  1. QUALITY LEADERSHIP FORUMCONTRACT QUALITY CLAUSESWORKING GROUP Ken Crane MSFC March 6, 2002

  2. WHAT: A group of NASA and Aerospace Partners whose purpose is to create a “recommended” comprehensive list of common contract quality clauses, guidance for application, and definitions to be used for acquisitions. WHY: Commonality in the phrasing of clauses should….. Minimize supplier confusion in interpreting requirements Partners with different clauses and varying degrees of complexity Clarify Expectations Ensure Consistency Simplify Procurement Process Lower Cost

  3. First working group meeting was held December 4 - 5, 2001, at MSFC. Participants included: PARTICIPATION NASA HQ MSFC JSC JPL NASA Procurement Boeing Hernandez Engineering Lockheed Martin SAIC USA There have been two subsequent meetings including a face to face February 19-21 at NASA HQ.

  4. Certificate of Compliance (C of C) • “Organization shall provide a certification with each shipment to attest that the parts, assemblies, subassemblies, or detail parts conform to the Order requirements. When applicable, the true manufacturer’s, lot, heat, batch, date code, and/or serial number must appear on the certification. Certification must contain the following: • · Customer’s Order number • · Line number • · Part number • · Name and address of manufacturing or processing location • · Manufacturer’s lot, heat, batch, date code, and/or serial number (if applicable) • · Quantity and unit of measurement (each, box, case, gallons, etc.) • · Be signed and dated by an official of the company. • The applicable material test results, process certifications and inspection records shall be presented upon Customer’s request. Organization shall perform inspection, as necessary, to determine the acceptability of all articles under this Order. All articles submitted by Organization under this Order are subject to final inspection at Customer’s plant.” E X A M P L E

  5. Guidance: • When reviewing a C of C, the organization or supplier’s format should be considered acceptable as long as it contains the information noted in the clause. • When acceptance is being made by the government, additional provisions of certification of conformance may apply. Reference FAR section 52.246-15 • http://nais.nasa.gov/glimpseHTTP/cgi-bin/mfs/28/nais/htdocs/FAR9727.NFS9767/52_246.html?line417 - mfs E X A M P L E

  6. This working group is a worthwhile effort that should result in higher quality products at lower cost to the government and industry through a simplification of the procurement quality process. The next step is to provide these draft inputs to the Americas Aerospace Quality Group (AAQS) for further input and review, eventually leading to their release as recommended aerospace clauses/guidance.
