Download or read book Warranties in Weapon System Procurement: An Analysis of Practice and Theory written by . This book was released on 1987. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Congressional legislation requires that all major weapon systems contracts signed after January 1, 1985, contain three types of written warranties: design-manufacture, materials-workmanship, and essential performance requirements. This study reviews the specifics of the law, its legislative history, and Congressional intent revealed in relevant hearings. Through analysis of recent weapon system contracts from all the Services, supplemented by field interviews with contracting personnel, the study ascertains the changes in contractual warranty provisions effected by the mandate. Research is then directed more deeply into the functions of weapon systems warranties and their economic appropriateness in a Department of Defense context.

Book Synopsis Value of Warranties in Department of Defense (DOD) Acquisitions by : James A. Wells
Download or read book Value of Warranties in Department of Defense (DOD) Acquisitions written by James A. Wells. This book was released on 1997. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Warranties have been a point of considerable discussion, if not controversy, within the Department of Defense (DoD) acquisition community for over a decade. Use of warranties within defense procurements is not new. What changed was the requirement placed upon DoD by Congress that mandates their use in weapon system procurement. The primary points of contention with defense use of warranties, besides their mandatory use, is whether they are cost effective and practical for use in acquisition of weapon systems. Numerous studies and reports have been published questioning the benefit of weapon system warranties. For the most part, these documents have recommended repeal of the law requiring warranties. The General Accounting Office published a recent report supporting repeal, while citing weapon systems warranties as impractical and not cost effective, which resulted in the government receiving a financial return of approximately 5 cents on the dollar. Mandating warranties for defense acquisition has not been a success. Although warranties in the commercial marketplace have been beneficial, they are impractical and not cost effective for use in defense. It is time for Congress to repeal the warranty statute.
