The old sad story...save program costs and leave buying the data to Logistics people down line! Then the Logistics people can't get right kind of procurement fund to do something that should have done on the front end of a program. If you don't buy the data rights, no manufacturer in their right mind gives away rights for free. They have shareholders as well! And that commits logistics procurement to buy from original producer at negotiated current price plus procurement management costs. And procurement of _one each of anything_ incurs the fully loaded gross price tag. So the Congressman can make the claim that a specialty manufacturer is the bad guy, but it was highly ranked DoD official or Flag officer that made the decision not to procure the design data and probably got a promotion for "saving procurement funds" on the program cost!! In the end, everyone looks dumb!! On 5/15/2026 14:31, mgbrattland@gerlecreek.com wrote:
