SECTION C:

1. QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS THAT MUST BE SATISFIED TO BECOME A QUALIFIED SOURCE

a. Prequalification Notice: The offeror shall notify the appropriate government Small Business

Office or, if responding to a solicitation, the contracting officer in the appropriate government

contracting office, of intent to qualify as a source for this AIBU.

b. Facilities, Testing, and Inspection Capabilities: The offeror must certify to the government

that they have, or have access to, the required facilities and equipment to repair, inspect, test,

package, and store the item. The offeror shall make their facilities, equipment, tooling, and

personnel available for evaluation and inspection by the government.

c. Data Verification: The offeror must verify that they have a complete data package. This

verification must include a complete list of all procedures, drawings, and specifications,

including change notices, in the offeror’s possession including, at a minimum SCI TECHNOLOGY, INC

(2J622) drawing 5188110. The offeror may also be required to produce copies of all applicable

procedures, drawings, or specifications.

d. Repair Process Verification: The offeror must repair this item to conform to the government

requirements as prescribed within the ESA-approved engineering/technical data package. The offeror

must show compliance with Unique Identification (UID) requirements in accordance with DFARS 211.274

as prescribed within the ESA-approved engineering/technical data package. The offeror must provide,

at their own expense, data showing the results of all quality, performance, and environmental

evaluations conducted by the offeror to show compliance with the government requirements as

prescribed by 416th SCMS/GUEAA. The offeror shall also identify its sources for materials and its

standards for internally used processes.

e. Test and Evaluation and/or Verification: The offeror, at their own expense, shall prepare and

submit to 416th SCMS/GUEAA for their prior approval, a qualification test plan/procedure detailing

how they intend to verify compliance with all performance, environmental, mechanical, and quality

assurance requirements identified by Drawing 5188110. After completion of the approved

qualification testing, the offeror shall be required to submit a complete test report of the

results to 416th SCMS/GUEAA for their review and approval prior to the contract award. The

government retains the right to exercise the option to inspect the testing processes, including

on-site witnessing of any or all documented testing. To allow accomplishing this, the offeror shall

notify the government at least 30 days in advance of the occurrence of any testing that will be

used as a basis for qualification. The offeror’s facilities shall be made available for government

inspection during these tests.

f. Qualification Article Verification: The offeror must provide, at their own expense, a

pre-contract award qualification article for evaluation by the government. This article must comply

with all of the requirements of Drawing 5188110. This article shall be subjected to a form, fit,

and function evaluation to demonstrate compatibility with the weapon system and to evaluate the

repair capability of the offeror. Offerors will be notified whether or not their qualification

article passed or failed the required qualification testing within 90 days of submitting a product

for qualification testing. Note that successful completion of the qualification testing does not

guarantee any contract award. If the offeror is deemed qualified and awarded the contract, a

post-contract award first article exhibit may be required to verify production capability.

g. Qualification Requirement Cost Estimate: Estimated likely costs for testing and evaluation,

which will be incurred by the potential offering party to become qualified are $23,300.00.

h. 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 AIBU and other factors.

i. Qualification Time Limitation: An offeror may not be denied the opportunity to submit and have

considered an offer for a contract if the offeror can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the

contracting officer that the offeror (or its product) meets these standards for qualification or

can meet them before the date specified for award of the contract. The award will not be delayed to

provide the vendor with an opportunity to demonstrate its ability to meet the standards specified

in this qualification requirement.

j. Evaluation of Proposals Not Previously Qualified: The offeror must be fully qualified in order

to be eligible for a contract award. Therefore, the offeror must fulfill all of the requirements

stated, in writing, in the qualification requirement before the date specified for award of the

contract. Once all requirements are met, the offeror will be listed as an approved repair source

for this item. Approval, however, does not guarantee subsequent contract award.
