C.3.041.3.5.1 [Orig] The preliminary Product Configuration Baseline (p-PCB) is established by the

Contractor upon USCG acceptance of the technical data that represents the configuration of the first boat. The technical data shall include Contractor-formatted preliminary 3D model (in both native and

STEP format), and Contractor-formatted 2D drawing set (PDFs, native, and AutoCAD format) that reflects the as-built configuration.

C.3.041.3.6 [Orig] Product Configuration Baseline (PCB)

C.3.041.3.6.1 [Orig] The Product Configuration Baseline (PCB) is established upon adjudication of the

Physical Configuration Audit (PCA). The PCB consists of the complete technical data package as required in SOW Section C.3.085. The USCG will notify the Contractor once the PCB has been established.

C.3.041.3.6.2 [Orig] Once the PCB is established, configuration is under USCG control. The

Contractor shall not change or modify the configuration on any boat in production or any boat already in service without approval from the USCG. This includes change or modification during the completion of warranty work.

C.3.041.4 [Orig] Physical Configuration Audit (PCA)

C.3.041.4.1 [Orig] The USCG will conduct a Physical Configuration Audit (PCA) on a production-representative boat to verify conformance with the product drawings.

C.3.041.4.2 [Orig] The boat for the PCA will be designated by the USCG and will incorporate all approved changes identified during operational test and evaluation (OT&E).

C.3.041.4.3 [Orig] SOW Section 085’s product drawings will be used for the PCA. The product drawings shall reflect any changes incorporated into production as a result of OT&E. The Contractor shall provide one hard copy set at PCA.

C.3.041.4.4 [Orig] The USCG will conduct an audit at the Contractor’s facility, or an alternate facility agreed to by both parties, for the designated HSC-L. The physical boat will be compared to each product drawing and each product drawing will be compared to the physical boat to validate that documented details match. Any discrepancies between the physical boat and the product drawings will be documented in a USCG-generated PCA report.

C.3.041.4.5 [Orig] The PCA is scheduled to take no more than two weeks to complete. A Contractor representative is invited but not required to attend. The boat shall be prepared by the Contractor and accessible to USCG. The Contractor shall provide services to the boat to allow powering up of systems.

C.3.041.4.6 [Orig] The Contractor shall review the report and shall propose a resolution for each discrepancy. Resolution may be in the form of:

C.3.041.4.6.1 [Orig] The drawings are correct and the boats, including those already accepted, those in production, and the PCA boat, shall be corrected.

C.3.041.4.6.2 [Orig] The boat is correct, and the product drawings shall be revised.

C.3.041.4.7 [Orig] The Contractor shall prepare a PCA Resolution Report that shall identify a corrective action for each discrepancy to include anticipated dates when the actions will be completed.

C.3.041.5 [Orig] Configuration Control

C.3.041.5.1 [Orig] Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) - The Contractor can propose changes to the contract requirements, address DMSMS/obsolete, or to the design by submitting a DD Form 1692 supplied as Government Furnished Information (GFI). Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs) shall be in accordance with C.2.4(e).

C.3.041.5.2 [Orig] Request for Variance (RFV) - The Contractor may propose variance from a particular requirement of an item’s configuration baseline documentation for a specific hull or number of hulls, or for a specific period, by submitting a Request for Variance (RFV). An RFV differs from an engineering change because it does not require a change to the configuration baseline document but merely documents the authority for the specified hulls and their configuration documentation to differ from the baseline document. A DD Form 1694 supplied as Government Furnished Information (GFI) may be used. The

USCG will review RFVs. Upon acceptance in the form of a contract change, the Contracting Officer will authorize the Contractor to implement the RFV.

C.3.041.6 [Orig] Diminishing Manufacturing Sources/Material Shortages (DMSMS) and Obsolescence

C.3.041.6.1 [Orig] The Contractor shall be responsible for addressing Diminishing Manufacturing
