3.2 First Article Units

The Contractor shall fabricate and deliver five (5) first article units for each of the part numbers listed in

Section 1.0 IAW the enclosed drawing package, substituting IPC/WHMA-A-620C where Northrop mailto:william.waterhouse@navy.mil

Grumman Corporation specifications are referenced. The first article units shall be delivered within eight weeks of contract award for Government evaluation (early delivery is acceptable and encouraged). The

Government may choose to procure additional production quantities after Government approval of the first article units. The Contractor shall not proceed with production of follow-on quantities until authorization is provided by the Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO).

3.3 Quality Assurance

The Contractor shall have in place a production quality assurance (QA) system. This QA system shall be able to ensure that manufactured configuration items are built to print, functional, and reliably made IAW controlling technical drawings, specifications and standards. Each item manufactured as part of this contract shall have passed a Government final inspection prior to DD-250.

3.4 Certificate of Conformance

The Contractor shall provide a Certificate of Conformance (COC) with each shipment certifying that each item within the lot conforms to the government drawing package, this SOW, and the requirements of the contract. The COC shall be on company letterhead and signed by management. Each COC shall identify the part number, serial numbers, and quantities delivered with each shipment. If any items are found to be non-conforming, they shall be replaced at the Contractor’s expense.

3.5 Government Inspection and Acceptance

Government Inspection and Acceptance of the first article units shall be performed by the MQ-8C Fire

Scout Program (inspect/accept at Destination). Government Inspection and Acceptance of all subsequent production units shall be accomplished at the source by representatives of Defense Contract Management

Agency (inspect/accept at Origin).

3.6 Item Unique Identification (IUID) Marking of US Military Property

In accordance with DFARS Clause 252.211-7003 Item Identification and valuation, the Contractor is required to mark and register all end items and their components meeting the requirements called out in

MIL-STD-130N. These include components for which the Governments unit acquisition cost is $5,000 or greater, or any component, subassembly or embedded part that is serially managed, mission essential or a controlled inventory item.

3.6.1 Construct and Method

Details on creating the UID and the marking method are contained in MIL-STD-130N. The UID may be either UID Construct #1 or Construct #2 with Construct #2 being the preferred method.

3.6.2 UID Location and Marking

The locations and marking methods selected should bear no impact on the performance of the part and minimal configuration change(s) to the part. The UID (including 2D Matrix) should be incorporated onto the data plate in accordance with Drawing# 3909AS9999 Rev B (Identification Plate/UID Markings). If the

2D matrix can't be incorporated onto the data plate, a 2D matrix sticker can be applied onto the main data plate provided it can be done without covering any critical data. When the 2D Data Matrix is placed directly onto the data plate, the Part Number, Serial Number and CAGE human readable characters are not required.

If the above cannot be accomplished, a separate data plate can be attached which contains the 2D Matrix plus the human readable characters for the Part Number, Serial Number and CAGE. This added data plate should be attached in close proximity to the main data plate.

3.6.3 Permanency and Legibility

The UID marking and identification plates, tags, or labels when used on equipment, parts, assemblies, subassemblies, units, sets, or groups shall be permanent during the normal life expectancy of the item and be capable of withstanding the environmental test and cleaning procedures specified for the item. Legibility shall be as required for ready readability as per MIL-STD-130N.

3.6.4 UID Registration

The prime Contractor has the responsibility to furnish Item Unique Identification (IUID) data to the IUID registry. Data submission of IUID data and acquisition cost should be via Wide Area Work Flow (WAWF), IUID XML file, IUID flat file or web entry. Additional information regarding data submission as well as the actual marking can be found at <http://www.acq.osd.mil/dpap/UID/>.

3.6.5 Records

The Contractor shall maintain an accurate, current list of UIDs for all manufactured items on this contract and supply to the Government upon request. The list shall include P/N, Serial #, CAGE, UID Location, Construct used, how it was marked and the registration method used.

3.7 Packaging, Preservation and Shipping

Packaging and preservation for shipping shall be IAW best commercial practices for long term preservation. Shipments shall be packaged and transported (FOB Destination) via safe, secure, reliable, and traceable means of transportation and provide protection from normal climatic/weather conditions and incidental mishandling during shipping to prevent any damage or loss during shipment.
