Key material specifications are provided for the Ball (Centrifugally cast 6AL-4V or ASTM-B381 Grade F-5) and Seats (MC903 Type 6 cast nylon or equal). New balls are not to be manufactured under this contract; only refurbishment or replacement of existing components.
Key Requirements
Contractors must adhere to strict quality assurance protocols, including a quality system compliant with ISO-9001 (or MIL-I-45208 as an alternate) and comprehensive traceability for all materials, especially for Level I/SUBSAFE components. This includes unique traceability markings, material certifications, and 100% inspection of critical data. Welding and brazing procedures must comply with specified military standards and require prior approval. The requirement involves access to NOFORN and/or Naval Nuclear Propulsion Information, necessitating a security agreement for drawing access. This is a "DO" rated order under the Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS). Shipping costs are excluded as the government will manage logistics.
