This material on procurement is one of several

chapters now being prepared for the Statistical volumes of

the series U. S. ARMY IN WORLD WAR II.

This chapter has been prepared through the joint

efforts of the Program Review and Analysis Division, Office,

Comptroller of the Army, and the War Histories Division,

Office of the Chief of Military History.

The authors and their associates made a detailed

study of available publications and records and found it

necessary in some cases, to choose between conflicting

sources. Through the cooperation of personnel in the U. S.

Air Force; the U.S. Army, Assistant Chief of Staff, G-4; and

each of the Army technical services, all figures presented

herein were reviewed some time ago by personnel in the

agencies primarily concerned with their compilation.

Any suggestions for improving the accuracy of the

material in this chapter will be appreciated.

PROCUREMENT

The total dollar value of materiel procured by the War Department from July 1940

through August 1945 was about 117,00,000,000. This amount covers supplies and equipment

procured by the Army Service Forces and the Army Air Forces, either by purchase or manufacture in their own facilities, for War Department use or for transfer to the Navy, other

U. S. agencies, or foreign governments under the Lend-Lease Program.

The spectacular rise in Army procurement which began early in 1942 would not

have been possible without the combined efforts of the Congress, the President, the War

Department, and the emergency agencies created to direct industrial preparations during

the "defense period", September 1939 to December 1941. 1/

The. dollar value of procurement deliveries had been increasing rapidly for a

period of 18 months before the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor (Chart PR-l). During this

curement activity was stimulated further by the Lend-Lease Act which was approved 11 March

1941, nearly nine months before Pearl Harbor. /

Toward the end of 1942 sufficient stocks had been accumulated to permit the invasion of Guadalcanal and North Africa. Shortages of manpower, materials, and plant facilities checked the rate of expansion in 1943 and levels of total procurement reached at

the end of the year were maintained without major change for the remainder of the War.

Wide variations were recorded, however, for the major categories and individual items included in the monthly totals. Some of these changes are shown on the pages that follow.

The rates at which total War Department procurement deliveries increased and decreased between July 1940 and December 1945 are indicated in Table PR-l. The largest

increase from one quarterly period to another was nearly 52 percent between the first and

second quarters of 1942. The increases from the last quarter of 1941 to the first in

1942, and between the second and third quarters of 1942 both exceeded 40 percent. They

were recorded after quarterly increases of 26 to 37 percent had been achieved throughout

1941,

The maximum increase between corresponding quarters of preceding. years. was nearly 300 percent for the War Department as a whole, which occurred between the third quarter

of 1941 and the third quarter of 1942. The largest increase of this type for ASF was. 324

percent.

The major procurement responsibility* of the War Department was divided between

the Army Air Forces and the Army Service Forces. In general the Army Air Forces bought

aircraft and materiel peculiar to Air Force needs while the Army Service Forces bought materiel for ground troops and items used throughout the Army as then constituted, such as

vehicles, rifles, ammunition, clothing, and subsistence.

Army Service Forces

The dollar value of deliveries of materiel procured by the Army Service Forces

and its predecessor agencies from July 1940 through December 1945 was approximately

X73,000,000,000. Ordnance Department deliveries amounted to approximately 4D34,000,000,000

or about 50 percent of the ASF total for the period 1942 through 1945. Dollar value figures for individual technical services and major groups of items are available for this

four year period only. Total value for all services was X69,000,000,000 for this period.

Deliveries to the Quartermaster Corps accounted for about 31 percent of the total value of ASF procurement deliveries The other services together procured about 19

percent of the ASF total value, but many items procured by these services, had relatively

small unit costs. The values of ASF procurement deliveries are summarized by procuring

technical service for the four year period in Chart PR-2, and by quarters in Chart PR-3

and in Table PR-3.

