Industrial Base Analysis and Sustainment Support

Abstract

The Defense-wide Industrial Base Analysis and Sustainment (IBAS) program element provides the Department with a comprehensive ability to achieve the strategic goal of strengthening the industrial base in support of DoD supply chain and defense manufacturing requirements. This program maintains or improves the health of essential parts of the defense industry to avoid reconstitution costs for capability after a Defense procurement hiatus on major investment programs or critical supply chain products where affordable and innovative mechanisms are available to work with the producers in the interim. A stated purpose of the program is to provide for sustainment of the industrial base through a break in production. Criteria for project selection will include factors such as 1) identifiable path of preservation, transformation or innovation between an existing capability and a capability with a very high probability of being needed in the short to medium term (< 5 years); 2) loss of the capability is likely in the absence of the proposed project; 3) analysis showing that the project results in a lower overall cost to the department than if capability is developed from scratch when needed; and 4) preference is given to projects supporting multiple programs or services with no clearly identifiable principle beneficiary.
