They must certify they have the necessary facilities, equipment, and capabilities for repair, inspection, testing, packaging, and storage, and make them available for government evaluation. Data package verification is required, including a list of all procedures, drawings, and specifications. Repair process verification must demonstrate compliance with government requirements and unique identification (UID) requirements. Offerors must provide, at their own expense, data showing the results of quality, performance, and environmental evaluations. A qualification test plan procedure must be submitted for prior approval, followed by a complete test report. The government may inspect testing processes, including on-site witnessing, with at least 30 days' advance notice. Offerors must also provide a pre-contract award qualification article for evaluation, which will undergo form, fit, and function evaluation.