Nearly one-sixth of the total value of ASF procurement was for subsistence or

foodstuffs (Chart PR-5). In fact subsistence accounted for about half the total for all

quartermaster items. The value of ammunition was almost as great as that for. subsistence;

and it was considerably higher than the value of weapons produced to use it. The total

dollar value of trucks was somewhat larger than that for tanks despite the relatively

higher unit cost of tanks.

Wide differences occurred in the rates at which deliveries of individual iems

were expanded and contracted (Tables PR-4 through PR-11). The differences are attributable

to many complex factors which affected different items and item groups in different ways.

Among them were the size of the Army, its organization into units (each type requiring

different kinds of equipment), the physical conditions under which troops fought,the time

required to perfect plans and to convert or produce production facilities and as the war

progressed the growing shortages of manpower and materials.

Among the outstanding individual items, delivered from 1942 through 1945 were

more than 88,000 tanks developed to meet the threat of German Panzer warfare. Although

only small quantaties of tanks were produced before the United States entered into the

war, production mounted sharply thereafter and deliveries reached 25,000 in 1942 and

29,500 in 1943.

Deliveries in 1940 and 1941 consisted largely of light tanks, but in 1942 emphasis was shifted to the production of medium tanks, primarily the M4 "Sherman". For the

entire period, medium tanks accounted for 64.5 percent of the total number of tanks procured. Production of heavy tanks in volume was not achieved until 1945, too late to be

used extensively in actual ighting. Changes in the total numbers of light, heavy, and

medium tanks delivered each year are s±±own in Chart PR-6.

The popular "baooka" (2.36 inch rocket launcher), developed early in the war as

an anti-tank weapon, was not available until 1942 when over 67,000 were delivered. Production of bazookas reached a maldmum in 1944. Deliveries in that year amounted to about

215,000, or~ about 45 percent of the total number delivered during the war.

In addition, the War Department procured more than 3,600,000 trucks and other

non-combat vehicles from July 1940 'through December 1945. Nearly 75 percent of these

were trucks, including 635,000 "jeeps" and 536,000 -ton 6x6 cargo trucks.

Army Air Forces

Army Air Forces procurement deliveries totaled about ~43,50,000,000 or 37 percent of al War Department procurement in the period July 1940 through Augst 1945, as

shown in Table PR-2. Aircraft accounted for nearly 36,000,000,000 or 82.5 percent of the

AAF total.

The AF procured 231,000 airplanes in the six year period 1940 through 1945.

The yearly totals amounted to 5,000 in 1940, nearly 16,000 in 1941, about 4,000 in 1942.

and almost 70,000 in 1943 and in 1944. Of the 231,000 procured approximately 69,000 were

fighters, 69,000 were bombers, and 56,000 were trainers. During the period under review

many new models were developed and produced and specifications for many older models were

frequently modified to improve range, speed or firepower. During this six year period,

the AAF procured nearly 15,700 gliders in addition to the 231,000 airplanes. Troop gliders accounted for 93 percent of all gliders procured. (See Table PR-14 and Table PR-15).

Many of the airplanes procured by the AAF were transferred to the U. S. Navy,

other Federal agencies, or foreign governments. AAF also received some airplanes procured

by the Navy. Factory deliveries of military airplanes for which Army Air Forces was designated as recipient totaled about 160,000 in the period July 1940 through December 1945.

(Table PR-19). These figures are not adjusted to compensate for any subsequent reallocations to other recipients such as the U. S. Navy, other Federal agencies, or Lend-Lease

recipients.

Indexes of Contract Price Changes.

The composite index of War Department contract price changes (based on October

1942 prices) declined from 108.6 in January 1942 to 75.4 in August 1945, a decrease of 31

percent. (See Chart PR-S and Table PR-20).

The AAF index declined from 112.1 for January, 1942 to 64.0 for August, 1945 indicating that original contract prices were reduced, on the average, by more than 40 percent. Some of the reductions were effected by original negotiations with contractors and

by subsequent price renegotiations as provided by the contracts. Part of this large decrease (from original contract.prices) was due to large scale production and economies of

manufacturing which appeared after initial plant reconversions had been accomplished. Reductions in contract prices also reflected the transition from the production of experimental and developmental air equipment to standard items with fixed specifications.

