This is an urgent Critical Safety Item procurement for newly manufactured spares only; refurbished, remanufactured, or repaired material is unacceptable, and offers from non-government-approved sources will be technically unacceptable unless the item is a P-8/P-3 commercial item with FAA certification. The contractor must maintain a quality system meeting Mil-I-45208A, Mil-Q-9858, ISO 9000/9001/9002, or equivalent, with responsibility for inspection, quality documentation, a repair quality plan, purchased material control, receiving inspection, failure analysis, nonconforming material control, and limited IRB authority for minor nonconformances. The Government retains MRB authority for "as-is" and minor nonconformances and may conduct quarterly repair assessment testing on randomly selected accepted CLINs shipped to a Government-designated location. Historical record files and QA history cards must be maintained by CLIN serial number, packaging must comply with MIL-STD-2073 as found in the schedule, and markings must comply with MIL-STD-130. A 12-month warranty applies, defects must be reported within 45 days of discovery, and receiving inspection evidence must be retained at least 12 months after end item acceptance.
