4 4 AFMAN MAY Overview. Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION This publication describes policy and procedures for the Depot Source of Repair (DSOR) process. DSOR process is broken into two sub-processes that provide definition to the materiel sustainment process for depot-level maintenance. The sub-processes are the Source of Repair Assignment (SORA) and Depot Maintenance Inter-Service (DMI). Supporting DSOR activities include DSOR Periodic Review (PR), Depot Activation (DA), Workload Approval Document (WAD) and if applicable, Depot Maintenance Interservice Support Agreement (DMISA), as shown in Figure 1.1 below. Figure 1.1. DSOR Overview Depot Source of Repair. AFI / requires all systems with depot-level maintenance, determined through Level of Repair Analysis (LORA) or equivalent data, have approved DSOR decision(s) by Milestone (MS)-B (or MS-C if there is no MS-B). The DSOR process applies to all depot-level maintenance (hardware and software) for new acquisitions and fielded systems (including the unique AF portion of joint programs not covered in a Joint DoD DSOR decision). As defined by Title 10 US Code (USC) Section 2460, depot-level maintenance or repair is the overhaul, upgrading, or rebuilding of parts, assemblies, or subassemblies, and the testing and reclamation of equipment as necessary, regardless of the source of funds for the maintenance or repair or the location at which the maintenance or repair is performed. Depot-level maintenance is an activity and is not location specific so it may be performed at organic and contract locations.

5 AFMAN MAY The DSOR process provides a structured approach for making and implementing depot maintenance support decisions. The DSOR process informs contract methodologies, supply chain management constructs, Public-Private Partnerships (PPP), and other aspects of product support management. The SORA includes a recommended location for performing depot maintenance and a Core Logistics Analysis (CLA) with a percentage of the workload to be organic The DSOR has two-parts. Part I is the SORA which includes the CLA, Candidate Depot (CD) assignment using the Technology Repair Center (TRC) construct, a workload analysis, and a statutory compliance impact assessment (addressing 10 USC 2464, Core Logistics Capabilities, and 10 USC 2466, Limitations on the Performance of Depot-level Maintenance of Materiel). Part II is the DMI review which identifies existing capabilities within the Department of Defense (DoD) to reduce duplication or justify additional capabilities. Work will be assigned to other services only if the capability already exists in that Service and no similar capability exists within the AF sustainment community. If the new capability exceeds peacetime requirements, additional capabilities can be justified through the DSOR process. The results of the DSOR process are documented in a DSOR Decision Memorandum IAW Chapter 3 of this Manual DSOR Periodic Review (PR). The DSOR PR is the process used to periodically review DSOR decisions for continuing validity. The PR will be performed IAW Chapter 4 of this Manual Depot Activation (DA). The DA process implements DSOR decisions in support of statutory depot maintenance requirements, and it also establishes depot-repair capability in either public or private sectors to meet warfighter requirements Depot Maintenance Interservice Support Agreements. DMISAs define the agreement between the Air Force and other DoD entities to provide depot maintenance and related support functions for weapon systems, equipment end items, systems, sub-systems, components, or commodity groups (to include software maintenance). DMISAS are the required method to implement DSOR decisions between the AF Force and other DoD entities unless a Non-consumable Item Materiel Support Code 5 is utilized DSOR Automated Management System (AMS) The DSOR AMS is the authoritative source for all DSOR activities and assists the Product Support Manager (PSM) in completion of the associated processes including depot activations, periodic reviews, workload approval documents, and depot maintenance interservice agreements. The DSOR AMS is an automated tool that provides both the steps for each process and a repository for the historical documentation of the DSOR process by program. The tool is located at: with templates available under DSOR Library. Note: Classified program DSORs are jointly developed between AFMC/A4 and AFMC/A5/8/9 in an appropriate secure environment.

