C-3.1.042m. PRODUCTION READINESS REVIEW

The Contractor shall successfully complete a Production Readiness Review (PRR) prior to the authorization by the Contracting Officer for the Start of Construction (SOC). SOC is defined as the commencement of steel-cutting for the ship. The purpose of the PRR is to demonstrate to the

Government that proper management, engineering, and production requirements are adequately defined and implemented, and that design maturity supports initiation of the construction phase. The Contractor shall notify the Government of the PRR date forty-five (45) days prior to PRR. The PRR shall be held at least fifteen (15) days prior to SOC. The PRR may coincide with a DR.

The PRR shall demonstrate the design is sufficiently mature to start construction, the flow of Production

Information will support production, and the status of material ordering, and delivery will support the proposed build schedule. Any potential risk areas shall be identified, and mitigation plans discussed. The

Government should be satisfied that all requirements specified in the Contract, Attachment J.1 Statement of Requirements, Attachment J.4 Scientific Mission Systems Specification, and references thereof have been incorporated into the design.

Within seven (7) days from the PRR, the Contracting Officer will notify the Contractor whether or not

SOC is authorized.
