tracts which require additional facilities. Before approving a procurement subcontract, the administrative contracting officer will require the prime contractor to submit to the administrative contracting officer a signed subcontractor Facility Expansion Capability Report indicating the following: Whether the selected subcontractor will require additional facilities and if so the estimated cost by Appendix A, Industrial Facilities; any financial assistance which will be required by the subcontractors; evidence showing the extent of the investigation of other potential sources made by the prime contractor including name of each source investigated, amount of Government-furnished facilities required by each, unit price of product, peak capacity, etc.; a description of the product including tolerances and material specifications detailed enough so that other potential subcontractors will be able to determine their capacity to produce it; and delivery schedules. The administrative contracting officer will furnish copies of the above report to the appropriate office of the AF plant representative or air procurement district and AMA (production branch or industrial planning branch, as appropriate). The AF plant representative and air procurement district will screen the region for the purpose of locating additional sources that would require less facilities and send such information to the administrative contracting officer. AMA headquarters will screen the other air procurement districts for potential sources and will request lists of other potential sources located outside its own area from MCPBI. These sources will be furnished to the administrative contracting officer through the AMA. The administrative contracting officer will forward the information to the prime contractor and advise him to screen the additional sources and to indicate to the administrative contracting officer such sources as he considers suitable for the performance of the subcontract.

(k) Minor subcontractors and suppliers. Other subcontractors and suppliers not known at the time of negotiation of the prime procurement contract will submit applications (preliminary and formal) and Appendices A (11 copies) for Government-provided facilities required by them through the prime contractor or air procurement district in whose area they are located, as applicable. Five copies of the contractor's

application will be forwarded imm ately to MCPBI. While under rev if the procedure in paragraph (j) of section has not been complied with, air procurement district will req from the air materiel area a list of a able sources who have capacity for proposed production. The air mat area will in turn request a similiar as to sources outside the area i MCPBI. These additional sources be screened to determine if any can form the proposed production with Government-furnished facilities t

After selec of the source and verification of the 1 duction items and dates, including indorsement of the prime contrac as applicable, the facilities expan project is forwarded through the air: teriel area in which the subcontra is located with comments and rec mendations to MCPBI who meanw has been and thereafter will process facilities expansion according to pa graph (d) of this section.

1) Compliance with Davis-Bacon Act. ere applicable under construction jects, MCPBI will initiate request for letermination of wage rates to the retary of Labor. The administrative tracting officer will take necessary on to obtain a predetermination if sequent review indicates that such on has not been previously taken or en a change in the project requires h action. The administrative coneting officer is authorized to forward uests for predetermination under subact directly to Hq USAF with a copy warded to the Commander, AMC, n: MCPBI, and upon receipt of a ly to furnish a copy to MCPBI so t the facilities contract can be ended accordingly.

The preliminary facilities application is used to establish the early identification of additional facilities requirements for planning and budgeting purposes and for initiating facility expansions in directed programs. The preliminary application is prepared by contractors or AF sponsoring activities for each project requiring additional facilities by individual location and by fiscal year requirements. It will enable contractors who are producing or plan to produce military items for the Air Force to furnish AMC with their projected facilities plans. Also, the preliminary application is a means whereby the AF sponsoring activities may submit future facilities requirements, covering end item programs which are directed to become production items or work, and as such may be supported by industrial facilities funds. The preliminary application may lack the complete descriptions of facilities, however, the over-all plans for accomplishing the end item of work should provide reasonable cost estimates. For end item projects which are sufficiently advanced to enable the contractors to furnish complete details and justifications, the formal application (§§ 1013.2403-2 and 1013.2404) and submission procedures (§ 1013.2402) should be followed. The preliminary facilities application consists of answers to paragraphs (a) through (j) (of § 1013.2403-2) as applicable to the proposed facilities expansion. This information should be prepared in letter format and submitted at the earliest practical date but no later than February 1 for consideration in the following Fiscal Year facilities expansion program. Formal application should follow as soon as practicable.

(a) Data processing equipment requirements. Electronic data processing equipment may be required for use by contractors performing services or developing systems for the Air Force. Such equipment may be acquired by the contractor under the terms of the contract or may be furnished by the Air Force. Regardless of the source of acquisition, the AF procuring contracting officer will contact Hq USAF (AFADA-E) directly by letter to ascertain if equipment is available. The letter should include the equipment capability required, the type of equipment desired, and alternate

types of equipment which will fulfill the requirement.
