Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

b. Long Form Procedure: Class I changes to the CI require that DD Form 1692, pages 1 through 7 (as applicable), be prepared. Use of this procedure assures that all effects of the change on the CI are properly addressed and documented to the necessary detail to allow proper evaluation of the proposed change.

c. Short Form Procedure: ECPs and VECPs, which meet the requirements of Class II

ECPs, shall be prepared using DD Form 1692 (page 1 only). Supplemental pages may be used with the form as necessary. The responsible

Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) Contract Management Office (CMO) will validate data entries in Block 5 "Class of ECP", Block6

"Priority", and Block 8 "Justification Codes."

d. The Contractor shall not manufacture items for acceptance by the Government that incorporate a known departure from requirements, unless the Government has approved an RFV. RFVs shall be prepared using DD Form 1694.

e. Each ECP and RFV shall be accompanied by a written and signed evaluation prepared by the responsible Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) technical representative. The DCMA written evaluation shall be considered part of the ECP/RFV proposal.

f. Classification of RFVs.

(1) Major RFVs. RFVs written against CIs shall be designated as major when the RFV consists of acceptance of an item having a nonconformance with contract or configuration documentation involving health;

performance; interchangeability; reliability; survivability; maintainability; effective use or operation; weight; appearance (when a factor); or when there is a departure from a requirement classified as major in the contractual documentation.

(2) Critical RFVs. RFVs written against CIs shall be designated as critical when the RFV consists of acceptance of an item having a nonconformance with contract or configuration documentation involving safety or when there is a departure from a requirement classified as critical in the contractual documentation.

(3) Minor RFVs. RFVs written against CIs shall be designated as minor when the RFV consists of acceptance of an item having a nonconformance with contract or configuration documentation which does not involve any of the factors listed above in paragraphs f(1) or g(2), or when there is a departure from a requirement classified as minor in the contractual documentation.

g. Proposals shall include sufficient technical data to describe all changes from existing contract requirements.

h. Proposals shall include sufficient justification for making the change, including a statement of contract impact, if the change is not authorized.

i. Proposals for ECPs shall set forth a "not to exceed" price and delivery adjustment acceptable to the Contractor if the Government subsequently approves the proposal. If approved, the equitable increase shall not exceed this amount.

j. Times allowed for technical decisions for ECP and RFV proposals will be worked out via mutual agreement between the Contractor and the Government.

k. Proposals for VECPs shall set forth a "not less than" price and delivery adjustment acceptable to the Contractor if the Government subsequently approves the proposal. If approved, the savings shall not be less than this amount.

l. The Contractor shall utilize DD Form 2617, "Engineering Release Record" (ERR) to release new or revised configuration documentation to the Government for approval.

m. The Contractor shall utilize DD Form 1695, "Notice of Revision" (NOR) to describe the exact change(s) to configuration documentation specified as a data requirement in the contract. The Contractor shall describe the change using sub-sections entitled "WAS" to describe the current contractual technical requirement and "IS" to describe the proposed new requirement.

3. Submittal. The preferred method of submittal is digitally as a single file in Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format (PDF). Unless otherwise specified, alternate methods of submittal shall be proposed to and authorized by the PCO prior to submittal. If the hardcopy method is requested and approved, the Contractor shall submit two (2) copies of each proposal to the responsible Administrative

Contracting Officer (ACO). One (1) copy of each proposal shall be returned to the Contractor within (5) working days after receipt by the ACO, stating whether or not the proposal is in compliance with this provision. Any unresolved differences between the ACO and the Contractor concerning ECPs, VECPs, or RFVs will be submitted to the PCO for resolution.

4. Distribution.

a. Electronic Distribution. The preferred method of distribution for unclassified is through the email or DOD safe site

(https://safe.apps.mil) addressed to the PCO. Classified material shall be distributed via SIPERNET or by classified email as determined by the PCO. Microsoft Word is required for use with the transmittal letter (E-mail). Required forms will be attached to the E-mail.

H-12. IDENTIFICATION MARKING REQUIREMENTS (AVN & MSL)

Item shall be marked per MIL-STD-130.

H-5. DEFENSE PRIORITY AND ALLOCATIONS SYSTEM (DPAS) RATED AWARDS

Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS) Rated Awards (JUNE 2025)

A DPAS rated order indicates the priority the contractor must give to the performance of the award. There are two priority ratings: "DX" and "DO". All "DX" rated orders have equal priority with each other and take preference over "DO" rated orders and unrated orders. All

"DO" rated orders have equal priority with each other and take preference over unrated orders. (see 15 CFR 700.11 and DoDM 4400.1-M).

Mandatory Contractor Performance Scheduling

A contractor must schedule operations, including the acquisition of all needed production items, in a timely manner to satisfy the delivery requirements of each DPAS rated order. Additionally, contractors are required to use DPAS rated orders with their U.S. suppliers to obtain items needed to fill rated orders (15 CFR 700.15). Contractors may also use DPAS rated orders to obtain replacements of inventoried items used to fill rated orders (see 15 CFR 700.17(b)).

