SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO
SCHEDULES I AND II

Estimated Architect-Engineer Services Costs are to be established for each construction or rehabilitation project but excluded from Schedule II subtotals for other items of Schedule II. Total estimated cost of Architect-Engineer Services should be entered under Schedule II (f).

If there are costs for utilities, railroad extensions, etc., but not on property owned or controlled by the Government and leased to the contractor, such costs must be included in II(e).

Every effort should be made to pursuade utility companies, railroad companies, or other owners of the realty, to absorb all or part of the costs of such items. If no portion of the cost of such items will be paid by the

utility, railroad company, or land owner, a statement to that effect, signed by an official of such company, must be included. Where the Government is requested to pay for all or part of such off site installation costs, a definite statement from the applicant justifying the necessity for such costs must be included. Cross reference from descriptions to Exhibits must be made in order that details may be made clear. In the event Government expenditure is authorized for any off site land installation, an agreement protecting the interest of the Government must be negotiated.

Sufficient information shall be provided so as to permit a reviewer to not only analyze and evaluate the requirements for each item but also to analyze and evaluate all items as a total requirement.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO

(b) Location. Location of proposed facilities expansion; indicate whether site is privately owned or Government-owned; if Government-owned, list the Government agency that has jurisdiction. Describe briefly the availability of laber, power, fuel, water sewage disposal, housing, transportation, etc.

(c) Purpose of Expansion. Identify item or system to be developed, tested and/or produced.

(d) Basis of Need. Reference approved NASA program from which need for facilities directly arises. Also cite the relationship of this project to other elements of the approved program.

(e) Subcontracting. Percentage of subcontracting planned by dollar amount and/or percent of total effort. Justify level of planned subcontracting. To the degree possible, identify subcontractors and the items to be subcontracted. Justify reasons for not subcontracting additional work. If facilities are anticipated for subcontractors, SO identify.

(f) Financial Progress. Provide a 5-year summary of the contractor's financial progas follows (by company division, if appropriate):

ress

(h) Financing. The contractor will justify his reasons for not financing the proposed expansion with corporate or company funds.

(1) Other Uses. State the portion or percentage of the expanded capacity that will be used by other NASA Procurement Offices, or other Federal agencies. Identify the specific items and the NASA Procurement Offices or Federal agencies.

(j) Complete Facility. If the proposed expansion does not constitute a complete facility, cite the elements that are not in- cluded and how they will be provided.

§ 18-14.000 Scope of part.

This Part 18-14 covers instructions concerning quality assurance, inspection and acceptance of supplies or services under NASA contracts (other than construction contracts).

Subpart 18-14.1-Quality Assurance and Inspection

§ 18-14.100 Definitions.

(a) “Inspection” means the examination (including testing) of supplies and services (including, when appropriate, raw materials, components, and intermediate assemblies) to determine whether the supplies and services conform to contract requirements, including all applicable drawings, specifications, and purchase descriptions.

(b) "Testing" is an element of inspection and generally denotes the determination by technical means of the physical and chemical properties or elements of materials, supplies, or components thereof, involving not so much the element of personal judgment as the application of established scientific principles and procedures.

(a) Except as permitted by § 18-14.204, inspection on behalf of the Government shall be conducted in all cases prior to acceptance. Inspection shall be accomplished by or under the supervision of Government personnel. Except as otherwise provided in the contract, test requirements may be performed in the contractor's or subcontractor's laboratory or any other commercial laboratory acceptable to the Government. The contractor may be required under the terms of the contract to establish and maintain an acceptable inspection or quality control system to insure compliance with contract specifications with a minimum of Government inspection supervision. A manufacturer's certificate or other statement of quality or quantity may be considered in determining whether supplies or services are in conformity with the contract; but no provision of the contract shall preclude the Government from performing inspection.

(b) The type and extent of inspection needed depend on the particular procurement. For example, on items which would involve small losses in the event of defects and which would probably be

replaced by suppliers without contest, inspection may consist only of checks for identity, quantity, and shipping damage. Detailed requirements for space systems and elements thereof are contained in "Quality Assurance Provisions for Government Agencies," NPC 200-1A and subpart 18-14.50.

§ 18-14.102 Activities responsible for inspection.

Inspection, or the arrangement therefor, is the responsibility of the installation effecting or administering the procurement. When a NASA installation uses the inspection services of another executive agency, the agency performing the inspection has primary inspection responsibility and its determinations relative thereto are binding on the NASA installation for which the services are performed. However, whenever NPC 200-1A applies, the NASA installation retains primary inspection responsibility. § 18-14.103 Service agreements.

(a) In the interest of achieving economy and efficiency in the inspection of contract items, procurement offices shall utilize the services of other executive agencies to insure the most economical and effective inspection consistent with the best interests of the Government. The purpose of inspection interchange agreements is to eliminate duplication, overlapping, or multiple assignments of Government inspection activity in any one plant.

(b) Agreements have been entered into by NASA with other Government agencies relating to performance of field service functions, including quality assurance, inspection, test, and acceptance, in support of NASA contractors. (See the 1050 series of NASA Management Issuances.) The procedures set forth in these agreements shall be observed by all NASA procurement offices in arranging for field services. Inspection agreements may also be used between NASA field installations in order to achieve maximum economy and efficiency.

§ 18-14.104 Contractor responsibility.

The inspection clauses included in NASA contracts require the contractor to maintain an inspection system acceptable to the Government and records of all inspection work performed by the contractor. See also Subpart 18-1.50. The contractor's inspection system should be such as to provide reasonable assurance

Each contract shall designate the place or places of inspection. Inspection of supplies and services shall be made at such times and places (including any stage during the period of manufacture, and including subcontractors' plants) as are necessary to determine that the supplies and services conform to contract requirements. When the contract provides for inspection at source, shipment prior to inspection may be authorized if it is determined to be in the best interest of the Government. In such cases. to the extent appropriate, the contract should be modified prior to shipment with respect to (a) risk of loss in transit and (b) shipping and other expenses incurred in the event of rejection at destination.

Supplies and services shall be inspected at source when:

(a) Inspection at any other point would require uneconomical disassembly or destructive testing;

(b) Considerable loss would result from the manufacture and shipment of unacceptable supplies or from the delay in making necessary corrections;

(c) Special instruments, gauges, or facilities required for inspection are available only at source;

(d) Inspection at any other point would destroy or require the replacement of costly special packing and packaging; (e) Quality control and inspection are closely related to production methods;

(f) Supplies requiring technical inspection are destined for points of embarkation for overseas shipment; or

(g) Otherwise determined to be in the best interest of the Government.

§ 18-14.105-3 Inspection at destination. Supplies and services shall be inspected at destination when:
