This paper offers insight into the challenges of the modern day defense department procurement process. The Common Munitions Built-in-Test (BIT) Reprogramming Equipment (CMBRE) will be used to initiate BIT and provide BIT status. The CMBRE will also up load/ down load and verify applicable software including Operational Flight Programs (OFPs) and mission planning data. The CMBRE is an interservice tester which embodies all the elements of the "new" procurement process. This process includes Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) emphasis, military streamlining initiatives, combined Air Force and Navy Integrated Product Teams (IPTs) multiple munitions testing, portability and an interservice/contractor communication process. This paper gives unique management and technical perspective, written against a real world contract backdrop, and provides lessons which can provide guidance for both the buyer and seller to achieve a "Win-win" outcome for defense related procurements heading into the 21st century.
