B40. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS.
B40.1 Purpose. It is the objective of this Appendix to provide detailed instructions concerning: the process of approving manufacturing sources of supply for inclusion on source control drawings and provisions for retention of approved source of supply status. It is further intended that the detail contained herein serves to standardize a product qualification process that is independent of end item application and procurement needs.
B40.2 Intent. The requirements contained herein apply qualification provisions to source control drawings. It is the intent of qualification to provide the Government products of requisite quality, reliability or safety through testing prior to and independent of award of contract. Such pretesting is in recognition of a complexity of performance requirements and sensitivity of design or end
item application that render it impractical to rely on first article and acceptance testing. Qualification is intended for use in support of multiple acquisition and repetitive procurement by the Government and associated contractors.
B40.3 Government source control drawings. The provisions stated in this Appendix apply to the Government's use and management of source control drawings that:
a. Are developed by or for the Government.
b. Are identified with a Government CAGE Code and document number, or c. The Government owns the drawing original.
B40.4 Qualification focal point. The application of qualification procedure, process and instruction in an equitable manner, independent of program management or product necessitates candidate manufacturer access to a focal point within the design activity. The focal point must be responsive to industry request for qualification with specific procedural instruction, capable of directing candidate suppliers to appropriate Government approved or operated laboratories for testing, knowledgeable in the invoking of qualification provisions as contained in this Appendix and conveniently accessible and communicative to manufacturers, contractors, program managers and user industries or Government activities.
B40.5 Multiple sources of supply. Prior to concurring with or the establishing of a source control drawing, the design activity must insure the availability of two or more manufacturing sources. Single source-control drawings require specific approval from the Government design activity.
B40.5.1 Existing drawings. Existing single-source, source control drawings shall be periodically (every two years unless otherwise specified by the design activity) reviewed for possible conversion to other than source control if still required in support of procurement. If still required as source control drawings, additional sources of supply shall be developed in
accordance with the provisions of B50.2.
B40.6 Significance of listing. The listing of a manufacturer as a source of supply on a source control drawing signifies only that, at the time of examination or test, the manufacturer could make a product that met the drawing requirements. Inclusion of a source of supply on a drawing:
