Warranties
- POC: 703-806-9220
- POC: AMCCP-P, Send email
- The law, (10 USC 2403), regarding waivers for weapon systems warranties was repealed in Nov 97 by the NDAA for FY98-99. AR 700-139, Army Warranty Program Concepts and Policies, is currently undergoing a major revision. The current draft revision of the AR states:
- "All Army Acquisition Organizations that wish to use a warranty will institute procedures to determine the cost-effectiveness, (AR 11-18 and AR 11-28), of warranties. Prior to negotiating a warranty, a cost-effectiveness analysis will be required to determine the value of the potential benefits received in comparison to the contract cost of the warranty, plus the Army's cost of administration and execution."
The exact wording may change before the AR is published. In addition, AMC as the Army Warranty Program Executive Agent, will require that the cost-effectiveness analysis become part of the contract files for future reference.
