Defense Procurement: Qualification and Quality Requirements for Purchases of Critical Spare Parts
Abstract
After a military service acquires a major system-for example, an aircraft engine-it must purchase spare parts to support the system. Some of these parts are designated as critical. As part of its Breakout Program, DOD has attempted to lower the cost of spare parts, including critical parts, by purchasing them from sources other than the prime contractor.
