Apart from the dispensers, the most recent audit of the military’s ongoing, $35.6 billion C-17 maintenance contract focused on 45 other spare part categories including toilets and toilet doors, protective tape, and window panels. Auditors deemed a sale “fair and reasonable” if there was a maximum 25 percent markup on any given item bulk order. In this case, the report only classified nine part orders totalling $20.3 million as fair and reasonable—from there, however, things apparently got murkier. The USAF “could not determine” if another 25 spare items that collectively cost the military $22.2 million were fairly priced, while $4.3 million was spent on 9 item orders judged “not… fair or reasonable.”