The ASF composite contract price changes index declined from 106.1 in January

1942 to 85.9 in August 1945, a reduction of approximately 19 percent. The factors noted

above for the Air Forces are also responsible for a large measure of the decline in the

index for the ASF. The varied amounts of net decline within the ASF agencies as shown in

the accompanying charts reflect the conditions pertinent to procurement within each of the

technical services.

Items procured by the Transportation Corps, for example, show a net decline in

original prices averaging only about 5 percent inasmuch as such procurennt was mair4y

from established manufacturers and constituted items requiring little change from peacetime specifications. The procurement of Medical Department items, on the other hand, was

in. large part from producers converted to new types and greatly increased volumes of output. The original high unit contract prices were, however,'reduced on the average by

nearly 50 percent during the period as conversion costs were lowered and large volume production was effected.

An exception to the general trend of contract price changes, the index-fcr Quartermaster Corps items was approximately 11 percent higher in August, 1945 than original

contract prices set in January, 1942. Purchases by this agency were largely limited to

civilian-type items produced by established manufacturers who, however, were many times

given permission by the Office of Price Administration to increase their ceiling prices as

a result of "hardship" applications based on increased labor costs.

Cost-Plus-A-Fixed-Fee Supply Contracts.

In the period June 1940 through December 1944, a total of 1,490 war supply contracts of $b10,000,000 or more were awarded by the Army Service Forces and the Army Air

Forces according to reports published by the War Production Board and summarized in Table

PR-21. These contracts had an aggregate value of' $70,526,000,000. Cost-plus-a-fixed-fee
ANALYSIS .13

contracts represented nearly 32 percent of the total numbers of such contracts and 47 percent of their aggregate value. Contracts awarded by the Army Air Forces represented approximately 73.5 percent of all War Department coat-plus-a-fixed-fee contractE shown in

the table, Ordnance Department contracts 26.5 percent and other technical services less

than one-tenth of 1 percent.

The relative numbers of cost-plus-a-fixed-fee contracts declined after June 1942

as contractors and subcontractors gained more experience in war production which enabled

them to make better estimates of costs. This was particularly true of the contracts

awarded by the Ordnance Department.

The figures presented do not provide a basis for estimating the relative importance of contracts of 10,000,OOO or more because many of them were terminated before work

was completed. Moreover, they exaggerate the relative importance of cost-plus contracts

because of the exclusion of the smaller contracts. Data assembled in connection with the

contract terminations program, summarized in Table PR-22 and in the paragraphs that follow, give a better indication of the relative numbers of such contracts and their value

with respect to the total number of contracts awarded,

Contract Te 'inati ons

A total of approximately 135,000.War Department contracts were terminated between January 1943 and October 1948 as shown in Table PR-22. More than half of these contracts were terminated during the month of August 1945, but a considerable amount of time

was required to complete settlement negotiations.

A total of 844 cost-plus-a-fixed-fee contracts were settled during the period.

They represented less than 1 percent of the total *umber of all settlements but their

value totaled $l2,80,00O,QOO or nearly 28 percent of the value of all settlements.

Between January 1943 and October 1948 a total of 134,263 fixed price contracts

were settled. The estimated value of items cancelled by these terminations aggregated

nearly $33,500,000,000. The average value of fixed price contracts terminated and settled

amounted to about $250,000 as compared with an average of about $15,150,000 for the costplus-a-fixed-fee contracts.

EXPLANATORY NOTES

Data in Tables PR-i through PR-l8 pertain to the estimated values and quantities

of major items of equipment and supply procured by the Army Service Forces and the Army

Air Forces. Tables PR-19 through PR-22 cover contract price indexes, cost-plus-a-fixedfee contracts and contract terminations.

