The Pentagon's inspector general reported that Boeing overcharged the Air Force nearly $1 million for C-17 cargo plane spare parts, revealing significant markups.
12 out of 46 spare parts reviewed were overpriced, including an astounding 8,000% markup on lavatory soap dispensers, raising concerns about procurement integrity.
Boeing challenges the findings, asserting that pricing comparisons may be flawed due to distinctions between aircraft-specific components and basic commercial items.
Since 2011, the U.S. government has awarded Boeing over $30 billion for C-17 parts, illustrating the extensive reliance on the aerospace manufacturer despite recent controversies.
