PROVISIONING REQUIREMENTS INTRODUCTION

This section provides requirements/specifications for Contractor’s use in submitting Provisioning Data Products and participating in the provisioning process with the Government.

1. Prime Provisioning Activity. The Prime Provisioning Activity (PPA) is the NAVSEA Engineering Activity designated as the Technical Support Activity (TSA). The PPA/TSA will be the Government Activity that is listed on the Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL) for delivery of the LMI Data Products for DID DI-SESS-81758A. The PPA may be re-negotiated at the PGC. The PPA (Address and Zip Code):

Commander NSWC Carderock Division (Code 94512) Building 4 Philadelphia, PA 19112-5083

2. Correspondence. Address all correspondence, Provisioning Data Products, Engineering Data for Provisioning (EDFP) documentation, etc., pertaining to spare/repair parts provisioning and related data items to the PPA.

3. Conferences. The requirements for provisioning related conferences will be determine at the PGC or by the PPA. The PGC is / is not required.

4. Sample Article. A sample article of the component/end item is required / is not required at the provisioning conference. A sample article of the component/end item will be viewed / disassembled at the provisioning conference.

5. Incremental Submission. Incremental submission concentrates provisioning efforts on portions of the system which are considered design stable. By authorizing incremental submission, the Provisioning Data Products for the stable aspects of the system can be processed while waiting for the remainder of the system to mature. Incremental submission of Provisioning Data Products is / is not authorized. This will be determined at the PGC.

6. Special Tools and Test Equipment. STTE will / will not be included in the Provisioning Data Products.

7. Vendors/Subcontractors. When the prime contractor buys end articles or a portion thereof from a vendor/subcontractor, the prime contractor shall impose this specification upon its vendors/subcontractors. The inclusion of the requirement for such data on contractor’s subcontracts/purchase orders to its vendor/subcontractors does not relieve the prime contractor of its obligation to insure timely delivery of the required Provisioning Data Products and EDFP.

8. Ordering of Spare/Repair Parts. The Government will use provisioned Item Order (PIO) if the Government elects to procure spares/repair parts from the prime contractor. The Government reserves the right to place additional orders for spare/repair parts during the life of the contract. PIOs will be placed directly with vendors if it is determined that such purchase will reduce acquisition costs without compromising the integrity of the system in which the parts are to be used.

9. Delivery of Spare/Repair Parts. Spare/repair parts shall be delivered in accordance with the delivery schedule provided in the PIO unless specified otherwise. The delivery schedule provided to the contractor in the PIO will become the definite/firm schedule unless the contractor takes exception and provides an alternative delivery schedule with which the government agrees within 60 calendar days from receipt of the PIO.

10. Interim Support Items. The requirement for Interim Support Items is a contract option that the Government may exercise at any time during the life of contract. The Interim Supply Support (ISS) process will be discussed at the PGC.

11. Interim Release. Interim release should be employed when there are spares required that take longer to manufacture than the time available in the normal provisioning process. By requiring the use of interim release, the contractor shall prepare a listing of items which fall into this category. These items comprise the Long Lead Time Items List (LLTIL). Interim Release is /is not required.

12. Provisioning Performance Schedule. The Provisioning Performance Schedule (PPS) is used to consolidate all provisioning-related requirements of the contract into a time-sequenced format. If required, the contractor shall complete the PPS and submit it as part of their offer. The schedule shall be finalized at the PGC. The Provisioning Performance Schedule is / is not required.
