The Pentagon's inspector general revealed that Boeing overcharged the Air Force nearly $1 million for C-17 spare parts, including extraordinary markups for basic items.
Boeing defended itself, claiming the report compares prices for qualified parts versus basic commercial items, asserting compliance with contract specifications.
Findings indicated that from 2018 to 2022, 12 of the 46 spare parts reviewed were overpriced by the Defense Department's auditor, revealing potential discrepancies.
The C-17 aircraft, crucial for military logistics, played a vital role during the Afghanistan withdrawal, emphasizing the importance of ensuring fair pricing for its parts.
