Not later than 120 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall commence a one-year pilot program to test and evaluate the use of covered biobased solutions as alternatives to current solutions for the control and mitigation of corrosion. In carrying out the pilot program under subsection (a), the Secretary shall select for test and evaluation under the pilot program at least one existing covered biobased solution. Following the test and evaluation of a covered biobased solution under the pilot program, the Secretary shall determine, based on such test and evaluation, whether the solution meets the following requirements:
The solution is capable of being produced domestically. The solution is at least as effective at the control and mitigation of corrosion as current alternative solutions. The solution reduces environmental exposures. Upon termination of the pilot program under subsection (a), the Secretary shall develop recommendations for the Department of Defense-wide deployment of covered biobased solutions that the Secretary has determined meet the requirements under subsection (c). In this section, the term covered biobased solution means a solution for the control and mitigation of corrosion that is domestically produced, commercial, and biobased.
