SCOPE When discrepancies exist between these requirements and those on current Manufacturer's drawings, contact the contracting officer listed on page 1 block 5 of the contract. 1.1 PRE-AWARD / POST AWARD REQUIREMENTS: Due to the critical use of this item and its quality history, a pre-award survey and post-award conference may be required for all new manufacturers. For all previous sources, a post-award conference may be recommended. 1.2 Container shell material is aluminum. 1.3 When discrepancies exist between these requirements and those on current manufacturer’s drawings, contact code Buyer on Page One or code N241.10 1.4 Articles to be furnished hereunder shall be manufactured, tested and inspected in accordance with Sikorsky drawing number (78286), SPD65E-1701-001, Revision Latest, and all details and specifications referenced therein. 1.5 Unless expressly provided for elsewhere in this clause, equipment such as fixtures, jigs, dies, patterns, mylars, special tooling, test equipment, or any other manufacturing aid required for the manufacture and/or testing of the subject item(s) will not be provided by the Government or any other source and is the sole responsibility of the contractor. The foregoing applies notwithstanding any reference to such equipment or the furnishing thereof that may be contained in any drawing or referenced specification. 1.6 If MIL-STD-454 is referenced in the drawings or in the specification, the contractor is expected to show compliance with IPC/EIAJ-STD-001C. 2. APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS DOCUMENT REF DATA=MIL-I-45208 | | |A |810724|A| 1| | 3. REQUIREMENTS Contact the contracting officer listed on page one block 5 of the contract for the "Property of XXXX" on the name plate. 3.1 Reference to Cadmium plating shall be deleted and the following substituted: "Finish shall be electrodeposited alkaline Zinc-Nickel Alloy in accordance with ASTM B 841 Class 1, Type B, Grade 3." 3.2 At faying surfaces, discontinuous welds, or other areas where atmospheric liquids may be retained by capillary action, the crevice shall be sealed using Sealing Compound MIL-S-81733 or equivalent. All containers must be affixed with a nameplate that includes a Unique Identification (UID) marking as referenced in the drawing package Drawing (80132) 15930 and IAW Mil-STD-130 latest revision. The contractor shall contact NAVICP code N241.17 or code 0771.10 for the alphanumeric sequential serial number group that makes up part of the UID. The UID will be included on the nameplate in data matrix format. 3.3 Welding and welder qualifications shall be in accordance with AWS D1.1 for steel, AWS D1.2 or MIL-W-22248, Class 4 for aluminum, AWS D1.3 for sheet steel and AWS D1.6 for stainless steel. Proper controls shall be used to prevent melt through or burn through. For aluminum, filler for welding 6061 alloy shall be 4043; filler for welding 5000 series alloys to themselves or to 6061 shall be 5356 or 5556. In addition, welding and weld inspection shall include: Visual inspection with 5X magnification when a suspect condition is to be examined beyond the capability of normal vision. Critical and major welds may be subjected to further nondestructive testing (such as dye penetrant inspection) as prescribed by the buying activity. Proper documentation shall be available for review by Government personnel. 3.4 WORK INSTRUCTIONS. Work instructions shall be posted at the operator's work station giving procedures to control the welding process, i.e., filler material, weld size, electrical and gas characteristics, including flow rate. 3.5 MATERIALS AND MATERIALS CONTROL. The quality program shall assure that the materials used in fabrication or processing, i.e., base metals and weld filler material, be inspected and conform to the applicable physical, chemical and other technical requirements (supplier's certification is sufficient). 3.6 CONTROLS. Weld filler materials shall be clearly identified and segregated from each other both when in storage and at the work station. Work station environment shall be controlled to prevent conditions adverse to proper gas shielding. 3.7 CLEANING. Parts to be welded shall be cleaned to remove surface soils such as oils, waxes, grease, inks, etc., except that uninhibited alkaline solutions such as sodium hydroxide shall NOT be used. 3.8 DEOXIDIZING. The cleaned parts shall be chemically deoxidized NO MORE THAN 10 DAYS PRIOR TO WELDING to remove thick surface oxide films. (If the material or work is exposed to an outdoor environment, this time limit shall be reduced to a maximum of 3 days, to account for atmospheric effects.) Mechanical cleaning methods shall be applied just prior to the actual start of welding, to remove any reoxidation or residual thin oxide films. 