The following paragraph may be added to the example paragraph to address additional data and part use information and assist with validating the contractor's parts management process:
The procedures, planning, and all other documentation, media, and data that define the Parts Management Program and the parts selected for use shall be made available to the government for its review. The government may perform any necessary in- spections, verifications, and evaluations to ascertain conformance to requirements
and adequacy of the implementing procedures.
To satisfy the mission-essential needs of a specific acquisition, it may be desirable to tailor the selection of parts from the preferred parts list (PPL) or baseline. This can be accomplished by limiting the selection of parts to a specific type, grade, or class. Such limitations of parts should be specified in the SOW.
Parts Management Responsibilities during the DoD Acquisition and Sustainment Process
Both the DoD acquisition activity and the contractor have responsibilities to ensure that the
PMP meets contractual requirements and its goals and objectives:
• Acquisition activity responsibilities. Systems engineers-or their designated PMP managers, inte- grated product team (IPT) members, or other individuals responsible for parts manage-
ment-are responsible for determining and tailoring all initial parts management require- ments, coordinating and negotiating those requirements with the contractor, and evaluating and approving the required contractor-submitted plans or processes. They are also responsi- ble for ensuring that contractually approved plans are implemented and meet PMP objec- tives, as listed in MIL-STD-3018, during the engineering and manufacturing development, production and deployment, and operations and support phases. The responsible individuals may also request technical interchange or parts management IPT meetings to address and resolve any part-type issues and facilitate interacting or teaming with their industry counter- parts to ensure that requirements are met. They are also responsible for approving any con- tractor-initiated changes to the plan such as value engineering change proposals that reduce both government and contractor costs.
• Contractor responsibilities. The contractor's designated PMP manager is responsible for teaming with the acquisition activity to implement PMP contract requirements. Part selection and application are the responsibility of the contractor whose primary requirement is to meet the performance objectives of the system or equipment. The contractor's designated PMP man- ager is responsible for approving all selected parts and for ensuring that the contractor's parts management processes meet their intended objectives. The designated individual is also responsible for managing subcontractors' participation concerning contractual requirements, as well as all other aspects of the contractor's contractually approved processes.
