transport environment. For lifting, the design limit load is the static load times the
load factor (LF). The tie down points shall be designed to meet the requirements of
this SOW with a safety factor of 1.15.
5.1.6.2 Static load: The anticipated maximum resultant force imposed on the provision when
an item, at Gross Weight (GW), is suspended in a specified lifting configuration
without movement.
5.1.6.3 Ultimate load: The force (not less than the design limit load times 1.5) that a
provision, including its connecting structural members, can sustain without breaking,
rupturing, or otherwise becoming unusable.
5.1.6.4 Yield load: The force at which a provision, including its connecting structural
members, exhibits permanent deformation after the force is removed. The yield load
must be greater than the design limit load.
5.1.6.5 The Contractor shall define the anchoring plan to ensure that the container and any
internal cargo can be safely transported by any mean of transport. G factors as
specified for air, rail, road and sea with a minimum safety factor of 1.15 shall be
achieved. The ultimate load shall be not less than 1.5 times the required design limit.
However, it is understood that the G-forces applicable will also depend on the
reefer’s anchoring points.
5.1.6.6 The reefers are subject to off road movement carried by military hook lift vehicles
(e.g. palletised load system (PLS); Demountable Rack Offload and Pickup System
(DROPS)); the internal fittings, packaging and internal load restraints (dunnaging)
shall withstand such conditions, in particular the steep angle (45 degrees) of loading
and unloading.

6 INTEGRATED LOGISTIC SUPPORT

6.1 General
6.1.1 In order to minimize both system down time and in-service support costs, NSPA
requires the Contractor to conduct an Integrated Logistic Support (ILS) program that
shall ensure that logistic support matters are considered in the selection and the
subsequent supply of the equipment and associated support materials, training and
documentation. The Contractor shall prepare and submit to NSPA a detailed Integrated
Logistic Support (ILS) Plan, detailing how the ILS program will be completed.
6.1.2 The Contractor shall also conduct and submit to NSPA a tailored Logistic Support
Analysis (LSA) to demonstrate that the ILS requirements of this SOW are fulfilled. The
Availability, Reliability and Maintainability data, Maintenance Plan, Spares & Pack-Up
Kit (PUK) Lists, Tool Lists, Training needs analyses and Life Cycle Cost Estimate shall
be part of this LSA. The Contractor shall initiate manufacturing of materiel only after
NSPA have reviewed and agreed to the LSA, and provided formal notification to
Contractor in that respect.
6.1.3 The ILS Plan and the LSA shall carefully consider the requirements described in
following paragraphs of this SOW Chapter 6.
6.2 Equipment Operational Usage Profile and Equipment Reliability Requirements

