A demonstrated relationship with the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) is required for each non-standard aircraft system to be supported in this acquisition to ensure continued airworthiness; access to technical and engineering data and support; and access to logistical services and supply chains. Third party and/or brokered relationships are not allowed. Lifecycle sustainment support services include but not limited to the following requirements. 1. Sustaining Engineering. a. Collection and triage of all service use and maintenance data. b. Analysis of safety hazards, failure causes and effects, reliability and maintainability trends, and operational usage profiles. c. Root cause analysis of in-service problems (i.e., operational hazards, deficiency reports, parts obsolescence, corrosion effects, and reliability degradation). 2. Supply Support. a. Acquisition of spare/repair parts, repair of reparables, and aircraft overhaul, maintenance, and modification. b. Inventory management to determine requirements to acquire, catalog, receive, store, transfer, issue, and dispose of spare/repair parts and supplies. c. Establish a comprehensive supply chain consisting of forward and/or flightline supply activities, rear and/or removed secondary distribution activities, transportation channels, and robust commercial distributors and suppliers. 3. Maintenance Planning and Management. a. Acquisition of aircraft maintenance and support at all levels of maintenance. b. Aircraft modification and alterations. c. Lifecycle maintenance planning and management for maintenance concept design, level of repair analysis, maintenance task design and skill level determination, workload allocation and planning, and configuration management. 4. Support Equipment. a. Acquisition of peculiar and common tools, test, and support equipment. b. Metrology and calibration services and support. 5. Technical Data. a. Acquisition of technical documentation, manuals, and drawings to operate, maintain, and train NSRWA systems. b.
