Failures occurring during Government conducted testing are subject to this requirement.

C.8.B Lot Traceability

The Offeror shall maintain complete and accurate records of the system serial numbers that correspond to each lot produced, and shall make these records available for review by the Government upon request.

CDRL B002)

The Offeror will also submit material certification and samples used for manufacturing in the FPL report in accordance with CDRL B002.

C.8.D Material Certification and Samples (CLIN 0005 - Exhibit E - CDRL E005)

In accordance with Exhibit E CDRL E005 and FAR 52.246-2, PM-SCIE will review textile and hardware material certification for MC-6 systems from each production facility on a monthly basis. Specific textiles and hardware for review will be requested from the Prime Offeror each month, and those certifications will be due to the Government on the first business day of the following month. Only the most current certificates for each item requested should be submitted for review. To facilitate the material certification compliance review, a 6 inch narrow fabric sample and a 6x6 inch broad fabric sample shall be sent in with each certification in addition to additional material requested for laboratory testing. Hardware samples are not required with certificates unless specifically requested. The samples must be taken from the corresponding lot of goods represented on the certification, and the sampling must be overseen by DCMA. These samples will be retained on file or destructively tested; therefore, the samples will not be returned to the manufacturer. This review is for surveillance purposes only and is not an approval process. As such, it is expected that these materials will have passed all internal quality inspection and acceptance criteria and this review should not hold up production. Material lots for certificates under review may be used before the evaluation is complete. In addition, any prior approvals received on certifications and samples for common material on other contracts shall not relieve the requirement for the Offeror to submit certifications and samples independently on this contract. Monthly reviews will be provided to the Offeror within 90 days of receipt.

Certifications and samples should be sent to the following address:

US Army Natick Soldier System Center PM-SCIE Personnel Airdrop Systems ATTN: SFAE-SDR-SCIE, G. Mark Whiteman 15 General Greene Ave Natick, MA 01760-5011

See Section J, Exhibit E, CDRL E005 for a list of certifications and associated samples that will be requested for compliance review during each twelve (12) month cycle. Problems identified with the certifications or samples will be handled on a case by case basis and may require submission of additional larger samples.

C.9 CERTIFICATE OF CONFORMANCE (COC)

When COC for materials and/or end items are required, test data documentation must accompany the COC. The Government reserves the right to inspect such items to determine the validity of the certification.

C.10 MEETINGS, TECHNICAL REVIEWS AND CONFERENCES:

C.10.1 Post Award Conference. The Offeror shall attend and participate in a technical and contractual conference, with Government personnel, to be conducted within 30 days after contract award during regular business hours of 0900 – 1500, Monday through Friday.

The Government will evaluate equally, as regards time of delivery, offers that propose delivery of each quantity within the applicable delivery period specified above. The Government reserves the right to award under either the required delivery schedule or the proposed delivery schedule, when an offeror offers an earlier delivery schedule than required above. If the offeror proposes no other delivery schedule, the required delivery schedule above will apply.

OFFEROR'S PROPOSED DELIVERY SCHEDULE

CLIN QUANTITY SCHEDULE

0001- 0006 1 As required per each CDRL 1000 10 * Due no later than ___ days after receipt of order (ARO) 1001 See Schedule ___ complete systems due either ___ days ARO or ___ days after the required date for CLIN 1000, if ordered;

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 Contractor's 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.
