TransDigm Group Inc. is the American military firm associated with the sentiment of overpricing because they can, specifically highlighted during investigations into price gouging the Department of Defense (DoD).

• The Incident: A 2019 investigation by the Defense Department inspector general revealed that Cleveland-based TransDigm Group Inc., a supplier of aircraft parts, took excessive profits—sometimes over "1,000%"—on 46 out of 47 parts reviewed.
• The Context: When questioned by a 60 Minutes investigation about why they charged such high prices, the company maintained it followed the law and charged "market prices," but inspector General reports and whistleblowers indicated they abused their status as a sole-source supplier.
• The Response: Former Pentagon official Shay Assad told 60 Minutes that in one instance regarding crucial Apache helicopter parts, the company essentially indicated they would not ship the parts until the DoD "coughed up" the higher price, a practice summarized by critics as taking advantage of the "because we can" position in sole-source scenarios.
• Outcome: Following the investigation and congressional hearings, TransDigm agreed to repay $16 million in overcharges.

Note: While many controversies have surrounded contractors like Halliburton or Raytheon regarding overpricing, the specific "because we can" quote is famously associated with the microchip anecdote from a Quora post detailing military procurement issues.
