SCOPE When discrepancies exist between these requirements and those on current Manufacturer's drawings, contact the contracting officer listed on page 1 block 5 of the contract. 1.1 PRE-AWARD / POST AWARD REQUIREMENTS: Due to the critical use of this item and its quality history, a pre-award survey and post-award conference may be required for all new manufacturers. For all previous sources, a post-award conference may be recommended. 1.2 Container shell material is ;aluminum; . 1.3 When discrepancies exist between these requirements and those on current manufacturer's drawings,contact code ;Buyer on Page One; or code N241.10 1.4 Articles to be furnished hereunder shall be manufactured, tested and inspected in accordance with ;Sikorsky; drawing number ( ;78286; ) ;SPD65E-1701-001; , Revision ;Latest; and all details and specifications referenced therein. 1.5 Unless expressly provided for elsewhere in this clause, equipment such as fixtures, jigs, dies, patterns, mylars, special tooling, test equipment, or any other manufacturing aid required for the manufacture and/or testing of the subject item(s) will not be provided by the Government or any other source and is the sole responsibility of the contractor. The foregoing applies notwithstanding any reference to such equipment or the furnishing thereof that may be contained in any drawing or referenced specification. 1.6 If MIL-STD-454 is referenced in the drawings or in the specification, the contractor is expected to show compliance with IPC/EIAJ-STD-001C. 2. APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS DOCUMENT REF DATA=MIL-I-45208 | | |A |810724|A| 1| | 3. REQUIREMENTS Contact the contracting officer listed on page one block 5 of the contract for the "Property of XXXX" on the name plate. 3.1 Reference to Cadmium plating shall be deleted and the following substituted: "Finish shall be electrodeposited alkaline Zinc-Nickel Alloy in accordance with ASTM B 841 Class 1, Type B, Grade 3." 3.2 At faying surfaces, discontinuous welds, or other areas where atmospheric liquids may be retained by capillary action, the crevice shall be sealed using Sealing Compound MIL-S-81733 or equivalent. All containers must be affixed with a nameplate that includes a Unique Identification (UID) marking as referenced in the drawing package Drawing ;(80132) 15930; and IAW Mil-STD-130 latest revision. The contractor shall contact NAVICP code ;N241.17; or code 0771.10 for the alphanumeric sequential serial number group that makes up part of the UID. The UIDwill be included on the nameplate in data matrix format. 3.3 Welding and welder qualifications shall be in accordance with AWS D1.1 for steel, AWS D1.2 or MIL-W-22248,Class 4 for aluminum, AWS D1.3 for sheet steel and AWS D1.6 for stainless steel. Proper controls shall be used to prevent melt through or burn through. For aluminum, filler for welding 6061 alloy shall be 4043: filler for welding 5000 series alloys to themselves or to 6061 shall be 5356 or 5556. In addition,welding and weld inspection shall include: (1) Visual inspection shall include 5X (5power) magnification when a suspect condition is to be examined beyond the capability of normal vision. (2) Critical and major welds may be subjected to further non destructive testing (such as dye penetrant inspection)as prescribed by the buying activity. (3) Proper documentation shall be available for review by Government personnel. 3.4 WORK INSTRUCTIONS. Work instructions shall be posted at theoperator's work station giving procedures to control the welding process, i.e., filler material, weld size, electrical and gas characteristics, including flow rate. 3.5 MATERIALS AND MATERIALS CONTROL. The quality program shall assure that the materials used in fabrication or processing, i.e., base metals and weld filler material, be inspected and conform to the applicable physical, chemical and other technical requirements (supplier's certification is sufficient). 3.6 CONTROLS. Weld filler materials shall be clearly identified and segregated from each other both when in storage and at the work station. Work station environment shall be controlled to prevent conditions adverse to proper gas shielding. 3.7 CLEANING. Parts to be welded shall be cleaned to remove surface soils such as oils, waxes, grease, inks, etc. except that uninhibited alkaline solutions such as sodium hydroxide shall NOT be used. 3.8 DEOXIDIZING. The cleaned parts shall be chemically deoxidized NO MORE THAN 10 DAYS PRIOR TO WELDING to remove thick surface oxide films. (If the material or work is exposed to an outdoor environment, this time limit shall be reduced to a maximum of 3 days, to account for atmospheric effects.) Mechanical cleaning methods shall be applied just prior to the actual start of welding, to remove any reoxidation or residual thin oxide films. 3.8.1 CHEMICAL TREATMENT. An acid deoxidizing treatment shall be applied by either immersion or brushing/wiping. Deoxidizers acceptable for use shall include nitric acid, sulfuric chromic, phosphoric chromic, or equivalent solutions. Sodium hydroxide solutions shall not be used. Care shall be taken to assure 100% solution coverage of the area to be welded. To allow an adequately sized deoxidized area for good welding, the solution shall be applied to an area extending at least 2 inches from the weld site, or ending at any closer adjacent edge. 3.8.2 MECHANICAL MEANS. Immediately prior to welding, mechanical cleaning methods shall be applied to the weld areas previously chemically treated to assure removal of residual or reformed oxides, if any. Acceptable methods of mechanical cleaning include stainless steel wire brushing, scraping, filing, or sanding. However, abrasives containing iron and its oxides, steel wool and wire, and copper alloy based wire, which may become embedded with galvanically active metals and accelerate corrosion of aluminum alloys shall NOT be used. Mechanical methods shall be vigorous enough to adequately remove any residual oxide films, but gentle enough to avoid forming an excessively rough surface in the comparatively soft metal underneath

Value counts single-winner awards. "Shared" awards are multiple-award contracts that list every winner with the same total ceiling; that ceiling is not one company's win, so it is not added in. Revenue next to a ticker is the company's last annual revenue from its 10-K.
