Click Examples to edit of Master PBL Arrangements title style Several examples of PBLs demonstrate how arrangements can be structured to effectively meet stakeholder needs. Example Description Click to edit Master text styles PBL Commercial Support Provider PBL An arrangement in which the Contractor supplies commercial items directly to the end users. Customer requisitions are automatically routed through DoD s procurement system directly to the Contractor as a delivery order. The Contractor owns the inventory, determines inventory levels, has configuration control of the items, and must meet performance requirements. DoD pays the Contractor for performance (usually monthly). Reliability improvements, technology insertion, and reduced obsolescence are incentivized either through fixed-priced contracts or through performance fee. A contractual arrangement where the Contractor manages the inventory and determines inventory levels typically repairs F condition assets, and is required to meet specific performance metrics. Reliability improvements, technology insertion, and obsolescence management may be some of the inherent benefits of a full PBL. The Contractor is usually given Class II Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) authority and configuration management responsibility. 6