The tables include Army Service Forces and Army Air Forces procurement for Army

use and materiel procured by those commands for the U. S. Navy, other United States

Government agencies, and recipients of Lend-Lease. The figures were obtained from the

several sources indicated in footnotes.

Estimated values of Army Service Forces procurement deliveries.

The series of dollar values of Army Service Forces procurement deliveries,

summarized in Tables PR-i and 2 and shown in detail. in Table PR-3 was prepared by ASF to

measure its total procurement of materiel.

The ASF values were used for current comparisons with required production shown

in the basic ASF planning document, the "Army Supply Program". Comparisons were also made

with procurement schedules and forecasts. The series was designed to show relative magnitudes and trends in the physical volume of procurement deliveries. Summaries were furnished the W'ar Production Board and its successor, the Civilian Production Administration.

The figures shown herein have been revised slightly since CPA published its last report.

The estimated values of procurement deliveries are not comparable to fiscal reports of

obligations or expenditures.

Army Service Forces values are classified by major groups of items under the

technical services that had responsibility for procuring them during 1945. The determination of item grouping, generally by major use, was made by each technical service and

approved by the Director of Materiel, Army Service Forces. Items were not transferred between groups without his prior approval. When procurement responsibility tas shifted between technical services, the data were revised to include values for the entire period in

the totals for the technical service assuming responsibility. When procurement responsibility for an item was redelegated to an agency external to Army Service Forces, the value

of all deliveries was deleted entirely from the series.

The ASF procurement values were based on a sample list of end items from each

item group of all technical services. The sample consisted of the major items contained in
EXPLANATORY NOTES 87

"Army Service Forces Monthly Progress Report, Section 1-A, Procurement". For many groups

the sample covered more than 90 percent of the total values. Quantities of the sample

items delivered each month were multiplied by a weighted unit cost for the item to derive

the dollar value of the sample. The unit cost figure for each item was based on the contract or purchase price plus allowances for overhead, the cost of Government-furnished

equipment and materiel and any other costs incurred in connection with the item by the

War Department.

For most items 1945 unit costs were used in computing the dollar value totals

shown in Tables PR-i through PR-3. For items which were not being procured in 1945, but

for which programs had been completed in prior years, the latest available unit cost figures were used.

Completed values of the samples by item groups were converted to total group

values by a "blow-up" procedure using a factor representing the relationship of the sample

to its entire item group. Group totals were summarized to obtain the totals for technical

service which were submitted monthly to Headquarters, ASF.

In addition to the major items of equipment and supply, the ASF values include

miscellaneous and expendable supplies, initial and replenishment spare parts for vehicles.

and equipment, and the value of conversion and modification of motor. vehicles and major

components. Excluded from the series are the values of procurement from foreign sources;

materials and equipment for contract construction of War Department facilities; gasoline,

oils and lubricants; equipment and supplies for Corps of Engineers civil functions; and

signal equipment peculiar to Army Air Forces. This latter group, including airborne radio

and radar equipment, was placed under the procurement responsibility of the AAF early in

1945 and dropped from the ASF values.

The figures for subsistence cover items' procured centrally by the Quartermaster

Corps only. The values shown in Table PR-2 for the period'July 1940 - December 1941 were

estimated on the basis of data on per capita ration allowances, 1942 subsistence deliveries and strength of the Army.

Quantities of maior items rocured by Army Service Forces

Tables PR-4 through PR-ll present data on quantities of some 2,300 major end

items procured in the United States by the technical services of Army Service Forces and

predecessor organizations. In general the tables indicate the quantities of each specified

item received and accepted during the calendar year by the procuring technical service
88 PROCUREMENT

from a vendor, contractor r Government-owned establishment. Each of the technical services developed special specifications which had to be met before an item could be accepted. Practices also varied regarding methods of reporting acceptances. More precise definitions are contained in the footnotes for each technical service.

Criteria used in selecting items for inclusion in the report differed somewhat

from group to group. Because of their importance, all itmes (other than practice type) of

ammunition, bombs, combat vehicles, trucks, railway equipment, and weapons were selected

for inclusion. For other groups, however, only major, items of procurement were selected.

