The MQR-PSD-1 Revision 2 document outlines the Manufacture Qualification Requirements for Propulsion Critical Safety Items (CSI) and Critical Application Items (CAI) within the Propulsion Sustainment Division. It details the technical requirements potential sources must meet to obtain Engineering Support Activity (ESA) approval for manufacturing these items. Key components of the approval process include submitting a Company Profile, which requires documentation on quality assurance, equipment, and sub-tier suppliers, and a Source Approval Request (SAR). The SAR package, depending on the category (Actual Item or Similar Item), necessitates detailed engineering data, proposed manufacturing plans, legal documents, and demonstration of manufacturing experience. The document also covers procedures for Source Resubstantiation Requests (SRR) and Process Change Requests (PCR), approval durations, evaluation methods, and specific formatting for all submitted documentation. It emphasizes adherence to proprietary data rules and government quality assurance provisions.
