Q34
Counterfeit Electronic Parts
Prevention
Supplier or Seller and its Supplier shall implement appropriate controls to
ensure product origin and conformance to ATK requirements, specifications
and related engineering drawings to ensure that procurement of parts are
only from Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), or QPL source or an
authorized franchised distributor of the manufacturer. In the event EEE
parts must be procured from a Broker or a non-franchised distributor or non
QPL source or a supplier other than the OEM where the original product
certification is not available, the Seller or its supplier may purchase parts
from these sources only upon written approval from the Buyer. EEE parts
authorized by the buyer to be purchased from a Broker or non-franchised
distributor or non QPL source where OEM verification cannot be obtained,
must have lot acceptance testing performed as specified on the device data
sheet or if applicable the ATK drawing, by an independent third party. The
parts testing as a minimum must be subjected to a DPA analysis and
electrical testing and sampling that meet the original manufacture’s
specification sheet. This analysis must be performed for each date lot code
within each lot of parts purchased.
Sample size: As specified on the OEM’s device data sheet. If no sample
size is specified on the OEM data sheet, sample size shall be 116/0. That
is, a sample size of 116 shall be randomly selected from each lot/date code
and submitted to the specified testing.
If the lot size is less than the required sample size (116/0) each and every
device in the lot shall be tested and identified. All failed devices shall be
removed from lot.
If any device in the sample fails any parameter in the lot acceptance testing
each and every additional device in the lot shall be tested on the same test
set up for all parameters in the test, and all failed devices shall be removed
from the lot. If this testing results in a percent defective greater than 5
percent, the results shall be submitted to the ATK Buyer for lot disposition
prior to the use of any devices in the lot.
The procedures defined in this QAP are in no way to be interpreted as
relieving the Supplier/Seller from the responsibility of meeting all
contractual/purchase order requirements.

Tin Whisker Mitigation
ATK-NR Form 174
Rev. 04/16
No equipment shall contain hardware or components consisting of pure tin,
tin alloy materials, finishes and lead-free, in internal or external components
of electrical, electronics, and electromechanical EEE parts. This includes
any parts classified as RoHS compliant. Such condition is prohibited, unless
authorized by ATK DES Supply Chain. If the hardware contains more than
97% tin in the finish plating, leads, or terminals, the finish plating shall be
replaced by one or more mitigation techniques identified in GEIA-STD-00052 and GEIA-STD-0006, shall be used for each use of Pb-free tin. Each
Shipment of material(s) and/or assemblies shall include a certification of
conformance to ATK Plan 7554036 regardless of any waiver(s) granted. The
certificate of conformance assures compliance with Material Finish Testing
Requirements (Para 3.4.1), Hot Solder Dipping (Para 3.4.2), and
conformance with ATK (and if required, Government) approved Mitigation
Plans (Para 3.4.3). Documented proof of, but not limited to, material finish
associated testing, processing, mitigation plans, and approvals shall be
maintained by the subcontractor/supplier for a period of not less than 7
years. The seller shall notify DES SCM prior to any change by the seller or
its sub-tiers that would result in products specified in the respective PO
becoming non-compliant to these requirements.

AS9102 FIRST ARTICLE
INSPECTION CREATION
AND MAINTENANCE (FAI)
DETAILED REQUIREMENTS
AS9102 FIRST ARTICLE INSPECTION CREATION AND MAINTENANCE
(FAI): Items on this Purchase Order may be participating in the Orbital ATK
AS9100/AS9102 First Article Inspection requirements programs. Unless the
item is listed in the following exemptions, Suppliers will be required to
submit a valid FAI report (Forms 1, 2, and 3) and associated Balloon
Drawing identifying compliance to the Engineering characteristics and
requirements provided on the Orbital ATK drawing and all sub-leveldrawings Suppliers produce or procure. Suppliers may be required to
comply to this requirement even if the Supplier is not an AS9100 registered
facility. Orbital ATK Suppliers are responsible for flowing this requirement to
sub-Suppliers and obtaining acceptable FAI reports for sub-assemblies and
sub-detail parts. The FAI report submittal shall occur with the first delivery;
and on subsequent deliveries requiring either a partial or full resubmittal - if
(and only if) the results of the previous report(s) have been invalidated (such
as a process change or facility change, lapse in production of two years, or
an Orbital ATK drawing revision/design change). If additional clarification is
required on preparing or accepting FAI reports and/or the AS9100
standards, please contact Orbital ATK Clearwater Mission Assurance
through the Orbital ATK Buyer.
Suppliers that receive this clause applied and the product appears to be
exempt, should contact the Orbital ATK Buyer and/or Mission Assurance
regarding removing the requirement. Mark all such deliveries “FAI Exempt”
on the C of C or Shipping Documentation.
Suppliers that have deliveries where Orbital ATK should have a valid FAI
report on file already should note the C of C or shipping documentation with
“valid FAI on file at Orbital ATK”. No additional report submittals are
required in this case.
Suppliers of a FAI part that have delivered product previously without FAI
(e.g. now delivering subsequent 2nd, 3rd, 4th order) and this clause has
been only now been applied, can assume that a full FAI is required as if it
was the Suppliers first delivery.
Exemption: All Standard Catalog Parts (e.g. Orbital ATK vendor item
drawings, mil parts, etc.) are exempt.
Exemption: All Orbital ATK (cage 06424) parts where the initial drawing (e.g.
revision dash) was released prior to 2009 are exempt.
