C-1 52.211-4015 CONFIGURATION CONTROL - ENGINEERING CHANGES APR/2015

(a) DEFINITIONS:

(1) Engineering Change Proposal (ECP). An ECP is a suggestion that we (the Government) permanently change some requirement of the Technical Data Package (TDP). ECPs can be issued before or during contract performance. NOTE: The current Government Standard allows us ninety days to process routine ECPs. If you (the contractor) need a response in less than ninety days to meet contract requirements, you should consider submitting a deviation along with your ECP.

(2) Notice of Revision (NOR). A NOR describes the proposed changes to a technical document being requested by an ECP.

(3) Value Engineering Change Proposal (VECP). A proposal that --

(i) Requires a change to the instant contract; and

(ii) Results in reducing the overall projected cost to the agency without impairing essential functions or characteristics; provided, that it does not involve a change --

(A) In deliverable end item quantities only;

(B) In research and development (R&D) end items or R&D test quantities that is due solely to results of previous testing under this contract; or

(C) To the contract type only.

(4) Request for Variance (RFV). A RFV is a one-time request to deviate from TDP requirements. You must submit your variance request once you realize that you desire to deviate from the TDP requirements. You can request a variance for a specific number of parts or the entire contract quantity.

(b) When will TACOM start processing change requests? TACOM won't start processing any ECP, VECP, or RFV until we receive the

ACO's comments (see paragraph (e) below) and the ECP, VECP, or RFV documentation.

(c) Contractor Responsibility. ECPs, VECPs, and RFV shall contain information per the instructions outlined on the Data Delivery

Descriptions (DDDs) which can be found at the following website: http://contracting.tacom.army.mil/engr/engrchange.htm. Forms for preparing an ECP, VECP, or a RFV can also be found at this website. You may use other media, as long as you give us all the information outlined in the DDDs.

(1) Identify the two-digit Weapon System Code (WSC) on your submittal. The WSC for this procurement is (WS).

(2) The Contractor shall submit ECPs/VECPs/RFVs to the Government electronically. You must use one of the following electronic mediums: CD ROM, or the SAFE File Exchange at: https://safe.amrdec.army.mil/SAFE/. Identify the software application, and version, that you used to create each file submitted.

(3) ECPs/VECPs/RFVs submitted in paper form are unacceptable and will be returned. You must use one of the following electronic formats:

(i) Files readable using these Microsoft 97 Office Products or later versions: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or Access.

Spreadsheets must be sent in a file format that includes all formulae, macro and format information. Print image is not acceptable.

(ii) Files in Adobe PDF (Portable Document Format).

(iii) Files in HTML (Hypertext Markup Language). HTML documents must not contain active links to live Internet sites or pages. All linked information must be contained within your electronic ECPs/VECPs/RFVs and be accessible offline.

(iv) Other electronic formats. Before preparing your ECPs, VECPs or RFVs in any other electronic format, please e-mail the engineer, copy-furnished to the buyer and ACO, to obtain a decision as to the format's acceptability. Failure to e-mail the engineer to seek an alternate format's acceptability may result in rejection of your submission. All alternate methods must be at no cost to the Government. NOTE: The above formats may be submitted in compressed form using self-extracting files.

(d) Submittal Procedures for ECPs/VECPs/RFVs.

10 65

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

(1) Send one copy of the ECP, VECP or RFV in electronic format to your ACO.

(2) Send one copy of the ECP, VECP or RFV in electronic format to the buyer listed on the solicitation/ contract document.

WARNING - Submit complete, legible, virus free packages per paragraphs 1 and 2 above, or we may return your ECP/VECP/RFV without processing them.

(e) ACO Responsibility. Within ten working days from the day you receive the contractor's request, the ACO must prepare Comments on the ECP, VECP, or RFV in electronic format, and forward it as follows:

Email a copy of the contractor's request and ACO comments (DD Form 1998) to the buyer identified in block 7 of the solicitation cover sheet (SF 33), block 5 on the Standard Form 26, or block 6 on the DD Form 1155. Indicate end item application (if known) in subject line, along with the NSN and contract number.

(f) Approval of ECPs, VECPs and RFVs.

(1) ECPs should be used to make permanent changes in the Government Technical Data Package (TDP). Contractual relief should be requested using a Request for Deviation. This is because the Government requires more time to analyze any proposal to permanently change the specification or TDP. Cost saving improvements to the TDP should be submitted as a VECP, if a VE clause is contained in the contract.

(2) ECPs. TACOM will review and make a decision within the ninety day timeframe. Notification of our decision will be made by the contracting officer or representative.

(3) RFVs. Decision on RFVs will be made within 30 days from the date we receive them from the ACO.

(g) Processing Emergency and Urgent ECPs. Ordinarily, ECPs submitted by the contractor will be deemed routine. If you submit an

ECP that you consider to be an emergency or urgent (as defined in paragraph 11 of DDD for ECPs), you must immediately notify the PCO.

TACOM will review the criticality of the ECP, and, if we determine that it is urgent or critical, we'll follow the appropriate processing time-frames as outlined in paragraph 11 of the DDD for ECPs.

(h) Reminder - Only the PCO can change the Contract. NO OTHER GOVERNMENT REPRESENTATIVE is authorized to make a commitment for, or bind the Government.

(i) RFVs shall contain sufficient pricing data to determine if a downward equitable adjustment to the contract is required.

(j) Questions.

(1) Questions about preparation and submittal of change request should be directed to the Government Quality Assurance

Representative (QAR).

(2) Questions about using the SAFE FTP website, the site has a ://safe.amrdec.army.mil/SAFE/guide.aspx and

://safe.amrdec.army.mil/SAFE/Help.aspx.

(2) Questions about the status of change requests you've already submitted, contact the buyer. You can find the buyer's name, number and e-mail address in block 7 of the solicitation cover sheet (SF 33), block 5 on the Standard Form 26, or block 6 on the DD Form

1155.
