15. DoD utilizes over 800 specifications to define Products used for corrosion prevention and control. • A Taxonomy was developed to group these specs into technology areas. • Search Specs and Stds allows any supplier to identify; applicable specs, potentially interested activities, and Cognizant Technical Authorities Search Specs & Standards Tool (Basic Search) Notes Page Contains Explanatory Information;

16. Technical Categories let suppliers narrow down applicable specs from over 800 corrosion related specifications and standards maintained in the database Spec Categories & Sub-Categories Notes Page Contains Explanatory Information;

17. Search By: • Preparing Activity • Type: • (Mil/Fed or NGS) • Sub-Type: • 1st ArticleQPLCIDOther • Status • User & Sub-User • Results can be: • Displayed in multiple ways (10, 25, or 50 per page or all). • Exported to an MS Excel file • Printed with Search Criteria Search Specs & Standards Tool (Advanced Search) Notes Page Contains Explanatory Information;

31. This Web Based Process in Itself Does Not Qualify Your Product Nor Does It Guarantee Procurement of Your Product by the Department of Defensewww.CorrDefense.org

32. Product Introduction Process • Phase I • Provide Information and Resources • Search Specs and Standards • Phase II • Products Covered by Existing Specifications • Phase III • Product introduction of new products or product applications not covered by existing specifications or standards.

33. Description of Product Introduction Process • Does the product meet the requirements of an existing specification? (YES or NO) • If YES, then what is the product introduction path applicable to the specification? • If NO, then what is the product introduction path? Phase III

34. SSQP PHASE III Flow Diagram DATA CAPTURE Phase I Search Specs and Standards Phase II Product Conforms to Existing Specifications Product Definition Product Screening Product Authorization Product Demonstration Product Characterization and Evaluation Notes Page Contains Explanatory Information;

35. Phase III Sub-processes • Product Definition (Step 1) • Supplier submits Product Information Form via web tool • Admin POC ensures PIF is complete and makes initial determination as to product/ technology category • Admin POC determines agency interest • Agency Interest: Establishes Technical team and or Lead POC • No Interest: Admin POC notifies Supplier • Tech Lead/Team review information • Is more info needed? (contact supplier) • Is Product covered by an existing spec? (direct supplier to pertinent spec) • Is there agency interest in proceeding? (proceed to product screening)

38. Qualification • Meets minimum specified requirements (QPL/ QPD) • Acceptable for where specification is approved for use in Tech Orders, Manuals, Drawing, Inc. • Does not insure/ promise procurement (i.e. must follow standard GSA, DLA procurement processes • Qualification does not automatically mean Product Authorization.

39. Authorization • Approves product’s use for a specific application. • Used for new products or different applications of existing products. • Path to authorization: • Lab Testing • Field Prototype • Verification/ Validation • Data Analysis and use • Authorization Letter, local process specification, Technical Order or manual, etc. issued.

DEPARTMENT OF THE GOVERNMENT • OFFICE OF STUFF • PAPERWORK HEADQUARTERS • ANYTOWN, USA 12345 • 4123 • Ser 4.9.x.x/YYY • dd/month/yyyy • From: High Muckity Muck, Government • To: Distribution • Subj: Government Implementation Plan for Stuff, Type III Conforming to MIL-STD-XXXX • Ref:(a) Government Implementation Plan for Your Product • (b) Engineering Laboratory Report, “Performance Evaluation of Stuff,” LR04_00Z • (c) Engineering Laboratory Report, “Field Testing and Validation of Stuff,” LR0Y_00X • (d) Additional Reference Materials • . Reference (a) authorized the use of Stuff qualified to Federal Standard FED-STD-YYYY, for government applications. Sample Authorization Letter Applicable Testing and Usage References Restrictions Governing Implementation and Use Notes Page Contains Explanatory Information;

41. Generic Authorization/Implementation Requirements • Implementation Path (generic example for Aerospace products) • Lab validation of product, process and performance • Field validation of product, process and performance • In a relevant operational environment • Implementation • Applicable Engineering AuthoritySign-off • Ex: Materials, Structures, Subsystems, Systems, Aeromechanics, Depot • Program: Engineering/Logistics/Original Equipment Manufacturer • Create or Revise specs and other documentation (Local drawings/Tech orders/MIL/AMS/ . . .) • Revise Relevant Control Manuals • Supply, NSN, Order Quantities, etc.

42. General Implementation Requirements (cont’d) • Non-Critical Application Test Criteria • Lab validation per Spec and/or other agency-specific screening tests • Field validation: In-service on planned implementation platforms in representative operational conditions, multiple dem/val sites- same or better performance compared to controls • Critical Application Test Criteria (Safety of Flight) • Lab Validation per Spec and/or other agency-specific screening tests • Lab Validation of critical application specific performance (Ex: Structural Fatigue, etc.) • Flight clearance depending on component/risk • Field Testing: Will be more stringent validation path than for non-critical applications: longer road, more expensive, more sensitive, more extensive

43. Summary • Qualification is Legally binding on both Government & Industry • Qualification may only be a first step • Generally, Qualification and Authorization are Two Different Processes • Authorization must be obtained on a specific basis if not previously granted • Implementation path can vary widely based on the criticality, the associated risk factors and the Service/Agency specific requirements
