Sec. 2460. Definition of depot-level maintenance and repair

    (a) In General.--In this chapter, the term ``depot-level maintenance 
and repair'' means (except as provided in subsection (b)) material 
maintenance or repair requiring the overhaul, upgrading, or rebuilding 
of parts, assemblies, or subassemblies, and the testing and reclamation 
of equipment as necessary, regardless of the source of funds for the 
maintenance or repair or the location at which the maintenance or repair 
is performed. The term includes (1) all aspects of software maintenance 
classified by the Department of Defense as of July 1, 1995, as depot-
level maintenance and repair, and (2) interim contractor support or 
contractor logistics support (or any similar contractor support), to the 
extent that such support is for the performance of services described in 
the preceding sentence.
    (b) Exceptions.--(1) The term does not include the procurement of 
major modifications or upgrades of weapon systems that are designed to 
improve program performance or the nuclear refueling of an aircraft 
carrier. A major upgrade program covered by this exception could 
continue to be performed by private or public sector activities.
    (2) The term also does not include the procurement of parts for 
safety modifications. However, the term does include the installation of 
parts for that purpose.
