c. All configuration changes shall be submitted at least 60 days prior to Lot Acceptance Testing.

2. Variances – Requests for Variance (RFV) - RFVs shall be designated as Critical, Major, or Minor. The Contractor shall submit RFVs using RFV DD Form 1694 and shall include information as outlined in SAE EIA-649, Configuration Management Standard, and MIL-HDBK-61, Configuration Management Guidance, for additional guidance on preparation of RFVs.

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

https://www.esd.whs.mil/Directives/forms/dd1500_1999/ Additional guidance for completion of RFV can be found at the Attachment “RFV Form DD1694 Example Only dated 02/14/2023”. 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 seven alpha-numeric characters of the contract number followed by a dash (-).

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

Definitions of RFV Classifications: (See current SAE EIA 649 and MIL-HDBK-61, Configuration Management Guidance, 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) - ECPs shall be designated as Major (Class I) or Minor (Class II).The Government will maintain configuration control and change authority for all modifications or changes affecting form, fit, function, or interface parameters of the end-item and its sub-assemblies. 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. The DD Form 1692 is the preferred format for ECP submissions. ECPs may also be prepared in Contractor format, provided it fulfils the requirements of DD Form 1692, and shall include information outlined in SAE EIA-649 and MIL-HDBK-61, which provides additional guidance for preparation of ECPs.

ECPs submitted using DD Form 1692 shall use the following numbering format:

a. The last seven 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 of ECP Classifications: (See current SAE EIA 649 and MIL-HDBK-61 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

c. A change 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 of form, fit and/or function:

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.

Minor (Class II):

a. Affects configuration documentation (released design information), product or processes but does not affect

Major Change Criteria.

b. Changes that do not affect the form, fit, or function.

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.

4. Contractors do not have Material Review Board (MRB) authority. Authorization to accept “as-is”, rework, or repair any nonconformance is specifically retained by the Contracting Officer. The contractor's MRB shall not make any use "as-is", "rework" or “repair” disposition on any nonconformance, and the MRB recommendations shall be submitted per paragraph seven (7) below.

5. Rework and Repair are defined as follows:

a. Rework: The reprocessing of nonconforming material to make it conform completely to the drawings, specifications or contract requirements.

b. Repair: The reprocessing of nonconforming material in accordance with approved written procedures and operations to reduce, but not completely eliminate, the nonconformance. The purpose of repair is to bring nonconforming material into a usable condition. Repair is distinguished from rework in that the item after repair still does not completely conform to all of the applicable drawings, specifications or contract requirements.

6. 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/or detailed specification.

If the contractor recommends, through an internal MRB, to process non-conforming parts, subassemblies, or the end item for use "as-is" or “repaired”, then the contractor will be required to submit a Request for Variance (RFV) to the Government for disposition. If a 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.

7. 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 IHD CAD/PAD Division Acquisition Management Specialist (AMS)

2. Test samples are required from each production lot and are to be tested in accordance with the approved test plan.

A production lot shall consist of the net deliverable quantity plus additional lot test samples and any retained sample units for investigative purposes (if applicable) as detailed in section B.

3. The contractor is allowed to pre-select no more than 30% of the required production lot test samples per lot which have minor external cosmetic defects such as nicks, dings, scratches, paint blemishes, plating blemishes, and small burrs. These units can be used as pre-selected production lot test samples as long as the defects do not create an interference with the form, fit, or function of the unit and/or test fixture. The selection of the production lot test samples shall be noted in a discrepancy report (DR) identifying the item part number, DODIC, contract, lot number, serial numbers of the pre-selected units, and the cosmetic defects of each serial number. A copy of the DR shall be submitted to the Contracting Officer. A second copy of the DR shall be submitted to DCMA/QAR when presenting the production lot for random selection of the remaining lot test samples as stated in paragraph 4 below. The contractor shall also annotate the DR number in the remarks section of the ADC for the applicable production lot. This clause is only applicable to the production lot test samples and the external cosmetic defects mentioned above. If additional units with minor external cosmetic defects are part of the deliverable lot and the contractor would like for the government to accept those units "as is", then a RFV shall be submitted to the Contracting Officer for the determination of disposition for those non-compliant deliverable units.

4. The production lot(s) must be manufactured and presented to the Government Quality Assurance Representative (QAR) with all applicable. The documentation (WAWF-RRs and Ammunition Data Card printed from WARP) accompanying the production shall contain the contract number, item, lot number identification, DODIC, NSN, and serial numbers. The production lot test samples shall be selected, at random(unless following the exception noted in paragraph 3), from each production lot, by the QAR. The retains are considered part of the production lot test samples and shall also be selected, at random, from each production lot, by the QAR and identified as such.

