# RPPOB: Replenishment Parts Purchase or Borrow

DoD Manual **4140.01 (PDF)** Volume 9 allows contractors to buy or borrow part-numbered items to reverse engineer at their own expense. Contractors interested in the RPPOB Program can submit their **DLA Aviation Managed Part Request **** and we will get back to you in a timely manner.

**For *repeat customers*, please refer to the Resources below to access the Part Catalog and any service you need.**

The contractor will physically examine the item; produce drawings and specifications through technical analysis performed during the reverse engineering process, and provide same for review. The contractor and the Government agree when the borrowed part will be returned or a Source Approval Request (SAR) package will be provided to the Government. Domestic business concerns with a current Enhanced JCP Certification may purchase, borrow, or view replenishment parts for the following purposes:
                            - Design replication, product improvement or modification, and alternate sourcing through product identification or reverse engineering practices;
                            - Development of data packages required to obtain approval to sell like parts to the government; and,
                            - Enhancement of competition with resultant cost reduction by obtaining alternative sources of supply and manufacturing.

NOTE: The Online Parts Catalog linked below has been upgraded to a dynamic database search. See the new database by clicking the hyperlink to search for items based on NSN, FSC, NIIN, Part Number, CAGE, Name, Platform, or Service. For questions or issues concerning this change, email us at: **** dscr.boc@dla.mil.**
