The “Manufacture Qualification Requirements (MQR) for Propulsion Critical Safety Items (CSI) & Critical Application Items (CAI)” document outlines the technical requirements for potential sources (PS) to obtain Engineering Support Activity (ESA) approval for manufacturing propulsion items. This MQR applies to specific Acquisition Method Suffix Codes (AMSC) within the Propulsion Sustainment Division. To gain approval, a PS must submit a Company Profile and a Source Approval Request (SAR). The Company Profile details the company's quality assurance, equipment, and sub-tier supplier information, while the SAR focuses on the specific item for which approval is sought, including technical data, manufacturing plans, and demonstration packages. The document specifies different SAR categories based on the PS's experience with the item. It also details the evaluation process, approval duration (3 years for CSI, 7 for CAI), and requirements for Source Resubstantiation Requests (SRR) and Process Change Requests (PCR). Strict formatting and content requirements are outlined for all submissions, including redacting financial data and using specific digital formats. The ESA may conduct on-site audits and can revoke approval if conditions are not met.
