MIL-V-85033A(AS)

3.2 Selection and quality verification of parts and materials. Quality

verified parts (see 3.2.1] and materials from approved sources (see 3.2.2)

shall be used in the fabrication of the end item. The contractor shall prepare

reports of conformance to applicable requirements.

3.2.1 Approval of parts and materials. Parts and materials proposed for

use in the fabrication of the end item that are not specified in detail herein

or in applicable referenced documents shall be selected from other documents

in the order of precedence specified in MIL-STD-143 and shall be approved by

the procuring activity prior to use. Approval shall be predicated upon source

(vendor) approval and verification of part quality by test.

3.2.2 Source approval. The contractor shall be responsible for ascertain-

ing that each proposed source for parts and materials maintains a quality

control program to ensure consistent delivery of products conforming to appli-

cable requirements. When parts or materials are fabricated by the contractor,

the area used for that purpose shall be considered the same as an outside

vendor insofar as source approval is concerned. Source approvals by the

contractor shall be subject to concurrence by the procuring activity. Source

approval will be granted by the procuring activity upon preparation of accept-

able evidence of any of the following:

a. Formal on-site survey of the vendor's manufacturing facilities.

The source has been previously approved, and evidence is avail-

able to confirm that acceptable product quality has been main-

tained.

Other evidence of acceptable product quality is available.

3.2.3 verification of part quality. Quality verification shall be demon-

strated by successful testing of the part to levels of environmental, elec-

trical, and physical stresses equal to or greater than those which will be

encountered in the system and as required by the part specification. Part

quality may be demonstrated by any of the following:

a. When the part is manufactured and qualified to a military

specification which includes requirements equal to or more

severe than those of the end item application.
