scope:

This Directive applies to:

1. The Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), the Military Departments, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Unified Combatant Commands, the Inspector General of the Department of Defense, the Defense Agencies, and the DoD Field Activities (hereafter referred to collectively as "the DoD Components").

2. All goods and services procured by the Department of Defense. The DoD Components shall assess industrial capabilities on a case-by-case basis when there is a known or projected problem. The guidelines in this Directive shall be used when a DoD acquisition manager, inventory control point manager, or other buyer determines there is a substantial risk that an industrial capability needed to support DoD programs or products may be lost. For capabilities used by more than one DoD program or product, the DoD Components should coordinate analyses and related decisions with other affected DoD Components and programs.
