The PRIME Act modifies procurement rules for defense-related articles, allowing for expedited procurement and follow-on production contracts.
The PRIME Act, or Procurement Reform for Immediate Military Equipment Act, amends procurement rules for defense-related articles. It updates the types of items eligible for procurement under experimental purposes, including demonstrations, prototypes, and auxiliary services. The bill also allows for follow-on production contracts or transactions without competitive procedures if a combatant command determines the item successfully completed the experiment and intends to field it. This change aims to streamline procurement processes for military equipment.
