Offerors must satisfy nine qualification requirements to become an approved source: submit a pre-qualification notice to the Government Small Business Office; certify facilities, testing, and inspection capabilities; verify possession of the complete ESA-approved Technical Data Package including all procedures, drawings, and specifications; demonstrate manufacturing compliance with the Technical Data Package and Unique Identification requirements per IAW DFARS 211.741; prepare and submit a qualification test plan for Government approval, conduct testing at their own expense with at least 30 days advance notice, and submit a complete test report; provide a pre-contract award qualification article for Government evaluation or submit a waiver; and achieve full qualification before contract award. The estimated qualification cost is $5,275.00 and the estimated time required is approximately 365 days. Offerors who cannot meet these standards by the contract award date will not be delayed; the award will not be postponed to allow vendors time to demonstrate qualification. The document also outlines six Source Qualification Waiver Criteria that may exempt offerors from some or all qualification requirements, with "X Removes" indicating that one waiver criterion has been eliminated from consideration for this procurement.
