12 52.209-1 QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS FEB/1995
(a) Definition: Qualification requirement, as used in this clause, means a
Government requirement for testing or other quality assurance demonstration
that must be completed before award.
(b) One or more qualification requirements apply to the supplies or services


                                       5
<PAGE>

covered by this contract. For those supplies or services requiring
qualification, whether the covered product or service is an end item under this
contract or simply a component of an end item, the product, manufacturer, or
source must have demonstrated that it meets the standards prescribed for
qualification before award of this contract. The product, manufacturer, or
source must be qualified at the time of award whether or not the name of the
product, manufacturer, or source is actually included on a qualified products
list, qualified manufacturers list, or qualified bidders list. Offerors should
contact the agency activity designated below to obtain all requirements that
they or their products or services, or their subcontractors or their products or
services, must satisfy to become qualified and to arrange for an opportunity to
demonstrate their abilities to meet the standards specified for qualification.
SEE SUPPORTING ACTIVITY(IES) LISTED IN THE SPECIFICATION(S)
(c) If an offeror, manufacturer, source, product or service covered by a
qualification requirement has already met the standards specified, the relevant
information noted below should be provided.
Offeror's Name __________________________________________________________
Manufacturer's Name _____________________________________________________
Source's Name __________________________________________________________
Item Name __________________________________________________________
Service __________________________________________________________
Identification Test Number (to the extent known) ____________________________
(d) Even though a product or service subject to a qualification requirement is
not itself an end item under this contract, the product, manufacturer, or source
must nevertheless be qualified at the time of award of this contract. This is
necessary whether the Contractor a subcontractor will ultimately provide the
product or service in question. If, after award, the Contracting Officer
discovers that an applicable qualification requirement was not in fact met at
the time of award, the Contracting Officer may either terminate this contract
for default or allow performance to continue if adequate consideration is
offered and the action is determined to be otherwise in the Government's best
interests.
(e) If an offeror, manufacturer, source product or service has met the
qualification requirement but is not yet on a qualified products list, qualified
manufacturers list, or qualified bidders list, the offeror must submit evidence
of qualification prior to award of this contract. Unless determined to be in the
Government's interest, award of this contract shall not be delayed to permit an
offeror to submit evidence of qualification.
(f) Any change in location or ownership of the plant where a previously
qualified product or service was manufactured or performed requires reevaluation
of the qualification. Similarly, any change in location or ownership of a
previously qualified manufacturer or source requires reevaluation of the
qualification. The reevaluation must be accomplished before the date of award.

30 52.211-4030 SPECIAL TESTING REQUIREMENTS FOR CHEMICAL AGENT RESISTANT
COATINGS MAR/2001 (TACOM) (CARC) ON METALLIC SURFACES
(a) Application: MIL-C-46168 MIL-C-53039 MIL-PRF-22750
(b) End-Item Paint Inspection: After the complete paint finish has been
applied and cured* (See *Note, below), the Contractor shall test and inspect
two units per lot for (i) workmanship, (ii) total paint film thickness, and
(iii) paint adhesion. Unless otherwise agreed to between the Contractor and
the cognizant Government quality assurance representative, a lot shall be
defined as all units submitted for final Government acceptance at one time.
The use of test panels in lieu of actual production units is prohibited. At
final inspection, the cumulative total paint film thickness of pretreatment,
primer, and topcoat shall at a minimum conform to the sum of the minimum
thicknesses for individual elements of the paint finish as specified in the
Film Thickness Table below. Sufficient locations shall be spot-checked to
ensure proper workmanship and paint thickness uniformity. The size and
configuration of the unit as well as the number of vendors responsible for
the paint finish of component parts shall be taken into consideration in
determining the number of locations to be checked. The specific number of
test locations shall be agreed to by the cognizant Government quality assurance
representative in advance. In addition, two locations on each sample unit shall
be selected to conduct the scribe tape test. The test locations shall be


