  1. Gate Review Process presented at DODCAS 2009 DON Session CAPT Jim Baratta Deputy Director, NCCA

  2. Gate Review Process Overview • Purpose • improve governance and insight • ensure alignment between capability requirements and acquisition • improve senior leadership decision making • gain better understanding of RISKS and COSTS • Objectives • endorse or approve key JCIDS and acquisition documents • facilitate decisions regarding capabilities and material solutions • 2-Pass, 6-Gate Process • address Requirements and Acquisition governance respectively • EVERY GATE reviews program health – cost, risks, budget

  3. Gate Review BoardMembership • Principal (voting) members • CNO / CMC / VCNO / ACMC • ASN (RDA) / PDASN • ASN (FM&C) • OPNAV N8 / HQMC DC P&R and DC CD&I • Appropriate SYSCOM Commander • Advisory (non-voting) members • Resource Sponsor, CHSENG • N80, N81, N091, FMB • Cognizant DASN • DASN (C&E) • Attendance limited to Principal or Deputy (Flag/SES) plus one

  4. Pass 1 Gates • Gates 1, 2, and 3 “Requirements” Gates • Led by CNO or CMC • Starts prior to Material Development Decision, ends after Gate 3 • Leads to: • Approving the ICD • Approving AOA guidance • Selecting an AOA “optimal” alternative • Approving a CDD • Developing a CONOPS • Approving System Design Specification (SDS) Development Plan

  5. Pass 2 Gates • Gates 4, 5, and 6 “Acquisition” Gates • Led by ASN(RDA) • Starts after Gate 3, ends after Milestone B (initial EMD phase) • Leads to: • Approving the SDS • Approving release of the RFP • Assessing readiness for production • Assessing sufficiency of the EVMS PMB • Assessing the IBR • Follow-on Gate 6’s pre- and post-Milestone C and FRP DR • Serve as Configuration Steering Boards and review program health

  6. Pass 1 – Requirements Gates • Gate 1: Approval of the ICD • input: Service review of the ICD • brief: AoA assumptions, cost constraints and life-cycle considerations • outcome: Validates AoA guidance, authorizes to proceed to MSA phase • Gate 2: Approval of the preferred alternative • input: Approved ICD, AoA, “sufficiently mature” MS-A documentation • brief: AoA assumptions, analysis, findings, preliminary TRL assessment • brief: Projected life cycle costs for all AoA options • outcome: Approves development of CDD and CONOPS for alternative

  7. Pass 1 – Requirements Gates • Gate 3: Approval of the Service CDD and CONOPS • input: Approved AoA, SDS development plan • input: Service review of CDD/CONOPS, • supports LCCE(employment, sustainment, training, manning, etc) • brief: Initial independent cost estimate & schedule assessment • brief: Compare to PM estimates • outcome: Approves the CDD/CONOPS, SDS development plan • outcome: Approves program to MS-A (or with MS-B preparations)

  8. Pass 2 – Acquisition Gates • Gate 4: Approval of the SDS • may be combined with Gate 5 and MS-B for ACAT IC/IAC/II • input: Approved CDD, CONOPS, and review of SDS • input: Independent cost estimate, PM cost estimate, budget • brief: Capability, risk, independent/PM cost/schedule estimates • outcome: Authorizes program to proceed to Gate 5 (or Milestone B) • Gate 5: Approval of release of the RFP • may be before, concurrent with, or after MS-B • input: Approved SDS, key business elements in acquisition strategy • brief: Capability, risk, independent/PM cost and schedule estimates • outcome: RFP approval for release to industry

  9. Pass 2 – Acquisition Gates • Gate 6: Assesses readiness for production • occurs after contract award and IBR completion • input: Source Selection completed, contract awarded, IBR completed • brief: Capability, risk, independent/PM cost and schedule estimates • brief: Assesses IBR results, sufficiency of the SDS and EVMS PMB (EAC) • outcome: follow-on Gate 6 reviews prior to and post MS-C, FRP DR • Gate 6 follow-on: Pre-LRIP, Pre-FRP DR • “as needed” tailored approach • specific elements undefined in SECNAV 5000.2, same as Gate 6

  13. Gate Review ProcessPotential “Cost Community” disconnects? • How often are the program’s definition and bounds changing during the pre-MS-B timeframe? • What reliable data is available to estimate a program this early in its acquisition life cycle? • What documents are complete and approved leading up to each Gate? • To what extent are CAIV decisions still being made prior to RFP release? • Do “best practice” estimating methods allow significant cost estimate confidence at this point? • As the estimate progresses, in what “ballpark” should the estimate’s upper bound of range be expected to cover potential costs into MS-B? • How will the range and estimates be used to program a budget at this early phase in the program? • What value does an independent assessment add in the early “requirements” Gates?

  14. Questions? COST ANALYSIS Go Army!
