Section 818 of the John Warner National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007 ( Public Law 109–364 ; 120 Stat. 2329) is amended by adding at the end the following new subsection: The number of fixed price ships awarded on a contract for the procurement of shipbuilding associated with a major defense acquisition program may not be more than two if— the milestone decision authority authorizes the use of a fixed-price type contract at the time of a decision on Milestone B approval; and the scope of the work of the fixed-price type contract includes both the detail design and construction of items for such major defense acquisition program. The limitation in paragraph
(1)may be waived by the Secretary concerned if written notification of a granted waiver, including certification that basic and functional design are complete, is provided to the congressional defense committees not later than 30 days after issuance of the waiver. In this subsection: The term basic and functional design has the meaning provided in section 8669c(c)(1) of title 10, United States Code. The term construction means steel cutting and block fabrication, assembly, and outfitting of blocks, keel laying, and block erection supporting the launch and eventual delivery of a completed ship. The term detail design means the finalization of design using 3D modeling to enable the generation of work instructions for each block of the ship. These work instructions show detailed system information and support construction, including guidance for subcontractors and suppliers, installation drawings, schedules, material lists, and lists of prefabricated materials and parts. .
