(a) A contract of a military department for research or
development, or both, may provide for the acquisition or
construction by, or furnishing to, the contractor, of research,
developmental, or test facilities and equipment that the Secretary
of the military department concerned determines to be necessary for
the performance of the contract. The facilities and equipment, and
specialized housing for them, may be acquired or constructed at the
expense of the United States, and may be lent or leased to the
contractor with or without reimbursement, or may be sold to him at
fair value. This subsection does not authorize new construction or
improvements having general utility.
(b) Facilities that would not be readily removable or separable
without unreasonable expense or unreasonable loss of value may not
be installed or constructed under this section on property not
owned by the United States, unless the contract contains -
(1) a provision for reimbursing the United States for the fair
value of the facilities at the completion or termination of the
contract or within a reasonable time thereafter;
(2) an option in the United States to acquire the underlying
land; or
(3) an alternative provision that the Secretary concerned
considers to be adequate to protect the interests of the United
States in the facilities.
(c) Proceeds of sales or reimbursements under this section shall
be paid into the Treasury as miscellaneous receipts, except to the
extent otherwise authorized by law with respect to property
acquired by the contractor.
