FAA STD- Appendix III (Criteria for Selecting Configuration Items)

Keywords appendix. configuration items FAA

30.4 General considerations
30.4.1 Need for configuration item identification
Selection of CIs is based on the definition contained in FAA Order 1800.8- an aggregation of hardware/software, or any of its discrete portions, which satisfies an end use function. CIs are those specification items whose functions and performance parameters must be defined and controlled to achieve the overall end use function and performance.

30.4.2 Level of government control
The CI must be manageable level of assembly. The selection of CIs is normally a function of anticipated design and should be independent of the concept for future-procurement. The selection process, which separates the elements of a system into individually identified subsets for the purpose of managing their development, usually limits the designation of CIs to major subsystem levels of Work Breakdown Structure, or to a critical item of a lower level, when so identified. CI selection reflects and optimum management level during acquisition. This level is one at which the procuring activity specifies, contracts for, and accepts individual elements of a system.
