C.5.7 The Contractor should direct questions regarding the status of an ECP or RFV to the Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) and copy the Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO).

D.1.6 This SPI has been validated and the method of preservation/packing has proven successful in meeting the needs of the military distribution system, including indeterminate storage and shipment throughout the world. Special instructions and/or tailoring of the SPI is detailed in the Supplemental Instructions below. A prototype package is required to validate the sizes and fit requirements of the

SPI. Minor dimensional and size changes are acceptable provided contractor provides the PCO and ACO with notification 60 days prior to delivery. Any design changes or changes in the method of preservation that provide a cost savings without degrading the method of preservation or packing or affecting the serviceability of the item will be considered and responded to within 10 days of submission to PCO and ACO. Government reserves the right to require testing to validate alternate industrial preservation methods, materials, alternate blocking, bracing, cushioning, and packing.

D.1.7 SUPPLEMENTAL INSTRUCTIONS: The following Engineering Exceptions shall apply to this procurement: ANSI MH1, if required, can be obtained on the Material Handlers Institute of America's website, www.mhi.org , referenced simply as MH1. The standard is available at no cost, but free registration on the site is required to obtain the document.

E.2 REWORK AND REPAIR OF NONCONFORMING MATERIAL

E.2.1 Rework and Repair are defined as follows:

E.2.1.1 Rework - The reprocessing of nonconforming material to make it conform completely to the drawings, specifications or contract requirements.

E.2.1.2 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.

E.2.2 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.

E.2.3 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.

E.2.4 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.2.5 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.

.3 USE OF MIL-STD 1916

E.3.1 The Government will not accept lots whose samples submitted for acceptance contain non-conformances unless appropriately documented and approved by the contracting officer. The contractor shall use MIL-STD 1916, DOD Preferred Methods of Acceptance of

Product. The Verification Level (VL) shall be VL -1- for major characteristics and VL -2- for minor characteristics.

E.3.2 MIL-STD HDBK-1916 provides guidance on the use of MIL-STD 1916. This handbook is not contractually binding.

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

E.3.1 The Contractor shall conduct production lot testing (PLT) for each production lot to be tendered to the Government for acceptance.

E.3.2 The samples shall be selected, examined, and tested in accordance with -1-

E.3.3 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.

E.3.4 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.3.5 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.

E.3.6 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.

E.3.7 PLT samples not consumed or destroyed in testing may be delivered as part of the production quantities due under the contract.