                                       18
<PAGE>


routinely varied among the following:
(1) Directly adjacent to a weld
(2) On or directly adjacent to a machine cut or sheared edge.
(3) On any mechanically formed surface when lubricants/drawing compounds
were used.
(4) On paint touch-up areas.
(c) The precise location for each scribe tape test shall be in an inconspicuous
location that has been accepted by the cognizant Government quality assurance
representative before the test is conducted.
(d) Upon completion of the scribe tape test, the scribe marks shall be feathered
into the adjacent area and touched up with the required top coat so that the
tested area again conforms to the applicable minimum specified in the Film
Thickness Table below. *Note: The complete paint finish is defined as the
pretreatment, primer, and topcoat applied to the substrate. Curing of the
complete paint finish is dependent upon temperature, humidity, and paint film
thickness. The time necessary to achieve sufficient adhesion to pass the scribe
tape test must be determined by each facility. For purposes of this test,
curing at ambient temperature will take from 24 days.
(e) Test Methods:
(1) Film Thickness. Film thickness shall be verified with a nondestructive
film gage. The gage shall be suitable for measurements over the applicable
substrate material and shall have sufficient accuracy to ensure compliance to
the thickness limitations. The gage shall be capable of being calibrated. If
no other calibration specification or requirement is identified elsewhere in
this contract, then the gage shall be calibrated in accordance with ISO 10012.
(2) Scribe Tape Test. The following test procedure shall be followed. The test
surface shall be sufficiently warm and dry to ensure adhesion of the tape.
All dimensions cited in this Scribe Tape Test description are approximate:
(i) Scribe four one-inch lines completely through the paint finish to the
substrate, one sixteenth to three thirty-seconds of an inch apart.
(ii) Scribe four additional one-inch lines, completely through the paint
finish, one sixteenth to three thirty-seconds of an inch apart, rotated 90
degrees with respect to the first set of lines. The resulting pattern shall
contain nine squares.
(iii) Press a length of A-A-1830, A-A-884, or any commercially available tape
with a minimum adhesion rating of 45 oz. per inch of width firmly over the
scribed pattern, rubbing out all air pockets.
(iv) Wait 10 seconds, minimum. Grasp a free end of the tape and at a rapid
speed strip it from the paint surface by pulling the tape back upon itself at
180 degrees.
(f) Interpretation of Test Results
NOTE: These two tests are not a substitute for corrosion tests such as neutral
salt spray or accelerated corrosion tests which verify coating durability.
(1) Film Thickness. All applicable surfaces shall have complete paint coverage.
A minimum of 75% of the applicable surfaces of each test unit shall meet the
minimum, cumulative dry film thickness requirements. Failure of either test
unit shall result in rejection of the production lot that it represents.

(2) Scribe Tape Test (Adhesion). The removal of two or more complete squares
of top coat, or top coat-primer-pretreatment coating, from either test unit
constitutes test failure and the production lot from which it comes is rejected.
Removal of overspray does not constitute test failure.  Notice: The scribe tape
test is designed to detect any deficiency in the paint application process that
would affect the durability of the CARC finish. Typical causes of failure are:
(i) Inadequate cleaning of the substrate.
(ii) Contamination of the surface between coatings.
(iii) Excessive paint film thickness in a single coating application.
(iv) Application of a coating over a previous coating which has not been
adequately cured.
It is strongly recommended that the Contractor implement rigid in-process
controls in conjunction with the best industrial painting practices to ensure
that the performance requirements specified in this clause are met.

AWS A3.0 shall be used to define all other welding terms not defined herein.
(2) The limits established below represent the maximum discontinuities
allowable for visual inspection of workmanship specimens and production steel
weldments. (Note:Workmanship specimens which require cross-sectioning must
also be evaluated for subsurface quality; these criteria are not contained
herein.) Any discontinuity exceeding this limit is classified as defective
and must be reworked or repaired dependent upon the nature and extent of the
discontinuity. Weldments requiring subsurface weld inspection should be
evaluated in accordance with the acceptance standard specified on the drawing
in addition to these requirements.
(c) Discontinuities:
(1) Cracks - A weld crack is defined as a linear rupture resulting from
excessive localized stress. Cracks can occur in the weld metal, fusion zone or
heat affected zone. No cracks are allowed
(2) Porosity - Porosity is defined as a rounded cavity free of solid material
resulting from gas entrapment during solidification.
(i) Maximum pore size shall be 1/16 inch.
(ii) There shall be no more than six pores for any twelve inch length of weld.
For small weldments with continuous welds less than twelve inches in length,
they shall have proportionately fewer pores allowed (example: three pores
maximum for six inch length of weld).
(3) Overlap - Overlap is defined as a protrusion of weld metal beyond the bond
at the toe of the weld.
(i) A radiused tie-in must exist with the parent metal.
(ii) The overlap condition must not exceed 10% of the total weld length.
(4) Slag Inclusion - Slag inclusion is defined as a non-metallic solid material
entrapped in or on the weld metal or between the weld metal and base metal. This
discontinuity is applicable to SMA and FCAW processes. No slag inclusions are
allowed.
(5) Undercut - Undercut is defined as a groove melted into the base material
adjacent to the toe of the weld and left unfilled by weld metal.

(A) The maximum depth of undercut shall be 1/32 inch.
(B) The undercut must have a width not less than twice the depth.
(C) The length of undercut shall not exceed two inches cumulative in any
continuous 24 inch length of weld. For continuous welds less than 24 inches in
length, the maximum cumulative length shall be in direct proportion to this
limit or one inch, whichever is greater. (For example: for an eight inch
continuous length of weld, maximum cumulative allowable undercut length is one
inch).
(d) Weld Size:
(1) Fillet Welds:
(i) Fillet welds shall be measured using fillet weld gages.
(ii) For welds one-fourth inch and less, the weld size is the minimum as
specified on the drawing symbol.
(iii) For fillet welds larger than one-fourth inch, the weld may be undersize by
1/16 inch for a maximum length of 10% of the continuous weld length.
(2) Groove Welds: No under-fill is allowed. [End of Clause]
