Description

1. JUSTIFICATION FOR ESTABLISHING A QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENT a. Criticality: Production of this Trailing Edge, Aircraft requires engineering source approval by the engineering support activity 416 SCMS/GUEAA in order to maintain the quality of the part. Failure to procure this Trailing Edge, Aircraft from a fully qualified source can result in structural or functional deficiencies that will degrade the mission capability of the F-16 Aircraft. b. Complexity, Manufacturing Processes, and/or Material Considerations: Inadequate control of characteristics associated with machining and processing of this Trailing Edge, Aircraft can result in product structural or durability degradation. Close tolerance matching of components is required. Special care and attention is required for surface finish, assembly, and sealing of this Trailing Edge, Aircraft to assure compliance with specified acceptance test requirements. c. Form, Fit, Function, and Interface: The qualification requirements specified herein are necessary to verify the structural and/or functional integrity and/or fit, form, and interface of the Trailing Edge, Aircraft being procured. 2. REASON WHY QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENT MUST BE DEMONSTRATED PRIOR TO ANY CONTRACT AWARD a. Completion of the specified pre-contract award qualification requirements are necessary to assure the government that the offeror is capable of producing the Trailing Edge, Aircraft in compliance with the applicable technical specification/data within the schedule and economic constraints of our contracts. There are significant technical and schedule risks which can only be minimized by a completion of the requirements prior to contract award. b. Qualification Requirement Cost Estimate: Estimated likely costs for testing and evaluation, which will be incurred by the potential offering party to become qualified: $4000. c. Qualification Time Completion Estimate: It is the estimate of the engineering support activity that completion of this qualification effort should require 180 days. This is based on complexity of the Trailing Edge, Aircraft and other factors.
