DD 1423 Data Item A001 (Inspection and Test Plan) may be waived if already on file at NAVSUP WSS Mechanicsburg. 2. Consistent with FAR 52.216-18, "All contractual documents (i.e. contracts, purchase orders, task orders, delivery orders and modifications) related to the instant procurement are considered to be "issued" by the Government when copies are either deposited in the mail, transmitted by facsimile, or sent by other electronic commerce methods, such as email. The Government's acceptance of the contractor's proposal constitutes bilateral agreement to "issue" contractual documents as detailed herein. 3. NAVSUP WSS Mech will be considering past performance in the evaluation ofoffers. See Clauses DFARS 252.213-7000 and WSSTERMMZ01. 4. Available drawings and additional documents can be accessed through beta.SAM.gov. 5. Submission of ALL DD form 1423 certification data (CDRLs) will be on orbefore 20 days prior to delivery. PNSY review/acceptance of CDRLs shall be 6working days after receipt of CDRLs. Final delivery of material will be on orbefore 210 days after the effective date of the contract. \ 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. 1.1.1 LI-SOC ITEM - It has been determined that this item falls within both the Level I boundary and the Scope of Certification (SOC) boundary. 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. 2.3 Specification Revisions - The specification revisions listed under "Docu ments 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. 2.3.1 Documents, drawings, and publications supplied are listed under "Drawing Number". These items should be retained until an award is made. 2.3.2 "Document References" listed below must be obtained by the Contractor. Ordering information is included as an attachment to this contract/purchase order.

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 batches or loss of traceability. The traceability marking shall be reapplied upon completion of the final manufacturing process. 3.16.4 Purchase orders for raw material shall specify that the material be traceable to material certification test reports by traceability codes that are marked on the material and identified on the test reports. The certification data requirements herein shall be invoked by the prime contractor on all subcontractors supplying Level I material. 3.16.5 The material control process shall 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 shall specify a method and marking location for remarking.
