The specific functions to be performed for planning the kits include:

Use an automated inventory management system that can effectively control kit material for more than one ship and be responsive to short-term schedule demands.

Develop an overall Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M) that coordinates key events/activities of all participants and ensures timely delivery of kits to meet schedules for each availability.

Evaluate and propose to the Government bulk purchase items to support delivery schedule and cost savings.

Receive material and provide storage for all material to be kitted and any kits awaiting shipment.

Assemble, package, and identify kitted material to a particular ship. Ensure that all kitted material is in appropriate containers for shipment to the maintenance contractor or NSA in accordance with MIL-STD-2073-1E(1).

Prepare kits for shipment to the installing activity in accordance with MIL-STD-2073-1E(1). Upon arrival of the kit(s) at the installing activity and as requested, with the NSA representative and Technical Activity, unpack and inventory kit(s) to ensure all items are received and in installable condition.

Establish a material release control program to ensure that no kit will be released without specific direction from the SPM.

Collect and analyze complete and accurate actual material usage data on all material provided by the Planning Yard to the maintenance activity to accomplish work items. Include materials that had to be ordered after start of the availability. Include the information in future planning for the same repair/ Ship Change items in other ships.

Upon completion of the maintenance, review the unused material for possible use in the future kit(s).

Analyze total amount of unused materials. Unused materials should not exceed 5 percent (quantity) of the material ordered in support of any maintenance availability. Provide feedback analysis to improve planning for future maintenance.

Act as the receiving, stowage, coordinating, and shipping point for repair kits.

Provide Level of Effort (LOE) type support to the material provisioning/kitting process to ensure the most cost/schedule effective means of assembling and shipping material required for a given availability. LOE activities include but are not limited to warehouse supervision, material handling and transportation, kit packaging, and crate construction, and quality assurance.

Effort 7: Monitor Material Status

Monitor the procurement and shipping status of material provided by the Planning Yard until turned over to the NSA, RMC, or designated government recipient.

Contact material sponsor(s) and other sources to obtain updated material availability status.

Include material status (A032/OT-17-XXXXX) and potential work-arounds in applicable Availability Analyses to include but not limited to material required to comply with Bid Specifications, MRCs, and MIPs. Where substitute material has been authorized include documentation allowing substitution and, if applicable, a certificate of identicality.

Effort 8: Provide ILS Management Support

Coordinate the management and identification of Planned Maintenance System (PMS) Data, "push" material, formal training and any other pertinent ILS elements.

For OCONUS availabilities, identify, assemble and package as necessary for transoceanic shipment, logistic support requirements for each maintenance availability. Packaging requirements include consideration for proper customs clearance.

Produce reports to support the Program Office’s Availability Planning Baseline Meetings, and other meetings to monitor completion for availabilities as tasked by the SPM.

Effort 9: Provide Technical Liaison Services

Provide liaison services between the Ship Production Manager and other Navy activities.

Provide technical and administrative support to track the review and approval of appropriate technical documentation. (i.e., receipt, coordination, distribution, routing and suspense of technical documentation and correspondence).

Review Completion Reports for status of maintenance packages, growth and emergent work, and lessons learned. Analyze data and recommend changes to Class Maintenance Plan (CMP), Ship Change estimates, Material Ordering Guide (MOGs), and associated availability planning. During Fleet Support and Planning Yard Review meetings, be prepared to present lessons learned and to discuss growth and emergent work experienced during availabilities, and any other relevant information as stated in the meeting agenda.

Effort 10: Develop and Analyze Availability Work Packages (A016/DI-MISC-80711A)

For each scheduled availability (PMAV, CMAV, CNO Availability), the contractor shall analyze the planned availability work package and report to the Government:

Minimum time required for the known work package, including testing and trials. Recommendations for shift work, prefabrication, or other reasonable means of meeting the availability schedule or minimizing time requirements. Recommend change in availability length, either shorter or longer, if supported by the analysis.

Day-to-day manpower loading graphs, by major trade, and total loading, with assessment of ability of potential executing shipyards to provide the required work force.

Status of supporting documentation as of the issue date of the analysis.

Planning yard or other technical assistance available to the installing activity.

Required concurrent work items.

Effort 11: Update the Class Maintenance Plan (CMP) Continuously monitor the Class Maintenance Plan (CMP) ensuring LCS Class unique maintenance requirements are identified based on on-going reliability and maintainability engineering effort and other engineering feedback. The contractor shall account for the Life Cycle Sustainment Plan (LCSP) and the sustainment key performance metrics.

Support the NAVSEA CMP Functional Design Team, as required, to define CMP functional interface with other databases, i.e. Configuration Data Manager Database-Open Architecture (CDMD-OA), Maintenance Resource Manager System (MRMS) etc.

Generate CMP and LCSP change requests based upon review and analysis of feedback information received from the Port Engineers and analysis of Maintenance Figure of Merit (MFOM) and 3M data.

Effort 12: Provide Engineering, Technical and Logistic Support

The contractor shall perform the following efforts:

Develop estimates to support special studies and emergent requirements.

Maintain Failure Reporting, Analysis, Collection and Corrective Action System (FRACAS), MIL-STD-2155, DCACA, MIL-STD-78, of system an equipment problems in each ship and ship class.

Recommend technical priority for un-prioritized Ship Changes.

Recommend changes in priorities of previously prioritized Ship Changes.

Identify interrelated, conjunctive, or prerequisite alterations, and ensure they are coordinated and scheduled accordingly.

Identify across-the-Class alterations.

The Contractor shall support Lessons Learned and Hot Wash meetings by providing suitable Program Management, technical and logistical representatives at the meetings.

The latest revision of reference documents in effect at the time of execution of the contract or any of its options shall govern when cited in an effort, unless the effort specifically states otherwise.

Effort 13: Pre-Availability Scoping Sessions

The contractor shall support Government scoping sessions for the installing activity, after contract award. Scoping sessions will encompass all maintenance activities to ensure that the executing and planning activities are coordinated on and understand the work scope, size, complexity, cost, and task integration of the work; the impact of that work on other planned tasks; and its effects on timely completion of the availability.
