Military Right to Repair: Easier Access to Parts and Tools
New regulations aim to facilitate the Department of Defense's access to parts, tools, and information needed for military equipment repair. This means contractors will have to provide fair and reasonable access to repair materials, potentially leading to greater efficiency and lower maintenance costs, ultimately benefiting taxpayers.
Key points
Military contractors will be required to provide the Department of Defense with access to parts, tools, and information necessary for repairing purchased equipment.
The Department of Defense will be able to repair equipment independently or through other contractors, increasing independence and reducing costs.
The act allows for waivers for existing programs, but only with justification and a risk assessment.
A review of contracts will be conducted to remove intellectual property constraints that hinder repairs.
