4.3 Sustainment.

When a failure occurs to a SEWIP Block 3 EA subsystem in contractor’s possession, the contractor shall conduct root cause analysis and provide resolution recommendations. Implementation of a resolution recommendation may include a proposal for additional scope and funding. No software modification shall occur prior to execution of a bilateral contract modification explicitly identifying the software modification scope.

4.3.1 Failure Reporting, Analysis, and Corrective Action System (FRACAS) and Reliability Growth Program.

The contractor shall utilize the existing Navy approved GFI SEWIP Block 3 EA subsystem Failure Reporting, Analysis and Corrective Action System (FRACAS) process to determine and document failures, root cause and, as funded, corrective actions taken for failures. For failures that occur to items in the contractor’s possession, the contractor shall report the information in FRACAS. For failures that occur to items not in the contractor’s possession, the contractor shall support the Government by inputting Government furnished information into FRACAS. FRACAS efforts shall cover failures during System integration, test, installation, pre-System Operational Verification Test (SOVT), SOVT, and initial operational deployment of the SEWIP Block 3 EA subsystem. Failure reporting categories shall include primary, multiple, or pattern (trend) failures. The FRACAS program shall use MIL-HDBK-2155, “Failure Reporting, Analysis and Corrective Action Taken,” as a guide.

The Contractor shall support the Government by reporting Government information on failures in fielded systems for trends. Trends are defined as three failures with the same failure mode cause. The Contractor shall assess the failure data for the identification of trends and identify those trends in the Failure Summary and Analysis Report (CDRL A010). In each Failure Summary and Analysis Report, the Contractor shall ensure that the root cause is identified and, as funded, the remedial actions taken (including parts replaced) are addressed.

The Contractor shall utilize a Failure Review Board (FRB) to review failure trends, corrective action status, and, for items in the contractor’s possession, to ensure adequate corrective actions are taken. The FRB shall assess failure scoring for impacts such as Mission Ending, Degraded Capability (work around exists or can fix later), Minor Failure, Discrepancy No Mission Impact Root cause analysis, recommend corrective action, or implementation strategy. The personnel appointed by the Contractor to act on the FRB shall be identified in the FRACAS procedures and the scope of their authority shall be identified. The FRB shall require failure investigations and analyses and, when funded and authorized ensure implementation of corrective actions. Failure fixes and FRB results shall be utilized as inputs to update Reliability Growth Curves.

Reliability growth will be assessed for items in contractor’s possession IAW GFI document number B06400h001647, Reliability Development Growth Test Procedures, revision A dated 16 December 2019. Reliability growth will be assessed based on equipment operational time and those failures assessed during the FRACAS program categorized as relevant and chargeable failures. Scoring conferences will be held to include both Contractor and Government, and both will be a voting member at the scoring conferences throughout the contracted period of performance. The Government may appoint a representative to the FRB as an observer.

Use of Failure Analysis and Corrective Action Records (FACAR) shall be IAW GFI document number B06500h001647, EDM Failure Analysis and Corrective Action Report (FACAR), revision K dated 29 January 2020.

Reporting of Software Problem Reports shall be IAW GFI document DI-WXM-029_REV_D_PROCEDURE FOR PROGRAM TROUBLE REPORT (PTRS) PROCESSING. The Contractor shall notify the Government within 24 working hours of any critical failure (i.e., one that prevents the system from performing its mission) for items in contractor’s possession. The Contractor shall notify the Government of all non-critical failures within 10 working days of the occurrence for items in contractor’s possession. For items not in contractor’s possession, the Government shall furnish the contractor with sufficient information to populate the necessary reports. The Contractor shall notify the Government by submission of a separate Failure Analysis and Corrective Action Report (FACAR) (CDRL A011) for each failure event. The Contractor shall also prepare and deliver a quarterly Failure Summary and Analysis Report (CDRL A010) to the Government identifying any failure affecting cost, schedule, producibility, and cost of ownership or interface/performance. This report is a summary of all FACARs submitted since the last summary report.

The Contractor shall identify system operational hours for each failure occurrence and include it in the FRACAS data structure. System operation hours shall be 1) estimated by the contractor’s integration and test team for events occurring prior to delivery and 2) Government provided information for operating time post-delivery.

The Contractor shall maintain a FRACAS database that shall include all applicable failure scoring and hours of testing completed at time of failure to support the FRB and reliability growth assessment and reporting. Reliability growth assessments shall be completed and provided as part of the Failure Summary and Analysis Report (CDRL A010).

4.4 Configuration Management

The contractor shall support the Government’s maintenance of a Configuration Management (CM) program according to the approved GFI SEWIP BLOCK 3 CM Plan using MIL-HDBK-61 and ANSI/EIA-649 as guides.
