About this file
This document contains NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center's Procurement Quality Requirements, specifically addressing certification of conformance and quality assurance terms and conditions, approved August 14, 2019.
The Certification of Conformance section establishes mandatory requirements for suppliers and manufacturers shipping products under NASA Armstrong contracts. Suppliers must certify contract and order conformance with each shipment, verify acceptability of all articles through inspections, tests, audits, and process controls, and provide full traceability from source or manufacture. The certification must identify the contract and line item numbers, manufacturer's part number, heat/batch/serial numbers where applicable, shipped quantity and unit of measure, and bear the legible signature and title of a duly authorized officer or quality representative. The document includes the standard FAR 52.246-15 Certificate of Conformance clause (April 1984), which permits contractors to ship supplies with a signed certificate when authorized in writing by the Contract Administration Office, eliminates the requirement for inspection at source, and preserves the Government's right to reject defective supplies within a reasonable time after delivery at the contractor's expense.
The Procurement Quality Assurance Terms and Conditions require prime suppliers to ensure competent and qualified personnel handle aircraft parts and flow NASA AFRC quality requirements down to sub-tier suppliers. Prime suppliers must maintain or ensure sub-tier suppliers maintain quality management systems such as AS9100, AS9120, ISO 9001, AS5553, or AS6081. NASA AFRC will monitor external provider performance through the Supplier Assessment System, Government-Industry Data Exchange Program, ERAI, non-conformance reports, and the Procurement Quality Assurance Database. Contractors must retain records in accordance with FAR subpart 4.7 and permit NASA AFRC interaction regarding performance control, monitoring, and any verification or validation activities at external provider locations.
