Report To The Secretary Of Defense


DOD Making Progress In Identifying

And Marketing Obsolete Repair Parts




Obsolete defense items are generally defined as
systems and associated repair parts no longer used by
U.S. Forces. However, the systems may still be used
by friendly foreign governments which may have a
continuing need for the repair parts. The services
should be identifying these parts and marketing them
through system support buy-out procedures to
friendly forces still using the systems.

In 1979 GAO reported that the U.S. Army was
regularly marketing its obsolete items through a
system support buy-out program. However, the U.S.
Air Force and Navy were not. GAO recommended that
the Air Force and Navy develop programs to regularly
market their obsolete items. GAO's followup review
shows that the Army has continued with its efforts
and the Air Force and Navy began their programs in
1982.


GAO believes that DOD is making progress on system
support buy-out programs. GAO also believes that the
recent Air Force and Navy initiatives should be closely
monitored to assure that they are achieving optimum
resu Its.