6.2.1 The User intends to operate the equipment continuously for six (6) months in every four
(4) year period under operational conditions described in the SOW. This period could
be extended up to one (1) year. For planning purposes, this 6 month to 1-year period
assumes 24 hours per day 7 days per week usage. During this timeframe, the
equipment shall be capable of meeting its design performance, with no component
failures or down time due to planned or unplanned maintenance that is not correctable
through system redundancy or that is not repairable and returned to full service within 8
hours. However, for critical functions (Mortuary) there shall be no interruption of power
supply that cannot be fixed within 15 minutes by repair or redundancy. There shall be
no product failure that could result in a mission failure.
6.2.2 During each deployment, the reefers may be transported by various transport means
(air, rail, road, sea). On a typical mission, the trip will include up to 1,500 km drive on
various terrains to the first set-up location. As the camp is mobile, up to 2 relocations
may occur during the 6 months’ period, adding road movement of 1,000 km. Once the
mission will end, the reefers may be moved an additional 1,500 km back to their
storage location (4,000 km in total, 80% on paved roads). During movements, the
reefers shall be capable of meeting their design performance, with no component
failures or down time due to planned or unplanned maintenance that is not correctable
by the user within 30 minutes. There shall be no failure that could lead to a mission
failure (i.e. immobilization of the reefer, safety issue or significant downgrading of the
performance (more than 20%)). The road profile is described in paragraph “Test,
Verification and Validations”.
6.2.3 During the remaining period of the 4-year cycle, the equipment will be used for field
exercises every 6 months for periods up to 8 weeks (including one setup and one
teardown) during which it shall meet the same operational availability requirements as
Page 43 of 87
NATO UNCLASSIFIED
NATO UNCLASSIFIED
AUTHORIZATION
when deployed on operation. It can be assumed that these training exercises are
scheduled at equal intervals over this period. The maintenance programme shall be
defined to satisfy this operational profile.
6.2.4 The 4-year cycle will repeat 5 times during the 20-year lifespan of the equipment. The
equipment shall therefore withstand up to 40 deployments or exercises and the
equivalent of 5 years’ continuous operation.
6.2.5 The Contractor shall achieve these requirements through the design and provision of
equipment that includes reliable components, sparing recommendations, supportive
maintenance routines and schedules, and optimum training. The performance of the
equipment shall be maintained during its twenty (20) year lifespan with no more than
one (1) overhaul per sub-system. Overhauling might be justified to meet the number of
operating hours or the number of kilometres requirements but shall not be necessary to
meet the 40 setup and teardown requirement. This shall be achieved under the
operational conditions outlined above while operating in the environments described in
this SOW and considering the transport means that will be used for deployment. This
shall be demonstrated by objective evidence.
6.3 Equipment Availability, Reliability and Maintainability
6.3.1 The Contractor shall demonstrate that the equipment and associated items provided
are satisfying the availability, reliability and maintainability requirement of this SOW.
The Contractor shall provide objective evidence to support this claim with historical
performance known or expected reliability data (Mean-Time-Between-Failures, Failure
Rate, Mean-Time-to-Repair, Mean Time Between Maintenance, Mean Down Time,
etc…), maintenance and spares feedback data over a period equivalent to 1-year
continuous deployment. The Contractor shall provide information regarding how the
data was obtained.
6.4 Supportability.
6.4.1 The proposed equipment shall be proven in a military or a comparable industry, where
it has demonstrated deployed supportability characteristics (i.e. supported with no or
little off-site assistance).
6.4.2 The equipment shall be logistically supportable under design conditions for an expected
operational life of 20 years. This equates to 5 cycles, each of 4 years’ duration with the
profile of use described in this SOW. This means for a period of 20 years after delivery
and acceptance:
a) The equipment, with planned routine maintenance and normal repair, shall continue
to meet the design performance parameters when operated under design conditions.
b) The Customer shall be able to obtain all necessary spare parts, components and
technical expertise.
c) The Contractor/ Manufacturer shall have a configuration management system in
place and shall be able to advise the Customer of all engineering changes, changes
in part numbers and source of availability.
d) The ILS Plan shall be formulated with a view to minimizing logistic support costs
while meeting the best practices in that field.
6.5 In-Service Maintenance.
Page 44 of 87
NATO UNCLASSIFIED
NATO UNCLASSIFIED
AUTHORIZATION
6.5.1 When the equipment is deployed, maximum allowable down time to fix a fault or
conduct planned maintenance shall not exceed 8 hours. Time to report to the site,
complete diagnostics, and make the repair and test the system shall be included in the
8-hour maximum. If system redundancy can allow a component to be non-operable
without deterioration in system performance, this limit may be exceeded.
6.5.2 The in-service materiel support concept for the equipment shall be a combination of in-
house and commercial support, distributed in three organizational levels. When
deployed, the technical support personnel in the military unit shall be responsible for
maintenance. When not deployed, the equipment shall be stored at the RNLA facility
in the Netherlands and maintenance and supply support shall be conducted by trade-
certified personnel. Where the complexity of the work exceeds the capability of this
personnel, or the cost of necessary support equipment is excessive, the Contractor
shall recommend overhaul or repair service at his factory, or at other commercial repair
establishments, or using his field service representatives if justified by the value of the
equipment repair.
6.5.3 The Contractor is required to assign all necessary preventive and corrective
maintenance to the appropriate maintenance “level” as described hereafter:
a) Organic Level Maintenance (OLM) - Preventive maintenance or repair work
including all tasks a system user has to execute to keep the system operational
within the capacity of the deployed Operation and Support Units. Under these
condition, maintenance tasks require no specific skills, a limited amount of spares
and tools, a limited amount of time and no more than a single system user. These
tasks can be also conducted when the equipment is deployed. It shall be possible to
perform common tasks outdoor on field conditions in any climatic environment, in
particular in cold climate by people wearing arctic clothes. Design for reliability and
second level maintenance should avoid unexpected failures in the field, but if a
critical component fails, the deployed personnel shall be able to repair or replace that
unit.
b) Intermediate Level Maintenance (ILM) - Work normally done at the User’s facility or
nearby dealer. It is work of longer duration, conducted with more specialized tools in
a more conducive work environment, and within the skills of contracted support.
These tasks include all maintenance above OLM level and necessary to prevent or
repair defects on the system in such a manner that right after this maintenance the
system continues to fulfil the requirements as outlined in the Programme of
Requirements, taking into account that:
- Maintenance tasks may exclude repair of defects of the system resulting from
incorrect use, abuse or an external cause
- Maintenance tasks may exclude modifications to the system
- Maintenance tasks are such that these tasks can be executed at the location where
the system is located at that moment (without additional transportation)
c) Depot Level Maintenance (DLM) - This includes both preventive and corrective
maintenance and major repairs and overhauls that cannot be completed by the 2 nd
line unit. This work will be conducted by the equipment supplier or other designated
repair facility. All DLM, repair, or overhaul works include:
Page 45 of 87
NATO UNCLASSIFIED

- Maintenance tasks to repair defects caused due to incorrect use, abuse or an

external cause
- Maintenance tasks due to modifications to the system
- Maintenance tasks to repair components replaced during maintenance tasks at ILM
level
- Maintenance tasks regarding service-life-extending overhauls
6.5.4 All maintenance tasks, part of the Maintenance Plan, are described containing at least
the following aspects:
- Task number
- Task description
- Maintenance level
- Preventive or corrective maintenance
- Maintenance interval (frequency)
- Required skills and manpower
- Execution time
- Required spare parts and consumables
- Required (special) tools & test equipment
- Diagnosis and test procedure
6.5.5 For information purposes: Within the Defence organization, the maintenance activities
are split into three different levels according to the Levels of Repair and Analyses
model (LORA) as shown in the following figure:

6.5.6 The Contractor shall provide Maintenance Plans (MP) for each item of equipment
where planned maintenance is required to meet operational and sustainability
requirements. MPs shall include all preventive maintenance routines and planned
major overhauls for 20 years’ life cycle. Periodic inspections, post-deployment
cleaning, pre/post-storage preparation, condition monitoring, time-based parts or
Petroleum Oil and Lubricant (POL) replacement, etc., are also included as preventive
maintenance routines. (CDRL 19)
6.5.7 The systems shall be equipped with the appropriate devices allowing the users to
define, in a precise and reliable manner, when the maintenance shall be performed (i.e.
if the periodicity is defined in operating hours, the equipment parts such as generator
set and chiller shall be fitted with a meter recording hours run).
6.5.8 MPs shall also clearly identify when specific maintenance or care is required depending
on the environmental conditions.
6.6 Life Cycle Cost Estimate
6.6.1 As part of the LSA, the Contractor shall provide a detailed yearly cost estimate based
on the 20-year profile of use of this equipment that will include the follow-on support
