As prescribed in 46.504-92, insert the following clause in full text:

LEVEL I MATERIAL CERTIFICATION

(DLA MARITIME-NORFOLK) (JUN 2011) - DLAD

(a)  Due to the critical application of Level I Material in surface ships and submarines, maximum confidence of material integrity and quality is required. Contractors are required to maintain total and complete traceability for all materials used in Level I items (i.e., assemblies, components, parts designated as Level I). This traceability requires material certifications from the origin of the material (MILL) which contain quantitative chemical and mechanical data. Where the mechanical properties of the material have been altered by heat treatment or metal working processes, the mill certification shall be accompanied by a certification, from the heat treatment or metal working facility, which contains quantitative results of the mechanical test performed to prove that the matieral supplied complies with the specifrication to which it was procured. The sole alternative permitted to the mill and heat treatment or metal working certifications is a testing laboratory's quantitative test report, identifiable and traceable to the material it represents.

(b)  Transcription of data from the original mill certification, heat treatment or metal working facility certification, and/or testing laboratory test report to a contractor/supplier/vendor form is prohibited. Certifications provided to the Government will be originals or exact copies thereof and will include signatures, traceability numbers, all other requirements or DI-MISC-81020.

(c)  The Contractor shall include the substance of this clause in all subcontracts and purchase orders to their suppliers of Level I material.
