The specialist leads supply-chain strategy, provisioning, and sustainment planning; analyzes spares, inventory, material readiness, and program risks; and advises program leadership on supply-related contract actions and sustainment decisions. The role provides technical expertise and recommendations across the 12 product support/integrated logistics support (ILS) elements, identifies supportability concerns and recommended courses of action, and coordinates complex issues among engineering, maintenance, depot, OEM, supplier, and other stakeholders. The position also supports logistics requirements and documentation for PWSs, RFPs, CDRLs, and CPARS inputs; prepares budget estimates and evaluates cost, schedule, performance, and risk; contributes to program reviews, briefings, meetings, and working groups; and tracks action items. Additional work includes assessing logistics impacts of proposed changes, conducting RAM-D/S and supportability analyses, monitoring interim contractor support, tracking supply requirements, supporting maintenance-concept development, and reviewing Support Equipment/Automatic Test Systems programs and related SERDs.
