ES7034.pdf

This document is a federal contract clause (ES7034) dated January 2012 governing rework and repair procedures for nonconforming material in government contracts. The clause defines two key processes: (1) Rework - reprocessing nonconforming material to fully conform to contract specifications, and (2) Repair - reprocessing material to reduce or eliminate nonconformance while bringing it into a usable condition without completely meeting all original requirements.

The clause mandates specific procedural requirements for contractors, including: documenting rework and repair procedures, submitting them to the Government Quality Assurance Representative (QAR) for review, using DD Form 1694 for repair procedure approvals, and providing descriptions of nonconformance causes and prevention strategies. Additionally, the procedures must include reinspection provisions and demonstrate that reproccessing requirements have been met. This requirement applies to contractors, their suppliers, vendors, and subcontractors as a supply chain flow-down requirement.
