About this file
This document is NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center's Procurement Quality Requirements specification, approved August 14, 2019, establishing mandatory quality standards for aircraft assemblies, parts, and materials supplied to the center.
Suppliers must deliver only compliant new, surplus, used, or repaired articles meeting all original design and manufacturing requirements for materials, processing, inspection, testing, non-destructive examination, marking, packaging, preservation, and transportation. Concessions require written authorization from Government Operations Engineering, procurement/project-specific Quality Assurance, or Contracting Officer's Technical Representatives. For each article, suppliers must provide manufacturer's part number with heat, batch, or serial numbers; manufacturer name, production date, and facility address; proof of serviceability via depot serviceable tag; FAA Parts Manufacturing Approval (PMA) or Technical Standard Order (TSO) authorization; FAA Form 8130-3 as applicable; identification of any articles from aircraft subjected to extreme stress, major failures, accidents, or non-U.S. operation; FAA Airworthiness Directive and manufacturer Service Bulletin implementation status; and identification of shelf-life components with expiration dates. All applicable material test reports, certifications, inspection results, and non-destructive examination documentation must be retained for at least 10 years and made available upon request.
Prime suppliers must employ competent and qualified personnel handling aircraft parts and maintain quality management systems such as AS9100, AS9120, ISO 9001, AS5553, or AS6081. Quality requirements must flow down to all sub-tier suppliers. NASA AFRC will monitor supplier performance through the Supplier Assessment System, Government-Industry Data Exchange Program, ERAI, non-conformance reports, and the Procurement Quality Assurance Database. Contractors must retain records per Federal Acquisitions Regulation subpart 4.7.
