QUALITY ASSURANCE

General The Vendor must maintain an inspection system which must insure that each item offered to the Coast Guard for acceptance or approval conforms to the contract requirements. The inspection system must be documented and available for review by the Coast Guard.

Records The Vendor must maintain records of all tests and inspections. The records at a minimum must indicate the nature and number of observations made, the number and type of deficiencies found, and the corrective action taken. A copy of the test certification, including any tests by outside vendors or tests of subcontracted materials, must be provided to the Contracting Officer Representative (COR) and the quality assurance inspector when issued.

Calibration System The Vendor must maintain a test equipment calibration program in compliance with ANSI/NCSL Z540.3-2006. The program must be documented and traceable to the National Institute of Standards (NIST).

Quality Assurance Plan The Vendor must maintain a Quality Assurance Plan in accordance with ANSI/ASQC Q9001-2008 which must insure that each item offered to the Coast Guard for acceptance or approval conforms to the contract requirements. The inspection system must be documented and available for review by the Contracting Officer/Quality Assurance Representative.

Tests and Inspections The tests and inspections as defined herein are the minimum required and are not intended to supplant any controls, examination, inspections or tests normally employed by the Vendor to assure the quality of the item in question. USCG Approved and current certified (IMO) equipment listed in the USCG Maritime Information Exchange (CGMIX) http://cgmix.uscg.mil/ are not required to undergo First Article Testing.

Responsibility for Tests and Inspections The Vendor is responsible for the performance of all test and inspection requirements as specified herein. The Vendor must provide space, personnel, and test equipment for the conduct of all inspection requirements. All testing and inspections must be performed at the Vendor’s plant or at other facilities acceptable to the Coast Guard. The Coast Guard reserves the rights to verify or have performed any of the inspections that are deemed necessary to assure that supplies and services conform to the prescribed requirements.

Responsibility for Compliance The tests and inspections identified herein must become part of the Vendor’s overall inspection system or quality program. The absence of any test or inspection requirement in the Specification will not relieve the Vendor of the responsibility of assuring that all products or supplies submitted to the Government for acceptance comply with all requirements of the contract. Sampling for quality conformance does not authorize submission of known defective material (either indicated or actual) nor does it commit the government to acceptance of defective material.

PRESERVATION, PACKING, AND MARKING

Each shipment of material shall be secured within the container to prevent damage during shipment. The Vendor must prepare a Preservation, Packaging and Marking Plan. The plan must be provided to the COR and discussed prior to the preservation, packaging and marking of the first delivery. The plan must identify all proposed markings of the packages. The Coast Guard reserves that right to witness the PP&M prior to shipment from the contractor’s facility.

The equipment unit and parts must be packaged suitable for shipment, temporary storage uncovered in the weather and then reshipment by the Government (within CONUS) to the installing activity.

· A packing list shall be prepared for each box or shipping container, identifying all items included in the box or shipping container, including OBRP, and their National Stock Numbers (if known). Where the material is packaged in more than one shipping container, or the shipping container contains other boxes or shipping containers with packing lists, a Master Packing List shall be provided and include how many containers or boxes comprise one unit.