3.8.1 CHEMICAL TREATMENT. An acid deoxidizing treatment shall be applied by either immersion or brushing/wiping. Deoxidizers acceptable for use shall include nitric acid, sulfuric chromic, phosphoric chromic, or equivalent solutions. Sodium hydroxide solutions shall not be used. Care shall be taken to assure 100% solution coverage of the area to be welded. To allow an adequately sized deoxidized area for good welding, the solution shall be applied to an area extending at least 2 inches from the weld site, or ending at any closer adjacent edge. 3.8.2 MECHANICAL MEANS. Immediately prior to welding, mechanical cleaning methods shall be applied to the weld areas previously chemically treated to assure removal of residual or reformed oxides, if any. Acceptable methods include stainless steel wire brushing, scraping, filing, or sanding. However, abrasives containing iron and its oxides, steel wool and wire, and copper alloy based wire, which may become embedded with galvanically active metals and accelerate corrosion of aluminum alloys, shall NOT be used. Mechanical methods shall be vigorous enough to adequately remove any residual oxide films, but gentle enough to avoid forming an excessively rough surface in the comparatively soft metal underneath. 3.9 One third (1/3) unit of desiccant (MIL-D-3464, Type II nondusting) per cubic foot of container interior volume shall be placed in a desiccant holder of each container at the time of shipment. When a First Article is required, the contractor shall submit a paper copy of the drawings (size 11" X 17"), contracts and approved ECPs, ECOs, deviations, waivers, and modifications in the records receptacle or inside the container submitted for the First Article. Contact code BUYER FOUND ON PAGE 1 OF CONTRACT or code N241.10 to arrange for First Article Test location. Welding and welder qualifications shall meet current AWS D1.2 standards. Additionally, cleaning preparations shall be in accordance with MIL-C-5541 and the cleaning paragraph located in the welding requirements section of the contract. Each container shall be assigned a serial number, starting with "0001," then "0002," etc. If a nameplate drawing exists that establishes an acronym convention, the serial numbers will replace the "XXXX." If an acronym has not been explicitly defined, it may be omitted from the serial number line. 4. QUALITY ASSURANCE Contact the contracting officer for the first article test facility location listed on page one block 5 of the contract. Production drop test to be performed on 100% of production. Drop test shall consist of an 18-inch free fall onto a concrete surface. The container shall be inspected before and after the drop test by a local QAR (with consultation with NAVSUP WSS). Excessive damage (e.g., more than 3 broken rivets) will be cause for rejection. The government reserves the right to perform fit and function tests if deemed warranted. 4.1 The tests to be performed under the First Article approval clause (FAR 52.209-4) of the contract are listed below: Dimensional test (special) to drawing (78286) SPD65E-1701-001 and subdrawings is applicable; Requirements of: to drawing (78286) SPD65E-1701-001 and subdrawings is applicable; Form: applies; Fit: applies; Function: applies; Compliance with drawing (78286), SPD65E-1701-001, latest revision, and referenced specifications. 4.2 In addition to the above tests, the First Article(s) shall also be subjected to tests demonstrating compliance with contract requirements. 4.3 The contractor shall provide necessary parts and repair of the First Article during testing. 4.4 The estimated cost of government testing is $10,000 for the first article testing, which will be added to the offeror's price. 4.5 Disposition of FAT samples: Zero: Samples shall not be returned to the contractor; they shall be destroyed during testing. All: Samples shall be returned to the contractor and may be considered as production items if they can be refurbished and have inspection approval, shipped after all other units are produced. N/A: Samples shall be returned but not considered as production. 4.6 Test Sample Coating Instructions: Samples are to be unpainted. Corrosive areas are to be coated with a light preservative. 4.7 FAT Approval Criteria: FAR 52.209-4 applies. The contractor shall deliver one (1) unit of the specified part number within 120 days to the designated test facility. Marking of test sample shipping containers shall cite the contract number and include specific instructions. Within 60 days, the test site shall complete testing and submit a report. Within 90 days, the government shall notify the contractor of approval or disapproval. If disapproved, the contractor shall submit additional First Articles at their expense. Failure to deliver on time or disapproval constitutes a default. Approved First Articles may be used as part of the contract quantity. The contractor shall notify the procuring officer of shipment of articles. Fourteen days prior to shipment, the contractor shall notify the test facility and arrange for inspection. 4.8 Alternate Offers - Waiver of First Article Approval Requirements: The Navy may waive requirements for offerors with previous accepted identical articles. Offerors requesting waiver must submit evidence and certification. Offerors must submit two prices: one with waiver, one without. If granted, the delivery schedule shall be reduced accordingly.
