b. Facilities, Testing, and Inspection Capabilities: The offeror must certify to the government that they have, or have access to, the required facilities and equipment to repair, inspect, test, package, and store the item. The offeror shall make their facilities, equipment, tooling, and personnel available for evaluation and inspection by the government.

c. Data Verification: The offeror must verify that they have a complete data package. This verification must include a complete list of all procedures, drawings, and specifications, including change notices. The offeror must have in their possession, at a minimum, the current revision of Applied Companies (CAGE 54080) Operations and Maintenance Manual, TM-AC242- 36-31B. The offeror shall show that they have access to the latest version of this manual and may also be required to produce copies of all other applicable procedures, drawings, or specifications.

d. Repair Process Verification: The offeror must repair this item to conform to the government requirements as prescribed within the ESA-approved engineering/technical data package. The offeror must show compliance with Unique Identification (UID) requirements in accordance with DFARS 211.274 as prescribed within the ESA-approved engineering/technical data package. The offeror must provide, at their own expense, data showing the results of all quality, performance, and environmental evaluations conducted by the offeror to show compliance with the government requirements as prescribed by 415 SCMS/GUMAB. The offeror shall also identify its sources for materials and its standards for internally used processes.

e. Test and Evaluation and/or Verification: The offeror, at their own expense, shall prepare and submit to 415 SCMS/GUMAB for their prior approval, a qualification test plan/procedure detailing how they intend to verify compliance with all performance, environmental, mechanical, and quality assurance requirements identified by the latest version of TM-AC242- 36-31B and associated documents. After completion of the approved qualification testing, the offeror shall be required to submit a complete test report of the results to 415 SCMS/GUMAB for their review and approval prior to the contract award. The test report shall describe in detail the point(s) in the repair process that testing occurred, and if failures are noted, the corrective action taken and the results of the retest. The government retains the right to exercise the option to inspect the testing processes, including on-site witnessing of any or all documented testing. To allow accomplishing this, the offeror shall notify the government at least 15 days in advance of the occurrence of any testing that will be used as a basis for qualification. The offeror’s facilities shall be made available for government inspection during these tests.

f. Qualification Article Verification: N/A

g. Qualification Requirement Cost Estimate: Estimated likely costs for testing and evaluation, which will be incurred by the potential offering party to become qualified are $0.00.

h. Qualification Time Completion Estimate: It is the estimate of the engineering support activity that completion of this qualification effort should require 60 days. This is based on complexity of the Air Conditioner and other factors.

i. Qualification Time Limitation: An offeror may not be denied the opportunity to submit and have considered an offer for a contract if the offeror can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the contracting officer that the offeror (or its product) meets these standards for qualification or can meet them before the date specified for award of the contract. The award will not be delayed to provide the vendor with an opportunity to demonstrate its ability to meet the standards specified in this qualification requirement.

j. Evaluation of Proposals Not Previously Qualified: The offeror must be fully qualified in order to be eligible for a contract award. Therefore, the offeror must fulfill all of the requirements stated, in writing, in the qualification requirement before the date specified for award of the contract. Once all requirements are met, the offeror will be listed as an approved repair source for this item. Approval, however, does not guarantee subsequent contract award.
