摘要

The Directive reissues DoD Directive 4140.40, February 20, 1973, prescribes the policy and procedures for provisioning for initial support of end items of materiel acquired by contract from commercial and industrial sources, and cancels DoD Instruction 5100.63 and DoD Instruction 4140.19. Consistent with DoD Directive 5000.39, this Directive promotes the effective, efficient, and timely provisioning for initial support by and among the using Military Departments, the Defense Agencies, and their industry suppliers and, by agreement, with the General Services Administration.
