“D1-D6 Schedule,” represents the surge requirements expressed in exact quantity with a 6-month sustainable accelerated delivery. D1-D6 is the surge requirement, including the Services’ go-to-war requirements. D1-D6 schedule is used when MWR cannot be applied (e.g., Troop Support items that have a definitive fielding schedule such as MREs). D1-D6 Schedule is determined and obtained by using SPIDERS or IBMS, or by consulting the IS.
“Industrial Capability Issue (ICI),” a procurement issue created by the lack of industrial capability, capacity, or raw or semi-finished materials lead-time issues that impact the ability of the supplier to deliver at the wartime rate. The mitigation of the issue would require an investment by the Government to improve capability to deliver at the wartime rate. Normally, such investments are funded through the Warstopper program (refer to Warstopper One Book chapter).
“Long Term Contract(LTC),” are all long-term contract instrument types (e.g., indefinite quantity, corporate, prime vendor) where the ordering period of performance, to include option periods, is greater than 1-year. LTC does not include Indefinite Delivery Purchase Orders (IDPO).
“Monthly Wartime Rate (MWR),” expressed in units per month, represents the combined recurring requirements for all Services after offsets for peacetime DLA Direct (DD) supply chain surge capability and/or DLA managed War Reserve Material (WRM) stocks are applied. MWR is the surge requirement, including the Services’ go-to-war requirements. MWR is used when items have assigned national stock numbers (NSN). MWR for an item is determined and obtained by using the Industrial Base Management System (IBMS) or by consulting the IS.
“Peacetime Support Issue,” occurs when DLA is unable to meet the customer’s required delivery date for a weapon system repair part that is coded Not Mission Capable-Supply (NMCS), a critical item that impacts mission capability (MICAP), or to prevent the loss of life/property, or meets the FAR criteria for an unusual and compelling requirement if routine fulfillment/replenishment procedures will not satisfy the requirement.
“Surge and Sustainment (S&S),” increased quantities and/or accelerated delivery rates required to meet the Services’ requisitions across a broad spectrum of contingencies. The increased quantity and accelerated delivery rate are above and beyond the normal peacetime requirements, and are identified as MWR, D1-D6 schedule, or Surge Quantity Option.
“Surge & Sustainment Coverage,” is a combination of DLA’s ability to fill contingency requisitions through MWR, D1-D6 schedule, or surge quantity option within the customer’s required delivery date (RDD) and the vendor’s ability to meet surge quantity and sustainable accelerated delivery.
“S&S Events,” events that describe the relationship between the S&S planning requirement (S&SPR), the S&S actual requirements, and S&S coverage.
Event I: An item has known surge planning requirements, is not covered for surge, and is not needed in surge quantities during an actual contingency.
Event II: An item has known surge planning requirements, is not covered for surge, and is needed in surge quantities during an actual contingency.
Event III: An item has no known surge planning requirements, is not covered for surge, and is needed in surge quantities during an actual contingency.
Event IV: An item has known surge planning requirements, is covered for surge, but is not needed in surge quantities during an actual contingency.
Event V: An item has known surge planning requirements, is covered for surge and is needed in surge quantities during an actual contingency.
Event VI: An item has no known surge requirements, is covered for surge, and is needed in surge quantities during an actual contingency.
Event VII: An item has no known surge requirements, is covered for surge, and is not needed in surge quantities during an actual contingency.
“Surge and Sustainment Planning Requirements (S&SPR),” (also referred to as “go-to-war requirements”), are the additive monthly wartime demand requirements obtained through collaboration with the customers, which include the Services’ Other War Reserve Material Requirements (OWRMR), Joint Chief of Staff (JCS) project coded requisitions, and items with a Weapon System Essentiality Code (WSEC) of 1, 5, 6 or 7. These are the Services’ go-to-war items for contingency operations, national emergencies, or other readiness needs, where speed of delivery and immediate availability of materials are the primary priority to support national security interests. DODI 3110.06, War Reserve Material Policy, and Secretary of Defense strategic planning guidance require the identification of these Go-to-War requirements to support the national security interests of the United States.
“Surge Quantity Option,” increased quantity above and beyond peacetime demands expressed in percent or exact number with a sustainable accelerated delivery. This is other than MWR or D1-D6 schedule, and used for items that are market ready, commercial, or non-NSN vendor part numbered items (e.g., cataloged commercial items under a prime vendor arrangement) to support increased demands during contingency operations, national emergencies, or other readiness needs. Surge quantity option is calculated using appropriate demand data through market research, or determined by consulting the IS.
“Unsupported Item Issue (UII),” surge requirements that cannot be met through peacetime inventory, normal peacetime contracting, alternative contract strategies, or a successful resolution using investment to an ICI. DLA is required to report these items to the Services for inclusion into their war reserve planning. Examples: Investment to resolve an ICI exceeds cost of a government “buy and hold” solution, or when stocking the item is counter to DOD war reserve policy.