NOTE: Sample units removed for testing from different lots shall not be commingled.

5. Production lot testing shall be performed by the Contractor within 30 calendar days of production lot sample selection. Production lot testing shall be witnessed by at least the cognizant QAR. A representative of the engineering activity may also elect to witness testing, therefore; the Contractor shall provide written notification to the Contracting Officer, with concurrent notification to the AMS in Section H, and the QAR, at least 10 working days prior to the planned testing date citing the lot number that is ready to be tested. If testing is cancelled within the 10 working day period, the contractor shall provide notification to the Contracting Officer, with concurrent notification to the engineering activity. At a minimum, cancellation notification shall be sent no later than two days prior to planned test date.

NOTE: If a failure occurs during testing and an engineering activity representative is not present, all testing shall be halted and the engineering activity and Contracting Officer shall be notified within 24 hours.

A Government representative shall be allowed to participate in the failure investigation in accordance with applicable CDRLs. Contractor testing shall resume upon notification by the Contracting Officer.

6. Disposition of Production Lot Test Samples – The production lot samples are subjected to Non-Destructive Test (NDT) depending on the requirements delineated by the TDP and/or item specification specified in section C.

The production lot test samples are also subjected to destructive testing. These units cannot be used to meet the total contract quantity.

7. A production lot test report is required and shall be submitted in accordance with the contract data requirement list (CDRL) DD Form 1423, sequence number A003_. The test report shall include all results of testing conducted in accordance with the approved test plan.

8. Acceptance, shipment, and payment shall not be accomplished until the production lot test samples have been tested, the required CDRLs received, and the lot has been released for service use. The retains for investigation purposes, if applicable, shall be shipped to the address provided in Section F of the contract after the lot has been released for service use.

9. The only valid and contractually binding notification of production lot approval, conditional approval, or disapproval shall be in writing and issued by the Contracting Officer. This notification shall be made to the Contractor within fifteen 15 calendar days after the Contracting Officer receives all applicable CDRLs.

Any CDRLs provided by the Contractor deemed to be inaccurate and/or incomplete after engineering review will automatically reset the notification of production lot approval, conditional approval, or disapproval. Upon receipt of the written approval accepting a production lot(s) and final approval of the Material Inspection Receiving Report in Wide Area Workflow (WAWF), the Contractor shall ship the production lot(s) as soon as possible and no later than fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt of such notice. Final acceptance of the production lot(s) shall be the responsibility of the cognizant DCMA QAR, but shall not occur unless and until the production lot approval has been issued in writing by the Contracting Officer.

a. Any notice of approval or conditional approval shall not relieve the Contractor from complying with all requirements of the specifications and all other terms and conditions of this contract.

b. A notice of conditional approval may state any further action required by the Contractor.

c. A notice of disapproval may cite reasons for such. In the event of a failure, the Contractor shall submit a Failure Analysis and Corrective Action Report (DD Form 1423, sequence number, A004) with all associated costs and expenses to be borne solely by the Contractor. “Failure” is defined as follows:

i. Any of the test samples failing to meet the requirements of the specification and/or drawing,

ii. Any of the test samples fracturing and/or exhibiting any cracks post-firing unless specifically designed to do so,

iii. A non-ignition or failure to fire.

10. At a minimum, the following is required:

a. Failure date

b. Failed part number (e.g. national stock number (NSN), logistics control number, work unit code)

e. Failure effects (e.g. none, degradation, abort)

f. Repair action (e.g. remove/replace)

g. Failure mode description

h. Failure mechanism/cause of failure

i. Contributing factors, including multiple factor interactions, or secondary effects of the failure

j. Corrective action required to mitigate the failure mode, including:

- Identification of the failure mode

- The recommended process or process control changes, when the failure cause is due to workmanship defects -Proposals for retrofit of all equipment already delivered or assembled, including recommended effectivity, in accordance with the contract

- Disposition of all defective material and material rendered obsolete because of any necessary redesign, to assure their exclusion from production items

-Identification of previous functional and environmental qualification tests, if any, invalidated by the corrective action changes and recommendation of those tests that should be repeated, in accordance with the terms of the contract, to demonstrate the corrective action’s effectiveness.

11. If the production lot test sample is disapproved by the Contracting Officer, the QAR may be required to select an additional production lot test sample(s) for testing.
