Inspector General Robert P. Storch explained that significant overpayments for spare parts may reduce the number of spare parts Boeing can purchase, potentially affecting C-17 readiness worldwide.
The Office of Inspector General found that the Air Force overpaid for 26% of the parts reviewed, exposing a lack of historical data for 54% of spare parts reviewed.
A striking example of overcharging was when the Air Force paid over 80 times the commercially available cost for a bathroom soap dispenser, reflecting a 7,943% markup.
The U.S. government has spent over $30 billion in contracts to Boeing over the past 13 years, highlighting the financial scale and implications of these overcharging issues.
