NATO ARMP-8
Reliability & Maintainability in the Procurement of off-the-Shelf Equipment - ED 1 AMD 0
Organization:
NATO - North Atlantic Treaty Organization
Year: 1991
Abstract: This document outlines the measures to be taken for achieving an acceptable level of R&M in the purchase of OTS equipment during all procurement stages, including the market investigation. It details the specific requirements that should be adopted by both the purchaser and contractor.
Figure 1 shows the traditional NATO PAPS phases and at what stages an OTS procurement may be initiated and conducted. The OTS process is shown in more detail in figure 2. It must be stressed that considerable flexibility should be given to OTS consideration in the interest of the overall programme cost and efficiency.
Figure 2 describes the sequence of events in the OTS procurement process and how the preliminary market investigation may be initiated prior to the final definition of operational need or at any time thereafter. This process may further influence the operational need, the staff requirement, the specification or any combination of all three. The document delineates those R&M activities which should be considered for implementation during the procurement stages of OTS equipment. Stages include the formulation of the initial requirement, writing the specification, market investigation, and decision for contract award.
APPLICABILITY
ARMP-8 applies to all R&M activities which are directed towards the possible or actual purchase of equipment or materiel of an existing design. It applies to procurement of all OTS equipment irrespective of whether such equipment is purchased on a separate contract or as part of a larger contract.
