SECTION 1. CONSOLIDATION OF CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS.

    (a) Amendment to Title 10.--
            (1) In general.--Chapter 141 of title 10, United States 
        Code, is amended by inserting after section 2381 the following 
        new section:
``Sec. 2382. Consolidation of contract requirements: policy and 
              restrictions
    ``(a) Policy.--The Secretary of Defense shall require the Secretary 
of each military department, the head of each Defense Agency, and the 
head of each Department of Defense Field Activity to ensure that the 
decisions made by that official regarding consolidation of contract 
requirements of the department, agency, or activity as the case may be, 
are made with a view to providing small business concerns with 
appropriate opportunities to participate in Department of Defense 
procurements as prime contractors and appropriate opportunities to 
participate in such procurements as subcontractors.
    ``(b) Limitation on Use of Acquisition Strategies Involving 
Consolidation.--(1) An official of a military department, Defense 
Agency, or Department of Defense Field Activity may not execute an 
acquisition strategy that includes a consolidation of contract 
requirements of the military department, agency, or activity with a 
total value in excess of $5,000,000, unless the senior procurement 
executive concerned first--
            ``(A) conducts market research;
            ``(B) identifies any alternative contracting approaches 
        that would involve a lesser degree of consolidation of contract 
        requirements; and
            ``(C) determines that the consolidation is necessary and 
        justified.
    ``(2) A senior procurement executive may determine that an 
acquisition strategy involving a consolidation of contract requirements 
is necessary and justified for the purposes of paragraph (1) if the 
benefits of the acquisition strategy substantially exceed the benefits 
of each of the possible alternative contracting approaches identified 
under subparagraph (B) of that paragraph. However, savings in 
administrative or personnel costs alone do not constitute, for such 
purposes, a sufficient justification for a consolidation of contract 
requirements in a procurement unless the total amount of the cost 
savings is expected to be substantial in relation to the total cost of 
the procurement.
    ``(3) Benefits considered for the purposes of paragraphs (1) and 
(2) may include cost and, regardless of whether quantifiable in dollar 
amounts--
            ``(A) quality;
            ``(B) acquisition cycle;
            ``(C) terms and conditions; and
            ``(D) any other benefit.
    ``(c) Definitions.--In this section:
            ``(1) The terms `consolidation of contract requirements' 
        and `consolidation', with respect to contract requirements of a 
        military department, Defense Agency, or Department of Defense 
        Field Activity, mean a use of a solicitation to obtain offers 
        for a single contract or a multiple award contract to satisfy 
        two or more requirements of that department, agency, or 
        activity for goods or services that have previously been 
        provided to, or performed for, that department, agency, or 
        activity under two or more separate contracts smaller in cost 
        than the total cost of the contract for which the offers are 
        solicited.
            ``(2) The term ``multiple award contract'' means--
                    ``(A) a contract that is entered into by the 
                Administrator of General Services under the multiple 
                award schedule program referred to in section 
                2302(2)(C) of this title;
                    ``(B) a multiple award task order contract or 
                delivery order contract that is entered into under the 
                authority of sections 2304a through 2304d of this title 
                or sections 303H through 303K of the Federal Property 
                and Administrative Services Act of 1949 (41 U.S.C. 253h 
                through 253k); and
                    ``(C) any other indeterminate delivery,

                the head of a Federal agency with two or more sources 
                pursuant to the same solicitation.
            ``(3) The term `senior procurement executive concerned' 
        means--
                    ``(A) with respect to a military department, the 
                official designated under section 16(3) of the Office 
                of Federal Procurement Policy Act (41 U.S.C. 414(3)) as

                department; or

            (1) Requirement for review.--The Secretary of Defense shall 
        revise the data collection systems of the Department of Defense 
        to ensure that such systems are capable of identifying each

        of $5,000,000.
            (2) Periodic review.--The Secretary shall ensure that

                contract requirements in the Department of Defense; and
                    (B) to assess the impact of the consolidation of 
                contract requirements on the availability of 
                opportunities for small business concerns to 
                participate in Department of Defense procurements, both 
                as prime contractors and as subcontractors.
