3.5 Testing/Verification. The Government plans to conduct testing to ensure the E-

CRRC is able to meet the performance specification requirements, as follows:

3.5.1 First Article Test. The Government will conduct FAT in accordance with FAR 52.209-4, First Article

Approval-Government Testing to verify the E-CRRC meets all Government requirements in the Performance

Specification. The Government intends to use Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division, Detachment

Norfolk (NSWCCD DN) for FAT testing. The Contracting Officer will notify the Contractor, in writing, of the conditional approval, approval, or disapproval of FAT. If FAT is approved, the Contractor will be authorized to proceed into production. The notice of conditional approval or disapproval shall not relieve the Contractor from complying with all requirements of the specifications and all other terms and conditions of this contract.

All production quantities submitted after approval of the First Article Test shall be produced using the same raw material suppliers, materials, processes, procedures, equipment and facilities that resulted in the manufacture of the acceptable First Article Test items. This includes all raw materials and/or sub-components. Contractors desiring to make changes to approved First Article Test items, to include raw material supplier and production processes, must request in writing and receive written approval from the Contracting Officer prior to use. The Contracting Officer, along with the Government Project Officer, will determine if the request is approved or disapproved and if a new

First Article Test is required.

3.5.1.1 Conditional FAT Approval. If the Contracting Officer authorizes a Conditional FAT Approval, requirements that have been met with exceptions during FAT and any failures noted during FAT not relating to mandatory source items (e.g., workmanship issues on the E-CRRC, labeling issues) shall be corrected prior to the start of production. After receipt of a Conditional FAT approval letter detailing FAT findings, the Contractor shall deliver a Failure Analysis and Corrective Action Report (FACAR), which must be approved by the Government prior to the Contractor beginning production. All costs related to any additional FAT testing that may be required shall be borne by the Contractor. After correction of all issues, the Contracting Officer will issue a final FAT approval letter authorizing the Contractor to proceed into production.

3.5.1.2 FAT Disapproval. If the FAT is disapproved, the Contracting Officer will detail the findings in the

FAT Disapproval Letter. After receipt of a FAT Disapproval Letter, the Contractor shall deliver a FACAR addressing the findings, which must be approved by the Government prior to the Contractor beginning production.

All costs related to any additional FAT testing that may be required shall be borne by the Contractor.

Failure Analysis Corrective Action Report (FACAR) – CDRL A015

3.5.1.3 First Article Test Methods. The Government will conduct FAT in accordance with

FAR 52.209-4 First Article Approval – Government Testing (clause is included in full text in Section I of this contract), the E-CRRC Performance Specification, and the FAT Plan. The Contractor shall submit in-process manufacturing certifications of compliance.

Certificate of Compliance – CDRL A016

3.5.2 Confirmation Testing. After approval of FAT, any changes below the product baseline may require a Government approved confirmation test. Additionally, any proposed changes in equipment/tooling (hardware or software) replacement or modifications, equipment additions, and changes in equipment location will require Government approved confirmation testing. The Government will determine if additional testing is required and what that additional testing will encompass based on the scope of the change.

Contractors shall notify the Government in writing in advance of any planned changes.

3.5.3 Nonconformance of First Article. At the Contractor’s expense, the Government will return any FAT article failing to meet requirements as described in the Performance Specification and FAT Plan, to the Contractor, who shall submit plans for the corrective action or disposition to the Government for approval. Disposition will depend on the nature of the failure and the discussion in the FACAR. NSWCCD DN shall document results of the test and the retest in the test report and submit to the Government for review and approval. If the retest results in a failure, NSWCCD DN shall notify the Government immediately. In the event of a test or retest failure, the

Government will share test/retest results with the Contractor and the Contractor shall prepare a FACAR for submission to the Government.

A sample form including the elements referenced above is included as Attachment J.03 to this contract. Contractor format for the FACAR is acceptable; however, the Contractor shall also include a discussion of the following elements in the form to assure that all actions are completed and verified appropriately:

a. Problem Description – A detailed, specific description of the problem including how many items contain the problem as well as when, where, and how the problem was discovered.

b. Containment Actions – Detailed explanation of the quantity of suspect products in the failed lot at the Contractor’s facility including the method of quarantine, quarantine identification, method of certification against the problem and certification identification (e.g., if product is screened and bad product is removed, good product is re-packaged and the package has a green

“certified” label adhered to it). Specify the quantity of products in transit, including method of notification to the recipient, a proposed method of certification against the problem (e.g., return authorization, Contractor to go on-site and rework or screen product), and a method of certification identification. Detail the quantity of suspect products in the Customer’s possession, including the return authorization, details of quarantine, and certification upon receipt into the

