Any material scrapped during manufacturing must be accounted for, and re-branding that obscures original OEM markings is strictly prohibited. Source approval is mandatory and must be obtained from the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division at Lakehurst, with offerors either being pre-approved sources or furnishing products from such sources, supported by documentation including a source approval letter from NAVICP Philadelphia or other qualifying evidence. A comprehensive set of Contract Data Requirements Lists (CDRLs) must be fulfilled, including First Article Testing, Production Test and Inspection Reports, Certificate of Quality Compliance, welding procedures and qualifications, welder performance records, Level III certifications, and NDT written procedures, all subject to specific delivery timelines ranging from 90 to 390 days after order.
