Research, Development, and Acquisition AMC-TRADOC (Army Materiel Command-Army Training and Doctrine Command) Nondevelopment Item (NDI) Acquisition Handbook.

Abstract

Nondevelopment Item (NDI) is a generic term that covers materiel available from a variety of sources with little or no development effort by the Army. NDIs are normally selected from (1) Commercial sources, (2) Materiel developed and in use by other US military services or Government agencies, and (3) Materiel developed and in use by other countries. This handbook focuses on three general categories of NDI -- Category A - Off-the-shelf items to be used in the same environment as commercial use. No research, development, or testing required. A simplified Market Investigation is required. Category B - Off-the-shelf items to be used in a military environment substantially different than the commercial environment. Category C - A new system assembled from components (commercial market/other services/foreign). In addition, system may require hardware/software development and integration.
