5.1.4 Option D - Government advisor in parts selection . The Government acts as an advisor in the parts management program by making it mandatory for the contractor to seek Government advice on parts selected for the design and manufacture of the product. See figure 4.
FIGURE 4. Option D - Government advisor in parts selection. The following procedures are for use for successful implementation of option D:
a. The contractor should respond to RFPs by describing methods to reduce life cycles costs achieve GIDEP participation, achieve parts standardization to minimize parts proliferation, and prevent DMS cases.
b. The AA monitors success of the program through contract language and scheduled periodic program reviews and interfaces with IPTs to assess the accomplishment of parts management goals and objectives and to discuss and resolve part problem areas/issues.
c. The RFP and/or SOW should specify the baseline parts selection list for the program or contract.
Parts on this list are standard and approved. This list may be the GFBs (electrical and/or mechanical), approved corporate baseline, and/or a list of pre -approved parts provided by the AA. The MPCAG will provide access to the GFBs to the contractor for part selection assistance.
d. All selected parts and parts data should be submitted for AA, AA's agent, and/or MPCAG review and recommendation in accordance with the CDRL. Use of other than the Government recommended part should be resolved by the contractor prior to design application. The resolution should be documented, retained, and made available to the AA upon request. MPCASS is the preferred method of submitting the part evaluation requests to the MPCAG.
e. The contract may require the contractor to establish a PCB, or the contractor may elect to do so. f. The SOW should have a task and a data item to deliver an as-built parts list to the AA and the
MPCAG in accordance with the contract.
