3. For Contractor part number, Contractor SHALL submit Product Baseline in accordance with DD1423, sequence number A001.

SECTION C – CONFIGURATION CONTROL: SAE EIA-649 (NAVY STOCK CLASS 1377) (APR 2017)

1. Configuration Control - The Contractor shall maintain the total equipment baseline configuration. For items of proprietary design, Contractor drawings showing the latest assembly configuration shall be provided to the Government in electronic format.

2. Variances – Requests for Variance (RFV) - RFVs shall be designated as Critical, Major, or Minor.

RFVs shall be in Contractor format and shall include information outlined in SAE EIA-649 section 5.3.4.1 and SAE EIA-649-1 section 3.3.2. DD Form 1694 is the preferred format for RFV submissions.

Note: A copy of the preferred RFV Form DD Form 1694 is available at:

http://www.dtic.mil/whs/directives/forms/dd/ddforms1500-1999.htm Additional guidance for completion of RFV can be found at the Attachment “Request for Variance Form 1694 Additional Guidance Rev A dated 4 30 18”. This attachment is incorporated by reference with the same force and effect as if contained herein.

The Contractor's assigned RFV number shall use the following numbering format:

a. The last four alpha-numeric characters of the contract number followed by a dash (-).

b. The letter "D", followed by consecutively assigned numeric characters beginning with 001.

Definitions: (See SAE EIA 649 and MIL-HDBK-61 for additional guidance on critical, major and minor classifications.)

Critical: Critical variances impact safety, health, environment, or other critical requirement. A departure from a requirement classified as critical in configuration documentation.

Major: Major variances have significant impacts such as performance or operational limits, structural strength, interchangeability, reliability, survivability, maintainability, durability of the item or repair parts, supportability, cost, effective use or operation, weight or size, or appearance. A departure from a requirement classified as major in configuration documentation.

Minor: Minor variances are issued when departure does not involve any of the factors listed for critical or major variance. Minor variances have little or no impact and are generally associated with non-functional factory defects that can be dispositioned locally as: “use as is” or “after suitable repair”. A departure from a requirement classified as minor in configuration documentation.

3. Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) - The Government will maintain configuration control and change authority for all modifications or changes affecting form, fit, function, or interface parameters of the Equipment and its sub-assemblies. ECPs shall be designated as Major (Class I) or Minor (Class II). The use of DD Form 1692 is acceptable for ECP submissions. ECPs may also be prepared in Contractor format and shall include information outlined in SAE EIA-649 section 5.3.1.4. MIL-HDBK-61 provides additional guidance for preparation of ECPs.

The Contractor's assigned ECP number shall use the following numbering format:

a. The last four alpha-numeric characters of the contract number followed by a dash (-).

b. The letters "ECP", followed by consecutively assigned numeric characters beginning with 001.

Definitions: (See SAE EIA 649 and MIL-HDBK-61A for additional guidance on Major (Class I) and Minor (Class II) classifications.)

Major (Class I):

a. A change that affects specified and approved requirements for product attributes, including safety, reliability, and supportability.

b. A change, after establishment of the product baseline, that affects compatibility with interfacing products, including such products as test equipment, support equipment, software, and products furnished by a customer or that affects one or more of the following::

- required calibration to the extent that product identification should be changed

- interchangeability or substitutability of replaceable products, assemblies, or components

- change to add a previously non-qualified supplier, where supplier selection is specified

- requires retrofit of delivered products http://www.dtic.mil/whs/directives/forms/dd/ddforms1500-1999.htm

Minor( Class II): Affects configuration documentation (released design information), product or processes but does not affect Major Change Criteria.

4. ECP changes to Contractor drawings: Minor (Class II) and Major (Class I) ECP changes shall be approved by the Navy Configuration Control Board (CCB) and technical approval authority prior to implementation. Contractors may use their own numbering format for ECP changes to Contractor drawings. Minor (Class II) ECP changes are defined as changes that do not affect the form, fit, or function. Minor (Class II) affects configuration documentation (released design information), product or processes but does not affect Major Change Criteria. Major (Class I) ECP changes are defined as changes that affect the form, fit, and/or function, and/or requirements, performance, interoperability, supportability, maintainability, cost, safety, addition of a vendor, or a vendor moves facility and the item has not been qualified at that site.

Definitions:

Form: the shape, external size, and marking which uniquely characterizes an item.

Fit: the ability of an item to physically interface or interconnect with and become an integral part of a higher level assembly.

Function: the action[s] that an item is designed to perform including performance, durability and safety.

The following are examples of Major (Class I) changes with regard to function

a. Change to energetic material

b. Change to component material or material properties

c. Change to electrical characteristics.

d. Change in ballistic performance.

If the Navy technical approval authority does not approve the ECP submitted by the Contractor, then the Contractor is required to revert to the Government approved revision of the drawing per the approved product baseline or to the revision used in the prior lot accepted by the Government. The Government reserves the right to invoke First Article Testing (FAT) per paragraph 2 of “Section E-CAD/PAD Inspection and Acceptance”, or require the Contractor to undergo qualification testing.

5. Contractors do not have MRB authority. Authorization to accept or rework any nonconformance is specifically retained by the Contracting Officer. The contractor's MRB shall not make any "use-as-is" or "rework" disposition on any nonconformance, and the MRB recommendations shall be submitted per paragraph six (6) below.

6. The Contractor shall submit an electronic copy of any ECP or RFV to the Contracting Officer, Local DCMA QAR, and the technical activity below:

a. Local DCMA QAR

b. NAVSUP WSS Contracting Officer

c. NSWC IHEODTD CAD/PAD Division Acquisition Management Specialist (AMS)

7. Technical approval authority for RFVs and ECPs is NSWC IHEODTD, Lead CAD/PAD Engineer, Code E2CE.

8. Final approval of any ECP and/or RFV shall be in writing, by the Contracting Officer, NAVSUP Weapon
