Revision 2

1. APPLICATION

1.1. This MQR applies to CSI and CAI with an Acquisition Method Suffix Code (AMSC) of C, D, K, M, N, P, Q, R, S, V, and Z within the Propulsion Sustainment Division. This MQR does not apply to items with an AMSC of G, A, B, H, L, U, and Y. 1.2. This MQR establishes technical requirements, which Potential Sources (PS) must satisfy in order to obtain Engineering Support Activity (ESA) approval to manufacture propulsion items.

2. SCOPE

2.1. The PS must have a valid Company Profile on record with the ESA in order to gain source approval status. If one does not exist the PS must submit one. Company Profile requirements are described in section 7.
2.2. In order to gain source approval status, the PS must submit a SAR. The SAR requirements are described in section 8.
2.3. The Company Profile and SAR will be reviewed by the ESA and the PS will either be made an approved source, or denied source approval. See section 10. 2.4. Source approval status expires after 3 years for CSI, and 7 years for CAI. Sources that deliver parts on government contract, maintain source approval status. See section 11. 2.5. Approved sources shall submit a Source Resubstantiation Request (SRR) prior to expiration of the current approval period (recommended 60 days) in order to renew the approval status duration. See section 12.
2.6. Any time a change to the SAR documentation occurs, the approved source must submit a Process Change Request (PCR) for review by the ESA. See section 13. 2.7. The ESA may revoke the approval status of a PS at any time per FAR 9.207.

3. SUBMITTAL CONSIDERATION

3.1. The PS should consider submitting a SAR for evaluation after determining that the USAF is in need of the subject item. This can be done by considering the following: 3.1.1.
