MIL-STD-1OOG
a. Does not in any way relieve a contractor of contractual obligations to deliver products that comply with all drawing requirements.
b. Does not guarantee acceptability of products delivered under a contract.
c. Does not constitute a waiver of any requirement for inspection, for process control, or for maintenance of quality control procedures during production.
B40.7 Manufacturer's obligation. It is the responsibility of the manufacturer to maintain adequate process and quality control procedures during production. The manufacturer is required to report any discrepancies disclosed during periodic reexamination of its product and production process controls. The manufacturer must ensure that delivered items conform to the requirements for quality, reliability, and all other specified product characteristics and conform to the design indicated on the drawing.
B40.8 Government obligations. Government surveillance, initial or periodic, conducted by the design or procuring activity or their agent, does not relieve the manufacturer of the responsibility to exercise adequate process and product quality control procedures. The Government design or procuring activity will establish the single focal point as per B40.4 to consolidate findings and recommend corrective actions for problems associated with sources of supply on source control drawings.
B40.8.1 Approved sources of supply. A manufacturer whose product has been screened and tested in accordance with the applicable drawing will be considered qualified as a source of supply for the item whether or not inclusion thereon has been accomplished. Accordingly, it shall be the responsibility of the design activity to maintain a current record of sources of supply that have not been included (for example drawing revision through Engineering Change Proposal) on the actual drawings. Award of contract will include consideration of all approved sources of supply
including those that have not yet been listed on the drawing.
B40.9 Effecting changes to drawings. The addition of manufacturing sources of supply to a drawing or changes required to such listing, for example manufacturer's name, address or product designation, requires that the drawing be revised in accordance with ASME Y14.35M.
B40.10 Advertising. A manufacturer may advertise source of supply status. However it must not be stated or implied in advertising that a product is the only type so qualified or that the DoD in any way recommends or endorses the product or source of supply status. Violation of this provision is cause for deletion from the drawing.
B40.11 Qualification authority. The authority for developing and approving sources of supply for listing on control drawings rests solely with the design or procuring activity. No using activity may use manufacturing sources other than that listed on the drawing without the concurrence of the design or procuring activity.
B40.12 Qualification and award of contracts. With respect to manufacturers requiring qualification, award of contract will be made only for manufacturing sources which are, prior to the award of contract, approved for inclusion on the applicable drawing whether or not such sources have actually been listed by that date. The attention of potential suppliers is called to this requirement, and manufacturers are urged to arrange qualification per this Appendix for those
