C.3 DRAWING LIMITATIONS

C.3.1 The drawings supplied with this contract are not shop or process drawings. The drawings are engineering design drawings, are adequate to permit manufacture, and:

C.3.1.1 depicts the completed (item(s), and

C.3.1.2 serves as the basis for inspection of the completed item(s).

C.3.2 These drawings DO NOT cover intermediate drawings/specifications or steps in the manufacturing process. As a result, even if all the dimensions and tolerances specified in the engineering design drawing for each individual part are met, a cumulative unacceptable fit for the contract item could result.

C.3.3 The Contractor is responsible for producing the shop or process drawings needed to cover intermediate steps in the manufacturing process.

C.3.4 The Contractor agrees that he has obtained all specifications and drawings necessary to manufacture the items being solicited in accordance with the TDP including all incorporated specifications and drawings. The contractor is responsible for having all drawings and specifications. Delivery delays are not excusable where the contractor asserts that it did not have a specification or drawing and has failed to request, in writing, the specification from either the Contracting Officer or Contract Specialist prior to the solicitation closing date.

C.3.5 Failure to produce an end item with a cumulative fit that conforms to Government drawings, specifications or other supplemental manufacturing documentation, will result in the Contractor being responsible for correcting this condition at no additional cost to the Government and no delivery schedule extension.

C.4 CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT DOCUMENTATION

C.4.1 The Contractor may submit Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs), Requests for Variance (RFVs), and Notices of Revision (NORs) for the requirements in the Government-provided Technical Data Package (TDP).

C.4.2 The Configuration Change Management section of SAE EIA-649-1 (current revision) Configuration Management Requirement for Defense Contracts, Paragraph 3.3, shall be used for configuration control of material with the following exclusions: paragraph 3.3(3); and the second sentence of paragraph 3.3.1.8.1(1).

C.4.3 Furnished item(s) shall conform to the approved configuration requirements/revision unless an RFV is processed and approved as provided by Paragraph C.5.6. below. The term "Request for Variance" includes Requests for Deviations and Waivers.

C.4.4 Value Engineering Change Proposals (VECPs) for cost saving improvements to the TDP should not be processed per SAE EIA-649-1 (current revision) and should be referred to Section I Clause 52.248-1 VALUE ENGINEERING.

C.4.5 All ECPs submitted will be deemed routine. The Contractor must include justification for an ECP it considers emergency or urgent in the submittal and include all supporting documentation.

C.4.6 For ECPs, RFVs, and NORs, the Contractor must submit the documentation listed in sub-paragraphs

C.4.6.1 through C.4.6.3. Failure to submit a complete legible package may result in return of the ECP/RFV/NOR without processing.

C.4.6.1 for ECPs, the Contractor shall prepare and deliver the ECP in accordance with (IAW)

CDRL 900101.

C.4.6.2 for RFVs, the Contractor shall prepare and deliver the RFV IAW CDRL 900102.

C.4.6.3 for NORs, the Contractor shall prepare and deliver the NOR IAW CDRL 900103.

C.4.7 The Governments acceptance of the data deliverable required by CDRL/DD Form 1423 in C.

4.6.1 through C.4.6.3 above signifies only that the data satisfies the requirements of the DID and is considered acceptable for Government processing. Acceptance of the data deliverable does not signify "technical approval" of the change proposed by the deliverable and should not be interpreted as authorizing the Contractor to proceed with the work proposed by the change.

Disposition of the change (approval/disapproval) will follow acceptance of the CDRL at the Governments sole discretion. Incorporation of an approved RFV or ECP will require execution of a contract modification.

C.4.8 The Contractor should direct questions regarding the status of an ECP or RFV to the Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO), copy to the Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO).

C.4.9 The submission of an ECP/RFV/NOR does not affect the required delivery date of the contract.