Contractor’s facility, or details of any arrangements made for quarantine and certification at the

Customer’s facility.

c. Root Cause Analysis – An explanation of why the failure happened (the root cause) and an explanation of why the failure escaped detection prior to FAT.

d. Root Cause Verification – An explanation of what actions were taken to assure the true root cause of the failure was found (i.e. could not be something else). Explain in detail what actions were taken to assure the true root cause was found.

e. Corrective Actions / Verification of the Actions – Discuss each corrective action individually as it relates to the root cause. Discuss how each corrective action relates to non-detection of the problem. For each problem identified by the Contractor, the Contractor shall list each individual action taken, the date of action implementation, and proof that the action taken eliminates the problem. Additionally, the Contractor shall describe what quality assurance procedures would have detected the problem, the date the Contractor will implement those actions in the future, and proof the action taken eliminates non-detection of the problem. Lastly, list if any mechanisms that will help an equipment operator to avoid mistakes were implemented for this problem and provide details. If none implemented, explain why not.

f. Standardization and Control – An explanation regarding document updates such as Process

Control Plans, Process Flow Diagrams, Visual Aids, Work Instructions, Operating Procedures, Training Methods/Records, and Preventive Maintenance Plans.

g. Verification of Corrective Actions – An explanation of the methods to verify the corrective actions are effective and will remain effective in the long term. Provide the number of trials with corrections in place, measurements, inspections, etc., including data on the number inspected vs.

number of subject defects found.

Failure Analysis Corrective Action Report (FACAR) – CDRL A017

In the event of a conformance inspection failure, the Contractor shall submit a FACAR for each. The Government will not consider accepting failed lots until the Contractor resolves the failure to the Government’s satisfaction.

Government acceptance of a FACAR does not imply acceptance of a failed lot. Acceptance of failed lots is at the discretion of the Government. After lot failure, the Contractor’s production is at its own risk unless the PCO directs the Contractor in writing to discontinue production.

The Government has a right to revoke acceptance of any and all items potentially containing the root cause failure mode and to require the Contractor to replace the failed units or correct the failure mode at its expense. If the PCO approves the FACAR, the Contractor may perform any such action at destination or otherwise return the affected items to another location subject to the PCO’s approval. Transportation costs to and from the Contractor’s in this instance will be at the Contractor’s expense.

When the Contractor has shipped products from a failed lot, the Contractor shall notify the PCO in writing, with copy to the Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO) and Program Manager (PM) representative. The notification shall indicate the nature of the failure and shipments, to include consignees, date of shipments, carriers, waybill numbers, and quantity. The Government reserves the right to return the shipments or any portion thereof to the

Contractor at Contractor's expense.

3.5.4 Quality Management System. The Contractor shall have a Quality Management System (QMS) that meets the requirements of Quality stated in FAR 52.246-11, Higher Level Contract Quality Requirement, to ensure the product conform to contractual requirements.

The Government reserves the right to audit products and processes, as well as the QMS at any stage of contract performance. The Contractor shall make available all quality management documentation for the Government’s review upon request.

The Contractor and subcontractors shall calibrate all test, inspection, measurement, and diagnostic equipment, to include all accessories and ancillary equipment in accordance with ANSI/NCSL Z540.3-2006 or equivalent. The

Contractor shall provide a Certification of Conformance (CoC) or equivalence within ten working days of the contract award.

The Contractor shall provide CoCs and supporting test data for all components and material performance as stated in the Detail Specification to DCMA at the time it presents FAT samples for Inspection and Acceptance. The

Contractor shall attach all CoCs and supporting test results to the DD1222.

3.5.4.1 Subcontractors and Suppliers. The Contractor shall be responsible for work performed by its subcontractors and suppliers, including any inspections and tests. The Contractor shall convey to its subcontractors and suppliers all applicable quality requirements; associated specifications; and all contractual requirements applicable to the component, materials, and spare parts. The Contractor shall also verify its subcontractors and suppliers’ compliance for the contracts period of performance. The Contractor shall allow the Government to enter the Contractor’s or any subcontractor or supplier facility for the purpose of audits, production surveillance, verification, and observation during contract performance. The Government’s right to audit, conduct production surveillance and verification, or observe performance does not relieve the Contractor of its contractual obligations.

3.5.4.2 Quality Manual/Quality Program Plan. The Contractor shall establish and maintain a Quality Manual compliant with the requirements of ISO 9001:2015 or higher Industry Standard for QMS. The Contractor shall submit the Quality Program Plan/Quality Manual for Government review and acceptance as specified in the CDRL.
