SECTION C - DESCRIPTIONS AND SPECIFICATIONS

The following have been modified:

SECTION C

SECTION C – DESCRIPTION AND SPECIFICATIONS

NOTE 1: NON-ANTICIPATION OF INITIAL DEVIATIONS ON AWARDS

Offerors are reminded that any resultant contract will require performance in strict compliance with the specifications set forth therein, and that prices offered should not be predicated upon Contractor anticipation of Government authorization of deviations, even though such deviations may have been granted previously under other contracts for the same item.

NOTE 2: SPECIFICATIONS THAT DO NOT INDICATE SPECIFIC REVISION LEVELS ARE TO BE MADE TO THE REVISION LEVELS LISTED ON THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE INDEX OF SPECIFICATION AND STANDARDS IN EFFECT AT THE TIME OF SOLICITATION ISSUANCE.

1. DATA LIST / PART NUMBERS / DRAWING NUMBERS:

a. EXCEPTION to Drawing 1507AS201: (Approved Variance# FY19-V052) - For details refer to Technical Data Package (TDP).

2. SPECIFICATIONS:

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

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”. 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:

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. Contractors do not have MRB authority. Authorization to accept any nonconforming parts, subassemblies, or the end-item is specifically retained by the Contracting Officer.

Prior to submission of the lot to the Government for inspection and acceptance, all parts, subassemblies, and even the end item that undergo in-process screening for defects can be reworked under the direction of the contractor to ensure all parts meet the requirements of the Technical Data Package (TDP) and detailed specification.

If the contractor recommends, through an internal Material Review Board (MRB), to process defective parts, subassemblies, or the end item for use "as is", then the contractor will be required to submit a Request for Variance (RFV) to the Government for disposition, which shall be submitted per paragraph six(6) below. If a defect and/or non-conformance is discovered, which results in a failure of the item to meet the requirements of the TDP or detailed specification after the lot has been presented to the Government, then the contractor will be required to provide to the Government documentation such as RFVs, Discrepancy Reports(DR) related to contractor's MRBs, and/or rework procedures used to correct the deficiency (if applicable).

Rework of a lot to correct a deficiency after it has been presented to the Government may require the lot number and all the associated records to be changed, per the requirements of MIL-STD-1168.

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

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

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

SECTION C - IDENTIFICATION OF COVERED DEFENSE INFORMATION (252.204-7012)

1. In accordance with the DFARS clause at 252.204-7012, Safeguarding Covered Defense Information and Cyber Incident Reporting, the Contractor shall provide adequate security for all government and contractor owned Technical Data Packages (TDPs), drawings and item detail specifications on all covered defense information systems that support the performance of work under this contract.
