Configuration Responsibility. Each CI/CSCI, as developed/built and delivered, shall conform to the cited CB and (if applicable) all subsequent CB’s that will be made contractually binding by the Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO). Configuration changes not directly effecting the configuration baseline do not require

Exhibit A Technical Requirements SPRBL1-18-R-0018 Page 4 of 23

Government approval prior to incorporation, but must be documented by the contractor and shall be made available to the Government upon request. The contractor may use MIL-HDBK-61A and SAE EIA-649-1, Configuration Management Requirements for Defense Contracts, which was adapted on 04 March 2015 for use by the Department of Defense (DoD), as guidance for establishing a Configuration Management Program.

Departures from CB. No changes or departures from the CB are acceptable except for changes or departures which are submitted in accordance with DI-MISC-80711A and are approved by the Government Configuration Manager or Configuration Management Officer (CMO) and which are made applicable to the contract by the PCO. Configuration Control shall be affected by the Configuration Control Documents (CCDs) as follows:

a. Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) includes both the engineering change and the supporting documentation by which the change is described and suggested. An ECP describes changes to the CI/CSCI and associated Government documents and data that are affected by the proposed engineering change. An ECP shall be submitted using the latest revision of DD Form 1692.

b. A Notice of Revision (NOR) shows the detailed changes that must be made to technical documentation, except specifications, (one NOR per document) following approval of an ECP. The NOR is submitted as part of the ECP. A NOR shall be submitted using the latest revision of DD Form 1695.

c. A Specification Change Notice (SCN) is used to delineate the exact change(s) in a specification that will be distributed to users when the ECP is approved. The SCN is submitted as part of the ECP. The SCN is not used for a military or federal document. A SCN shall be submitted using the latest revision of DD Form 1696.

d. Value Engineering Change Proposal (VECP) is the same as an ECP except there are proposed cost savings for the program. The contractor shall follow the guidance in Section I of this contract for VECPs.

e. Request for Variance (RFV) is a temporary departure from requirements and do not constitute a permanent change to the Functional Configuration Document, Allocated Configuration Document, or Product Configuration Document. Prior to or after manufacture of an item, the supplying activity may request a variance. The supplying activity shall not build items, or present items for acceptance, that incorporate a known departure from requirements, unless a request for a variance has been approved. Where it is determined that a change should be permanent, an ECP must be processed in accordance with this document. A RFV shall be submitted using the latest revision of DD Form 1694.

f. Contractor shall provide all supporting program or cost data with the CCD. The contractor shall uniquely and sequentially identify (including the use of the contract number) each ECP, VECP, NOR, SCN or RFW. The identification number should use less than 16 characters.

Identification of Authorized Personnel. The contractor shall identify to the PCO, Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO), and the technical office identified on the DD Form 1423 for DI-MISC-80711A, the name(s) of the official(s) of its organization who are authorized to submit CCDs 30 Days after Contract (DAC).

o. Submit TDP Review Report. The contractor shall prepare and submit a TDP Review Report (including subcontracted PE effort - see paragraph u and v below) in accordance with DI-MISC-80750 as implemented by the DD Form 1423 for DI-MISC-80750.

p. 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.

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

2. This letter will state the following:

3. (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’.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

Exhibit A Technical Requirements SPRBL1-18-R-0018 Page 7 of 23

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.

r. 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.

s. Overspecified and nonessential requirements. When overspecified or nonessential requirements are identified, the contractor shall submit an ECP proposing the elimination or modification of the nonessential or overspecified 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.

t. 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.

u. 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:

v. 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.

w. Production Evaluation responsibility will be retained by the prime contractor, and all approved PE ECPs will be provided to the subcontractor for incorporation on hardware. In this situation, the contractor will prepare and submit a letter to the Procuring Contracting Officer within seven (7) days of award of the subcontract. This letter will 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.

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

Test results shall cite detailed qualitative and quantitative data results such as test categories, test conditions, test methods employed, and types of inspection and test equipment used during the test or inspection.

4. FAT Failures. FAT failures shall list all requirements not complied with during FAT. If none, this should be explicitly stated. For each requirement not met, a corrective action to remove the noncompliance will be proposed. This corrective action must include retest or other verification that the corrective action does remedy the problem/failure. The corrective action will address changes in design or manufacturing process which will preclude this deficiency in subsequent production units. Verified corrective action must be implemented prior to contractor entering into production.

5. FAT/Production Discrepancies. Any Government approved (see paragraph 3.5.3), difference between the parts, materials and processes used to manufacture FAT samples and production units shall be documented in the FAT report.

g. FAT Approval. FAT samples shall meet all contractual requirements or all variances shall be documented by Government approved waivers.
