3.4.1.1.8 Submit TDP Certification. The contractor shall prepare and submit a letter of PE certification in accordance with DI-MISC-80750 as implemented by the DD Form 1423 for DI-MISC-80750. This letter shall be prepared in accordance with the specific content and format requirements described below.

a. The certification shall be provided on company letterhead, and shall be dated and signed by an authorized official of the company.

b. This letter will state the following:

'(Company Name) has conducted the Production Evaluation effort required to date by Provision Number (Number) of Contract Number (Number) for the (End Item). Although we recognize that PE is a continuing effort and that occasional PE Compatibility ECP's may arise during the full scale production phase of this contract, we have sufficiently identified and corrected any discrepancy, error, omission or deficiency in design or technical data which would otherwise have precluded practical manufacture, assembly or attainment of required performance as set forth in specification (Number of End Item Specification). Accordingly, we hereby certify that the technical data package, as changed or supplemented by the ECP's approved to date, is suitable for our use in fulfilling our obligation of delivering conforming items at the price and delivery schedule established in this contract’.

c. If the contractor does not submit this letter of certification at the specified time, the contractor shall be deemed to have failed to make delivery within the meaning of the 'Default' clause of this contract, and this contract shall be subject to termination for default. However, failure of the Government in such an event to terminate this contract for default shall not relieve the contractor of its responsibility to continue the Production Evaluation effort and to meet the delivery schedule for all items, as well as meeting all other contract requirements.

d. Submission of the Certification shall not relieve the contractor from compliance with the PE requirement, which remains in effect for the duration of the contract.

3.4.2 PE Compatibility Discrepancies, Errors, Omissions and Deficiencies. The types of discrepancies, errors, omissions and deficiencies which require PE compatibility corrections are listed in Appendix entitled “Sample PE Compatibility Discrepancies, Errors, Omissions and Deficiencies.” Examples are provided for illustrative purposes, and are not inclusive.

NOTE: In the event of incompatibility between a 'common' or 'standard' part and a mating part, preference shall be given to correcting the incompatibility by changing the mating part.

3.4.3 Other Discrepancies. The following discrepancies may be uncovered during the PE review. While the contractor is responsible for submitting ECPs to propose corrections to the discrepancies, such ECPs will not be submitted as PE ECPs, but as described below.

Exhibit A SPRBL1-17-R-0022 Page 11 of 21

3.4.3.1 Over specified and nonessential requirements. When over specified or nonessential requirements are identified, the contractor shall submit an ECP proposing the elimination or modification of the nonessential or over specified requirements in accordance with the 'Configuration Management' provision of this contract. If significant savings are anticipated, the contractor shall submit the change as a Value Engineering Change Proposal (VECP) in accordance with the 'Value Engineering' provision of this contract.

3.4.3.2 Design Deficiencies. While it is not the intent of the Government to transfer full design responsibility to the contractor, it is recognized that the PE effort may require some design effort on the part of the contractor. In the event that the contractor discovers a conflict between the specified performance requirements and the construction characteristics specified by the technical data, the contractor shall immediately submit an ECP in accordance with the 'Configuration Management' provision of this contract. Such ECPs shall be identified as 'Basic Design Deficiency' ECPs, and shall describe the alleged design deficiency, the basis for the contractor's conclusion that it is not a PE compatibility discrepancy and the proposed change that will correct the deficiency.

3.4.4 Subcontracting of PE. If any item described by the Government-furnished technical data should be subcontracted, one of the following tasks shall be performed by the contractor:

3.4.4.1 This Production Evaluation requirement shall be made a part of the subcontract. The prime contractor is responsible for assuring that the subcontractor complies with the Production Evaluation requirements.

Submission of ECPs to the Government shall be made only by the prime contractor.

3.4.4.2 Production Evaluation responsibility will be retained by the prime contractor, and all approved PE ECPs shall be provided to the subcontractor for incorporation on hardware. In this situation, the contractor shall prepare and submit a letter to the Procuring Contracting Officer within seven (7) days of award of the subcontract. This letter shall identify the item that has been subcontracted without the PE clause and state the contractor's intention of retaining Production Evaluation responsibility for the subcontracted item.

3.4.5 Alternate Changes. The Government reserves the right to direct an alternate change to a PE ECP.

3.5. Requirements for Contractor Performed First Article Testing.

3.5.1 General. The contractor shall perform First Article Testing (FAT) in accordance with FAR 52.209-3 (see Section I of this contract) and this SOW. As part of FAT, the contractor shall:
