The Contractor's configuration control process shall be available for Government review.

Engineering Change Proposals. Engineering Change Proposals (ECP) shall be submitted by the Contractor, and shall be limited to those which are necessary or offer significant benefit to the Government. MIL-HDBK-61A, Section 6.2, provides guidance concerning the classification of ECP's. The Government will review each ECP upon receipt and notify the Contractor in writing of approval/disapproval. Major engineering changes prior to the establishment of the product baseline shall be approved by the Program Office and Contracting Officer at In Process Reviews (IPR). Technologies that reduce the overall system weight (without degradation of other performance characteristics), allow for the use of hardware-less retention systems, and/or increases performance, durability, and service life are a priority. ECPs will not be considered prior to contract award.

DI # A006: DI-CMAN-80639C, Engineering Change Proposal (ECP)

Requests for Deviation. The Contractor shall process Requests for Deviation (RFD) from current approved configuration documentation. Authorized deviations are a temporary departure from the requirements and do not constitute a change in an approved baseline. Submission of recurring deviations is discouraged and shall be minimized. Where it is determined that a change should be permanent, the Contractor shall process an ECP. MIL- HDBK-61 provides guidance concerning the classification of RFDs.

DI # A007: DI-CMAN-80640C, Request for Deviation (RFD)

Notices of Revision. The Contractor shall generate and submit Notices of Revision (NOR) concurrently with ECPs when technical documentation controlled by another Contractor or Government agency requires changes following approval of an ECP.

DI # A008: DI-CMAN-80642C, Notice of Revision (NOR)

ECP, deviations, or revisions may require a new FAT. Nearly all changes to the ballistic plate(s) will require a new FAT. FAT determination on a case by case basis.

10.6 ENGINEERING DRAWINGS

Product Drawings. The Contractor shall develop a complete product drawing package and provide it to the Government at FAT or with any approved ECP after FAT. This process may require the revision and update of existing drawings, and/or development of new drawings to meet the requirements of product drawings/models and associated lists. Revised and newly created drawings shall be developed to document any design change and shall reflect all changes resulting from Government approved ECPs. Existing, revised, and new product drawings and associated lists shall be used as the engineering data for procuring, controlling, and using materials, parts, and assemblies whether produced in-house or supplied by the Contractor. The drawings shall be used for the assembly, provisioning, inspection, testing, and configuration management of the materials, parts, modules, subassemblies, and assemblies of the equipment covered under this contract. The product drawings shall also include control drawings for all commercial off the shelf (COTS) items that do not conform to recognized Government or industry specifications, non-developmental items (NDI) and items developed at private expense for which the Government had not acquired unlimited rights. These control drawings shall provide the applicable performance specification of form, fit, and function and provide interface information needed for competitive re-procurement of that item or an interchangeable item. New product drawings/models shall conform to ASME Y14.100 and ASME Y14.34.
