Contractor Recommendations for Spares Provisioning of the F-16 C/D Aircraft

Abstract

Provisioning is the management process of determining and acquiring support items necessary to initially operate and maintain a weapon system such as an aircraft. For provisioning of spares, the Air Force Logistics Command (AFLC) required responsible contractors to recommend the items needed for initial support of a given end item and to determine whether items were already stocked by DoD or were new candidates for procurement. Contractors were also required to provide forecasting factors and to use these factors in AFLC models to compute spares requirements. Provisioning of spares for the Air Force's F-l6 C/D aircraft (excluding engines) totaled about $174 million for FM 1982 through FM 1990.
