APPENDIX A
A.4.7.1.1 The purpose of a facility audit is to ensure that the manufacturer has in-place
and in daily use, a QMS that conforms to the requirements of the criteria and provisions of the
DSCR QML Program, as reflected in this document. An audit will involve the examination of
applicable documents, processes, and procedures, as well as the various systems required for
attainment of qualification.
A.4.8 QML removal/disapproval.
A.4.8.1 Reasons for removal. The success of the DSCR QML Program is dependent
upon the integrity of those manufacturers that participate in it. Continued participation in the
program is, therefore, contingent upon the manufacturer's continuing compliance with the
criteria and provisions upon which qualification was established. The manufacturer's failure to
comply may be cause for initiation of removal. The following are some examples of reasons for
removal from the QML:
a. The product(s) furnished by the manufacturer under its contract(s) does not meet
contract or specification requirements.
b. Manufacturer no longer supplies the product(s) included in the DSCR QML Program.
c. Manufacturer has been removed as an approved manufacturer by the Design Control
Activity.
d. Manufacturer significantly changes its QMS or its facility location without prior
notification to DSCR.
e. Manufacturer fails an audit.
f. Manufacturer denies access to DSCR audit or survey personnel, or to other personnel
authorized by DSCR to conduct such audits or surveys.
g. Manufacturer ships products from a location other than that for which it has been
qualified or authorized.
h. Qualification criteria and/or provisions are revised, and manufacturer fails or refuses
to comply with revised criteria and/or provisions following opportunity to do so.
i. Manufacturer is debarred, otherwise determined to be ineligible for awards of
Government contracts, or is engaged in practices that indicate less than acceptable integrity or
business ethics.
j. Manufacturer requests that it be removed from the DSCR QML.
k. Manufacturer alters or modifies product furnished under a QML contract.
A.4.8.2 Procedures for removal. The following provisions apply to removal of a
manufacturer from the QML:
a. When removal of a manufacturer from the QML is proposed, and after DSCR buying
office notification, DSCR will notify the manufacturer by certified mail, return receipt requested,
and/or facsimile, citing specific reasons for the proposed removal. The manufacturer shall have
15 days to respond to the notification.
b. Failure by the manufacturer to respond to the notice of contemplated removal letter
within the 15 day period will result in immediate removal of manufacturer from the QML.
