DLA announces quality control plans complying with MIL-I-45208 will no longer be acceptable when solicitations include Higher Level Quality clause FAR 52.246-11. What this means is the entry-level for a Supplier quality control plan is compliance with a Tailored ISO 9001 Quality System or full compliance with the ISO 9001 Quality System instead of MIL-I-45208, or a comparable program such as AS9003 or AS9100, which are more comprehensive than ISO 9001. DLA warns, “Manufacturers that cannot comply with the ISO 9001 quality control plan requirements or tailored ISO 9001 quality system or comparable quality program may be precluded from receiving awards.” JnF Specialties has released a compliant document kit for DLA's Tailored ISO 9001 quality system that is useful for businesses that don't want any more documents than absolutely necessary to achieve compliance with DLA Aviation or DLA Land and Maritime flowdown requirements. According to DLA's tailored ISO 9001 quality system, procedures and forms that are not required for full compliance with ISO 9001 are included in the kit in a separate folder just in case a Company decides later to become fully compliant with ISO 9001.
JnF Specialties owner says “This notice from DLA will have a domino effect because MIL-I-45208 was replaced with a tailored ISO 9001 quality system by a very large Buyer that will influence other Buyers. This change in minimum quality system requirement has been pending since 1996, which is when MIL-I-45208 was cancelled without replacement. Only DLA contracts that reference clause FAR 52.246-11 Higher Level Quality are affected.” JnF Specialties tailored ISO 9001 quality system kit helps businesses transition from MIL-I-45208 to compliance with DLA minimum quality system requirements.