Modifying production or delivery schedules is necessary only when required delivery dates for a rated order cannot otherwise be met. Since "DX" indicates the highest rated order, the manufacturer will schedule its production before processing other lower or unrated orders. "DX" rated orders must be given production preference over "DO" rated orders and unrated orders if necessary to meet required delivery dates, even if this requires the diversion of items being processed or ready for delivery against unrated orders. Similarly, "DO" rated orders must be given preference over unrated orders. If an accepted rated order of equal priority status conflicts with other accepted rated orders of equal priority status, the contractor must prioritize the rated orders in the sequence in which the rated orders are to be delivered or performed (see 15 CFR

700.14).

Contractor Acceptance of a DPAS rated order:

[Contractors receiving an award that includes a DPAS rating shall advise DLA via the post award mailbox (DLAHSVPostAwardTeam@dla.mil) , if they cannot perform in accordance with the requirements of the applied DPAS rating. When rejecting an order in full, communication to the contracting officer must include a detailed reason for rejection. If the order can be fulfilled at a later date, the contractor must provide, a) the earliest possible delivery date, b) a detailed reason why the awarded delivery date cannot be met (e.g. reason should not simply state a

production delay) and, c) an offer to accept the order based on that date. Contractors must advise

DLA within fifteen (15) working days after receipt of a "DO" rated order, and within ten (10) working days after receipt of a "DX" rated order if they cannot perform in accordance with the

DPAS rating. Contractors that do not contact DLA are self-attesting that they acknowledge receipt of the award and will conform to the DPAS rating requirement. If the prescribed response time has passed and the contractor learns that shipment or performance will be delayed, the contractor is still required to notify DLA immediately.

Special Priority Assistance:

Preferential scheduling is a must for DPAS rated orders (see 15 CFR 700.14). If a contractor learns that a shipment or performance will be delayed after the allotted response time has passed or any other issue arises that will affect deliveries during the duration of the contract, the contractor is required to notify DLA immediately through the use of Form BIS-999, Special

Priorities Assistance (SPA). Deviations from schedules cannot be approved without the completion and submission of this form. Once submitted, DLA and its customers will discuss the

SPA for approval. The Department of Commerce requires an approved BIS-999 prior to reprioritizing DPAS rated orders and its schedules (See 15 CFR 700.50). Please contact DLA post award for any SPA questions or concerns.

H-20. SOURCES ELIGIBLE FOR AWARD CONSIDERATION (AVN & MSL)

(a) Competition under this solicitation is restricted to the following sources:

(1) Approved Sources listed in Section B -- sources that have been approved by the prime manufacturer or the Government for supply of item(s) listed in this solicitation, to assure the requisite safe, dependable, effective operation and support of military equipment.

(2) Sources that have been approved prior to award -- other than approved sources listed in

Section B.

(3) Non-manufacturers--offers from non-manufacturers (distributors) will only be considered for award if the required item(s) is new material and has been or will be obtained from a source of supply which has been approved prior to award. The source and part number of the item the offeror intends to supply must be stated in the offer.

(b) Only offers submitted by the above sources will be considered for award under this solicitation.

(c) Offerors (prospective manufacturers or non-manufacturers [distributors]) who wish to become an approved source of supply for an item listed in this solicitation should proceed per the instructions set forth in paragraph (d) below. It is noted that offeror requests for source approval in conjunction with this procurement will not be a cause for delay in this solicitation action.

However, if it is determined that additional sources will clearly benefit the Government and that any delay incident to their approval would not impact readiness, a reasonable delay may be entertained. Whether or not such delay will occur will be solely at the discretion of the

Government, and the time set for opening of the Invitation for Bids or the closing date of the

Request for Proposals may or may not be extended. An extension will be witnessed by issuance of an amendment to this solicitation.

(d) Offerors (prospective manufacturers or non-manufacturers [distributors]) seeking to obtain source approval, must submit a Source Approval Request (SAR) package, for review and approval, to the Systems Readiness Directorate (SRD), Aviation and Missile Center, DEVCOM.

Source approval must be obtained prior to being considered for contract award. Approvals are made on an individual part number basis for a specific manufacturing location (CAGE). SAR instructions can be found at https://www/avmc.army.mil/Directorates/SRD/SAR/. Questions concerning SAR submissions can be directed to the SRD SAR Team at usarmy.redstone.devcom-avmc.mbx.amr-m-sar@army.mil.

(e) The Aviation and Missile Lifecycle Management Command (AMCOM) may require additional data, testing, or plant visits before it is able to completely evaluate a SAR. This may require the offeror (at no expense to the Government) to supply parts for testing, engine run up, or flight tests. In that event, the requestor will be so advised. AMCOM reserves the right to approve a contractor for award prior to completion of physical testing of the offered item. In such cases, the contractor shall perform any outstanding tests and provide all required documentation at no cost to the Government prior to entering upon full production. Lack of successful performance within the specified timeframe shall be grounds for a no cost termination.

(f) When a SAR is received, it will be processed for evaluation. If the evaluation and approval

(including preparation or update of the requisite technical data package (TDP)) occurs before award, the requestor will be considered for award if a proposal was submitted per (d) above. If the evaluation/TDP preparation has not been completed prior to award, AMCOM will continue the process until complete. If the requestor's SAR becomes approved, the requestor will be eligible for consideration on all future solicitations for the item.

(g) All approval or disapproval notices shall be officially provided to the contractor by the appropriate technical official.

(h) Non-manufacturers (distributors) seeking to supply an item from a non-approved source must first ensure that the source becomes approved in accordance with (d) above prior to contract award.
