1.0.3 Government/Contractor Relationship

1.0.3.1 The services to be delivered under this Contract are non-personal services and the parties recognize and agree that no employer-employee relationship exists or will exist under the Contract between the Government and the Contractor's personnel. Therefore, it is in the best interest of the Government to provide both parties a full understanding of their respective obligations.

1.0.3.2 The Contractor employees shall identify themselves as Contractor personnel by introducing themselves or being introduced as Contractor personnel and displaying distinguishable badges or other visible identification for meetings with Government personnel.

Parts and materials shall not be purchased from unauthorized sources (e.g. independent distributor or broker) unless there is no other means for procurement. In isolated cases when an unauthorized supplier is the only possible choice for procurement, an Unauthorized Supplier Purchase Report (CDRL A009) shall be provided to the Contracting Officer and program office.

The report shall contain the following information:

• Reason why an authorized supplier or original component manufacturer (OM) could not provide the part or material

• Product certificate of conformance with traceability to the OM, if available

11.1.2 Counterfeit Parts and Materials

The Contractor shall provide a Counterfeit Prevention Plan (CDRL A010) that documents procedures to minimize the risk of procuring and/or using counterfeit parts and materials. This plan shall be in accordance with DFARS 252.246-7007 Contractor Counterfeit Electronic Part Detention and Avoidance. Solicitations and subcontracts for all suppliers shall contain a requirement for procedures to minimize the risk of procuring and/or using counterfeit parts and materials.

11.1.3 Containing Counterfeit Parts and Materials

Suspect counterfeit parts and materials shall be impounded with all other items from the same lot. The contractor shall identify and locate all potential users or hardware items with the suspect part or material, and contain product which has this suspect product, pending confirmation of the part or material’s authenticity. The OM may be involved at this point in order to verify authenticity. Confirmed counterfeit material shall be contained and provided to investigative agencies for ongoing investigation or prosecution. The counterfeit product shall not be scrapped or otherwise disposed of without approval from investigative authorities or the program office. Confirmed counterfeit product shall not be returned or handled in a way which would allow its resale or reuse. Suspect counterfeit parts or materials whose authenticity (or lack of) cannot be definitively determined, shall be dispositioned via Material Review Board (MRB).

11.1.4 Reporting Counterfeit Parts and Materials

The prime contractor and program office shall be notified of the occurrence of a suspect or confirmed counterfeit part or material, and the actions taken to identify, contain, and impound all product from the lot. The contractor shall also contact the OM, and supplier if applicable. The contractor shall initiate and submit an ALERT to the Government-Industry Data Exchange Program (GIDEP) within 60 days of knowledge of the counterfeit part or material. The contractor shall notify the appropriate parties to document the case for legal action if required (e.g., contracting officer, DOD Office of Inspector General).

11.1.5 Nonconforming Material and Parts

Electrical components which fail during production or acceptance testing shall be assessed to determine if the supplier of the part was an authorized supplier for the manufacturer. Analysis of these failures shall include assessment of part authenticity (potential of being counterfeit or fraudulent).

Distributor); (ii) not be or contain Counterfeit Items or Suspect Counterfeit Items, as defined below; and (iii) contain only authentic, unaltered OM labels and other markings. Seller shall obtain and retain all documentation required to fully trace the distribution and sale of the goods delivered hereunder back to the relevant OM, and, on request of Buyer, shall provide such authenticating documentation. Counterfeit Item means an unlawful or unauthorized reproduction, substitution, alteration, or the false identification of grade, serial number, lot number, date code, or performance characteristic, that has been knowingly mismarked, misidentified, or otherwise misrepresented to be an authentic, unmodified item from the OM, an Authorized Distributor, or an Aftermarket Manufacturer as defined in SAE AS5553 “Counterfeit Electronic Parts;

Avoidance, Detection, Mitigation, and Disposition” (Authorized Aftermarket Manufacturer).
