Since the MilSpec Reform efforts of the mid-1990s, DoD has increasingly relied upon the commercial marketplace to fulfill its needs for military products and serv- ices. Our ability to field affordable, state-of-the-art systems when they are needed, to buy the millions of items needed to support our troops and fielded systems, and to provide the necessary services to our military personnel depends on efficient use of available resources.We must continue our efforts to make effective use of com- mercial items-both products and services-and nondevelopmental items in DoD acquisitions.
This document offers guidance on acquisitions involving all types of commercial and nondevelopmental items: systems, subsystems, assemblies, parts, and items of supply. Commercial services are also addressed.This document does not present a "cookbook" approach to the acquisition of commercial and nondevelopmental items; such an approach could not accommodate the vast array of potential applica- tions. It does offer lessons learned and things to consider when participating on an integrated product team.
