The preferred pallet is a 40 x 48 inch, 4-way entry pallet although variations may be permitted as dictated by the characteristics of the items being unitized. The load shall be contained in a manner that will permit safe handling during shipment and storage.

(c) Marking:

(1) In addition to any special markings called out on the SPI, all unit packages, intermediate packs, exterior shipping containers, and, as applicable, unitized loads shall be marked in accordance with MIL-STD-129). The contractor is responsible for application of special markings as discussed in the Military Standard regardless of whether specified in the contract/order or not.

Special markings include, but are not limited to, Shelf-life markings, structural markings, and transportation special handling markings. The marking of pilferable and sensitive materiel will not identify the nature of the materiel.

(1) In accordance with DOD 4140.65-M and the requirements of the International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures 15 (ISPM), Regulation of Wood Packaging Material in International Trade, current edition, (hereinafter ISPM 15), the following commercial heat treatment and marking process has been approved by the American Lumber Standards Committee (ALSC) and is required for all Wood Packaging

Material (WPM). Foreign manufacturers shall comply with ISPM 15, and have the WPM heat treatment and marking verified in accordance with their National Plant Protection Organizations compliance program.

(2) Boxes/pallets and any wood used as inner packaging made of non-manufactured wood shall be heat-treated. All WPM using a conventional steam or dry kiln heat chamber (treatment code for the mark: HT) shall be heat treated to a minimum core temperature of 56 degrees Celsius for a minimum of 30 minutes, and certified by an agency accredited by the ALSC in accordance with Wood Packaging

Material Policy and Wood Packaging Material Enforcement Regulations (see URL: http://www.alsc.org ). WPM heat treated wood using dielectric heating (treatment code for the mark: DH) shall follow the requirements in ISPM 15, and shall be certified by an agency accredited by the ALSC in accordance with Wood Packaging Material Policy and Wood Packaging Material Enforcement Regulations (see URL:

http://www.alsc.org ). The box/pallet manufacturer and the manufacturer of wood used as inner packaging shall ensure the materials used in manufacture can be traced to the original source of heat treatment, and that the original source of the heat treatment obtained the necessary certifications.

(3) Marking: Each box/pallet shall be marked to show the conformance to the International Plant Protection Convention Standard.

The ALS approved quality mark shall be placed on both ends of the outer packaging, between the end cleats or end battens. Pallet markings shall be applied to the side of the stringer or end of the block on diagonally opposite sides and ends of the pallet and be contrasting and clearly visible. All dunnage used in configuring and/or securing the load shall also comply with ISPM 15 and be marked with an ALSC approved DUNNAGE stamp. Foreign manufacturers shall comply with ISPM -15 and shall have the marking of WPM verified in accordance with their National Plant Protection Organizations compliance program.

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 Quality Assurance Representative (QAR) for review prior to implementation. Rework procedures are subject to the QAR's disapproval.

(c) AIE shall be available for use on the First Article (FA) submission, if FA is required, or prior to use for acceptance of production material on this contract.

(d) Contractor furnished AIE shall be made (i) to the AIE designs specified in Section C, or (ii) to any other design provided the contractor's proposed AIE design is approved by the Government. Contractor's proposed AIE design for inspection of characteristics listed as "Critical, Special or Major" shall be submitted to the Government for review and approval as directed on the Contract Data

Requirements List, DD Form 1423. Government approval of AIE design shall not be considered to modify the contract requirements.

(e) When the contractor submits its proposed AIE on commercial off the shelf equipment, the contractor shall include the manufacturer's name and model number, and sufficient information to show capability of the proposed AIE to perform the inspection required. When submitting proposed AIE design documentation on commercial computer controlled test and measuring equipment include information on (1) test program listing (2) flowcharts showing accept and reject limits and computer generated test stimuli (3) calibration program listing

(4) sample of the printout of an actual test and calibration (5) test plan to verify accuracy of inspection and correctness of accept or reject decision (6) identification of the equipment by model name and number.

(f) Resubmission of the contractor's proposed AIE design for Government approval on a follow on Government contract is not required, provided the inspection characteristic parameters specified in the technical data package and the previously Government approved AIE designs have not changed. In this situation, the contractor shall provide written correspondence in the place of the AIE designs that indicates the prior Government approval and states that no changes have occurred.

(g) The Government reserves the right to disapprove, at any time during the performance of this contract, any AIE that is not accomplishing its intended use in verifying an inspection or test characteristic.

(h) If the contractor changes the design after the initial approval, the modified design must be submitted for approval prior to use.

E.4 NOTICE REGARDING FIRST ARTICLE TEST SAMPLE

(a) The approved first article items, as described elsewhere in this contract, consist of a quantity of 5 each that will be consumed or destroyed in testing. Any items consumed or destroyed in testing shall not be delivered as part of the contractually required quantity as set forth in the schedule. The cost of any items that are consumed or destroyed shall be included in the overall offer or contract price. A quantity of 5 each that successfully passes all specified tests, less the destructive tests, if any, will serve as a manufacturing standard for the remainder of the contract.

(b) A manufacturing standard is an item, which conforms to all technical performance requirements. A manufacturing standard will serve as 1) an aid in identifying configuration changes not controlled by the contractual design. 2) an aid in identifying any process changes, or 3) the approved workmanship sample, when required, unless alternate samples are submitted for specific characteristics by the Contractor and approved by the Government.

(c) The manufacturing standard will only be used to supplement contractual acceptance/rejection criteria for those process characteristics that require approved workmanship samples. For other characteristics, if configuration or process changes are identified in production units, the contractor will notify the contracting officer for disposition. Manufacturing items that serve as a manufacturing standard may be delivered as part of the contractual quantity with the last shipment made under this contract provided it meets all contractual requirements existing at time of delivery.

E.5 NOTICE REGARDING FIRST ARTICLE

(a) Notwithstanding the provisions for waiver of first article, an additional first article sample (or portion thereof) may be ordered by the Contracting Officer in writing when (i) a major change is made to the technical data, (ii) whenever there is a lapse in

17 40

(c) Costs of any additional testing and inspection resulting from conditions specified above shall be borne by the Contractor, unless the change was directed by the Government. Further, any production delays caused by additional testing and inspection will not be the basis for an excusable delay as defined in the default clause of this contract.