10 10 AFMAN MAY Introduction. Chapter 3 DEPOT SOURCE OF REPAIR (DSOR) PROCESS The DSOR process postures depot-level maintenance workloads based upon the TRC construct, including activation of prioritized workloads. The DSOR ensures a life cycle perspective is utilized when planning and programming for depot-level maintenance, ensures compliance with statutory and regulatory guidance, and provides an audit trail for the life of the system. A DSOR decision is required before investment dollars are obligated to establish a depot-level capability at a specific site (e.g., facilities, support equipment). Funds may be obligated without a DSOR for non-site specific items. The CLA must be complete by MS-A, and the DSOR must be complete prior to MS-B (or MS-C if there is no MS-B). The PSM will ensure the required depot-level maintenance repair intellectual property rights and data deliverable elements, required for DA, are included in all contract actions. As the authoritative source for all DSOR activities, the DSOR AMS includes all process instructions, templates, and resulting documentation for the CLA, SORA, DMI, DA, PR, and DMISA activities. DSORs can be accomplished at multiple levels (e.g., System, Sub-System, LRU/SRU). If a DSOR is completed at a higher level than all lower sub-indenture depot level reparables, then all depot level reparables will assume the same DSOR designation unless specifically identified in the DSOR Decision Memorandum. Detailed DSOR guidance is provided in the DSOR II Library Technology Repair Center Construct The AF uses the TRC construct of grouped technology descriptions to posture depot maintenance workloads. The TRC construct applies to all materiel subject to depot maintenance, properly categorizing workloads in groups based on unique skills, equipment, and the facilities required to perform depot-level maintenance. Adherence to the TRC construct applies to all depot-level maintenance. For software workloads, the Software Decision Tree Analysis (documented in the DSOR AMS) will be utilized. The current version of the TRC construct, as well as the TRC/FSC tables are located in the DSOR AMS The TRC table may help determine the potential AF CD based on the technology description. The TRC/FSC table is an updated listing of items repaired, or planned to be repaired, at each depot TRC designations/documents are updated on an as needed basis 3.3. Waivers There are no waivers for the DSOR requirement, however, there are exclusions (reference Paragraph 3.8) Partnerships The PSM must obtain the DSOR decision prior to finalizing a PPP. PPPs are one method to implement DSOR decision and are employed through detailed Implementation Agreements (IA). PPP opportunities for depot maintenance requirements are considered as

11 AFMAN MAY early as possible within the life cycle. When a product support strategy includes depot maintenance PPPs, the PSM must analyze and incorporate the following elements into the DSOR and DMAWG documentation: structure, costs, benefits, opportunities, risks, investments, resources, constraints, impacts to statutory requirements, and the best use of public and private sector capabilities Warranties Warranties do not replace the DSOR process, and are not to be considered a long-term depot maintenance strategy. The PSM must obtain the DSOR decision before committing to a long-term, depot-level repair posture, including warranties or extended service contracts DSOR Triggers A DSOR is required for all depot-level maintenance, including but not limited to new acquisition, new work, modification installation, modification follow-on, overseas workload, and workload shifts New Acquisition. A new acquisition includes any system, item, component, subsystem, or software that will result in a new requirement for depot-level maintenance. DSORs for new acquisitions shall be on the total anticipated inventory to be acquired. For new acquisitions, the DSOR requirements shall be initiated no later than the Technology Maturation and Risk Reduction Phase and within sufficient time to obtain a DSOR decision for inclusion into the Acquisition Strategy New Work. As related to requiring a DSOR, new work is a change to a previously postured system, sub-system, end item, or component that will result in at least a 20% change to the depot maintenance workload hours or cost Modification Installation. This is a one-time effort. Modifications are installed by government personnel either in a depot or by a depot field team, or by contractors in a contractor facility or by contract field teams, or by any combination of these methods of implementation. This is not a long-term sustainment decision. However, the DSOR must be accomplished to determine the Source of Repair (SOR) for the modification, to facilitate accurate reporting for Title 10 USC 2466, and ensure compliance with 10 USC 2460 for installation of modifications Modification Follow-on. When a modification introduces one or more of these components requiring depot-level maintenance, it is necessary to complete the DSOR to determine where the follow-on depot maintenance will be performed. The DSOR applies to modifications (a change to form, fit, function, or integration) to existing systems for which the depot-level SOR has been approved. This may be combined with the modification installation DSOR Overseas Workload. DSORs are required for any SOR that involves the potential of depot-level maintenance by a source outside of the United States. DSOR packages will be prepared and submitted in the same manner as new acquisition packages Workload Shift. A permanent change in the officially-designated SOR or source of modification. A DSOR is required for a workload shift when there is a proposed change in the SOR that results in one of the following types of SOR shifts: from assigned organic depot to another organic depot; from assigned organic depot to a contract; or from contract

12 12 AFMAN MAY 2017 SOR to an organic depot. Changes from one contract repair source to another, or consolidating several contract workloads, do not require a DSOR. For a workload shift, the DSOR process must be used to ensure compliance with Title 10 USC Depot Maintenance Software Workloads Software maintenance is to correct faults (corrective maintenance) after IOC of a software product, improve software performance or other attributes (perfective maintenance), or to adapt a weapon system to a changed environment within the bounds of existing toplevel system specifications (adaptive maintenance). The software maintenance process includes problem/change identification and classification, analysis, design, implementation, regression/system testing, acceptance testing, and delivery. Software maintenance is performed on military materiel (e.g., weapon systems and their components, space control systems and their components, Automated Test Equipment (ATE) and Test Program Sets (TPS), and systems integration laboratories). Depot-level software maintenance does not include maintenance of business data systems. There are four types of software maintenance workloads requiring a DSOR Operational Software (including Operational Flight Programs, Mission Planning, Training Systems and Weapon System Simulators). This software pertains to both airborne and ground weapon systems. Weapon system s software also includes programs or applications that are not directly tied to a specific system such as mission planning software that is provided for the management of the battle space. Implementing typical operational software involves using one or more computers, controllers, sensors, and/or indicators, etc. to collect data related to the weapon system environment, and provides the functionality to perform the weapon system mission. Software supporting space system ground segments is included in this section. DSOR Part 1 - SORA is required, and no DMI is necessary Test Software (ATE/TPS). ATE software is the operating software resident in test equipment. TPS software tests item serviceability. Test software includes software associated with an end item being tested (TPS software) and the software residing in test equipment (ATE software). This includes user equipment software supporting space system ground segments. DSOR Part 1 - SORA is required, and no DMI is necessary Industrial Plant and Equipment Software. This software includes automated depot operations equipment including robotic, cleaning/plating, and other industrial processes. No DSOR is required for this type of software Software Modifications. Modifications include software changes, upgrades, tech refresh, and updates. Modifications include but are not limited to incorporation of additional, new or improved capability. DSOR Part 1 SORA is required only; no DMI necessary Exclusions to the DSOR Process The PSM verifies a specific workload meets the exclusion criteria and provides data/justification to AF DSOR Executive Manager. AF DSOR Executive Manager reviews the information and generates a DSOR non-applicability memorandum for items meeting criteria below. For space programs, AFSPC must concur with all requests to exclude workloads from the DSOR process. Workloads meeting the exclusion criteria include:

13 AFMAN MAY Workloads generated by Industrial Plant Equipment located exclusively within the depot maintenance complex and funded through the industrial fund Modifications to components that do not change the form, fit, function, or integration of the component modified and do not change the basic part number; only the version (dash number change); as long as the SOR of the end item does not change Foreign Military Sales (FMS) programs United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) workloads that are Major Force Program (MFP)-11 funded. However, all sustainment workloads transferring to AF will require a DSOR at time of official transfer Automated Data Processing Equipment workloads that are not for national security systems (including payroll, finance, logistics, and personnel management applications) Department of Energy (DOE) special design military spares. Examples include, but are not limited to, nuclear weapon trainers, nuclear weapons test and evaluation or handling equipment, and use control equipment Medical Equipment. Management and sustainment for medical materiel for peacetime and wartime support is established under the Air Force Medical Support Agency as prescribed in AFI , Managing Clinical Engineering Programs. Examples of medical equipment exclusions include field intravenous fluid reconstitution and deployable oxygen systems TPS software when the cost, capability, and hours are included in the DSOR for its associated hardware (unit under test) Core Exclusion Commercial items are not exempt from the DSOR process. However, workload applicability to the Title 10 USC 2464 Core exclusion clause is captured and approved during the SORA process via Congressional Notification Core Exclusion. The Core exclusion does not alleviate the requirement to complete the DSOR. The template format, instructions and process for submission are located in the DSOR AMS. The process for Core exclusion is: PSM completes the Congressional Notification Core Exclusion template in DSOR AMS PSM obtains coordination from AF DSOR Executive Manager and AFSPC if a space system PSM submits template to their PEO for coordination PEO coordinates with SAF/AQ SAF/AQ processes notification documentation to OSD for submission to Congress. The notification to Congress constitutes Core exclusion approval.

