Modification and extension of pilot program for transition to follow-on contracts under authority to carry out certain prototype projects (sec. 822) The committee recommends a provision that would extend for 4 years the authority granted in section 847 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2004 (Public Law 108-136) for the Department of Defense to carry out a pilot program for the transition of non-traditional defense contractors from prototype transactions to follow-on contracts. The provision would also ensure that the transition authority may be used for technologies developed under research projects carried out pursuant to section 2371 of title 10, United States Code.
