BS0.8.2 Charges for small business concerns. If the number of sources listed on a given drawing, available to compete actively for an anticipated future requirement, is fewer than two actual manufacturers, the cost of the initial qualification testing for a small business concern(s) may be paid for by the design activity. This provision is applicable if the small business concern successfully passes the qualification requirements and tests specified in the applicable drawing. Also, this provision is applicable if it is determined that such additional sources for products are likely to result in cost savings from increased competition for future requirements that exceed the costs associated with qualification testing. The costs associated with producing the items and establishing production control systems are not reimbursable. A projected ten percent reduction of procurement expenditures for the item in question over the next three years is the accepted guideline utilized for determining cost savings when supply sources are increased from one to two.
BS0.8.3 Charges for retesting. The applicant will be required to pay the entire cost, or a large share of the cost, of retesting his product after initial failure, providing that each applicant is so advised in the initial authorization to submit samples. The charges for retest will be uniform for all applicants.
BS0.9 Availability of data. Only that data derived at Government expense will be considered for distribution. After determination that such action is in the best interest of the Government, and in keeping with current security policy and regulations, the design activity may, at its discretion and acting upon specific request:
a. Supply the data to other activities of the Government.
b. Supply the data to foreign Governments which are purchasing, operating, or maintaining supplies that involve products covered by the drawing. Such release will be made with the condition that the information shall be used only in connection with furnishing supplies and services to that Government.
BS0.10 Data derived at industry expense. Data derived in support of qualification, at private industry expense shall not be distributed without written authority from the source of supply involved. The design activity after receiving permission to release such data, will do so using B50.9 as guidance.
BS0.11 Deletion of a source of supply. An approved source of supply is subject to deletion from a drawing by the design activity under any one of the following circumstances:
a. The product offered under contract does not meet the requirements of the drawing.
b. The manufacturer has discontinued manufacture of the product, or has changed design, materials, or processes to such an extent that the product no longer meets the requirements of the drawing.
c. The manufacturer requests that the product be removed from the drawing.
d. One or more of the conditions under which qualification was granted have been violated. e. The requirements of a revised drawing differ sufficiently from the previous issue so that
existing test data are no longer applicable for determining compliance of the product with the