14 14 AFMAN MAY Space Programs Space programs, systems, sub-systems, and end items are routed through AFSPC in DSOR AMS before submitting to AF DSOR Executive Manager. Space PSMs utilize the DSOR AMS for the DSOR process to include the PR, DA, and DMISA activities Execution of the DSOR Process The DSOR process includes (1) SORA and (2) DMI, constituting the DSOR decision. Additional DSOR activities include decision implementation and review activities (i.e., DAs, PRs) which are addressed in their individual chapters. The DSOR addresses all impacts to statutory compliance, including 10 USC 2464 and 10 USC SORA Process. The PSM initiates the SORA process by requesting a CLA determination using the DSOR AMS. PSM provides data, prepared at the appropriate system/sub-system-level for data obtainment and execution, in the following areas: System Capability, Functional Description of System/Sub-system, Final Application, Technology Assessment, Cryptologic Description, Workload Description, Acquisition Category, and Joint Service Program information. For new acquisition programs, the PSM may use data based on similar existing systems/sub-systems. AF DSOR Executive Manger performs the CLA and assigns a Candidate Depot based upon the TRC construct. AF DSOR Executive Manger issues a Core /Candidate Depot (CCD) Memorandum, including organic depot POCs and Core shortfall data, to the PSM. CLA determination is required by MS-A IAW 10 USC 2366a and is included in the CLA Annex to the LCSP Upon receipt of the CLA and CCD memorandum, the PSM in collaboration with the candidate organic depot(s), completes the SORA templates including rationale for DSOR recommendations (reference Figure 3.1). The rationale includes projected depot peacetime repair hours, estimated recurring and non-recurring repair costs, depot support equipment, facilities information, and a cost comparison between organic and contract SORs. Organic and contract depot repair data can be extracted from existing analysis or, if such analysis does not exist, then the SORA Cost Analysis Tool (CAT) template in DSOR AMS may be used for the cost comparison The PSM submits the completed SORA recommendations for approval coordination via the DSOR AMS. AF DSOR Executive Manger conducts analysis on AF statutory compliance impacts from DSOR recommendation and resolves all issues with the recommendation prior to issuing the SORA approval memorandum to the PSM.

15 AFMAN MAY Figure 3.1. SORA Approval Process DMI Process The PSM submits the completed DMI templates in DSOR AMS (reference Figure 3.2). Subsequently, AF DSOR Executive Manager forwards the DMI packages to the other Services for identification of existing capability and capacity. Work will be assigned to other Services only if the capability already exists, no similar capability exists within the AF sustainment community, and when the recurring cost of sustainment is less than the AF. If there is no existing or similar capability identified by the other Services within 45 days from the DMI request issuance, the AF shall complete and issue the DSOR Decision Memorandum Upon receiving the Services input on the DMI, AF DSOR Executive Manager issues the DSOR Decision Memorandum for each DSOR to the PSM and all appropriate stakeholders. This issuance completes the DSOR process If the Service s reply identifies existing capability, AF DSOR Executive Manger forms and leads an inter-service cost study team including the PSM, AF depot, and the other Service-nominated SOR(s). The team will assess the nominated SOR capabilities and if equal will determine the best value, using the content and format described within Department of Defense Manual (DoDM) , DoD Organic Depot Maintenance Cost Comparability. If analysis results in a tie, the AF depot will be awarded the workload. Based upon the assessment rationale, AF DSOR Executive Manger issues the DSOR Decision Memorandum to the PSM and all appropriate stakeholders. This issuance completes the DSOR process.

17 AFMAN MAY Periodic Review Overview. Chapter 4 DEPOT SOURCE OF REPAIR PERIODIC REVIEW DSOR PRs are required to ensure the continued validity of DSOR decisions and to assess if an updated DSOR decision is required to enable more affordable or effective support for a program. DSOR PRs are conducted throughout the life cycle of a weapon system/program. Detailed PR process is contained in the AMS DSOR Library The AF DSOR Executive Manager, AFSPC/CC (for space systems) or PEO may direct a PR at any time; however, PSMs are required to initiate PRs at the following times: Critical Design Review (CDR) + 90 days MS-C Decision Full Rate Production/Full Deployment Decision Every 5 years after issuance of the Final DSOR Decision Memorandum 4.2. Periodic Review Execution When executing a DSOR PR, the PSM: Determines if the workload has changed by at least 20%, either in cost or in labor hours, as compared to the data used when making the most recent DSOR decision Determines if additional capabilities or sustainment requirements have been added since the original DSOR decision Enters the DSOR PR data in the DSOR AMS and execute direction accordingly Periodic Review Approval The AF DSOR Executive Manager approves the DSOR PR recommendation and may require the PSM to initiate a new DSOR. The approval process is as follows: The AF DSOR Executive Manager evaluates the recommendation to determine if any changes (size, workload, cost, performance, etc.) occurring since the initial/last DSOR Decision warrant a new DSOR. The AF DSOR Executive Manager reviews these changes with AFSPC/A4 prior to approval as applicable If the program has changed workload or cost by at least 20% or incorporated new capabilities, the AF DSOR Executive Manager will direct the PSM to initiate a new DSOR via DSOR AMS, within 30 days. The DSOR will follow the process described in Chapter 3.

