Life Cycle Sustainment of Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) Support Equipment

Abstract

In supporting the warfighter, equipment for current and future missions has been procured through commercial sources to support construction, material handling, firefighting, and many other tasks. The equipment is categorized as commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) or a nondevelopmental item (NDI) with commercial market-proven components. This equipment is procured through programs of record, rapid initiatives (RI), operational needs statements (ONS) and Rapid Equipping the Force (REF) 10-liner documentation, or local leases/purchases to support a unit's assigned mission.