Selections made were based on relatively high unit cost, high dollar value of total procurement, military demand for combat or combat support, presentation of difficult production problems, or wide general interest.

A number of important types of items, including petroleum and petroleum products; coal and other fuels; as well as building and construction materials such as cement, lumber, roofing, and stone are excluded from these tables. Also omitted are practice and dummy types of ammunition, bombs, and weapons; items of recreational equipment;

religious supplies and musical instruments.

Items are classified by the technical service having procurement responsibility.

In order to maintain maximum continuity, the titles of technical services used are those

in effect at the end of 1945 regardless of prior or subsequent name or organization

changes. The tables do not indicate the reorganization of the Army resulting in the formation of the Services of Supply in March 1952, which was later redesignated Army Service

Forces, and the simultaneous placement of the supply services, later called technical

services, under that major command.

In most cases where transfers of procurement responsibility occurred for an item

during the period, deliveries are shown under each technical service during its period of

responsibility. Such transfers are generally indicated by footnote, but in no case are

delivery data duplicated between technical service tables.

Transfers of procurement responsibility for an item to an agency external to ASF

are indicated in tabular footnotes. Quantities of such items procured by ASF are reprted

under the appropriate technical service.

Within each technical service, the classification of items was carried out mainly in accordance with the use of major item groups in ASF Monthly Progress Report, Section

1-A, Procurement. Major deviations are explained in footnotes to individual tables.
EXPLANATORY NOTES 89

The nomenclature used is generally that in official Army use during 1945 or

appearing in official documents and records used as sources and references in preparing

the data. In some cases,. unofficial descriptions of items have been included in addition

to the official nomenclature to aid in identification.

Quantities of items shown are of new materiel. Deliveries are mainly of enditems ready for issue. to using organizations or which could be made ready for issue by the

addition of certain Government-furnished equipment, such as radios and weapons for combat

vehicles. The figures do not include procurement in foreign countries by commanders of

theaters of operations and other overseas commands. Items in whole or in part procured

through United States financing, with Army liaison, of Canadian production are specifically indicated by footnotes.

Estimated values of Army Air Forces procurement deliveries.

Figures on the dollar value of Army Air Forces procurement deliveries shown in

Tables FR-i and PR-2 were compiled by the War Production Board and its successor, the Civilian Production Administration, from basic information supplied by the AAF. They are

published in a Special Release called "The Production Statement, United States War Program, July 1, 1940 - August 31, 1945", issued by the Civilian Production Administration,

May 1, 1947.

The figures represent values of aircraft bnd equipment procured by AAF computed

through the use of standard unit cost weights. They do not represent the value of equipment used by the Air Forces or the Army as a whole and they are not comparable with obligations or expenditures data (which are based on fund responsibility) .I/ Figures are

shown separately for aircraft, signal equipment and other AAF procurement. The aircraft

figures include the values of airframes, engines, and propellors; aircraft other than.

airplanes (such as gliders); airplane spare parts; and other categories including airborne aircraft equipment (exclusive of signal equipment) and experimental research and development.

These figures were computed from monthly deliveries of airframes, engines and

other components rather than completed airplanes. The time lag between the delivery of

components and their installation in new airplanes was ordinarily about two months. Many

components, however, were used in old airplanes.

1/ See WPB "Production Statement. War Programs as of May 1. 19L5", June 23, 1945, p. IV.:

Actual figures shown in this and similar monthly reports were superseded by.those given in

the final report dated May 1, 1947 referred to above.
90 PROCUREMENT

Figures for signal equipment include airborne radio and radar equipment throughout the period, although responsibility for procurement of such items remained with ASF

until 1 April 1945.

Quantities of items procured by Army Air Forces.

Items in the "aircraft" category comprised the bulk of procurement by Army Air

Forces. Tables PR-13 through PR-19 cover the major items in the aircraft classification.