18 18 AFMAN MAY Introduction. Chapter 5 DEPOT ACTIVATION (DA) DA process identifies and assembles all required facilities, equipment, materials, processes, technologies, training, and certified personnel to perform depot maintenance for weapon systems and military equipment. DA planning begins during DSOR development and ends when all depot maintenance capability is available for use (reference Figure 5.1). PSM uses the DA process to execute the DSOR decision, regardless of the outcome, and to inform Request for Proposal (RFP) development for either contract depot maintenance or enlisting Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) assistance for organic depot activation. The detailed process to follow for DA can be found in DSOR Library located on the DSOR AMS Figure 5.1. Depot Activation (DA) in the Acquisition Cycle Funding. The PSM plans and programs sufficient funding to support DA and includes all associated costs in program life cycle cost estimates. PSMs ensure depot funding requirements are included in CCaRs in order to enable oversight of the obligation and execution of DA funding. The Lead Command will be the DA funding advocate as detailed in AFI / For additional detail on funding DA, refer to DoD r, Department of Defense Financial Management Regulation, Volume 2A, Chapter 1, and AFI , Volume 1, Budget Guidance and Procedures, paragraph

19 AFMAN MAY Schedule. The PSM will ensure that a depot activation schedule is developed and published, along with the Depot Maintenance Activation Plan (DMAP), in the DSOR AMS. The PSM ensures that the AF DSOR Executive Manager is notified immediately if the depot activation falls behind schedule. The notification includes appropriate rationale if special circumstances are identified during system acquisition and/or deployment to warrant delay in activation. The PSM ensures the DA funding requirements are modified to support the new schedule and updates the IMS, DMAP and DA reporting tabs in the DSOR AMS, in addition to updating CCaRs appropriately Common Reparable Item (CRI). CRI depot repair capabilities will be explored and documented throughout the logistics life cycle. DA activities, to include repair capabilities, will be consolidated to the fullest extent possible to provide best value to the government The PSM will review deliverables received under DI-PSSS with DMAWG members and develop DA consolidation recommendations where possible DA Process for DSORs with Organic Designated Workloads The PSM develops a DMAP, which includes at least the depot maintenance activities and the deliverables incorporated into all contract actions. PSM will integrate CDRLs required for statutory and regulatory reporting requirements, monitor all progress until depotlevel repair capabilities are available, and resolve any impacts to the production line(s) Depot Maintenance Activation Working Groups (DMAWGs) and Maintenance Activation Planning Teams (MAPTs) The PSM develops and submits a DMAP using DSOR AMS to AF DSOR Executive Manager for approval, IAW the Final DSOR Decision Memorandum The PSM populates the DAPM located in DSOR AMS with DSOR data and AF DSOR Executive Manager runs an initial set of DAPM results to help focus the PSM s DMAWG/DA resource utilization The PSM revises the DA plan and funding requirements based upon the DAPM results and initiates DMAWG activities The PSM establishes a DMAWG to facilitate implementation of DA requirements, facilitate involvement from all stakeholders, and ensure timely activation of depot repair capability. The PSM and a representative from AFMC co-chair the DMAWG The PSM initiates the DMAWG no later than 90 days after receiving the Final DSOR Decision Memorandum and continues the DMAWG until all repair capabilities are available for use AFMC ensures that SMEs are assigned to support the DMAWG and subordinate MAPTs The DMAWG is supported by MAPTs. MAPTs are subgroups with SMEs from all applicable Integrated Product Support Element disciplines A single MAPT is assigned to support implementation of specific DSOR decision(s).

