Industrial Base Extension (IBex) Program Capability and Capacity Determination Support
for Medical Devices. IBex was developed to support DOD operations in remote or hostile
environments where little or no commercial capability information is known or exists.
Bolstering DLA’s ability to rapidly respond to shifting worldwide events, IBex’s strategic
partnerships with industry experts allows government planners to leverage the expertise of
the commercial sector, and to gain access to those commercial capabilities if required.
Moreover, through IBex’s partnerships with industry and its Market Research reports, the
program provides industrial base awareness over assets that can be utilized during a
contingency or national emergency.
This report will provide in-depth information on local production capacity for select
medical devices for the following TAA-compliant countries: • Australia • Japan • South
Korea • Taiwan
