Reliability Review

The Contractor shall identify and discuss all aspects of the NII X-Ray Vehicle’s reliability features and characteristics, or how the system is designed to improve reliability.

Operational Availability

An average Operational Availability (Ao) by unit shall be calculated using data for Repair Work Orders (WOs) completed during the reporting period:

AO (100 x) Total Hours by Unit – Downtime Hours by Unit Total Hours by Unit

Operational Availability is defined as the percentage of time during the reporting period that a specific unit type listed in individual task orders is available to support the operations for which it was designed. Systems undergoing Preventive Maintenance actions are considered to be available to support operations under this definition. The following lists the standard Ao targets for equipment types by location category:

95% - Large Scale Equipment in Continental United States (CONUS) locations

90% - Large Scale Equipment in Outside Continental United States (OCONUS) locations

Customer Wait Time (CWT)

The Contractor shall restore systems reported in a non-operational status to a satisfactory operational status within the CWT corresponding to the Ao’s above.

Work Orders (WOs) for work performed under on-demand (other maintenance support services) and WOs with customer delays are excluded from all the formulas above.

The Contractor shall comply with all applicable State and Federal regulations.

Service Calls and Work Orders

Work Completion Form (WCF) - The WCF is a form unique to a specific maintenance event. The WCF is typically the standard Vendor’s Work Form, but shall include the WO number assigned by the Government; a description of the maintenance action performed; identify the failure cause/part or symptom; a list of replaced parts; any additional work performed not covered under the initial work order; and name and email address of the CBP representative that verified completion and completion date/time.

The Vendor shall forward the completed WCF and maintenance documentation (if applicable) to the NII Maintenance Center via email at the completion of the maintenance action. If requested, the Vendor shall also provide one (1) copy of the completed WCF to the site CBP representative for their local records.

The Vendor shall e-mail a copy of the WCF to the site supervisor and the NII Maintenance Dispatch Center (MDC) within 24 hours of completion of each required site visit.

Conditional but Operational Status - There may be circumstances that allow the system to be restored to a ‘conditional but operational’ status (Priority 2 work order) prior to reaching full ‘operational’ (Priority 3 work order) status. The conditional but operational’ status applies when a deficiency exists, but the system is available to support the operations for which it was designed, to include safety considerations. The Contractor may restore systems reported in a ‘non-operational’ (Priority 1 work order) status to a classification of a ‘conditional but operational’ (Priority 2 work order) status as determined by CBP, coordinated by the NII Maintenance Dispatch Center or by a Government maintenance manager.

The Contractor shall restore systems in a ‘conditional but operational’ (Priority 2) work order status into an ‘operational’ (Priority 3) work order status within 5 business days.

Work Site Cleanliness – The Contractor will properly dispose of all damaged parts;

components; assemblies; subassemblies; consumables; fluids, and lubricants, unless otherwise directed to retain for failure item analysis or other reasons. The Contractor will remove all work-related used parts, waste, and debris from the CBP site upon job completion, unless directed otherwise.

3.6 Preventive Maintenance during the Warranty Period

The warranty (see section 4.1) shall include all Preventive Maintenance (PM) actions required and is defined as any scheduled and planned maintenance actions performed to maintain the target Operational Availability (Ao) and maintenance metrics as defined herein. Preventive Maintenance includes periodic inspections, calibration, oil change, filter replacement, wiper blades, tires, condition monitoring, critical item replacement, and vehicle/chassis and system servicing requirements.

Necessary repair actions discovered during the performance of a preventive maintenance action require separate corrective WOs from the CBP Maintenance Dispatch Center. To the widest extent possible, all preventive maintenance shall be scheduled around the CBP location operational activities to prevent disruption to daily operations. These decisions will be coordinated with the Contractor based on the direction of the Government, to include the ILD staff, CBP Operations, and/or the COR. Preventive Maintenance activities shall be considered fluid and maybe adjusted throughout the life of the contract based on evidence from corrective actions.

