The Secretary of Defense shall submit to the congressional defense committees a report on the feasibility of a licensing model under which, with respect to Department of Defense-owned vaccines or other medical interventions relating to COVID–19 that are approved, licensed, or otherwise authorized for use in accordance with applicable law, the Secretary would grant to Government-owned contractor-operated manufacturers nonexclusive licenses to manufacture such vaccines or other interventions. The report under subsection
(a)shall include an evaluation of the estimated differences in the pricing of, and equitable access to, the vaccines and other interventions specified in such subsection, that may arise as a result of— the Secretary granting exclusive licenses to manufacture such vaccines and other interventions, as compared with nonexclusive licenses; and the Secretary granting either such license to Government-owned contractor-operated manufacturers, as compared with other manufacturers.
