STATEMENT OF WORK

CONFIGURATION CHANGE MANAGEMENT DOCUMENTATION

(a) The contractor may submit Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs) and Requests for Variance (RFVs) for the requirements in the Government provided Technical Data Package (TDP). The contractor shall prepare and submit ECPs, NORs, and RFVs as required by the accompanying DD Form 1423, Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL). If a Value Engineering Change Proposal (VECP) clause is included on this contract, VECPs shall be submitted in the same manner as ECPs.

(1) ECPs - The contractor may request a permanent change to the requirements specified in the TDP or any other baseline documentation by submitting an ECP. ECPs shall be submitted to include all Notices of Revision (NORs) necessary to completely define the requested change. Each ECP shall be accompanied with at least one NOR per affected document. The contractor shall not present any production items for acceptance incorporating any change to the TDP or other baseline documentation until notified by the Government the ECP has been approved and incorporated in the contract.

(i) Page 1 of DD Form 1692 (or equivalent) shall be submitted for all ECPs. Pages 2-7 of DD Form 1692 shall be submitted when required to properly explain all the potential logistics and technical impacts of the proposed change. DD Form 1695 NOR or DD Form 1695-1 Tabulated NOR (or equivalents) shall be submitted to completely describe the desired change on each affected document.

(ii) All ECPs submitted by the contractor will be routine priority unless otherwise justified. If the contractor considers the ECP to be emergency or urgent, they shall include justification within 48 hours of submittal of the ECP.

(2) RFVs - The contractor may request to temporarily depart from a requirement specified in the TDP or any other baseline documentation, by submitting an RFV. RFVs may be submitted either pre-production (formerly known as Request for Deviation (RFD)) or post-production and prior to acceptance by the Government (formerly known as Request for Waiver (RFW)). DD Form 1694 (or equivalent) shall be submitted for all RFVs. The contractor shall not present any production items for acceptance with any nonconformance to the requirements in the TDP or other baseline documentation until notified by the Government the RFV has been approved and incorporated in the contract.

(b) Submission of requested changes - The submission of an ECP or RFV by the Contractor does not affect the required delivery dates specified within the contract, shall not constitute excusable delay in the performance of this Contract by the Contractor or in any way relieve the contractor from compliance with the contract delivery schedule. If a delivery date change is needed, it must be negotiated with the Contracting Officer and documented via modification to the contract. The submission of an ECP and/or RFV by the Contractor shall not preclude the Government from exercising its rights under any clause of the Contract.

(c) Specifications - Permanent proposed changes to specifications which are part of the TDP or baseline documentation shall be requested with an ECP and NOR (i.e. Specification Change Notices (SCNs) are not required).
