• Parts list or bill of materials (BOM). The plan must detail how and when the contractor submits initial and updated parts lists or BOMs to the government, as required by con- tract.
• Subcontractor management. The plan must describe contractor procedures for establishing and maintaining subcontractor participation to the extent necessary to ensure satisfaction of the parts management objectives.
• Part and supplier quality. The plan must describe provisions for assessing part suppliers and part quality, such as statistical process control data, audits, and past performance.
• Part-level documentation procedures. Part-level documentation procedures must be detailed
and consistent with the program's configuration management, logistics strategies, and total life-cycle requirements.
• Substitute and alternate part procedures. The process for the management, definition, and documentation of substitute and alternate parts must be described. In specifying the part replacement process, the contractor must ensure the program is consistent with the intent and application of SE disciplines (configuration management, quality, logistics, etc.).
• Customer-contractor teaming. The parts management plan must address customer teaming to allow for continued insight into processes for program verification. Examples of teaming are IPT participation, technical interchange meetings, exchange of logistics data, and veri- fication of performance metrics.
• Counterfeit parts. The parts management plan must address the detection, mitigation, and disposition of counterfeit parts, including electronic, electrical, and mechanical parts. SAE International's AS5553 should be used for guidance for electronic parts.
• Lead-free electronic parts. The parts management plan must address the process to manage the risk associated with using lead-free parts. TechAmerica GEIA-STD-0005-1 may be used for guidance for lead-free electronic parts.
• Additional elements (lead free, counterfeit parts, etc.). The process for addressing those addition- al elements, as identified by contract, must be defined.
The acquisition activity should review the parts management plan against the requirements of MIL-STD-3018. After approval of the plan, the contractor is responsible for meeting the re- quirements of the plan and recommending changes to the plan depending on part type, techni- cal or environmental issues, or changes in the parts procurement business environment. All
plan revisions must be coordinated and approved by the acquisition activity.
The following sections detail some of the elements of a parts management plan.
Preferred Parts List or Corporate Parts Baseline
The PPL should be maintained in an electronic database and be readily available in-house. A
preferred method is to tie the PPL to a computer-aided design (CAD) library or repository.
