Verbatim compliance means performing required tasks word-for-word in accordance with contract requirements. The aerospace industry is the birthplace for verbatim compliance due to the severe ramifications of nonconforming products, escapes and failures. According to the Aerospace Industries Association (AIA) the U.S. aerospace and defense industry fueled the following contributions to the U.S. economy:

• Supported 1.7 million jobs within businesses producing end-user goods and services and within the industry’s supply chain, with about 531,000 jobs in the industry’s commercial aerospace segment (e.g. civil and general aviation aircraft, helicopters and space systems) and 511,000 jobs in the defense and national security segment of the industry (e.g. military aircraft, ground and sea systems, armaments and space systems).



• Generated $300 billion in economic value, representing 1.8 percent of total nominal Gross Domestic Product in the U.S., and 10 percent of manufacturing output.



• Produced labor income approximately 44 percent above the national average – $93,000 average labor income per job – reflecting the highly skilled nature of the workforce.

Verbatim compliance is not something to be taken lightly. The consequences to the public, private and the Warfighter is immeasurable and priority number one along with safety.
