Facilities. The contractor must certify to the government that they have (or have access to) the required facilities, tools and specialized equipment to manufacture, inspect, test, and package the item. The contractor shall provide a summary of the company�s capabilities, including a detailed factory layout, a list of the machinery, fixtures, tooling, and test and inspection equipment, any specialized equipment and the personnel skill level that will be performing the effort. The contractor shall make their facilities, equipment, tooling, and personnel available for evaluation and inspection by the government. 3. Manufacture. The contractor must manufacture this item to conform to all the requirements of the latest revision of Drawings 209F953 rev E. The contractor must provide, at their own expense, data showing the results of quality, performance, and environmental evaluations conducted by the contractor to show compliance with the requirements (tolerance, tooling, finishing, forging, casting and etc.) of the drawings and specifications for the same item or a similar item(s). Contractors are cautioned that if any qualified tooling was used to produce all previously produced 209F953 item, that the tooling is the property of the OEM and cannot be made available for the contractor�s use by the government. Potential bidder shall provide a detailed quality plan implementing ISO 9001 (or equivalent); this requirement may be satisfied by evidence of an independent ISO 9001 certification or current/previous DCMA-administered contract that required ISO 9001 (or equivalent) compliance. At any time, the government retains the right to inspect the contractor�s facilities; and manufacturing, quality, test and environmental processes and documentation. 4. First Article Test (FAT) Requirements. If the contractor is awarded a contract, the contractor will be required to provide two post-contract award first article exhibits to evaluate the manufacturing capability of the contractor. The articles must comply with all of the requirements of the end item drawing (209F953 rev E). Complete FAT at government�s expense may include form, fit, function and test firing. The First Article may be required even if a Source Qualification Wavier is granted IAW Section C5 below. 5. Waiver. Sources who meet any of the following Source Qualification Waiver Criteria (QWC) may apply for a waiver of all or part of the qualification requirements: QWC1: The potential source submits written certification that the articles have been supplied to the government or original equipment manufacturer and shall provide the following: 1. Contract Number 2. Procuring Agency 3. Contract Value 4. Number of assets shipped 5. Copies of DD Form 250, Material Inspection and Receiving Report, Purchase Order, or Invoice QWC2: The potential source is qualified on the right-hand article and requests to be qualified on the left-hand article. If the right-and left-hand articles are mirror images of each other, then approval can generally be given. QWC3: A source qualified to provide an assembly is usually qualified to provide subassemblies, major components, and items of that assembly. QWC4: A source qualified to provide earlier dash numbers of a basic P/N may be qualified to provide other dash numbers of that same basic P/N, provided there is no increase in complexity, criticality, or other relevant requirements. QWC5: A source qualified to provide a similar or like item can be qualified to provide the required item, if the source can produce proof that they have (or have access to) the tooling available to produce a qualified casting and the source can prove that they have the ability to carry out the machining and specialized heat treatment processes. However, for approval, the engineering authority must verify that there is no increase in complexity, criticality, or other requirements over that of the similar item. As a minimum, the source shall provide a complete set of drawings for the similar item and written proof, such as purchase orders, shipping documents, etc., to show that the similar item was provided to the original equipment manufacturer or DoD. QWC6: A source previously qualified to provide an item, but which has been purchased, sold, merged, absorbed, reformed, split, etc., may qualify if it can be established that the qualification is currently with the requester and that the requester has the same or equivalent facilities, tooling, equipment, personnel, and utilizes the original forging, castings, etc., in the manufacturing process.
