A Physical Configuration Audit (PCA) shall be performed to administer the development and refinement of the contractors initial

Technical Data Package (TDP). For offerors that were previously qualified by the USG, the PCA will be based on the TDP of the qualified design. For offerors submitting DVT results to obtain qualification, the PCA will be based on the TDP of the DVT sample.

The PCA shall be performed by examination and measurement using Standard Measurement Equipment (SME) to verify that the product baseline has been established and is complete. Objective evidence shall be provided to demonstrate that the material used is the same as the material qualified during DVT or previously qualified by the USG. There shall be no discrepancies between the samples and their corresponding configuration descriptions (drawings, specifications, etc.).

The PCA shall be performed on the following:

a. Ten (10) complete cartridges.

b. Ten (10) of each component used to produce a cartridge. If more than one (1) piece of equipment is used to produce a component, then five (5) components from each piece of equipment will be subject to a PCA evaluation. If mold or die has more than one (1) cavity, five

(5) pieces shall be evaluated from each cavity. At the conclusion of the PCA, a Configuration Audit Report shall be completed within 30 days IAW DI-SESS-81022D.

c. The Government reserves the right to perform a PCA of the contractor throughout the period of performance of the contract provided that the Government gives thirty (30) days notice on a non-interference basis.

d. Configuration Audit Plan (DI-SESS-81646) shall be provided to the US Government within 30 days of a planned PCA for approval.

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

Contractors submitting test data and supporting documentation to satisfy the Request for Proposal (RFP) requirements for qualification of a new design shall produce and test a DVT sample IAW MIL-PRF-32409 w/ AMENDMENT 1 and MIL-PRF-71167C w/ AMENDMENT 2, at the contractors expense. Results of the DVT, to include all test data and supporting documentation to verify compliance IAW MIL-PRF-32409 w/

AMENDMENT 1 and MIL-PRF-71167C w/AMENDMENT 2, shall be submitted to the PCO to be reviewed and evaluated by the USG prior to close of the solicitation. Within forty-five (45) calendar days of receipt of all DVT data and supporting documentation, the PCO will provide a written determination concerning the qualification status of the contractors design.

Successful completion of DVT shall constitute the product baseline. Once the product baseline is established, any change of design, material, or manufacturing process shall require additional testing to establish a new product baseline. At this time, defects inherent to that particular design shall be established and defined as either a minor, major, or critical defect. There shall be no discrepancies between the samples and their corresponding configuration descriptors (drawings, specifications, etc.). For each key characteristic, establish tolerances (upper and lower limits) that do not exceed any of the measurements obtained from the samples. These tolerances shall be used for evaluating variability of key characteristics test conducted during conformance verification.

Key characteristics fall into two categories: (1) those relating to the product, and (2) those inherent in the manufacturing process.

They include performance, features, reliability, conformance, durability, serviceability, aesthetics, quality, and safety. The contractor shall provide a technical report IAW (DI-MISC-80508B) detailing the key characteristics and established tolerances to be submitted with their proposal. Following the sample meeting all requirements of the DVT IAW MIL-PRF-32409 w/ AMENDMENT 1 and MIL-PRF-

71167C w/AMENDMENT 2, a Physical Configuration Audit (PCA) and a Configuration Audit Plan shall be provided within 10 calendar days of a

PCA. Configuration Audit Plan (DI-SESS-81646) shall then be performed to administer the development and refinement of the contractors initial Technical Data Package (TDP). This PCA shall be performed by examination and measurement using Standard Measurement Equipment

(SME) to verify that the product baseline has been established and is complete. Evidence shall be provided to demonstrate that the material used is the same as the material qualified during DVT. There shall be no discrepancies between the samples and their corresponding configuration descriptions (drawings, specifications, etc.).
