1. SCOPE
1.1 The material covered in this contract/purchase order will be used in a crucial shipboard system. The use of incorrect or defective material would create a high probability of failure resulting in serious personnel injury, loss of life, loss of vital
shipboard systems, or loss of the ship itself. Therefore, the material has been designated as SPECIAL EMPHASIS material (Level I, Scope of Certification, or Quality Assured) and special control procedures are invoked to ensure receipt of correct material.
2. APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS
2.1 Order of Precedence - In the event of a conflict between the text of this contract/purchase order and the references and/or drawings cited herein, the text of this contract/purchase order must take precedence. Nothing in this contract/purchase order,
however, must supersede applicable laws and regulations unless a specific exemption has been obtained.
2.2 Applicable Documents - The document(s) listed below form a part of this contract/purchase order including modifications or exclusions.
2.2.1 "Document References" listed below must be obtained by the Contractor. Ordering information is included as an attachment to this contract/purchase order.
2.2.2 Specification Revisions - The specification revisions listed under "Documents References" below are the preferred revision. Older and/or newer r evisions are acceptable when listed within Contract Support Library Reference Number CSD155 in ECDS (Electric
Contractor Data Submission) at: ht tps://register.nslc.navy.mil/. This is to allow Contractors to use certain acceptable older specification revisions to purge their existing stock of material certified to those older revisions or to use newer specification
revisions when material is certified to newly released revisions,without requiring the submittal of waiver/deviation requests for each specification revision on every contract. Revisions of specifications reflecting editorial and/or re-approval (e.g. E2009,
R2014, etc.) are considered inconsequential, but are acceptable when their revisions are listedwithin CSD155 or elsewhere within this contract.
2.2.3 Documents, drawings, and publications supplied are listed under "Drawing Number". These items should be retained until an award is made.

3.22 Traceability and Certification Requirements - To assure that correct materials are installed in Level I/SUBSAFE systems, it is imperative that traceability be maintained from the material to the material certification test report and other required
Objective Quality Evidence (OQE). The material certification report must completely and accurately reflect that the material supplied meets the specified requirements. Materials requiring Traceability and Certification Data are identified within Paragraph 3,
Section C of this contract/purchase order.
3.22.1 The following provides the minimum requirements for maintaining material traceability and supplements the requirements specified in DI-MISC-81020 and elsewhere in the contract/purchase order. The Contractor must develop written procedures that
implement the material control requirements stated herein and elsewhere in this Contract/Purchase Order.
3.23 Material Traceability - The certification data report must be identified through a unique traceability number, heat-lot number, or heat-treat number, as applicable, which must also be marked on the material. This traceability marking on the material must
provide direct traceability to the material's chemical composition and mechanical properties certification data. For material produced by batch, continuous cast, or continuous pour processes, samples must be taken no less than once in every eight hours of
operation for the purpose of validating proper chemical composition and mechanical properties. Traceability must be maintained through all process operations including any subcontracted operations, to the finished component.
3.23.1 Material Marking for Traceability and Identification - The following are the minimum marking requirements. Additional/alternate marking requirements, if applicable, will be specified elsewhere in the contract/purchase order. In addition to the
marking requirements on applicable drawings and/or specifications, marking for traceability is required. All traceability markings must be permanently applied in accordance with MIL-STD-792 (except as specified below). An alternate marking method is
permissible provided it is an available option in the contractually invoked specification or drawing, except in instances where the material has been modified by this contract/purchase order and differs from that specified in the specification or drawing.
3.23.2 Traceability markings for items with precision machined or plated surfaces, or material with suitable marking surface areas less than 3/8 inches square (either 3/8" x 3/8" or an area equal to 0.1406 inches square) must be applied to a durable tag and
the tag securely affixed to the material.
3.23.3 Traceability markings must be maintained through assembly, and whenever possible must be visible after assembly. For items where the marking is not visible after assembly, a durable tag must be securely attached to the assembly identifying the part
number, piece number, traceability number, and the location of the permanent mark.
3.23.4 Marking must be legible and must be located so as to not affect the form, fit, and function of the material. ; ;
3.24 See CDRL DI-MISC-81020 (Chemical and Mechanical) - Material Certification - In addition to the certification data requirements specified in DI-MISC-81020, the following material certification requirements apply:
3.24.1 Quantitative chemical and mechanical analysis of material traceable to traceability markings is required. Material certification test reports must include the class, form, condition, grade, type, finish, and/or composition, as applicable, of the
material supplied.
