Title:
PROCUREMENT: Limited Data on DOD's Parts Breakout Program
Report Date:
1986-10-10
Abstract:
Government buyers may face problems in attempting to competitively purchase spare parts or otherwise be assured of obtaining a fair and reasonable price. In some instances, a spare part must be purchased from the prime contractor before suitable technical data (for example, engineering drawings necessary for a company to manufacture the spare parts) is available which could be provided to potential offerors interested in competing for the spare part contracts. To improve this situation, DOD established its Breakout Program in an attempt to reduce the cost of spare parts for weapon systems by breaking out the procurement of these spare parts from the original contractor. Special teams at each service or DLA facility screen (technically review) spare parts as early as possible to identify those of high-dollar value and to determine the optimum procurement methods, particularly, the potential for competition or direct purchase from the actual manufacturer.
