Obsolescence Management. The contractor recognizes that under the terms of this contract its responsibility includes early identification of the part obsolescence issues and the mitigation of the impact to the supply availability metric. Accordingly, the contractor shall establish an ongoing post production support obsolescence/Diminishing Manufacturing Sources (DMS) management program which will monitor the availability of parts or components and identify part obsolescence issues for the hardware on the contract. The Contractor shall use healthy analysis reports to assess potential risk and develop an obsolescence strategy, and determine the most cost-effective solution to part obsolescence issues. Solutions to address obsolescence conditions may include, but are not limited to the following:

a. Locating/Developing alternate/new sources of supply/manufacture.

b. Life of Type procurement for future requirements. To avoid costly redesigns, the contractor and/or Government may decide to take advantage of buyouts through the process of lifetime buy, bridge buy, die banking, and extensive components broker network, defined as follows:

• Lifetime Buy - The process of buying soon-to-be obsolete material from the vendor to cover all foreseeable production needs.

• Bridge Buy - The process of buying soon-to-be obsolete material from the vendor to cover the production needs through the redesign effort.

• Die Banking - The process of buying large quantities of microcircuit die and storing for future use (requires packaging before use).

• Broker Network - A parts search service that specializes in finding obsolescence material stockpiles.

Advance notification to the Government is required in order to develop timely technical and acquisition plans of action. The contractor shall notify the Government Procuring Contracting Officer and the Government technical person via email as soon as the part obsolescence issues are identified to items on the contract any time during the contract period of performance. The email notification shall include the name, the part number and the supplier name of the parts or components that are identified to be obsoleted and the date of the last-time buy. The Government may use this information to identify and secure funding to pay for required effort to overcome the identified obsolescence issues should the Government desire to do so.

Obsolescence Status Report. The contractor shall submit to the Government a quarterly obsolescence status report in accordance with the guidelines of the CDRL for DI-MISC-80711A and this Technical Requirement Document for the duration of the contract. The contractor shall include information in the report that elaborate on its actions to identify potential obsolescence issues, provide detailed findings describing new obsolescence issues and discoveries, provide brief outlines of potential alternatives to overcome the specific issue to include estimated cost of each, any impact to current delivery schedules and if there is an impact, their plan to maintain the production lead time of scheduled deliveries and the future requirements of NSNs under this contract.

NOTE: In the event of incompatibility between a 'common' or 'standard' part and a mating part, preference shall be given to correcting the incompatibility by changing the mating part.

r. Other Discrepancies. The following discrepancies may be uncovered during the PE review. While the contractor is responsible for submitting ECPs to propose corrections to the discrepancies, such ECPs will not be submitted as PE ECPs, but as described below.

1) Overspecified and nonessential requirements. When overspecified or nonessential requirements are identified, the contractor shall submit an ECP proposing the elimination or modification of the nonessential or overspecified requirements in accordance with the 'Configuration Management' provision of this contract. If significant savings are anticipated, the contractor shall submit the change as a Value Engineering Change Proposal (VECP) in accordance with the 'Value Engineering' provision of this contract.

2) Design Deficiencies. While it is not the intent of the Government to transfer full design responsibility to the contractor, it is recognized that the PE effort may require some design effort on the part of the contractor. In the event that the contractor discovers a conflict between the specified performance requirements and the construction characteristics specified by the technical data, the contractor shall immediately submit an ECP in accordance with the 'Configuration Management' provision of this contract. Such ECPs shall be identified as 'Basic Design Deficiency' ECPs, and shall describe the alleged design deficiency, the basis for the contractor's conclusion that it is not a PE compatibility discrepancy and the proposed change that will correct the deficiency.

s. Subcontracting of PE. If any item described by the Government-furnished technical data should be subcontracted, one of the following tasks shall be performed by the contractor:

1) This Production Evaluation requirement shall be made a part of the subcontract. The prime contractor is responsible for assuring that the subcontractor complies with the Production Evaluation requirements. Submission of ECPs to the Government shall be made only by the prime contractor.

2) Production Evaluation responsibility will be retained by the prime contractor, and all approved

PE ECPs will be provided to the subcontractor for incorporation on hardware. In this situation, the contractor will prepare and submit a letter to the Procuring Contracting Officer within seven

(7) days of award of the subcontract. This letter will identify the item that has been subcontracted without the PE clause and state the contractor's intention of retaining Production Evaluation responsibility for the subcontracted item.

t. Alternate Changes. The Government reserves the right to direct an alternate change to a PE ECP.
