D-13. Supply
Supply includes the selection of sources of supply support, including support management
functions that maximize the service to the user while minimizing cost, and establishing systems to
provide supply data for weapon systems spares acquisition and sustainment. Supply support
includes planning processes to ensure that the right items, in the right quantities, are at the right
places at the right times at the most economical cost. Supply support is vital to achieving system
operational goals since the lack of a single critical spare component part can render the entire
system inoperable.
Evaluation Criteria
1. Sparing Analyses
• Supportability analyses with the associated BCA define the sparing
approach (e.g., PBL, direct vendor delivery, inventory control point
reprocurement and provisioning).
