Analysis of Selected Sections of DOD's Revised Breakout Regulation

Abstract

DOD established its breakout program in 1963. DOD issued the joint services regulation, High Dollar Spare Parts Breakout Program, in March 1969. The regulation reflected DOD's attempt to reduce the cost of replenishing spare parts for weapon systems by "breaking out the procurement of these parts from the original contractor. The objective of this program was to screen spare parts, as early as possible, to identify those of high-dollar value and to determine the optimum procurement methods, particularly, the potential for breakout for competition or direct purchase from the actual manufacturer.
