For all previous sources, a post-award conference may be recommended. 1.2 Container shell material is Aluminum. Manufacturing this item requires two individual pieces to be made. One being the outer shell or the container that houses the T-56 QECA. The second being the Inner Frame Adapter Assembly (IFAA). They are a set item under this TDP. 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 Container Research Corporation drawing number (05259) 706E001, 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.

REQUIREMENTS One third (1/3) unit of desiccant (MIL-D-3464, Type II nondusting) per cubic foot of container interior volume shall be placed in desiccant holder of each container at time of shipment. 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. 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." The shock mount listed in the drawing package (whether identified as sole source, recommended, or suggested) has been tested and approved for the shock mitigation system of this container. No other shock mount may be substituted without written permission of Naval Inventory Control Point, Philadelphia unless an alternate is specifically identified in this contract. No Other is an approved alternate mount. Acceptance Criteria for Aluminum fabrication: All welds shall be visually inspected. Visual inspection shall include 5 power magnifications when suspect condition is to be examined beyond the capability of normal vision. A weld shall be acceptable if it shows: No cracks Through fusion exists between adjacent layers of weld metal, and between weld metal and base metal Weld profiles conform with AWS D1.2 D1.2M:2003 Porosity is not permitted Critical and major welds on the IFAA shall be subjected to further non-destructive testing using dye penetrant inspection to determine the presence of surface cracks. Welding and welder qualifications shall meet current AWS D1.2 Standards. Additionally, cleaning preparations shall be in accordance with MIL-C-5541 and the welding requirement section of the contract. All containers must be affixed with a nameplate that includes a Unique Identification (UID) marking as referenced in the drawing (80132) 15930 and IAW Mil-STD-130 latest revision. The contractor shall contact NAVICP code Contact Buyer found on Page 1 of the Contract or code 0771.10 for the serial number group that makes up part of the UID. The UID will be included on the nameplate in data matrix format. 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. Welding and inspection shall include visual inspection with 5X magnification, non-destructive testing as prescribed, and proper documentation. Work instructions shall be posted at the operator's work station giving procedures to control the welding process, including filler material, weld size, electrical and gas characteristics, including flow rate. Materials and materials control: The quality program shall ensure that materials used in fabrication or processing conform to applicable requirements, with supplier’s certification being sufficient. Controls: Weld filler materials shall be clearly identified and segregated. The work environment shall be controlled to prevent adverse conditions. Cleaning: Parts to be welded shall be cleaned to remove surface soils, avoiding uninhibited alkaline solutions. Deoxidizing: Cleaned parts shall be chemically deoxidized no more than 10 days prior to welding, or 3 days if exposed outdoors. Mechanical cleaning methods shall be applied just prior to welding to remove oxides. Chemical Treatment: Use nitric acid, sulfuric chromic, phosphoric chromic, or equivalent solutions for deoxidizing. Sodium hydroxide solutions shall not be used. Coverage must extend at least 2 inches from the weld site. Mechanical Means: Mechanical cleaning shall be applied immediately prior to welding, using methods like wire brushing, scraping, filing, or sanding, avoiding iron, steel wool, copper alloys that may cause galvanic corrosion.
