assessment process. Each team member should also review program documentation affecting
their assigned area. The Documentation Request List provided in Appendix C should be used
as a baseline for forming the documentation request and tailored to match the program and
acquisition phase. The scope and depth of logistics support information in these documents
can vary significantly from program to program and by acquisition phase. The PO is
responsible for providing the required information to the ILA team. The requested
documentation should be received by the ILA team no later than four weeks before the ILA.
This will minimize time spent obtaining documentation time during the actual review period
and provide team members the opportunity to review the documents in advance of the ILA.
5.4. Meetings and Presentations.
Before, during, and at the completion of an ILA, it is critical that meetings and
presentations be conducted to communicate expectations and should include PM
presentations, updates, and discussions. A discussion of these meetings and presentations is
provided in Appendix H to ensure there is a standard ILA assessment and reporting process in
place.
5.5. ILA Final Report.
The ILA team leader is responsible for preparing the ILA final report, coordinating it
with the PO, and submitting it to the PM, as well as the appropriate PEO, Product Center
Commander and/or ALC Commander. The MDA should use the report to verify the adequacy
of the program’s product support planning and implementation prior to the milestone decision.
The ILA team leader will provide information copies of the final report to AFMC/LG,
Secretary of the Air Force (SAF)/AQ, SAF/IE, AF/IL, and appropriate warfighter
stakeholders.
5.5.1. The Final Report should clearly distinguish issues that need to be resolved and
the time frame for resolution (e.g., before the acquisition milestone decision, contract
award, release of the request for proposal, or operational evaluation). All engineering
issues should be resolved before release of the RFP and subsequent contract award.
The report should contain, at a minimum, the following information:
• Purpose, scope, and dates of the assessment
• A summary of the ratings for each sustainment element
• Overall assessment of the program’s product support planning and
implementation
• Brief description of the system/equipment
• Listing of team members and areas covered
• All deficiencies/issues identified during the assessment citing specific criteria
• Recommended corrective actions and timelines
• Best practices and other processes of note
• Process or policy barriers that require attention
