Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) Contractual Provisions Guidebook,
Abstract
The guidebook is structured to assist the reader in drafting the ILS section of his contract. It consists of a checklist of ILS contractual provisions, a set of sample ILS contractual statements that can be employed 'as is' in the contract or tailored to the specific system being acquired, and a set of 'lessons to be learned' to be applied to the ILS portion of the contract. The majority of the ILS tasks and items in the checklist are those normally contained in the contract SOW. A few items, such as the logistics support cost commitment (LSCC), the reliability-improvement warranty (RIW), etc., are options that normally are contained in the Special Provisions section (Section J) of the contract. These are so noted in the checklist. The checklist is further structured for those tasks and items which would normally be contained in full-scale development (FSD) or production-contract SOWs. (There is a current tendency in contracting to award joint FSD/initial-production contracts. The reader should note, however, that the tasks accomplished during this FSD phase are more oriented toward design, whereas those accomplished during the production phase are more concerned with updating and testing.) The statements are applicable to both major defense systems and less-than-major systems since, regardless of the cost, each new system generally has the same ILS contractual elements to be considered in the acquisition process.
