Absent punctuation[edit]

This article is poorly written. Technicalities all over it, very long sentences with no commas in them, 'complexibility' isn't even a word. I now only have a vary vague idea of what TPP is, and sincerely feel dumber after having read this page.

TPP is a method of procuring at the outset of the acquisition phase under a single contract containing price performance and schedule commitments the maximum practical amount of design development production and support needed to introduce and sustain a system or component in the inventory.

Seriously? TPP is a method of procuring WHAT? What's the direct object? Is everything a subordinate clause? Help! 79.16.214.222 (talk) 20:54, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Public domain info[edit]

Note that the info from the GAO is in the public domain. Some info is verbatim and is cited. The Dissident Aggressor 17:45, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Jargon[edit]

"Discouraging contractors from buying in on the design and development effort with the intention of recovering on the subsequent production program" This sentence is jargon as I do not understand what "buying in" means and I am an aerospace engineer. @DissidentAggressor maybe you can clarify ?
