                 Subpart 9.2_Qualifications Requirements
 
Sec.  9.207  Changes in status regarding qualification requirements.

    (a) The contracting officer shall promptly report to the agency 
activity which established the qualification requirement any conditions 
which may merit removal or omission from a QPL, QML, or QBL or affect 
whether a source should continue to be otherwise identified as meeting 
the requirement. These conditions exist when--
    (1) Products or services are submitted for inspection or acceptance 
that do not meet the qualification requirement;
    (2) Products or services were previously rejected and the defects 
were not corrected when resubmitted for inspection or acceptance;
    (3) A supplier fails to request reevaluation following change of 
location or ownership of the plant where the product which met the 
qualification requirement was manufactured (see the clause at 52.209-1, 
Qualification Requirements);
    (4) A manufacturer of a product which met the qualification 
requirement has discontinued manufacture of the product;
    (5) A source requests removal from a QPL, QML, or QBL;
    (6) A condition of meeting the qualification requirement was 
violated; e.g., advertising or publicity contrary to 9.204(h)(5);
    (7) A revised specification imposes a new qualification requirement;

    (8) Manufacturing or design changes have been incorporated in the 
qualification requirement;
    (9) The source is on the List of Parties Excluded from Federal 
Procurement and Nonprocurement Programs (see subpart 9.4); or
    (10) Performance of a contract subject to a qualification 
requirement is otherwise unsatisfactory.
    (b) After considering any of the above or other conditions 
reasonably related to whether a product or source continues to meet the 
standards specified for qualification, an agency may take appropriate 
action without advance notification. The agency shall, however, promptly 
notify the affected parties if a product or source is removed from a 
QPL, QML, or QBL, or will no longer be identified as meeting the 
standards specified for qualification. This notice shall contain 
specific information why the product or source no longer meets the 
qualification requirement.
