g) TRACEABILITY:

1) F-76 fuel supplied under this contract shall maintain traceability with respect to additives and materials, which is defined as the ability to trace the individual batch of fuel back to the original point of manufacture through documentation.

2) All traceability documentation shall be sufficient to guarantee that at no point have any unauthorized materials or additives been blended into the final product or any of its associated blend components per section 3.2 Material of MIL-DTL-16884P.

3) For all F-76 supplied, the traceability documentation shall consist of statement(s) attesting to the materials composition, which includes materials derived from non-petroleum sources, additives and their concentration levels.

4) If F-76 is produced by means of blending, the traceability requirement and documentation for additives and materials shall apply to each blending component used from the point of manufacture through the blend operation. Materials composition, additives mailto:Robert.morris@nrl.navy.mil and their concentration levels shall be included. The requirement and intent of traceability for blend components is not to obtain full certificates of analysis of each individual blend component, but for certification that no unapproved additives or materials are present in blend components used.

5) The form titled: “F-76 Traceability Signature Page” shall be used to document conformance with the provisions of this traceability paragraph. The offeror/supplier shall comply with this requirement utilizing one of the three options below and notification shall be provided to both the contracting office and PQIS@dla.mil during the pre-award phase which option was chosen for compliance. Documents provided in conjunction with individual shipments shall be uploaded into Wide Area Work Flow as attachments under the quality tab.

OPTION 1 – As part of the offeror submission package the offeror shall provide the traceability signature page from each entity in the supply chain providing and/or handling F-76 product and/or blending components all the way back to the point of manufacture. For each individual shipment, the supplier will submit a traceability page signed only by the awardee.

OPTION 2 – As part of the offer submission package the offeror shall provide the traceability signature page, signed only by the offeror. Upon award and prior to the first shipment the awardee shall provide the signed traceability signature page from each entity in the supply chain providing and/or handling F-76 product and/or blending components all the way back to the point of manufacture. For each individual shipment, the supplier will submit a traceability page signed only by the awardee.

OPTION 3 – As part of the offeror submission package, the offeror shall provide the traceability signature page, signed only by the offeror. For each individual shipment, the awardee shall provide the signed traceability signature page from each entity in the supply chain providing and/or handling F-76 product and/or blending components all the way back to the point of manufacture.

Regardless of the option chosen, the traceability sheet signed by offeror shall be submitted to both the contracting office and to PQIS@dla.mil during pre-award phase.

For OPTION 1 or OPTION 2, the purpose of the awardee submitting a signed traceability page with each shipment is to confirm that the initial traceability certification is still valid at the time of F-76 product shipment.

6) If at any point during the contract period the traceability information provided under OPTION 1 or OPTION 2 becomes invalid

(i.e. the supply chain is altered or the source of F-76 product or a blending component changes), the supplier shall notify both the contracting office and PQIS@dla.mil and updated documentation shall be provided.