3.24.2 Re-identification and re-certification of material is required when the material is subjected to a process which alters it's properties. If the starting material or raw stock is processed in a manner that will not affect its chemical composition or
mechanical properties, the original certifications for the chemical composition and mechanical properties, as required by the material specification, are acceptable. Re-certification of the chemical or mechanical properties is required if a process is used
during fabrication that alters the original properties of the material (e.g. alloying, heat treating, or forming). In these instances, the properties of the material must be re-determined and documented to reflect the altered condition. The altered material
must be uniquely re-identified. The properties thus determined and documented, are required for final certification and must conform to the material specification or the contract/purchase order requirements. When only the mechanical properties are altered,
the original certification forchemical composition must be overstamped and annotated with the unique traceability material and at a minimum contain the information below.
TRACEABILITY MARKING ________________________________________________

requirements. Transcription of certification data is prohibited.
3.24.4 Statements on material certification documents must be positive and unqualified. Disclaimers such as "to the best of our knowledge" or "we believe the information contained herein is true" are not acceptable.
3.24.5 If material is received without the required certification papers or with incorrect/missing data on the certification papers, the material will be rejected.
3.25 Material Handling - The written material control process must include the following:
3.25.1 All raw materials must have traceability markings (except as specified below).
3.25.2 Stored raw materials requiring traceability must be segregated to preclude intermingling with materials not requiring traceability.
3.25.3 When traceability markings will be removed by a manufacturing or fabrication process, the marking must be recorded prior to removal and be immediately restored upon completion of the process. If this cannot be done or is impractical, an appropriate
material control procedure (such as a bag and tag, tagging, and/or tote box control) must be employed. The material control procedure must provide a method of positive control to preclude commingling of heats/lots or loss of traceability. The traceability
marking must be reapplied upon completion of the final manufacturing process.
3.25.4 Brazing or weld filler metals for strength welds forming or integral with pressure containing components or assemblies requiring traceability must be verified to be the correct material, and type or grade, as applicable, prior to consumption. At a
minimum, material verification must consist of inspection of material test reports for conformance to specified requirements. Control of welding and brazing filler metals must be maintained to the point of consumption to assure use of the correct type and
grade. Markings and traceability requirements do not apply to brazing and weld filler metals after consumption. It is the responsibility of the prime contractor to ensure conformance with the above requirements on welds performed by their subcontractors.
3.25.5 Purchase orders for raw material must specify that the material be traceable to material certification test reports by traceability markings on the material and identified on the test reports. The certification data requirements contained in
DI-MISC-81020 must be invoked by the prime contractor on all subcontractors supplying Level I material.
3.25.6 The material control process must include requirements for the maintenance of traceability for items sent out for subcontracted operations. If such operations would remove traceability markings, purchase or work orders must specify a method and marking
location for remarking. The contractor must also ensure that subcontractor production controls are adequate to preclude commingling of materials during processing.
3.26 Receiving inspection -
3.26.1 Products and services produced by sub-tier suppliers for incorporation in the contract end item must be subject to inspection or audit at the time of receipt by the prime prior to further processing within the prime contractor's plant or shipment to
another location.
3.26.2 Receiving Inspection must include as a minimum -
Verification that the traceability marking on the material agrees with that on the certification test reports.
Verification that certification test reports are legible and complete.
Verification that the contents of the certification test reports are in compliance with the contractually invoked specifications and requirements.
3.27 Discrepancy reporting -
3.27.1 Nonconforming products from sub-tier suppliers must be identified and processed in accordance with the prime contractor's procedures for controlling nonconforming products. The prime contractor must report the receipt of any nonconforming products to
the responsible sub-tier supplier in accordance with established procedures. Nonconforming material records must be maintained and available for review by the government Quality Assurance Representative (QAR).
3.28 Final Inspection - The following inspections must be performed prior to Government inspection and acceptance.
3.28.1 Material Sampling - Material must be inspected for form, fit, and function. Lot acceptance must be based on zero defects and lot rejection based on one defect. The sample size must be in accordance with the sampling plan(s) in the applicable military
specification or standard, federal specification or standard, or drawing to which the material was manufactured. In the absence of such sampling plans, sampling inspection must be per ANSI/ASQ-Z1.4, general inspection level II (for sample size selection code),
table IIA (for sample size).
SMALL LOT SIZES - For lot sizes of fifty or less, the minimum sample size must be eight units. For lot sizes of eight or less, the sample size must be one hundred percent of the lot.
3.28.2 The Manufacturer may elect to use Statistical Process Control (SPC) to assure product quality in lieu of the above attribute sampling plan, provided that the SPC methodology/system used provides acceptable products to the Government. However, the
Government/Navy Receipt Inspection Activity may perform their acceptance inspection of the material using the attribute sampling plan outlined above.
