military procurement
Armed forces buying
Military procurement is the process by which armed forces acquire weapons, equipment, supplies, and services.
The term covers everything from purchasing ammunition to contracting for aircraft carriers, often involving complex bidding processes and long-term contracts with defense manufacturers.
The new fighter jet program faced delays due to procurement issues.
Procurement scandals—cost overruns, bribes, no-bid contracts—are a recurring feature of military spending.
