QC-01 B QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS FOR ONSITE SUBCONTRACTS

(Feb 2018)

All work activities, including the purchase and inspection of any provided items intended for permanent installation (or spares), items ultimately intended for off-site shipment such as waste containers etc., or calibrated portable Measuring & Test Equipment (M&TE) being used in testing/calibration of permanently installed equipment, will be governed by the following sub-clauses that are marked with an "X":

D In accordance with CONTRACTOR's responsibilities under DOE Order 414.1 D, Quality Assurance and 10 CFR 830 Subpart A, Quality Assurance Requirements, SUBCONTRACTOR'S Quality Assurance (QA) Program is required to be evaluated for the capability of providing items/services in accordance with subcontract technical and quality requirements prior to award, and is required to be approved by CONTRACTOR prior to the start of work (as further defined/controlled in the subcontract).

SUBCONTRACTOR QA Program approval documentation will be maintained on file with CONTRACTOR. SUBCONTRACTOR will perform all work under this Subcontract in accordance with its approved QA Program and further will notify CONTRACTOR of any quality affecting changes made to its QA Program, whereupon CONTRACTOR will determine need for re-evaluation/re-approval. SUBCONTRACTOR'S QA Program shall be subject to ongoing evaluation and monitoring by CONTRACTOR and shall address configuration control of subcontract requirements, including CONTRACTOR approval of substitutions and configuration control of any provided CONTRACTOR procedures, specifications, or items. SUBCONTRACTOR agrees to provide CONTRACTOR and/or DOE/NNSA the right and access to conduct audits of SUBCONTRACTOR'S quality systems and verify compliance with subcontract requirements as well as the right to conduct inspection and/or testing of SUBCONTRACTOR'S product to assure conformance with subcontract requirements. Any SUBCONTRACTOR proprietary processes must be specifically identified in writing in order to prevent disclosure. Unless otherwise provided for in this subcontract, SUBCONTRACTOR is responsible for including (i.e. flowing down) the quality assurance requirements of this subcontract in its lower-tier subcontracts to the extent necessary to ensure SUBCONTRACTOR'S compliance with these requirements.

Consistent with a graded approach to the LANL QA Program, it is acceptable for SUBCONTRACTOR to directly procure/supply items as necessary in support of the scope of this Subcontract. SUBCONTRACTOR owned/leased Measuring and Test Equipment (M& TE) which requires calibration and is used on-site at LANL for determining LANL item/process acceptability must be coordinated with the LANL Standards & Calibration Laboratory (S&CL), if LANL item/process acceptability determination includes M& TE enrolled in the LANL S&CL program. As defined in LANL procurement quality procedures, any SUBCONTRACTOR supplied stand-alone circuit breakers and fasteners, and/or hoisting, lifting, and rigging equipment intended to be installed at LANL or otherwise remain at LANL for future use (i.e. spares), must have an Inspection Plan (Form 1952) completed by LANL project personnel and receive documented LANL QPA Division receipt inspection approval prior to installation. Unless otherwise provided for in this subcontract, no other exceptions to the LANL QA Program are allowable unless specifically defined in an approved LANL Compensatory Action Plan.

Unless otherwise provided for in this subcontract, SUBCONTRACTOR is responsible for including (i.e.

flowing down) the quality assurance requirements of this subcontract in its lower-tier subcontracts to the extent necessary to ensure SUBCONTRACTOR'S compliance with these requirements.
