Traceability shall be provided via a unique heat/lot number/code permanently marked on the material per MIL-STD-792 (latest) and shown on the OQE certification document. Where the applicable product specification does not require permanent heat/lot markings, the material shall be tagged or received in a package, envelope, bag or box that is annotated with the heat/lot number/code that is traceable to the OQE certification document.

ADDITIONAL CIM REQUIREMENTS (CIM 2012-1)

1. All certifications are required to be delivered with the material. Payment on material for which certifications are not received will be withheld.

4. Vendor acknowledgement of K-Monel heat review.

a. Recent investigations into mechanical property failures of fasteners manufactured from NiCuAl(K-Monel) material that was produced by Special Metals Corporation (formerly INCO Alloys) of Huntington, West Virginia have found eighty (80) heats of material which may not meet the mechanical property requirements of QQ-N-286 throughout the heat. In 1994, Special Metals Corporation implemented a process change that eliminated the addition of extra aluminum at the toe of each NiCuAl(K-Monel) ingot resulting in the toe portion of the heat being non-homogeneous in comparison to the rest of the heat. Due to cropping practices at Special Metals Corporation, material from the toe of the ingot with non-homogeneous aluminum content was not cropped from production material prior to shipment. A recent study has shown that the aluminum concentration in the toe portion of the ingot could be as low as approximately 2.0% with a corresponding yield strength as low as approximately 40,000 PSI. QQ-N-286 specifies an aluminum content of 2.3% minimum and a yield strength of 90,000 PSI minimum or 85,000 PSI minimum for material ≥ 1”. As a result of the investigation, the eighty (80) heats listed in Table I are considered suspect of having problems with insufficient aluminum content and an inability to consistently attain the required minimum yield strength.

b. You are requested to review your records of in stock and in process K-Monel material from the Special Metals Corporation for the suspect heat numbers listed in Table I below. You are prohibited from providing raw stock or finished products made from the suspect K-Monel heats. If suspect heats are intended to be used, contact the PHNS & IMF contracting officer for adjudication of the material. Table I - List of Suspect Special Metals Corporation K-Monel Heat Numbers

USE OF PAST PERFORMANCE INFORMATION RETRIEVAL SYSTEM – STATISTICAL REPORTING (PPIRS-SR) IN PAST PERFORMANCE EVALUATION

(1) The offeror’s past performance shall be evaluated in accordance with FAR 13.106-2 or 15.305(a)(2), as applicable. This procurement is subject to Past Performance Information Retrieval System – Statistical Reporting (PPIRS-SR), authorized by the Department of Defense for use by participating activities during the acquisition of supplies and services.

(2) The purpose of the PPIRS-SR is to provide contracting personnel with quantifiable past performance information regarding delivery and quality, as collected from existing DoD reporting systems. PPIRS-SR uses the past performance data collected to classify each supplier’s performance by Federal Supply Class(es) or Service Code(s).

(3) Quality: The method used in PPIRS-SR to classify the quality of a supplier’s past performance is a comparison of quality records among all suppliers who have provided goods or services to the Federal Government which are categorized in the same Federal Supply Class or Service Class (FSC). Based on the comparison among suppliers in a specific FSC group, suppliers are classified by PPIRS-SR into a color rating that represents the supplier’s overall quality performance for that specific Federal Supply Class or Service Class. The following is a summarization of the PPIRS-SR classification colors:

1. Dark Blue:

Top 5% of suppliers in FSC group*

2. Purple:

Next 10% of suppliers in FSC group*

3. Green:

Next 70% of suppliers in FSC group*

4. Yellow:

Next 10% of suppliers in FSC group*

5. Red:

Bottom 5% of suppliers in FSC group*

* If all supplier performance ratings for an entire FSC group are equal, all suppliers in that group will be classified Green.

(4) Delivery: Supplier delivery past performance is classified in PPIRS-SR by the supplier’s percentage of on time deliveries. On time deliveries are calculated using the number of line items delivered and a weighting factor which reflects the length of time a delivery was overdue.

(5) PPIRS-SR classifications are established monthly for each supplier and can be reviewed at http://www.ppirs.gov/. Suppliers are granted access to PPIRS-SR for their own classifications. Offerors are encouraged to review their own classifications as well as the PPIRS-SR reporting procedures and methodology detailed in the PPIRS-SR Procedures Manual and the PPIRS-SR User Guide available at http://www.ppirs.gov. The method to challenge a rating is also found on the identified website.

(6) Suppliers with no history in PPIRS-SR will be considered to have a neutral PPIRS-SR rating.
