3.4.8.2 AIE Calibration and Verification. The calibration system shall be in accordance with ISO 10012 or ANSI/NCSL Z540.3. All AIE shall be subjected to scheduled calibration intervals to ensure that the equipment will accept only conforming product and reject all non-conforming product for the duration of the approved calibration period. AIE shall be subjected to periodic verification to ensure that the equipment will continue to accept and reject product with the same consistency as it did at the time of its previous calibration.

3.4.9 Non-Destructive Testing (NDT). Contractor shall submit detailed plans for qualifying and certifying NDT personnel and plans for qualification and ongoing use of NDT methods used for inspecting product.

Each application technique shall identify the standard(s) utilized. Non-destructive testing includes, but is not limited to, the following types of testing: Radiography/Radioscopic, Ultrasonic, Eddy Current, Magnetic Particle, and Liquid Penetrant.

3.4.10 Contractor Alternate Inspection Method(s), Modifications and/or Relocation of AIE (Non-Automated) After Government Approval. If the contractor proposes an alternate inspection method and/or modifies the AIE design(s) affecting hardware, software, or procedures after Government approval the intended change(s) shall be submitted in accordance with CDRL A005 and approved by the Government prior to implementation. If an AIE is relocated and the relocation risks the integrity of the inspection system, notify the Government to determine information needed to assess impact to AIE.

3.4.11 Responsibility for AIE Package Submittal. The contractor shall submit the AIE design documentation package within contractual timeframes in accordance with CDRL A005. The Government will provide approval or disapproval within the timeframe specified in the CDRL.

Disapproval of the AIE package will require re-submittal and subsequent Government review in accordance with the CDRL requirements. The AIE package and any required prove-outs must be approved prior to First Article (FA) (if required) or production start-up if FA is not required.

3.4.12 Government’s Right to Disapprove AIE. The Government reserves the right to revoke approval of any AIE that is not satisfying the required acceptance criteria at any time during the performance of this contract. See DD Form 1423.

6.0 CONTROLLED UNCLASSIFED INFORMATION

The Contractor may be required to handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). There are numerous types of CUI, e.g. documents with limited distribution statements, documents marked as For Official Use Only (FOUO), etc. The minimum level of protection for all CUI is adherence to FOUO protection standards. Distribution Statements (DS) and warning labels, such as the Arms Export Control Act Warning, identify additional protection requirements for a given document. Minimum FOUO protection requirements/controls applicable to the performance of this contract for CUI are listed below. Additional protection requirements, as marked on a given CUI document, are in addition to the standards listed.

(1) Handling/Storage: Access to FOUO is limited to those needing it to conduct official business for the Department of Defense (DoD). FOUO information is not classified information, but requires extra precautions to ensure it is not released to the public. During business hours, reasonable steps shall be taken to minimize risk of access by unauthorized personnel. After business hours, FOUO information shall be stored in unlocked containers, desks, or cabinets if Government or Government-contracted building security is provided. If it is not, store in locked desks, file cabinets, bookcases, locked rooms, or similar items.

(2) Transporting/Transmitting/Release/Destruction: FOUO information shall be transported in a manner that prevents disclosure of the contents. FOUO information may be sent via USPS first-class mail, parcel post, or – for bulk shipments – 4th class mail. Electronic transmission of FOUO information (voice, data, or facsimile) shall be by approved secure communications systems. Transmission via unsecure fax is acceptable if an authorized person is standing by on the receiving end to take custody. All emails containing FOUO or attachments with FOUO must be digitally signed and encrypted when transmitted within a Navy network or to an approved Contractor email address. Transmission of FOUO (i.e. any CUI) to personal email accounts (e.g. AOL, Yahoo, Hotmail, Comcast, etc.) is strictly prohibited. FOUO sent out of the Contractor’s facility electronically must be encrypted (DoD FIPS 140-2 standard).

FOUO material shall not be released outside the Contractor’s facility except to representatives of DoD. When no longer needed, destroy FOUO by a method that precludes its disclosure to unauthorized individuals.

(3) Markings: Unclassified documents (paper or electronic) generated in support of this contract which contain FOUO are to be marked “For Official Use Only” at the bottom on the outside of the front cover (if any), on each page containing FOUO information, and on the outside of the back cover (if any). Each paragraph containing FOUO information shall be marked as such.

Within a classified document, an individual page with both FOUO and classified information shall be marked at the top and bottom with the highest security classification of information appearing on the page. Individual paragraphs shall be marked at the appropriate classification level, as well as unclassified or FOUO, as appropriate. Within a classified document, an individual page that contains FOUO information but no classified information shall be marked “For Official Use Only” at the top and bottom of the page, as well as each paragraph that contains FOUO information.

Other records, such as photographs, films, tapes, or slides, shall be marked “For Official Use Only” or “FOUO” in a manner that ensures that a recipient or viewer is aware of the status of the information therein. DS on technical documents identify access restrictions.
