U.S. defense procurement is fiendishly complex; this article demystifies the system. It provides an introduction for nontraditional suppliers who may be reluctant to participate. To this end, it outlines the mechanics, details the legal framework, and assesses the system’s viability. The penultimate section advocates greater transatlantic participation, discusses barriers, and suggests how foreign suppliers can engage more effectively. If more robust competition is achieved, the potential payoff is immense for taxpayers, contractors, and not least the warfighter.
