Configuration Change Management - Engineering Change Proposal, Requests for Variance (Deviation or Waiver) February 2015

1.  Requirements

     A.  The Configuration Change Management section of SAE EIA-649-1

Configuration Management Requirement for Defense Contracts, Paragraph 3.3, shall be used for Configuration Control of material purchased under this contract.

     B.  Furnished item(s) shall conform to the approved configuration requirements/revision specified, unless a Pre-Production Request for Variance (deviation) or a Post-Production Request for Variance (waiver), is processed and approved as provided by Paragraph 3. in this Standard Text Object (STO).  Hereafter, the term "Request for Variance (RFV)" will also include Requests for Deviations and Waivers.

2.  The definitions from EIA-649-1 apply to items being procured under this solicitation/contract, with the following clarification of Deviation & Waiver:

     A.  Pre-Production RFV (previously known as deviation) requests permission to produce a product that does not conform to contract requirements/documentation for a limited amount of time and for specified effectivity.  (A deviation differs from an engineering change in that an approved engineering change requires corresponding revision of the item's current approved configuration documentation, whereas a deviation does not.).

     B.  Post-Production RFV (previously known as waiver) requests approval of product found during manufacture, or after having been submitted for Government inspection or acceptance, that departs from specified requirements, but nevertheless is considered suitable for use "as is" or after repair by an approved method.

3.  Contractor responsibilities.

     A.  An Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) is used to make permanent changes in the Government technical data package (TDP).  Pending approval of an ECP, contractual relief should be requested in writing by the Contractor using a RFV.

     B.  Refer to FAR Part 48 Value Engineering for cost saving improvements to the Technical Data Package (TDP).

     C.  All ECPs submitted by the Contractor will be deemed routine.  If the Contractor considers an ECP as an emergency or urgent; they shall include in their ECP submittal an explanation and all applicable supporting documentation.  All ECPs will be reviewed for a determination on criticality, and, if concurred to be an emergency, the appropriate processing time-frame negotiated with the ESAs will be followed and the Contractor will be notified of anticipated response time.

     D. For ECPs, Specification Change Notices (SCNs) or RFV, the Contractor must submit the applicable documentation listed in sub-paragraphs D.(1) through D.(4)to the Administrative Contracting Officer(ACO), with an information copy to the Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO).  Failure to submit a complete legible package may result in return of the ECP/RFV without processing.

          (1) Documentation listed in Paragraph 3.3.1 (for ECPs), 3.3.2 (RFV), 3.3.3 (for SCNs) or 3.3.4 (for Notices of Revision (NORs)) of the latest revision of EIA-649-1.

          (2) DD Form 1692 (current revision) for ECP.

          (3)  DD Form 1694 (current revision) for RFV.

          (4)  DD Form 1695 (current revision) for NOR.

4.  DLA's responsibilities:

     A.  Upon receipt of the ECP or RFV, the PCO will ensure that the applicable product specialist receives the copy from DCMA.

     B.  Within five (5) working days from the date of receipt of the Contractor's ECP or RFV from DCMA, the PS must submit the requests and any supporting documentation via a 339 to the appropriate Engineering Support Activity (ESA), when applicable.

     C.  Routine ECPs will be processed within 90 days from receipt by the ESA.  RFVs will be evaluated and processed within 30 days from receipt by the ESA or as negotiated with the ESA.

          (1)  The contractor will be notified in writing of approval by the return of an approved copy of the ECP or RFV.  Approval will be reflected by signature of the contracting activity or a review activity specifically identified in the contract.

          (2)  The contractor will be notified in writing of disapproval including reason(s) for disapproval.

5.  For an approved RFV or an approved ECP, when the request affects the Contract, a modification will be issued to the contract incorporating the applicable requirement changes.  Only a Contracting Officer is authorized to issue a modification incorporating the approved RFV and/or ECP.

6.  Questions regarding the status of previously submitted ECP or RFV should be directed to the PCO.

7.  The submission of an ECP or RFV by the Contractor does not affect the required delivery date of the contract.  If a delivery date change is needed, it must be negotiated with the Contracting Officer and documented via modification to the contract.

8.  The period of time for evaluation and approval/disapproval of an ECP and/or a RFV, as specified in Paragraph 4. C., shall not constitute excusable delay in the performance of this Contract by the Contractor or in any way relieve the contractor from compliance with the contract delivery schedule.  The submission of an ECP and/or RFV by the Contractor shall not preclude the Government from exercising its rights under any clause of the Contract.  (End)

The solicitation will be available in FedBizOpps on its issue date of August 11, 2016.   

Based upon market research, the Government is not using the policies contained in Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items, in its solicitation for the described supplies or services.  However, interested persons may identify to the contracting officer their interest and capability to satisfy the Government's requirement with a commercial item within 15 days of this notice.

The Contracting Officer may utilize on-line Reverse Auctioning as a means of conducting price discussions under this solicitation.  During the course of the on-line auction, offerors' proposed prices will be publicly disclosed to other offerors and anyone else having access to the on-line auction.  This public disclosure is anonymous, meaning that each offeror's identity will be concealed from other offerors (although it will be known to the Government), and only generic identifiers will be used publicly for each offeror's proposed pricing (e.g., "Offeror A").  By submitting a proposal in response to the solicitation, offerors agree to participate in the Reverse Auction and that their prices may be publicly disclosed, including to other offerors, during the Reverse Auction.  An offeror's final auction price will be considered its final proposal revision.

No price revisions will be accepted after the close of the Reverse Auction, unless the Contracting Officer decides that further discussions are needed and final proposal revisions are again requested in accordance with FAR 15.307.  All offers shall be in the English language and in U.S. dollars.
