SECTION C:

1. QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS THAT MUST BE SATISFIED TO BECOME A QUALIFIED SOURCE

a. Prequalification Notice: The offeror shall notify the appropriate government Small Business Office or, if responding to a solicitation, the contracting officer in the appropriate government contracting office, of intent to qualify as a source for this Klystron Amplifier.

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. The test fixture shall provide the following interfaces to the UUT: prime power, transmitter serial, control data, transmitter serial status data, modulator trigger signal, and RF output termination and pressurization. The offeror shall be able to perform all tests as defined in Drawing SP9801 3550.

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, in the possession including, at a minimum DRS (CAGE 12339) drawing 1006 1530 and Commercial Manual 31P1 4 162 1. The offeror may also be required to produce copies of all 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. 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 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 Drawings 31P1 4 162 1 and SP9801 3550. Testing procedures shall follow those defined in Drawing SP9801 3550.

f. 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 Klystron Amplifier and other factors.

g. 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

12 Feb 2021 Section C 2/3 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.

h. 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.

2. SOURCE QUALIFICATIONWAIVER REQUIREMENTS

Sources who meet any of the following Source Qualification Waiver Criteria (QWC) may apply for a waiver of all or part of the qualification requirements. If a waiver is granted and the offeror is awarded a contract, the offeror may still be required to provide a post contract award first article exhibit to verify production capability:

a. QWC1: The potential source submits written certification that the articles have been repaired for the government or original equipment manufacturer (e.g., DD Form 250, Material Inspection and Receiving Report, Purchase Order invoice, etc).

b. QWC2: N/A

c. QWC3: A source qualified to repair an assembly is usually qualified to provide subassemblies, major components, and items of that assembly.

d. QWC4: A source qualified to repair earlier dash numbers of a basic P/N may be qualified to provide other dash numbers of that same basic P/N, provided there is no increase in complexity, criticality, or other relevant requirements.

e. QWC5: A source qualified to repair a similar or like item can be qualified to repair the required item. However, for approval, the engineering authority must verify that there is no increase in complexity, criticality, or other requirements over that of the similar item. At a minimum, the source shall provide a complete set of drawings for the similar item and written proof, such as purchase orders, shipping documents, etc., to show that the similar item was repaired for the original equipment manufacturer or DoD.

f. QWC6: A source previously qualified to repair an item, but which has been purchased, sold, merged, absorbed, reformed, split, etc., may qualify if it can be established that the qualification is currently with the requester and that the requester has the same or equivalent facilities, tooling, equipment, personnel, and utilizes the original forging, castings, etc., in the repair process.
