Interim Contractor Support (ICS) includes the burdened cost of contract labor, material, and assets used in providing temporary logistics support to a weapon system, subsystem, and associated support equipment. The purpose of ICS is to provide total or partial logistics support until a government maintenance capability is developed. [1] Contractor Logistics Support (CLS) is when […]

Government Furnished Property (GFP) (FAR Part 45) is equipment/property owned by the government and delivered to or made available to a contractor. GFE is normally specified in a Request for Proposal (RFP) or contract. GFE is usually determined by the government Program Manager (PM) and Contracting Officer. Definition: Government Furnished Property (GFP) is the property in

Integrated Product Support (IPS), which used to be integrated logistics support (ILS), is a unified and iterative approach to the management and technical activities needed to influence operational and material requirements and design specifications for logistics support. Definition: Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) is the management and technical process through which supportability and logistic support considerations

Future Logistics Enterprise (FLE) is a DoD’s vision to accelerate logistics improvement, enhance support to the warfighter, and align logistics processes with the operational demands of the 21st century. The primary objective of the FLE is to ensure consistent, reliable support that meets warfighter requirements through enterprise integration and end-to-end customer service. The FLE builds

Flexible Sustainment (FS) is a concept that provides procedural freedom to optimize Life-Cycle Costs (LCC) through tradeoffs that are accomplished either during initial or follow-on acquisition. FS is a process that encourages the Program Manager (PM) to use performance-based specifications and to develop innovative, cost-effective, life cycle solutions. The principal elements of FS are Reliability-Based Logistics

Depot-Level (D-Level) Maintenance is performed on materiel requiring major overhaul or a complete rebuild of parts, assemblies, subassemblies, and end items, including the manufacture of parts, modification, testing, and reclamation, as required. It supports organizational and intermediate maintenance activities by more extensive shop facilities and personnel of higher technical skill than are normally available at

A Program Manager (PM) should analytically determine the most effective levels of maintenance and sources based on materiel availability and cost factors. Policy requires (10 U.S.C. 2464) organic core maintenance capabilities are in place to provide effective and timely response to surge demands and to ensure cost efficiency and technical competence. In addition, core sustaining

Core Capability Planning and Analysis is a methodology that extends to all weapon systems and equipment operated by each DoD Component for determining core logistics requirements.  It’s used to determine essential depot maintenance capability requirements and the workloads needed to sustain those capabilities. It’s also used in developing the Maintenance & Sustainment Strategy. A few
