Troy Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Specifically, with regard to FAR 19.705-2(B )(2), when making the subject determination; "[w]hether there are likely to be product prequalification requirements" is listed as a relevant factor to be considered. The only reference to product prequalifications I've been able to find is in DFARS PGI 217.75 "Acquisition of Replenishment Parts" at subsection 1-103.25 Qualifications as follows - Any action (contractual or precontractual) that results in approval for a firm to supply items to the Government without further testing beyond quality assurance demonstrations incident to acceptance of an item. When prequalification is required, the Government must have a justification on file— (a) Stating the need for qualification and why it must be done prior to award; (B ) Estimating likely cost of qualification; and (c ) Specifying all qualification requirements. http://farsite.hill.af.mil/vfdfara.htm My question is, would the above reference be the only guidance concerning product prequalification requirements; and consequently if they are required, what needs to be considered, with regard to subcontracting possibilities?

Retreadfed Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Have you looked at FAR Subpart 9.2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Posted January 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 I do believe that covers it. Guess I got hung up searching for the specific term "product prequalification". Appreciate the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
