Technical Support & Alternate Parts
DCS provides technical support for defense-part requirements when an original component is obsolete, discontinued, or otherwise unavailable. We work with government customers to identify potential alternate parts that may satisfy the requirement.
When a potential alternate is identified, DCS provides the alternate part number and available supporting technical information for customer review and approval. Alternate parts are not represented as approved substitutes until acceptance has been provided by the appropriate customer authority.
Alternate-Part Support
Obsolescence and diminishing sources of supply can create challenges in maintaining military systems and equipment. DCS supports customers by researching available alternatives and providing information needed to evaluate a potential replacement.
Our objective is to help maintain continuity of supply while ensuring that alternate-part decisions remain subject to the customer's applicable technical and contractual approval requirements.
