E.22 Alternative to Lot Acceptance Sampling (including Statistical Process Control)

(a) Offerors are encouraged to propose a defect prevention strategy in lieu of lot acceptance inspection and testing requirements cited in the technical data package. The Government recognizes that industry has developed numerous prevention based strategies which result in reduced process variation and promote continuous process improvement initiatives. Use of alternatives to lot acceptance sampling can provide offerors the latitude of implementing prevention based programs that are suitable to their particular mode of operation.

Offerors are encouraged to submit their alternative proposals prior to award. Although the Government will entertain post award requests, there is no guarantee such requests will be accepted.

(b) Requests to use alternatives to lot acceptance sampling shall be provided to the Procuring Contracting Officer for review and approval or disapproval. Such requests shall include:

(1) Identification of the specific inspections and tests to be reduced or eliminated.

(2) A description of your prevention based program. This should include such topics as a training program and the performance of audits.

13 68

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

(3) A description of the tools used to monitor and control the specific processes being evaluated. This should include such topics as criteria for determining out of control conditions and procedures to be used when an out of control condition is detected.

(4) The results of a process performance study, and if available, the results of a process capability study.

(5) For SPC data to be used as an alternative to lot acceptance sampling, the following conditions shall be met:

(i) The process is in a state of statistical control using Statistical Process Control (SPC) control chart methods.

(ii) Variable data: for Critical characteristics a CPK =/> 2.00 (or equivalent capability) is achieved; for Major characteristics a

CPK =/> 1.33 (or equivalent capability) is achieved.

(iii) Attribute data: for Critical Characteristics a process average of 100% of the product conforming to the specification; for

Major Characteristics a process average of 99.9937% of the product conforming to the specification.

(c) Proposals offered after award. The Contracting Officer is responsible for accepting or rejecting the alternate lot acceptance procedure submitted by the Contractor. The Contractor may submit an alternate lot acceptance procedure at any time during the performance of this contract. The Contracting Officer is responsible for accepting or rejecting the alternate procedure within 30 days of receipt. If the Government needs more time to evaluate the alternate procedure, the Contracting Officer shall notify the Contractor in writing, giving the reasons and the anticipated decision date. The Contractor may withdraw its proposal at any time prior to its incorporation by contract modification. Because offerors may withdraw their proposal at any time, the Contracting Officer's failure to timely accept or reject the proposal shall not constitute grounds for claim against the Government. Any proposed and accepted procedure must be incorporated by contract modification. If the alternate procedure is not accepted, the Contracting Officer shall provide the Contractor with written notification, explaining the reasons for rejection.

(d) Any equitable adjustment resulting from approval of an alternate lot acceptance procedure described in paragraph (c) above will be handled in accordance with the Changes clause of this contract.

(e) Until notification is received, the Contractor is required to perform under this contract in accordance with the requirements herein, including lot acceptance inspection and testing.

E.12 Notice Regarding First Article Test Sample

(a) The approved first article items, as described elsewhere in this contract, consist of a quantity of 1 that will be consumed or destroyed in testing. Any items consumed or destroyed in testing shall not be delivered as part of the contractually required quantity as set forth in the schedule. The cost of any items that are consumed or destroyed shall be included in the overall offer or contract price. A quantity of 0 that successfully passes all specified tests, less the destructive tests, if any, shall serve as a manufacturing standard for the remainder of the contract.

(b) A manufacturing standard is an item, which conforms to all technical performance requirements. A manufacturing standard will serve as 1) an aid in identifying configuration changes not controlled by the contractual design, 2) as an aid in identifying any process changes, or 3) as the approved workmanship sample, when required, unless alternate samples are submitted for specific characteristics by the Contractor and approved by the Government.

(c) The manufacturing standard will only be used to supplement contractual acceptance/rejection criteria for those process characteristics that require approved workmanship samples. For other characteristics, if configuration or process changes are identified in production units, the Contractor will notify the Procuring Contracting Officer for disposition. Manufacturing items that serve as a manufacturing standard may be delivered as part of the contractual quantity with the last shipment made under this contract provided it meets all contractual requirements existing at time of delivery.
