Logistics: F/A-18E/F Integrated Readiness Support Teaming Program (D-2003-120)

Abstract

In June 1999, the Naval Air Systems Command prepared a business case analysis outlining the benefits that DoD would derive from teaming with industry to obtain total logistics support for the F/A-18E/F aircraft, referred to as the F/A-18E/F Integrated Readiness Support Teaming (FIRST) Program. The business case analysis showed a 30-year cost avoidance of $1.4 billion that was based on a comparison of costs associated with the teaming initiative for seven major cost elements to those costs without the initiative. The Naval Air Systems Command used the business case to justify entering into a teaming arrangement with Boeing. However, lacking sufficient program funds for the effort, the Naval Air Systems Command requested that the Naval Inventory Control Point, Philadelphia (NAVICP) provide assistance through the Navy Working Capital Fund.