Tables PR-13, PR-l4, PR-15, PR-17, and PR-18 present total procurenmnt data regardless of

prior or subsequent allocation or the distribution made of the items procured. Table PR16 presents airframe weights of airplanes procured by Army Air Forces by month of acceptance. This differs from the dollar value table (PR-2) for which values were reported during the month of acceptance of airframes (and other components) in that the airframe

weight figures are based on the month of acceptance of the complete airplane.

The numbers of airplanes designated for use by Army Air Forces are shown in

Table PR-19. These figures, which differ considerably from the numbers procured by AAF,

indicate the number of airplanes, by type, which were transferred from the factory representative of the procuring agency to a representative of the transporting agency for delivery to the AAF. Although the table generally indicates the total number delivered to

that command from all military airplane procurement, regardless of whether Army or Navy,

it does not contain any adjustments for those airplanes which were later reallocated tc

other recipients.

Indexes of contract price changes.

Figures shown in Table PR-20 for Index of Contract Price Changes, were compiled

from ASF Monthly Progress Report, Section l-D, prepared by the Purchases Division, ASF,

under authority of Memorandum S5-170-43, Headquarters, ASF, dated 23 August l943.

The items included-'in these indexes cover approximately 50 percent of the total

value of War Department procurement. They were selected to be representative of all principal kinds of items purchased. The basic data employed were the contract prices for each

company supplying the item on the selected list. All successive prices in additional contracts or revisions of existing contracts were recorded after necessary adjustments were

made for specification changes. The price data. for all companies supplying a given item

were used to compute an index 'or that item after appropriate weights had been assigned on

the basis of relative importance in terms of physical volume.

For each item the index indicated, for any given month, the weighted average
EXPLANATORY NOTES 91

percent that current.-contract -prices were of original contract prices. For example, an

index of 95 for November, 1942 for Item X; would show that new contracts let during November

for that item were at prices averaging 5 percent less than the prices in effect with the

same contractors during the base month (October 1942)./

Individual item indexes were combined into group indexes and, in turn, into

technical service indexes. These composites were combined into a master Army Service

Forces Index and a similar composite index on Army Air Forces items was added to the Army

Service Forces composite to provide a War Department index.

The indexes do not cover any items produced in government-owned contractor operated plants, or, with the exception of the AAF index, items procured through cost-plus-afixed-fee contracts since such purchases were to a degree noncompetitive and the contract

terms were often such as to cause the prices to be: incomparable with those of procurement

through ordinary commercial channels. Lump sum refunds made by contractors influenced the

effective price for items furnished to the Government. Where such refunds could not be

allocated to specific contracts, their effects are not reflected in the indexes.

Contract Terminations

Data shown on contract terminations were collected by HQ., ASF, and its successors. Instructions for reporting such data appear in Joint Termination Regulations of the

War and Navy Departments, Revision Number 8, Part 9, 1 June 1946.

The initiation date is the date on which the contractor was required to stop

deliveries or performance under the contract or portion of contract being terminated.

Settlement of cost-plus-a-fixed-fee contracts indicate final agreement while settlement

data on fixed-price contracts include settlements with and without claim against the

Government.

The number of terminations initiated and settled include individual terminations

whether of a complete contract or portion of a contract. Values of cost-plus-a-fixed-fee

contracts are estimated costs of items canceled. Values of fixed-price contracts are contract prices of items canceled. All data are net figures after adjustment for transfer,

revision, or rescission of terminations in prior periods.

Data are classified by contracting services operating during the major part of

the war period since they are easily identified with presently existing organizations.

2Thearbitrary coice of October, 1942 as the ase month coincided with the date that

the price change indexes were established and was also the month when the Department of

Labor wholesale price index registered 100.
92 PROCUREMENT

Though the U. S. Air Force was created in 1947 it did not assume contract termination responsibility -until November 1948 under the provisions of Joint Army and Air Force Regulations, Number 1-11-51, 10 November 1948.
