Department of Defense INSTRUCTION

DoDI 5000.02, January 7, 2015
U.S.C. 2464. The Program Manager will ensure that a depot source of repair designation is
made not later than 90 days after the Critical Design Review. Before entering into a contract for
low rate initial production, supportability analysis must include detailed requirements for core
depot-level maintenance and repair capabilities, and associated sustaining workloads required to
support such requirements. Program plans will include the use of DLA-operated storage and
distribution facilities where collocated with the DoD Component’s selection of organic depot
maintenance.
(3) Preservation and Storage of Unique Tooling Plan. For Major Defense Acquisition
Programs (MDAPs), the plan, as outlined and required by section 815 of P.L. 110-417
(Reference (f) (g)), is prepared to support Milestone C. It must include the review cycle for
assessing tool retention across the life of the system. If an Milestone Decision Authority (MDA)
(other than the Defense Acquisition Executive (DAE)) determines that preservation and storage
of unique tooling is no longer required, a waiver will be submitted to the DAE for notification to
Congress.
(4) IP Strategy. The program’s IP Strategy will be included in the LCSP and updated
appropriately during the O&S Phase (see paragraph 6a(4) in Enclosure 2 of this instruction for
additional information).
(5) Additional Annexes. Program Managers will consider including additional annexes,
or reference other documents that integrate a program’s sustainment planning or product support
strategy.
e. Life-cycle sustainment for information systems may be provided via multiple approaches,
including service level agreements, support agreements, performance work statements, and
enterprise services. Where feasible and as approved by the MDA, programs may employ
portfolio-level documents to satisfy their LCSP requirements. Commercial off-the-shelf and
government off-the-shelf products used as intended will normally be supported via standard
warranties and support agreements. Effective life-cycle sustainment requires continuous
monitoring to ensure investments are maintained at the right size, cost, and condition, to include
vulnerability management, to support warfighter and business missions and objectives.
Information technology investment LCSPs will address Management-in-Use guidelines
published in Office of Management and Budget Circular A-11 (Reference (c)).
4. SUSTAINMENT METRICS. The sustainment key performance parameter (KPP)
(Availability) is as critical to a program’s success as cost, schedule, and performance. ACAT I
and II program managers will use availability and sustainment cost metrics as triggers to conduct
further investigation and analysis into drivers of those metrics, to develop Should Cost targets,
and to develop strategies for improving reliability, availability, and maintainability of such
systems at a reduced cost. The materiel availability portion of the KPP will be based on the
entire system inventory and supported by the following sustainment metrics:
