E.2 REWORK AND REPAIR OF NONCONFORMING MATERIAL

(a) Rework and Repair are defined as follows:

(1) Rework - The reprocessing of nonconforming material to make it conform completely to the drawings, specifications or contract requirements.

(2) Repair - The reprocessing of nonconforming material in accordance with approved written procedures and operations to reduce, but not completely eliminate, the nonconformance. The purpose of repair is to bring nonconforming material into a usable condition.

Repair is distinguished from rework in that the item after repair still does not completely conform to all of the applicable drawings, specifications or contract requirements.

(b) Rework procedures along with the associated inspection procedures shall be documented by the Contractor and submitted to the

Government Representative for review and approval prior to implementation. Rework procedures are subject to the Governments disapproval.

(c) Repair procedures shall be documented by the Contractor and submitted on a Request for Deviation/Waiver, to the Contracting Officer for review and written Government approval prior to implementation.

(d) Whenever the Contractor submits a repair or rework procedure for Government review and approval, the submission shall also include a description of the cause for the nonconformances and a description of the action taken or to be taken to prevent recurrence.

(e) The Government approved rework or repair procedure shall also contain a provision for re-inspection which will take precedence over the Technical Data Package requirements and shall, in addition, provide the Government assurance that the reworked or repaired items have met reprocessing requirements.

E.3 PRODUCTION LOT TESTING (CONFORMANCE INSPECTION - Contractor)

(a)The Contractor shall conduct production lot testing (PLT) for each production lot to be tendered to the Government for acceptance.

(b) The samples shall be selected, examined, and tested in accordance with -1-

(c) The samples shall be randomly selected from the entire lot by, or in the presence of, the Government Quality Assurance

Representative (QAR). The Contractor shall notify the QAR in writing at least five (5) business days in advance, when the lot is ready for sample selection. The Contractor shall inspect production lots for conformance to the contracts requirements prior to selecting PLT samples. Unless otherwise authorized by the Contracting Officer, test samples shall not be submitted pursuant to this provision where the Contractor has determined that the lot does not conform to all contract requirements.

(d) Within 15 days of completing PLT on any given lot, the Contractor shall deliver to the Government a report that documents whether production lots conform to PLT requirements in the Technical Data Package. The PLT report shall verify whether all required inspections and tests have been completed successfully. The report shall be submitted to the Government in accordance with CDRL in Section J.

(e) Within -3- workdays after receipt of the PLT report, the Government will notify the Contractor in writing whether the specific lot has been approved, conditionally approved, or rejected. The Contractor shall maintain PLT report(s) for a period of two years after contract expiration, during which time they shall be available for Government review.

(f) If the PLT sample fails to meet any contractual requirement, the lot from which the test samples were drawn shall be rejected by the

Government. In that event, the Contractor shall take immediate corrective action at no increase in the contract price, and shall submit an additional PLT sample (from the Government approved repair/reworked lot or from a new lot) for inspection. Corrective action shall apply to all items including, if applicable, basic items, repair parts, and in-process or final assembly items produced or in production since the last successful production lot test.

(g) PLT samples not consumed or destroyed in testing may be delivered as part of the production quantities due under the contract.

E.4 DESTRUCTIVE TESTING

(a) All costs for destructive testing by the Contractor and items destroyed by the Government are considered as being included in the contract unit price.

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

(b) Where destructive testing of items or components thereof is required by contract or specification, the number of items or components required to be destructively tested, whether destructively tested or not, shall be in addition to the quantity to be delivered to the Government as set forth in the Contract Schedule.

(c) All pieces of the complete First Article shall be considered as destructively tested items unless specifically exempted by other provisions of this contract.

(d) The Contractor shall not reuse any components from items used in a destructive test during First Article, lot acceptance or in process testing, unless specifically authorized by the Contracting Officer.

(e) The Government reserves the right to take title to all or any items or components described above. The Government may take title to all or any items or components upon notice to the Contractor. The items or components of items to which the Government takes title shall be shipped in accordance with the Contracting Officer's instructions. Those items and components to which the Government does not obtain title shall be rendered inoperable and disposed of as scrap by the Contractor.

E.5 ALTERNATIVES TO LOT ACCEPTANCE SAMPLING (INCLUDING STATISTICAL PROCESS CONTROL (SPC))

(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 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.

(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 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.

E.6 SUPPLEMENTAL REQUIREMENTS TO FIRST ARTICLE APPROVAL (CONTRACTOR TESTING)

(a) In accordance with the requirements under FAR clause 52.209-3, found in Section I of this document, the first article approval item(s) shall be examined and tested as required by the item specification(s), Quality Assurance Provisions (QAPs) and all drawings listed in the Technical Data Package.

(b) Attention is directed to the Contract Award provision of the solicitation that provides that a written award or acceptance of offer mailed, or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror, results in a binding contract. The Government will mail or otherwise furnish to the offeror an award or notice of award not later than the day award is dated. Therefore, the offeror should compute the time available for performance beginning with the actual date of award, rather than the date the written notice of award is received from the

Contracting Officer through the ordinary mails. However, the Government will evaluate an offer that proposes delivery based on the

Contractors date of receipt of the contract or notice of award by adding

(1) five calendar days for delivery of the award through the ordinary mails, or

(2) one working day if the solicitation states that the contract or notice of award will be transmitted electronically. (The term working day excludes weekends and U.S. Federal holidays.) If, as so computed, the offered delivery date is later than the required delivery date, the offer will be considered nonresponsive and rejected.