20 20 AFMAN MAY MAPTs develop and brief detailed DA plans to DMAWG for DMAP input. DMAWG co-chairs will determine if the plan is ready and route for PSM approval DA Process for DSORs with Organic Designated Workloads The DMAWG develops a Charter no later than 90 days post initial DMAWG At a minimum, the Charter must address the DA objective, membership roles and responsibilities, MAPTs structure, team duration, references, and meeting cadence The DMAWG co-chairs approve the Charter and load it into DSOR AMS The DA tabs in DSOR AMS will be updated during each DMAWG meeting to reflect current status The DMAWG develops a DMAP no later than 90 days after initial DMAWG meeting. DMAP will serve as a living document to be updated as a function of the DMAWG activities. All updates to the DMAP must be maintained on the DSOR AMS The DMAP addresses all Integrated Product Support Element planning factors and describes DA events, resources, and schedules to implement all DSOR decisions within DMAWG portfolio The DMAP is a living document and as such the PSM continually updates as significant programmatic, engineering, and/or funding changes occur MAPT develops a detailed roadmap for implementation of specific DSOR decisions. The roadmap includes the results of depot capability gap analysis. This gap analysis, which is funded by the PSM, evaluates current depot capabilities including recurring and nonrecurring DA requirements and processes associated with all applicable Integrated Product Support Elements (e.g., repair process flow, supply support procedures, validation/verification procedures, quality assurance). The analysis forms a basis for a recommended DA action plan with required resources, cost and timelines.

Applicability Applies to all Air Force DMISAs, regardless of the method by which the DSOR decision was reached (e.g., DMI study or Directed DSOR). Note: Inter-Service Depot maintenance workload not accomplished under the credit exchange process will be via a DMISA Scope of DMISAs DMISAs are established to document the requirements of depot maintenance and related support functions for weapon systems, equipment end items, systems, subsystems, components, or commodity groups (to include software maintenance). DMISAs are normally used between the Military Services; however, they may also be used between a Military Service and another DoD Component or Federal Agency receiving organic depot maintenance support DMISAs are only used to assign workload and shall not be used to document transfer of responsibility for a function or mission from one Military Service or DoD Agency to another. All DMISAs will have an expiration not to exceed 9 years from the date they are signed Detailed DMISA guidance, templates and policy is provided in the DSOR II Library at Air Force DMISAs shall be managed and tracked in the DMISA Management Application located at DARLENE J.

26 26 AFMAN MAY 2017 USC United States Code USSOCOM United States Special Operations Command WAD Workload Approval Document Terms 50/50 Refers to Title 10 USC 2466, which states no more than 50% of depot-level maintenance funds made available in a fiscal year may be used to contract for depot-level maintenance and repair by Non-Federal Government personnel. Candidate Depot The AF prospective or candidate organic depot being considered for longterm, depot-level repair of a system/sub-system/end item. It is not a final depot selection until the DSOR process is complete. The TRC construct is used to select AF candidate depots. Core Refers to Title 10 USC 2464, which states the DoD must maintain a Core logistics capability that is government-owned and government-operated (including government personnel and government-owned and operated equipment and facilities) to ensure a ready and controlled source of technical competence and resources necessary to ensure effective and timely response to mobilization, national defense contingency situations, and other emergency requirements. Core Capability An integral part of a depot maintenance skill and resource base that will be maintained within depot activities to meet contingency requirements. Core comprises a minimum level of mission-essential capability within DoD. Depot Level Maintenance Materiel maintenance or repair requiring the inspection, overhaul, upgrading, or rebuilding of parts, assemblies, or subassemblies, and the testing and reclamation of equipment as necessary, regardless of the source of funds for the maintenance or repair or the location at which the maintenance or repair is performed. The term includes (1) all aspects of software maintenance classified by the Department of Defense as of July 1, 1995, as depot-level maintenance and repair, and (2) interim contractor support or contractor logistics support (or any similar contractor support), to the extent that such support is for the performance of services described in the preceding sentence. The term does not include the procurement of major modifications or upgrades of weapon systems that are designed to improve program performance or the nuclear refueling or defueling of an aircraft carrier and any concurrent complex overhaul. A major upgrade program covered by this exception could continue to be performed by private or public sector activities. The term also does not include the procurement of parts for safety modifications. However, the term does include the installation of parts for that purpose. Depot Maintenance Activation Plan A plan, developed by the PSM, showing the events and schedules required to achieve a depot maintenance capability for specified systems, equipment, and resources. This plan will consider organic, inter-service, and contractor support requirements IAW with DSOR decision. Depot Maintenance Activation Working Group A group of representatives from the stakeholders involved in activating a depot maintenance capability for individual systems and equipment. Depot Maintenance Interservice The interservice process to select site specific depots to perform maintenance support. Reviews are accomplished by a Joint Service forum to ensure consideration of all Services' depot capabilities.
