Maintaining Viable Supply Sources (formerly High Quality Sources)

Abstract

The Maintaining Viable Supply Sources (MVSS) Strategic Focus Area (SFA) consists of projects undertaken to assure that the industrial base can respond to DLA requirements and DLA can fill military customers’ material requirements reliably and consistently. Benefits include eliminating cancelled requisitions returned to customers as “non-procurable.” This strategic focus area includes within its scope the Advanced Microcircuit Emulation (AME) program with the objective to maintain a reliable and trusted domestic source for “non-procurable” linear and digital microcircuits. Microcircuit emulation allows the Services to save significant costs by using form, fit and functionally equivalent spare parts rather than redesigning the next-higher-assembly. Without the technologies planned on the AME Roadmap, DLA will not be able to support DoD’s requirements for high quality spare parts for critical electronic systems and subsystems, resulting in decreased warfighter readiness and significant cost for weapons system or component redesign. *In FY 2023, this SFA, Maintaining Viable Supply Sources (AAA), closes out. The Advanced Microcircuit Emulation (AME) program shifts to the Industrial Base & Aging Weapon System Support (IBA) Line of Effort (see R-2A).
