Boeing Charged U.S. Air Force 7,943% Markup for C-17 Globemaster Soap Dispensers, 80 Times Higher Than Market Rate
Oct 29, 2024, 03:42 PM
A recent report from the Department of Defense Inspector General has revealed that Boeing charged the U.S. Air Force a staggering 7,943% markup for bathroom soap dispensers used in C-17 Globemaster aircraft. This markup is approximately 80 times higher than the price of commercially available equivalents. The findings emerged following complaints regarding the Air Force being overcharged for these dispensers, prompting an audit that indicated the service was not paying 'fair and reasonable' prices. The investigation highlights concerns over procurement practices within the military, particularly in relation to spare parts and maintenance supplies.
