Fits and functions in the same way as the item it replaces (interchangeable, substitutable) and may include components that are of different materials than the replaced components, but do not affect fit or function (interchangeable, substitutable). Replacement, repair, service or maintenance of the item is exactly the same as the item it replaces.

Fit: the ability of an item to physically interface or interconnect with or become an integral part of another item. Item goes onto, into or attached, to the equipment exactly as the item it replaces.

No difference in mounting, interface or operation between replaced and replacing parts. There is an exact fit match.

Function: the action or actions that an item is designed to perform. Item operates exactly as the item it replaces, with no functional difference between the old, replaced item and the new, replacing item. When appropriate, the replacing item shall be inspected, replaced, repaired or otherwise maintained in exactly the same method as the item it replaces.

This maintenance supportability analysis shall be incorporated into the Maintenance Analysis (C.5.2.1).

C.5.2.1 Maintenance Analysis. The contractor shall analyze the operational, maintenance and support functions of the system in the identification of required operator and maintenance tasks.

Maintenance of the LCRTF shall be driven by the Army’s two level maintenance concepts: Field and Sustainment. The analysis shall be delivered IAW CDRL A022-Logistics Product Data- Maintenance Analysis and shall identify maintenance functions, levels of maintenance, manpower, spare parts and the support equipment required. NOTE: Maintenance tasks shall be designated to the appropriate Level of Maintenance in accordance with AR 750-1. The analysis shall determine maintenance requirements, including all Preventative Maintenance Checks and Services (PMCS), based on: (1) identification of components which are critical in terms of mission and operating system; (2) components whose functional failure will not be evident to the operator; (3) economical and/or operational consequences of failure; and (4) when scheduled maintenance can prevent failures. The Maintenance Analysis shall be documented in end item hardware breakdown sequence (top-down breakdown), Logistics Control Number (LCN) in accordance with GEIA-STD-0007, Performance Specification, Logistics Management Information (LMI ). The Maintenance Analysis Summary shall be prepared and delivered in accordance with Attachment 0006 LMI Summary Worksheet: Maintenance Analysis and CDRL A022-Logistics Product Data-Maintenance Analysis.

The list shall identify all special tools, special Test, Measurement, and Diagnostic Equipment (TMDE) and all common tools not contained in the units authorized Component Listings (CL) from the U.S. Army Supply Catalog (SC). Maximum use of common tools, support equipment, and TMDE normally organic to the user is required.

TMDE normally organic to the Army can be found in the Preferred Item List (PIL) hosted on PD-TMDE’s website within the TMDE Register (https://pd-tmde.us.army.mil/TEMOD_Home/TEMOD_Public.html). The Contractor shall deliver an STTE List in accordance with CDRL A023-Special Equipment Tools and Test Equipment-STTE List.

C.5.2.3.1 Special Tools. The elimination of special tools shall be a primary objective in system development. A special tool is a tool designed to perform a specific task for use on a specific end item or a specific component of an end item. It is authorized by the Repair Parts and Special Tools List (RPSTL) located within that end item’s Technical Manual TM. Special tools differ from common tools, which are used on multiple end items and are found in a set, kit, or outfit as authorized by a supply catalog. As part of the IPS process, planning for special tools must begin in the development phase and continue after deployment of all weapon systems to help reduce the logistics footprint.

The following paragraphs are included to clarify special tools for Army use. Special tools are not identified in the units authorized CL from the Sets, Kits, and Outfits (SKO) SC. Special tools include:

a. Fabricated tools that are made from stocked items of bulk material, such as metal bars, sheets, rods, rope, lengths of chain, hasps, fasteners, and so forth. Fabricated tools are drawing number controlled and documented by LCNs in RPSTLs and located in TMs as appendices. Fabricated tools are used on a single end item.

b. Tools that are supplied for military applications only (e.g., a cannon tube artillery bore brush) or tools having great military use but having little commercial application.

c. Tools designed to perform a specific task for use on a specific end item or on a specific component of an end item and not available in the common tool load that supports the end item/unit (e.g., a spanner wrench used on a specific Ford engine model and on another engine in the Army inventory).

NOTE: Department of the Army Pamphlet (DA PAM) 700-60 provides regulatory guidance on Sets, Kits and Outfits. It may be obtained at:
