As prescribed in 46.390, insert the following clause:
CERTIFICATE OF QUALITY COMPLIANCE (DEC 1994) - DLAD
The Contractor shall prepare and furnish a Certificate of Quality Compliance (COQC) for all supplies delivered under this contract. If the supplies delivered under this contract are from more than one manufacturing lot, a separate COQC shall be prepared and furnished for each manufacturing lot represented by, manufactured or produced under a product specification, original equipment manufacturer (OEM)/manufacturer's part number, commercial, industry or military standard, or drawings, or other technical data.
(a) This Certificate shall contain the following:
(1) The Contractor's name, address, and commercial and Government entity (CAGE) code number (if assigned), the contract/order number, the applicable specification, drawing, or standard (including revision/amendment and date), identification of the specific supplies manufactured or produced (including National Stock Number, nomenclature, type, grade, and class, if applicable); for metal products, the COQC shall include the alloy designation and condition (finish and temper), if applicable. If the contractor is not a manufacturer, the Certificate shall include the name, address and CAGE Code (if assigned) for each of the entities through which the supplies or materials, components, subassemblies, assemblies or parts passed, so that traceability to the manufacturer will be readily discernible therefrom.
(2) The identification of each parameter for which the contract, specification, drawing, or standard required inspection or testing;
(3) The identification of the specific requirement for each of the parameters in (2), above, for the particular material being produced and covered by the certificate;
(4) The actual results of inspections or tests conducted by the contractor to demonstrate conformance with each of the specific requirements of (3), above;
(5) The marking requirement for the material and the source of this requirement (contract and specification or standard); and
(6) A statement, signed by an authorized contractor representative responsible for quality assurance, that (i) the lot has been produced, sampled, tested, and inspected, and marked in accordance with all contract and specification requirements; and (ii) the material complies with all of the contract and specification requirements.
(b) For contracts assigned for Government inspection at source, the Contractor shall have the completed certificate available for review by the Government representative when the material is presented for acceptance by the Government. In the case of destination-inspected material, the Contractor shall attach a copy of the completed certificate to the packing list sent with each shipment to each shipping point designated in the contract. For source inspected material, a copy may (but need not) accompany the shipment. If the Contractor offering the material to the Government is not the manufacturer of the material, the Contractor is responsible for obtaining a certified test report from the manufacturer, including it as part of this COQC, and for demonstrating that the specific material being offered under this certificate is covered by the certified test report.
(c) Unless otherwise specified by the contract, the Contractor shall be responsible for retaining the certificate for a period of 4 years. When requested by the Contracting Officer, the Contractor shall make the certificate available for review by the Government at any time during the period the certificate is required to be retained.
