Restructuring Defense Acquisition Law
As of January 1, 2022, the reorganization of Part V (titled “Acquisition”) of subtitle A of Title 10, U.S.C., is enacted. The new structure makes no substantive changes to Title 10, but improves the readability of the defense acquisition provisions through a new section numbering system and overall reorganization. There are over 200 changes, most of which are a simple renumbering (e.g. Section 2508 “Industrial Base Fund” becomes Section 4817). Some former single sections are reorganized into multiple new sections (e.g. Section 2306 “Kinds of Contracts” becomes Sections 3321-3323). A table listing the changes can be found below, along with the four Title 10 “Rosetta Stone” documents.