NII Monthly Preventive Maintenance Schedule – The Contractor shall provide a schedule every month coordinated with ILD Logistics of planned preventive maintenance actions that has been coordinated with CBP location Official organized by equipment model, equipment serial number, location, estimated duration of the visit, and planned date of the preventative maintenance visit.

3.7 Corrective Maintenance during the Warranty Period

The warranty (see section 4.1) shall include all Corrective Maintenance actions required and is defined as any maintenance and sustainment activity, which is required to diagnose, correct equipment malfunctions, failures, and outages that occurred or is in the process of occurring.

This may consist of repair, restoration, or replacement of components, Desktop/Workstation support that includes password resets, application support, staff access support, and all other Desktop support that might be needed. Corrective Maintenance is an unscheduled maintenance activity caused by a unit or component failure and includes tests, measurements, and adjustments.

The Contractor shall contact site and attempt to troubleshoot each problem telephonically. If unable to meet the Customer Wait Time (CWT) as established in the metrics corresponding with the target Ao, the Contractor shall provide the justification, and a time estimate for effecting repairs to the ILD Maintenance Dispatch Center (MDC). The Contractor shall notify the ILD MDC and provide the date and time of System Operational Status changes, Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) for parts, and Contractor Technician scheduled arrival at site. The Contractor must ensure that a minimum update must be made every 24 hours to the MDC on outages that have brought the system unusable.

Cost-Wise Readiness (CWR)

CBP Cost-Wise Readiness (CWR) Directive 5225-03 focuses on optimizing the performance of system and support services and establishing efficiency initiatives to minimize investment and sustainment costs while achieving capability and availability (readiness) outcomes. Mandatory CWR metrics to be reported include a CWR Key Performance Measurement (KPM) for readiness (materiel availability), a CWR KPM for materiel ownership costs, a CWR Key Performance Attribute (KPA) for materiel reliability, and a CWR KPA for supply chain materiel mean downtime, along with an assessment of resource-to-outcome sensitivities (best application of resources to achieve/sustain CWR outcomes). Representative KPM and KPA definitions are in Section 5 of CWR Directive 5225-03.

Accordingly, the Contractor shall deliver and sustain the system and/or a subsystems that meet the readiness requirements for materiel availability, the reliability requirement, and the mean downtime requirement that provides the best Total Ownership Cost. The Contractor is encouraged to conduct and report an analytical assessment that offers, for government consideration, an alternative balanced solution of optimum reliability and sustainment cycle time KPAs that result in minimal life cycle costs.

3.7.1.1 Cost-Wise Readiness Requirements

The following are minimum requirements for system and/or key subsystem(s) readiness drivers:

CWR METRIC ACRONYM CWR

REQUIREMENT

Mean Time Between Failure MR = MTBF > 1,000 Hours

Mean Downtime MDT < 24 Hours

3.7.1.2 Key Performance Attributes (KPAs)

3.7.1.2.1 Materiel Reliability (MR) = MTBF

Materiel Reliability (MR) is a measure of the probability that systems and/or key subsystems will perform without failure over a specific interval. MR must be sufficient to support the capability needed for the mission. MR is generally expressed in terms of a Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF), and once operational can be measured by dividing actual operating hours by the number of failures experienced during a specific interval.

MR may initially be expressed as a desired failure-free interval that can be converted to MTBF for use as a KPA. Specific criteria for defining operating hours and failure criteria must be provided together with the KPA.

The CWR Materiel Reliability KPA as defined for the system and/or key subsystems shall be greater than or equal to 1000 hours mean time between failure.

Materiel Reliability (MR) = MTBF = Total Operating Hours Total Number of Failures

3.7.1.2.2 Mean Downtime (MDT)

Mean Downtime (MDT) is the average total downtime required to restore a system and/or key subsystems to their full operational capabilities. MDT includes the time from reporting of a system and/or key subsystems being down to the system and key subsystems being given back to operations for use. MDT includes administrative time of reporting, logistics and materiel’s procurement, and lockout/tag out of equipment, etc. for repair.

The CWR Materiel Mean Downtime KPA as defined for the system and/or key subsystems shall be less than or equal to 24 hours.

Mean Downtime = MDT = Total Downtime for All Failures Total Number of Failures
