Encl. (2) to COMDTINST 4130.6
(4) Less than a minimum support level for any of the ten Coast Guard recognized ILS
elements identified in enclosure (2) of reference (c) would adversely affect the project
schedule, or the operational capability of the system or component:
(5) Different activities have been identified to maintain various parts/components of a
system. Both the system and the parts/components should be designated as separate
CIs.
e
A Hardware Configuration Item. A HWCI is a CI that is comprised of material, such as
aircraft, minicomputers, microcomputers and peripherals, vehicles and their components
(mechanical, electrical, electronic, hydraulic, pneumatic). Unless specifically designated in
future instructions, minicomputers, microcomputers and peripherals are exempt from the
maintenance profile reporting and tracking requirements of CMplus.
f
Computer Software Configuration Item. A CSCI is a CI comprised of one software
component, or a CI comprised of an aggregation of software, such as an operating system,
office automation and application software. Unless specifically designated in future
instructions, operating systems, office automation and application software are exempt from
the maintenance profile reporting and tracking requirements of CMplus.
g Non-Developmental Item (NDI) or Off-the-Shelf (OTS). NDI and OTS is a broad generic
term that covers material available from a wide variety of sources with little or no
development effort required by the government.
3. Configuration Identification. Configuration identification is a process of CI selection,
determination, verification, and documentation of CIs. It also includes the labeling, numbering
and marking of CIs and related support documentation. Configuration identification is used to
incrementally establish a series of three definitive baselines, the FBL, ABL and PBL. This
ensures that all technical documentation describing the functional and physical characteristics
of CIs is complete, and that the verified technical documents defining the applicable
configuration baseline are current, approved and available for use when needed.
a
CIs are developed, identified and described by their configuration baselines.
b Configuration baselines are composed of approved configuration documentation including
all approved changes to that documentation.
