The Secretary of the Navy may only enter into a contract with a private entity for a maintenance and modernization availability for a fast attack submarine that requires drydocking the submarine if the following conditions are met: The submarine is a Virginia-class submarine. The submarine has not conducted a previous drydock availability. The work package for the contract is sufficiently detailed and provided to the private entity with sufficient time to enable a high-confidence contracting strategy for— planning; material procurement; cost; schedule; and performance.
At least 70 percent of the work package for the contract is common to the work packages for previous contracts entered into under this subsection. In awarding contracts for maintenance and modernization availabilities for surface ships, issuing task orders for such availabilities, or carrying out other contracting actions with respect to such availabilities, the Secretary of the Navy may not limit evaluation factors to price only.
