APPENDIX H:

DEFINITIONS

AFMC Form 761 – The “Screening Analysis Worksheet” that lists all USAF approved sources of supply for a specific NSN. The document also lists the AMSC code for the NSN.

Company Profile – A collection of all quality assurance documentation, SIP certification, and STS network that fully describes the capability of the PS at the time of submittal. The Company

Profile is reviewed during SAR review to ensure agreement with any STS and SIP certification called out in the SAR. All relevant certificates must not be expired in order to receive SAR approval.

Critical Application Item (CAI) – An item, part, assembly, installation, or production system that is essential to weapon system performance or operation, or the preservation of life or safety of operating personnel, as determined by the military services.

Critical Characteristic – Any feature throughout the life cycle of a Critical Item, such as dimension, tolerance, finish, material, or assembly, manufacture, manufacture or inspection process, operation, field maintenance, or depot overhaul requirement that if non-conforming, missing, or degraded may cause the failure or malfunction of the item.

Critical Safety Items (CSI) – An item, part, assembly, installation or production system with one or more critical characteristic that, if missing or not conforming to the design data or quality requirements, would result in an unsafe condition that could cause loss or serious damage to the end item or major items, loss of control, uncommanded engine shutdown, or serious injury or death to personnel. Unsafe conditions relate to hazard severity categories I and II of MIL-STD-882, System Safety Requirements. The determining factor in CSI is the consequence of failure, not the probability that the failure or consequence would occur.

Engineering Support Activity (ESA) – The Military Service organization assigned responsibility and authority to perform and approve engineering and quality assurance actions necessary to evolve detail design disclosures for systems, subsystems, equipment and components exhibiting attributes essential for products to meet specific military requirements. During the operational phase, it includes any engineering activity, the results of which would add to or alter the design of equipment in such a manner, or to such an extent, as to change its operational capabilities or its design attributes of performance, reliability, maintainability and parts interchangeability, or to render it capable of alternative or additional use. For the purpose of this QR, the ESA is synonymous with the Designated Air Force Single Manager for the Weapon System, Design Control Activity, the Cognizant Engineering Authority (CEA) and the USAF Propulsion Division Engineering Chief.

Page | 30

Inspection Method Sheets (IMS) – document used to describe the steps involved in executing an inspection or series of inspections to include tooling, gages, fixtures, dimensions and other parameters necessary to execute the required inspections(s). Sheets must be certified by an authorized representative empowered to comply with the inspection process.

Material – A general term referring to material at any stage in the manufacture/repair process.

National Aerospace & Defense Contractors Accreditation Program (NADCAP) – The accreditation program through which the Performance Review Institute (an independent, non-profit trade association affiliated with the Society of Automotive Engineers), accredits subcontractors and sub-tier suppliers to aerospace and defense industry consensus standards.

Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) –An individual, activity, or organization that performs the physical fabrication processes that produce the deliverable part or other items of supply for the prime contractor and performed the original development of the subject item or assembly. The OEM must produce the part in-house. The OEM may or may not be granted design responsibility by the prime contractor for preparation and technical currency of technical data.

Potential Source – Any potential offeror who wants to be considered as a source…
