0004 CXU-3A/B Signal Cartridge (USN) 1325-01-088-4217

Note: CLINS 0001 and 0003 will be used for First Article Test Report (FATR) for the CXU-3A/B Signal Cartridges (smoke/cold).

3. The U.S. Government intends to award a Firm Fixed Price (FFP), five-year, Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to the Offeror whose proposal represents the best value to the U.S. Government, non-price and price factors considered. The total minimum guaranteed quantity (MGQ) is a quantity of 30,000 each CXU-3A/B Signal Cartridges (smoke/cold) for the USAF. The U.S. Government is under no obligation to order more than the MGQ under this IDIQ contract. The MGQ will be awarded in the first delivery order which will be issued concurrently with the IDIQ contract award.

4. The resultant contract will consist of five Ordering Periods (OP) to award Fiscal Year (FY) 2022-2026 requirements. The Ordering

Periods are defined as follows:

Ordering Period 1: Date of Award through 365 Days After Award (DAA)

Ordering Period 2: 366 DAA to 730 DAA

Ordering Period 5: 1,461 DAA to 1,825 DAA

5. If the U.S. Government decides to order more than the MGQ, then the maximum quantities that may be ordered by the U.S. Government throughout the life of this contract, as a result of this RFP, is 340,000 each CXU-3A/B Signal Cartridges (smoke/cold) for the USAF, and

SECTION E - INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE

E0001 - MIL-STD-1916____________________

The Department of Defense (DoD) Preferred Methods for this Acceptance of Product, MIL-STD-1916, shall be used for this procurement action. All references to MIL-STD-105, MIL-STD-414, MIL-STD-1235, and ANSI Z1.4 appearing in the Technical Data Package (TDP) are replaced by MIL-STD-1916. Verification Levels (VL) shall replace AQLs and shall be VL IV for major characteristics and VL II for minor characteristics.

E0002 - STATISTICAL PROCESS CONTROL___________________________________

Part I General Statistical Process Control Requirements

(a) In addition to the quality requirements of the technical data package, the Contractor shall implement Statistical Process Control

(SPC) in accordance with a government accepted SPC Program Plan. Control chart techniques shall be in accordance with the American

National Standards Institute (ANSI) B1, B2 and B3. Alternate SPC charting methods may be proposed and submitted to the Government for review.

(b) The SPC Program Plan developed by the contractor shall consist of a general plan and a detailed plan. The plans shall be structured as delineated on the Data Item Description referenced in the DD Form 1423. The general and the detailed plans shall be submitted to the government for review per DD Form 1423 requirements. Notification by the Government of acceptance or nonacceptance of the plans shall be provided in accordance with the timeframes specified on the DD Form 1423. Once a general plan for a facility has been approved by this

Command, the approval remains in effect for subsequent contracts as long as the contractual requirements remain substantially unchanged from contract to contract. Therefore, resubmission of a previously accepted general SPC plan is not required if current SPC contract requirements and Data Item Description (DID) requirements are fulfilled. If this Command has previously accepted the general SPC plan under essentially the same SPC contractual requirements, so indicate by providing the Contracting Officer with the following information:

Date of Acceptance ______________

Contract Number(s) ______________

(c) The contractor is responsible for updating the general plan to current SPC contractual requirements. If errors or omissions are encountered in a previously accepted SPC general plan, opportunities for improvement will be identified by the Government, and corrective action shall be accomplished by the contractor.

(d) A milestone schedule will be submitted for those facilities who do not have, or have never had, a fully implemented SPC program and will not have a fully operational SPC program once production is initiated. The milestones shall provide a time phased schedule of all efforts planned relative to implementation of an SPC program acceptable to the Government. A milestone schedule shall include implementation start and complete dates for those SPC subjects addressed in the Statistical Process Control requirement located in Part

II of this section. The milestone schedule shall only include those actions that cannot be accomplished prior to first article or the initiation of production, if a first article is not required. Milestones shall be developed for each commodity identified for SPC application. Milestones shall be submitted through the Government Quality Assurance Representative to the Contracting Officer for review and acceptance. Any deviations from the accepted milestones, to include justification for such deviations, shall be resubmitted through the same channels for review. The Government reserves the right to disapprove any changes to the previously accepted milestones.

Notification by the Government of the acceptance or nonacceptance of the milestones shall be furnished to the Contractor by the

Contracting Officer.

(e) The Contractor shall review all process and operation parameters for possible application of SPC techniques. This review shall include processes and operations under the control of the prime contractor and those under the control of subcontractor or vendor facilities. A written justification shall be included in the detailed plan for each process and operation parameter that controls or influences characteristics identified as critical, special, or major which have been deemed impractical for the application of SPC techniques. A pamphlet on application of SPC for short production runs is available through the Contracting Officer.

(f) Statistical evidence in the form of control charts shall be prepared and maintained for each process or operation parameter identified in the detailed plan. These charts shall identify all corrective actions taken on statistical signal. During production runs, control charts shall be maintained in such a manner to assure product is traceable to the control charts. At the conclusion of the production run, a collection of charts traceable to the product, shall be maintained for a minimum of 3 years. The control charts shall be provided to the Government for review at any time upon request.

(g) When the process or operation parameter under control has demonstrated both stability and capability, the Contractor may request, in writing, through Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO) and Contracting Officer (CO) channels to the Product Assurance and Test

Directorate, that acceptance inspection or testing performed in accordance with contract requirements be reduced or eliminated. Upon

13 89

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

approval by the CO, acceptance shall then be based upon the accepted SPC plan, procedures, practices and the control charts.

(h) The Government will not consider requests for reduction or elimination of 100% acceptance inspection and testing of if any one of the following conditions exist:

(1) The existing process currently utilizes a fully automated, cost effective, and sufficiently reliable method of 100% acceptance inspection or testing for an attribute-type critical parameter or characteristic.

(2) The Contractor utilizes attribute SPC control chart methods for the critical parameter or characteristic.

(3) The critical parameter or characteristic is a first order, single point safety failure mode (nonconformance of the critical parameter or characteristic in and of itself would cause a catastrophic failure).

(i) The Government will only consider reduction or elimination of the 100% acceptance inspection or test requirement for other critical parameters or characteristics if either of the following conditions are met:

(1) The process is in a state of statistical control utilizing variable control chart methods for the critical parameter or characteristic under control and the process performance index (Cpk) is at least 2.0. The Contractor shall maintain objective quality evidence through periodic audits that the process performance index is being maintained for each production delivery.

(2) The critical parameter or characteristic is conclusively shown to be completely controlled by one or more process or operation parameters earlier in the process, and those parameters are in a state of statistical control utilizing variable data, and the product of the probability of the conformance for each earlier parameter associated to the critical characteristic is better than or equal to a value equivalent to that provided by a Cpk of at least 2.0. The Contractor shall maintain objective quality evidence through periodic audits that the process performance indexes are being maintained for each production delivery.

(j) For characteristics other than critical, requests for reduction or elimination of acceptance inspection and testing shall be considered when the process performance index is greater than or equal to a Cpk of 1.33 for variables data. Requests shall be considered for attributes data when the percent beyond the specification limits is less than or equal to .003 (Cpk=1.33).

(k) Process or operation parameters under reduced or eliminated inspection or testing that undergo a break in production less than 6 months in length, may continue to operate under reduced or eliminated inspection or testing provided there has been no degradation below a Cpk of 1.33 (2.0 for criticals). Any break in production greater than 6 months shall require resubmission of the request for reduction or elimination of inspection or testing through the same channels cited in paragraph (g) above.

(1) Not used.

(m) Immediately following a change to a process or operation parameter under reduced or eliminated inspection, the process capability

(Cp) or process performance indexes (Cpk) shall be recalculated and documented for variable data; the grand average fraction defective shall be recalculated for attribute data. If any of these values have deteriorated, immediate notification shall be made to the

Government along with the associated documentation. Return to original inspection and test requirements may be imposed as stipulated in paragraph n below.

(n) The Government reserves the right to withdraw authorization to reduce or eliminate final acceptance inspection or testing and direct the Contractor to return to original contract inspection or test procedures at any indication of loss of process control or deterioration of quality.
