Description:
1. To reduce costs, federal policy relieves the services from wholesale management of non-military or commercial items. Bases and units
throughout the Air Force acquire authorized equipment of this nature directly from the General Services Administration (GSA), Defense
Logistics Agency (DLA), one of the other services, or from commercial sources. Base Procured Equipment (BPE) provides funds for local
procurement of equipment costing $100,000 or more, which is not centrally managed and procured. Typical application for BPE include roads
and grounds maintenance; vehicle maintenance shops; vehicle corrosion control facilities; specialized tool kits and test equipment, civil
engineering maintenance equipment, electrical and carpenter shops; specialized laboratories; kitchen and dining facilities; printing plants; air
conditioning; heating requirements; microfilm and graphics support facilities.
2. The equipment described above is needed for day-to-day maintenance and operation of bases, weapons and support systems assigned to both
active and air reserve forces. The program supports installations at multiple major commands. Requirements and priorities are affected by
assignment and conversion of new equipment; beddown of new weapon systems; reorganizations; natural disasters; new operational methods to
increase efficiency and safety; and energy conservation initiatives.
3. BPE resources programmed by Air Force major commands and/or field operating agencies are displayed on the following P-40a Budget
Exhibit.
