The "Manufacture Qualification Requirements (MQR) for Propulsion Critical Safety Items (CSI) & Critical Application Items (CAI)" document outlines the technical requirements potential sources must meet to gain approval from the Engineering Support Activity (ESA) for manufacturing propulsion items. It stipulates that a valid Company Profile must precede any Source Approval Request (SAR), which includes detailed documentation on aspects such as quality assurance, significant industrial processes, and supplier information. The MQR emphasizes maintaining updated profiles and the necessity for SARs to be submitted within specified timelines to avoid expiration of source approval status, which lasts three years for CSI and seven years for CAI. The document further details the submission format for documentation, usage of proprietary data, and the process for amending profiles or resubmitting requests following changes. Additionally, it defines evaluation methods the ESA will use to review SAR submissions, including the consequences of non-compliance or incomplete data. The MQR serves as a critical guideline for entities seeking to engage in government defense contracts, ensuring that all manufacturers adhere to strict safety and quality standards while participating in federal procurement processes.
