3.3. Engineering and Quality Requirements
3.3.1. General CAD/PLM Requirements
3.3.1.1. Model Based Definition (MBD)
All 3-D models, modified or created, for this contract (excluding tooling models) shall be accomplished and delivered in Siemens NX format with complete history and parametric data
[CDRL A023, CDRL A024]. All tooling models, modified or created for this contract, shall be delivered in Siemens NX format with complete history and parametric data unless otherwise approved by the Government. All CAD models shall be modeled according to the A10 3-D
Modeling Specification #11-A10DOC-004, existing 2-D drawings, loft data (AF released loft surfaces), and other controlling documentation. Models shall be required for all temporary and permanent fasteners; models shall be developed in coordination with the A-10 SPO. The version of Siemens NX used by the contractor shall be the same as the version used by the A-10 SPO and shall be concurrently updated to match the version used by the A-10 SPO when the A-10
SPO moves to a new version.
The prime contractor may use a translator to convert between NX and IGES/STEP in support of their subcontractors, however, the prime contractor shall demonstrate the translation process to the Government and obtain Government authorization to proceed before manufacturing to the converted 3-D Model. For a translator to be authorized, the contractor must show that the delivered 3-D Model contains all of the necessary information required to accurately produce parts as defined in the original NX model. The translator will be demonstrated, but it is not required to be delivered to the Government. The 3-D models shall define product configuration per ASME Y14.41 Model only (aka “Model Based Definition”) in lieu of drawings.

Section “5.2.1. Governmental Rights.”
3.3.1.2. PLM Data Linking and Submittal
The prime contractor shall acquire, maintain, and administer a PLM server with necessary hardware and software to load and manage the GFI provided TDP. Original TDP supplied using
Siemens Teamcenter/NX.
The prime contractor shall provide a PLM data linking plan [CDRL A008] defining how the
PLM database will maintain links from the TDP to the serialized components of the newly manufactured wing components. In addition, the plan shall define the process to transfer the applicable CDRL data to the Government during the physical delivery of each wing.
3.3.2. Quality Assurance
Quality control processes are critical to providing consistent, conforming product, to minimizing non-conforming product, and to meeting delivery schedule requirements. Full scale durability testing of the ATTACK Wing Assembly is not a requirement, because the prime contractor will be producing a derivative wing assembly that has already demonstrated fleet performance.
Therefore, it is critical that the prime contractor demonstrate their ability to practice exceptional quality control processes. The ATTACK Wing Assembly manufacturer shall be AS9100 certified. Subcontractors and vendors supporting production of the Wing Assembly shall also be
AS9100 certified (or equivalent as approved by the Government) with quality control processes compatible with the prime contractor. The prime contractor shall demonstrate consistent supplier oversight, detection of non-conformances, communication of findings from subcontractor to prime contractor engineering and program management personnel, and communication of findings (along with the scope of the finding, proposed disposition, and any other justifications) to the Government for disposition.
3.3.2.1. Quality Assurance Plan
The prime contractor shall provide the Government a Quality Assurance Plan (QAP) [CDRL
A017]. The QAP shall define the quality control processes used by the prime contractor and their suppliers to ensure the ATTACK wing assembly meets TDP requirements including dimensional accuracy, material selection, and process compliance. The QAP shall address how production escapes, non-conformances, and product quality defect reports are to be handled. The
Government shall review and approve the QAP prior to the prime contractor producing first article detail parts. The Government shall approve the QAP, including all revisions, prior to use.
Subcontractor/Partner Quality Requirements
The prime contractor is responsible for ensuring that all subcontractors, partners, and sub-tier subcontractors/partners meet the prime contractor’s quality system requirements. This includes the ability to provide transparency of non-conformances from the point of discovery to the point of delivery to the Government. The prime contractor shall demonstrate subcontractor/partners compliance with the prime contractor’s quality system requirements to the Government. The means of verification shall include audits of the quality system compliance as well as physical on-site audits of the subcontractor/partner’s processes, procedures, records, facilities, etc., as needed.
Independent Government Audit
The prime contractor, subcontractors, and partners are subject to independent Government or
Government directed audits at any time to assure procedures and processes are followed.
3.3.2.2. Critical Safety Item (CSI) Requirements
Subcontractors and prime contractor shall adhere to AFI 20-106 “Management of Aviation
Critical Safety Items.”
