scope:

Use/Relationship: The 50/50 Report Data Item Description (DID) will be used to obtain the essential information required by Title 10 United States Code (USC) Section 2466, also known as the 50/50 law, as amended by the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) of Fiscal Year 1998 (FY98).

a. The FY98 NDAA limited the Air Force to not more than 50 percent of the funds managed by the Air Force be used to contract for non-Federal Government personnel to perform depotlevel maintenance. Prior to this NDAA, the limit for contract depot-level maintenance was 40 percent. The National Defense Authorization Act for FY02 created an exemption for non- Federal Government personnel performing depot-level maintenance at a Center of Industrial and Technical Excellence (CITE) if the personnel are provided by private industry pursuant to a public-private partnership, as outlined in Title 10 USC Section 2474. Consequently, the law requires the depot-level maintenance organic/contract/partnership dollar information be reported to Congress. As the Product Support Integrator (PSI), the contractor supports the Government in compiling this data to comply with the law.

b. This DID contains the format and content preparation instructions for the data product generated by the specific task requirement delineated in the contract.

c. This DID supersedes DI-MGMT-81749A.