3.28.3 All data concerning material verification (chemical, mechanical or physical properties), traceability (material certifications to material marking), and nondestructive test (NDT) certifications for material must be 100% inspected. The certification
test reports must also be 100% inspected for completeness and legibility.
3.28.4 All material requiring traceability must be 100% inspected for traceability marking and that the marking is legible.

6.1.3 Critical Process - As determined by the TWH, any process, operation or action performed on a Ship CSI that serves to establish a critical characteristic (such as welding, soldering, machining, polishing, cleaning, or assembling) or confirm that a
critical characteristic is within drawing or specification compliance (such as, testing, measurement, or non-destructive evaluation).
6.1.4 First Article - Pre-production models, initial product samples, test samples produced to ensure a manufacturer's capability to meet full specification requirements.
6.1.5 First Article Test (FAT) - Contractually required testing and inspection of a supplier's pre-production, production, or "production representative" specimens to evaluate a manufacturer's ability to produce conforming product prior to the Government's
commitment to receive subsequent production items. First Article Testing is product specific and does not assess manufacturing process controls nor does it assure the effectiveness of the manufacturer's quality program.
6.1.6 Government Source Inspection (GSI) - GSI is independent oversight performed by a government representative usually a DCMA Quality Assurance Representative (QAR)) to assure that those unique product quality and system elements, identified by the
Contracting Agency as important, are observed and evaluated.
6.1.7 Quality Assurance Letter of Instruction (QALI) - A QALI is a formal document initiated by a contracting activity that provides essential requirements and instructions for contracted materials to be independently verified and accepted by a government
representative prior to shipment.
6.1.8 Objective Quality Evidence (OQE) - The quantitative and qualitative data of all mechanical, chemical, and performance tests performed (as required by the applicable specification, drawing, or purchase document) to prove that the material supplied
conforms to the specified requirements.
6.1.9 Surface Discontinuity - Any surface irregularity, marking, or localized change in physical character of the surface, other than dimensional, that exists infrequently at one or several places. (Examples: burrs, dents, nicks, scratches, gouges, pits,
center-punches, scribes, and tool marks) Surface discontinuities less than 0.005-inch in depth are acceptable provided they do not violate any other design requirements specified in this Contract/Purchase Order.
6.1.10 Traceability Code - A code or number providing traceability to the actual chemical and mechanical properties of the specified heat, batch, or form from which the material originated.
6.1.11 Verification - An examination performed to determine compliance with a specific requirement.
6.1.12 Nonconformance - A nonconformance is defined as affecting or violating the following:
- The requirements of this contract/purchase order.
- Contractually invoked drawings (i.e. envelope dimensions, interface dimensions with mating parts/equipment, center of gravity, weights, piece part identification, material, etc.).
- Contractually invoked federal, military, or commercial specifications and/or standards.
- Form, fit, function, performance to contract requirements, reliability, maintainability, interchangeability, safety of personnel or equipment, or additional cost to the Government.
6.1.13 Waiver - A written authorization to accept an item, which during manufacture, or after having been submitted for Government inspection or acceptance, is found to depart from specified requirements, but nevertheless is considered suitable for use as is
or after repair by an approved method.
6.1.14 Deviation - A specific written authorization (granted prior to the manufacture of an item) to depart from a particular requirement(s) of an item's current approved configuration documentation for a specific number of units or a specified period of
time, and to accept an item which is found to depart from specified requirements, but nevertheless is considered suitable for use "as is" or after repair by an approved method.
6.1.15 Critical Waiver/Deviation - This waiver/deviation consists of a departure involving safety.
6.1.16 Major Waiver/Deviation - This waiver/deviation consists of a departure involving:
- Performance
- Interchangeability, Reliability, Survivability, Maintainability, or Durability of the item or its repair parts
- Health or Safety
- Effective Use or Operation
- Weight, Stability, or Structural Integrity
- System design parameters as schematics, flows, pressures or temperatures
- Compartment arrangements or assigned function
6.1.17 Minor Waiver/Deviation - This waiver/deviation consists of a departure which does not involve any of the factors listed as critical or major.
6.1.18 Engineering Change (EC) - A change to the current approved configuration documentation of a configuration item at any point in the life cycle of the item.
6.1.19 Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) - A proposed Engineering Change and the documentation by which the change is described, justified, and submitted to the Government for approval or disapproval.
6.1.20 Class I ECP - A class I ECP is approved by the Government's Configuration Control Board and authorized with a contract modification.
6.1.21 Class II ECP - A class II change is typically reviewed for concurrence in classification by the local government representative, unless otherwise specified elsewhere in the contract/purchase order.
