                 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 Excluded Parties List System (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.