3.3.3. Design Changes
The prime contractor may choose to request changes to the TDP, or in certain circumstances, find that changes to the TDP are necessary. All changes to the TDP shall be approved by the
Government prior to incorporation according to the Prime contractors CM Plan [CDRL A027].
This is not applicable for production tooling TDP changes. The prime contractor shall have design authority over the production tooling with data (as required per paragraph 3.4.1.2 and its subparagraphs) and design rights transferring to the Government upon program completion.
3.3.3.1. Reasons for TDP Changes
Materials, Processes, and Manufacturing
While many updates to the Legacy configuration have already been incorporated (e.g. process specification updates, sheet metal consolidations, substituting machining for forgings where appropriate, etc.), the prime contractor may identify materials, processes, or manufacturing methods within the TDP that are not cost effective due to improvements in technology or are non-preferred. In these cases, the prime contractor may propose alternative design and/or process specification changes for approval as referenced in SOW Section “3.3.3.3. TDP Change
Process”.
Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS)
Because sources of supply for all material and parts have recently been established, it is not expected that obsolete materials will present a challenge to the contractor. If an obsolescence condition is discovered, the contractor shall document the specific case and provide an alternative solution to the Government as referenced in SOW Section “3.3.3.3. TDP Change
Process”.
Proprietary Requirements
If the prime contractor identifies any proprietary requirements (e.g. process specifications, material specifications, etc.) within the TDP where a non-proprietary alternative doesn’t exist, they shall document the specific case with the exception of MMS5039 and PS14295 noted below. They then shall provide a non-proprietary alternative solution (e.g. redesign, alternate non-proprietary process specification, etc.) with a technical justification to include analysis or test data, if applicable, to the Government as referenced in SOW Section “3.3.3.3. TDP Change
Process”.
The following specifications will not be provided with the Technical Data Package due to proprietary rights (list may not be all inclusive):
MMS5039 Nylon Powder
PS14295 Fabrication and Assembly of Selective Laser Sintered Nylon Materials
Errors, Inconsistencies, Problems within the TDP
If errors, inconsistencies, or problems within the TDP are encountered, the prime contractor shall document the specific case and provide a solution to the Government in the form of TDP change request as referenced in SOW Section “3.3.3.3. TDP Change Process”.
3.3.3.2. TDP Change Requirements
Any changes to the TDP proposed by the prime contractor shall meet the following requirements:
Design changes shall not adversely affect other areas of the structure or require additional structural inspections.
Design changes shall not adversely affect wing/aircraft reliability, maintainability, supportability, or increase overall life cycle cost.
The ATTACK Wing Assembly shall be capable of flying 10,000 flight hours prior to the first
Scheduled Structural Inspection based on the current usage severity (known as Reconfigured
Post-Desert Storm Severe Spectrum).
Durability of Fatigue and Fracture Critical (F&FC) and CSI parts shall not be adversely affected.
All Interchangeability and Replaceability features, as defined in the TDP, shall be maintained forwards and backwards with any proposed changes.
Stiffness variations shall be held to less than 5% incrementally across the wing span. This shall require analytical justification.
Design changes are limited in scope such that the ATTACK Wing Assembly remains a derivative wing assembly (e.g. material alloys, product forms, and production technologies consistent with original production) thereby requiring no additional full-scale durability testing.
Design changes and their analyses shall include no proprietary information, or shall include a non-proprietary alternative if proprietary information is included.
Analysis Requirements
When desired changes to the TDP require a stress analysis, the contractor shall perform a detailed stress analysis for each design change incorporated into the ATTACK Wing Assembly.
The contractor shall perform the stress analysis using critical design loads and conditions provided in engineering reports furnished by the government. The stress analysis shall demonstrate a positive margin of safety for the design. The contractor shall provide results of the stress analysis to the Government as part of the change request package. The Government has final approval authority for the engineering methods and material data used in the stress analysis.
When desired changes to the TDP require a Damage Tolerance Analysis (DTA), the contractor shall perform a DTA for any design change incorporated into the ATTACK Wing Assembly that affects F&FC or CSI parts. The DTA shall be performed using AFGROW DTA software version current within A-10 SPO (software not Government provided). This requires compliance to the requirements of MIL-STD-1530, JSSG 2006 and the use of specific material models, retardation parameters and other technical details provided by the government as referenced in
