How do you pay $90,000 for a bag of bushings? -The law. Buy American laws for everything—even bushings—drives up prices. The certificates of confirmance and traceability equate to work—lots of it. - Aerospace standards. Parts that keep an aircraft flying require a large amount of testing that I don’t need to fix my lawnmower. - One size fits all quality standards. Sometimes it matters, and sometimes it doesn’t. But in our risk averse world, it is easier to make it all matter. - MANY companies that are simply unwilling to do the paperwork and go through the hassle to do work with the government. It is just too much hassle and work. That reduces the completion, and keeps the pain factor high for those who do work with the government. BL, it is not as simple as a $90,000 bag of bushings. But most of it is fixable.
