CHAPTER 2:
QUALIFICATION POLICIES
APPLICATION FOR QUALIFICATION
A manufacturer's application for qualification is made by letter or other appropriate media as requested by the Qualifying Activity. The manufacturer's application is addressed to the activity indicated in the "Notes" section (Section 6) of the applicable specification.
All applicants must have an active Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) code, for the supplier or authorized distributor, and all plants at which the product will be manufactured. If a supplier or manufacturing plant does not have a CAGE Code, a CAGE Code may be obtained without charge by following the procedures at www.sam.gov.
Each application contains the number and date of the specification under which tests are desired and the type, grade, class, or other specification designation of the product. The application also includes the brand designation for the product and the exact location (including the CAGE Code) of the plant at which the product was manufactured. When the applicant is a distributor, the name and CAGE Code of the plant location of the actual manufacturer will be included.
If the tests are to be conducted in a facility other than one owned or operated by the Government, the location of the facility will be furnished, and with the initial application only, an annotated
list of test equipment will be provided. The list will include the equipment's and the manufacturer's names, the type or model number, and the serial or inventory number. Information about equipment accuracy, limits, and the frequency of calibration will be included.
The latest date and place of calibration will be given, and when specifically requested, the calibration will be traced to national or other recognized standards.
In addition, the application includes certification that the applicant:
1. Agrees to be bound by all of the provisions and terms set forth in this document.
2. Is the manufacturer of the product or a distributor authorized by the manufacturer to distribute the product with the manufacturer's brand or to rebrand and distribute the product under his own brand and designation. A distributor who rebrands will furnish certification from the actual manufacturer that he is authorized to rebrand and distribute the product with his own brand designation.
3. Has determined from actual tests (within the limits of test equipment commonly available, unless otherwise specified) that the product conforms to the applicable specification. (Test reports and data should be furnished with the application.)
