Subject to section 3501 of title 10, United States Code, the Secretary of the Air Force may enter into one or more multi-year contracts for the procurement of up to 659 Sentinel intercontinental ballistic missiles and for subsystems associated with such missiles. The Secretary of the Air Force may enter into one or more contracts, beginning in fiscal year 2024, for advance procurement associated with the Sentinel intercontinental ballistic missiles for which authorization to enter into a multi-year procurement contract is provided under subsection (a), and for subsystems associated with such missiles in economic order quantities when cost savings are achievable.
A contract entered into under subsection
(a)shall provide that any obligation of the United States to make a payment under the contract for a fiscal year after fiscal year 2024 is subject to the availability of appropriations or funds for that purpose for such later fiscal year. If the total base quantity of Sentinel intercontinental ballistic missiles to be procured through all contracts entered into under subsection
(a)is less than 659, the Secretary of the Air Force shall ensure that one or more of the contracts includes a pre-priced option for the procurement of additional Sentinel intercontinental ballistic missiles such that the sum of such base quantity and the number of such missiles that may be procured through the exercise of such options is equal to 659 missiles. In this subsection: The term base quantity means the quantity of Sentinel intercontinental ballistic missiles to be procured under a contract entered into under subsection (a), excluding any quantity of such missiles that may be procured through the exercise of an option that may be part of such contract. The term pre-priced option means a contract option for a contract entered into under subsection
(a)that, if exercised, would allow the Secretary of the Air Force to procure a quantity of intercontinental ballistic missiles at a predetermined price specified in such contract. The Secretary of the Air Force may not modify a contract entered into under subsection
(a)if the modification would increase the per unit price of the Sentinel intercontinental ballistic missiles by more than 10 percent above the target per unit price specified in the original contract for such missiles under subsection (a). Section 1638 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023 ( Public Law 117–263 ) is amended— in subsection (b)(1), by inserting , who shall report directly to the Commander of Air Force Global Strike Command after Modernization ; and by striking subsection (d)(1) and inserting the following: For purposes of nomenclature and acquisition life cycle activities ranging from development through sustainment and demilitarization, each wing level configuration of the LGM–35A Sentinel intercontinental ballistic missile shall be a weapon system. .
