Is it true that in military usage, military grade means meeting bare-minimum durability requirements at the lowest cost?

Yes. A Wikipedia reference states that items actually issued by militaries are often procured for cost-effectiveness and may not be of the highest quality and reliability, which supports the claim that military grade denotes bare-minimum durability at lowest cost.
