Program Risks SAMPLE Insufficient funding to execute aircraft buys Date Consequence Likelihood Driver: Two Forward Price Rate Agreement (FPRA) increases (driven by a reduction in the base vs. predictions, erosion in the commercial business, efficiencies in production, a recent strike, and pension liabilities) and potential additional rate impacts due to Pension Protection Act compliance and projected business base loss in FY14 due to fewer aircraft buys are creating budget pressure to execute yearly budgeted a/c quantities and pressurizing APB and Nunn-McCurdy acquisition thresholds. Mitigation Plan: Finalize technical evaluation and negotiation Assess future rate increases and impacts on FYDP(ongoing) Pension Protection Act assessment (AIR 4.2 Lead) Business base (DCMA lead) Continue to Pursue cost reduction/control initiatives Update program manager’s cost estimate Engage Service for funding resolution Support PEO(A)/DCMA rate control initiative with company Date: Oct 10 (FRP decision) Ability to Achieve Affordability Goals to Meet Inventory Objectives Driver: Higher than anticipated costs due to enterprise growth (overhead rates); raw materials; cabin; supplier performance; increased labor hours. Two rate increases (driven by a reduction in the base vs. predictions, erosion in the commercial business, efficiencies in production, a recent strike, and pension liabilities) have recently created additional budget pressure.

Proposed Acquisition Strategy The Acquisition Strategy defines the approach the program will use to achieve full capability: either evolutionary or single step; it should include a brief rationale to justify the choice. (AS Template Para 3) If evolutionary acquisition approach, summarize the cost, schedule, and performance drivers for the increment under consideration, and the plan to transition from the initial increment to later increments. Specify any unique program circumstances Are you replacing an existing system (modification or new capability) New Start Is this a joint program? Identify Service(s)/DoD Components; Service-specific technical and operational differences; roles and responsibilities; and program funding If MS B or C total planned production and LRIP quantities.

(2) Proposed costs or prices submitted in response to an agency solicitation, or lists of those proposed costs or prices. (3) Source selection plans. (4) Technical evaluation plans. (5) Technical evaluations or proposals. (6) Cost or price evaluations of proposals. (7) Competitive range determinations that identify proposals that have a reasonable chance of being selected for award of a contract. (8) Rankings of bids, proposals, or competitors. (9) Reports and evaluations of source selection panels, boards, or advisory councils. (10) Other information marked as “Source Selection Information – See FAR 2.101 and 3.104” based on a case-by-case determination by the head of the agency or the contracting officer, that its disclosure would jeopardize the integrity or successful completion of the Federal agency procurement to which the information relates.
