SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title and OMB Number: Defense
Federal Acquisition Regulation
Supplement (DFARS) Part 246, Quality
Assurance, and related clauses at
252.246; OMB Control Number 0704–
0441.
Needs and Uses: The information
collections under OMB Control Number
0704–0441 pertain to all information
that offerors or contractors must submit
related to DFARS contract quality
assurance programs. This renewal
includes the incorporation of OMB
Control Number 0704–0541.
a. 252.246–7003, Notification of
Potential Safety Issues. Contracting
officers require timely notification of
potential safety defects so that (1)
systems and equipment likely affected
by the situation can be readily
identified, and (2) appropriate
engineering investigation and follow-on
actions can be taken to establish and
mitigate risk.
b. 252.246–7005, Notice of Warranty
Tracking of Serialized Items. The
information provided by offerors under
this provision alerts contracting officers
in those cases where the offeror is
proposing to provide a warranty for an
individual contract line item for which
DoD has not specified a warranty in the
solicitation. The warranty notice will
permit the Government to recognize and
utilize any warranty after contract
award.
c. 252.246–7006, Warranty Tracking
of Serialized Items. This clause
implements section 818 of the National
Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for
Fiscal Year (FY) 2012 (Pub. L. 112–81 as
amended by section 817 of the NDAA
for FY 2015 (Pub. L. 113–291). The
information provided by contractors
allows DoD to track warranties for item
unique item identification (IUID)
required items in the IUID registry to
obtain maximum utility of warranties
provided on contracted items. The
identification and enforcement of
warranties is essential to the
effectiveness and efficiency of DoD’s
material readiness. Providing visibility
and accountability of warranty data

associated with acquired goods, from
the identification of the requirement to
the expiration date of the warranted
item, significantly enhances DoD’s
ability to take full advantage of
warranties, resulting in—
(1) Reduced costs;
(2) Ability to recognize benefits
included at no additional cost;
(3) Ability to compare performance
against Government-specified
warranties; and
(4) Identification of sufficient
durations for warranties for specific
goods.
d. 252.246–7008, Sources of
Electronic Parts. The notification and
documentation requirements are
necessary to comply with statute. The
contracting officer will use the
information to ensure that the contractor
performs the traceability of parts,
additional inspection, testing, and
authentication required when an
electronic part is not obtained from a
trusted supplier. The Government may
also use this information to more
actively perform acceptance.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profit and not-for- profit institutions.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
obtain or retain benefits.
Frequency: On occasion.
Type of Request: Revision and
extension.
Number of Respondents: 34,842.
Annual Responses: 122,023.
Annual Burden Hours: 2,075,684
(includes 39,074 reporting hours and
2,036,610 recordkeeping hours).
