                    QUALITY REQUIREMENT   (FEB 1999)   DSCR


    The Contractor shall comply with the applicable higher-
level contract quality requirement cited below, which is 
hereby incorporated into this contract:

ANSI/ISO/ASQC Q9001-2000          

DSCR NOTE to 52.246-11:

    The higher-level standards referenced above shall apply 
unless the contractor indicates the proposal is based on a 
contractor's preferred quality system as identified below:

  [  ]  Other recognized industry standard(s) (but non-ISO/ANSI/
ASQC) that is equivalent to or better than applicable ANSI/ISO/
ASQC Q9001-2000 standard indicated above.

        Specify                                     .

  [  ]  Other process control system that is equivalent to or 
better than the applicable ANSI/ISO/ASQC standard indicated above 
which has not previously been determined to be insufficient for 
the Government's purpose.  This may include previously recognized 
MIL-I-45208 or MIL-Q-9858 systems which have been augmented to be 
equivalent to ANSI/ISO/ASQC Q9001-2000.

  [  ]  An existing system modeled after 
        [  ] MIL-I-45208 or 
        [  ] MIL-Q-9858 and not previously determined insufficient 
for the Government's purpose.  
THIS OPTION IS PERMITTED ONLY AS AN INTERIM MEASURE TO ALLOW
CONTRACTORS TO TRANSITION TO ANSI/ISO/ASQC STANDARDS.

    Third party certification/registration is not required nor will 
it be considered a substitute for the Government's right to audit/
validate a contractor's quality system.  

    MIL-STD-105 has been replaced by ANSI/ASQC Z1.4-2003, Sampling 
Procedure and Tables for Inspection by Attributes.

    MIL-STD-45662A has been replaced by either ISO 10012-1, Quality 
Assurance Requirements for Measuring Equipment or ANSI/NCSL Z540-1, 
General Requirements for Calibration Laboratories and Measuring 
Equipment and Test Equipment.
