing inventory at such installations before any military construction or off-post leases are agreed to for such installations. The Secretary shall ensure that all relevant notifications to congressional defense committees include certification that the online inventory tool was used. In this section, the term online inventory tool means the online real estate tool developed under the pilot program to identify existing inventory of space available at Army installations selected to participate in the pilot program. Nothing in this section shall be construed to effect the application of title V of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act ( 42 U.S.C. 11411 et seq.). Not later than February 15, 2025, the Secretary of the Army shall submit to Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives a report evaluating the success of the pilot program in achieving the purposes specified in subsection (b). At a minimum, the report also shall identify and contain the following: The Army installations selected under subsection (a)(2) to participate in the pilot program. The number of real estate agreements entered into by the Department of the Army that were facilitated by use of the online inventory tool, including for each agreement the installation, amount of space, value, and purpose of the agreement. An evaluation of the extent to which use of the online inventory tool reduced the need for military construction or off-post leases. An evaluation of any impediments to efficient use of the online inventory tool.
