4.3.16 In-Process Review (IPR) of the TDP: The contractor shall host, support, and co-chair (at his facility) an IPR of the engineering drawings and associated lists and other documentation to be included in the TDP. The IPR shall be conducted only after the contractor's quality assurance personnel have completely reviewed the data and determined that data are of sufficient quality that Government time will be effectively utilized during the review. IPR may be scheduled when data has reached the 50% percent completion point and shall be held, when possible, in conjunction with other reviews (e.g., PDR, CDR). The contractor shall notify AFLCMC/WNY and 408 SCMS and AFLCMC/EZGEM a minimum of 30 business days prior to the anticipated date of completion point. The IPR shall focus on the contractor's progress in the preparation of the TDP. The contractor shall support and provide the necessary resources, e.g., meeting agenda, conference room, applicable data, minutes, and appropriate personnel available to answer any questions to perform the IPR effectively. The contractor shall correct all discrepancies identified in the IPR. All subcontractor/vendor data shall be made available for review. If the quantity of subcontractor/vendor data is of sufficient magnitude, the Government may schedule a separate IPR at the subcontractor's/vendor's facility.

4.3.16.1 Relationship of Contractor with Subcontractors/Vendors: The contractor shall levy on sub-contractors and sub-vendors the same requirements for TDPs as are levied on them by this contract. This requirement shall apply at all tiers of sub-contractor/vendor levels associated with the program, except for subassemblies where the supplier has asserted data rights or an unwillingness to develop and deliver a full TDP.

4.3.16.2 Engineering Data Updates and Revisions: The contractor shall (and shall cause subcontractors and vendors to) update and maintain engineering data for the item(s) designed/ developed/modified/produced by this contract for the life of this contract and shall incorporate all changes in accordance with the following:

4.3.16.2.1: All engineering changes shall be incorporated into the applicable engineering data within 90 business days after engineering release/Air Force concurrence or at intervals of five changes, whichever occurs first, except a change involving safety, which shall be incorporated immediately.

4.3.16.2.2: All engineering changes shall be incorporated into the applicable engineering data prior to delivery of data for review.

4.3.16.2.3: All engineering changes shall be incorporated into the applicable engineering data prior to delivery of final media (this includes all EO’s generated as a result of the preliminary data review.)

4.3.17 Restrictions on Use of Proprietary or Sole Source

The contractor shall not recommend proprietary or sole source components unless there is no alternative available. Any proprietary or sole source components recommended shall be explicitly identified at status and design reviews. The contractor must obtain written permission from the Government contracting officer prior to incorporation of proprietary data/components, etc. and submitted under the proper DFARS clause (DFARS 252.227-7).
