D. Evaluation Criteria for Milestones B, C, and
the FRP Decision
D.1 The evaluation criteria in the tables that follow are intended for use by the ILA team to
assess acquisition programs’ pending milestone decisions or FRP. The checklists are
intentionally detailed to support the entire range of acquisition programs. ILA teams should tailor
their use of these checklists or supplement with additional questions as appropriate for the
program undergoing assessment.
D.2 The checklists are generally constructed as shown in Figure D-1, Assessment Criteria
Checklist Format. Associated with each measure is milestone information for a typical
development program. It should be noted that although some of these criteria are initiated prior
to Milestone A, the assessment criteria contained herein start at Milestone B. An “X” in a
milestone column adjacent to criteria indicates the milestone before which this item should be
initiated. Updates and implementation will be assessed at the subsequent milestone and decision
point, and is indicated by a “U” in the appropriate column. Varying program requirements and
acquisition strategies may require tailoring of the milestone information in the tables as they may
not apply to every program at all times. Some checklists contain general information that is not
milestone-specific. A blank column is provided to assist the assessor in specifying items that are
relevant to the program under assessment. General references for checklist information are
provided in Table D-17, Assessment References.
