SQAR CODE DEFINITIONS

SQAR Code A - Raw Materials Associated with metallic (ferrous and non-ferrous) or nonmetallic materials that are controlled by a material specification, i.e., sheet, bar/plate/round stock, ingots, extrusions, tubing, bare wire, fiberglass, graphite, Kevlar, plastics, rubber sheets, etc. Materials may be provided by the original mill or manufacturer, or furnished by distributors. B - Combined with SQAR code “A” as of 1/12/07 C - Castings & Forgings “As cast” castings and forgings D - Kits Various types of material that may be contained within a plastic bag, box, or sealable enclosure specifically packaged together for the purpose of ease of assembly, modification, repair, and/or completion of any mechanical/structural or electrical/electronic assembly. Kitted parts may be any combination of standard electrical or mechanical hardware, fabricated, non-metallic, or composite details, hand tools, paints, chemicals, sealants, or tape. E - Fabricated Parts Parts that are fabricated from sheet metal through metal forming/ blanking/chemical milling operations, i.e. stampings, stretch form, brake form, routing, punch press, drop hammer, joggling, hand forming, hydro forming. Simple to complex metallic parts that are machined from plate or bar or round stock, extrusions, castings, or forgings. Including, those that have minor assembly work such as installation of bushings or bearings or have been welded. F - Standard Parts/Hardware Fittings, couplings, springs, fasteners, o-rings, inserts, pins, decals, nameplates, cables, insulated wires, resistors, capacitors, diodes, blank circuit boards, connectors, switches and miscellaneous small parts controlled by design standard drawings. G - Combined with SQAR code “F” as of 1/12/07

H - Structural Assemblies Simple/minor metallic or composite aircraft structures and sub- assemblies such as windshields/windows, doors, flaps, canopies, radomes, nacelles, etc. I - Functional Assemblies Mechanical, hydraulic, electromechanical, fuel, oxygen, pyrotechnics, parachutes, life rafts, pneumatics, landing gears, actuators, valves, hydraulic pumps/motors, electrical motors, and aircraft assemblies that usually require acceptance/functional testing (ATP). J - Electrical, Electronic, and Electromechanical (EEE) Assemblies and Sub-Assemblies Electrical, Electronic, and Electromechanical (EEE) assemblies/sub- assemblies that usually require acceptance/ functional testing (ATP), i.e., stuffed circuit boards, “black boxes”, flight control computers, recorders, radios, wiring harnesses, antennas, and waveguides, etc. K - Combined with SQAR code “L” as of 5/09/08 L - Non-Metallic & Composite Details Parts that are fabricated from graphite, plastic, phenolic, rubber, kevlar, i.e. seals, gaskets, blankets, etc. Fiberglass, honeycomb, laminate, and any other composite detail parts, such as skin panels, fairings, etc. These parts can be either fabricated to an engineering drawing or procured to a material specification. M - Paints, Sealants, & Chemicals Airborne paints, sealants, adhesives, chemicals and consumables (e.g. tape) procured to a material specification for use on contract deliverable items. N - Major Components/Assemblies Supplier designed components, mechanical and avionics systems or subsystems typically Prime Mission Equipment (PME). Also included are high-value hardware items, hardware considered to be critical to flight performance and/or safety. O - Special Processing Outside or in-house processing performed to a process specification in support of material/parts finish/testing requirements, i.e., anodize, paint, plating, welding, chemical milling, heat treat, non-destructive test (NDT), etc. that requires customer process approval.

P - Technical Services Services provided in support of assuring product compliance, i.e., calibration, CMM inspection, aircraft weighing, NDT technical support, etc. Q - Tooling Usually associated with Special Tooling (ST) or Special Test Equipment (STE) purchased by Northrop Grumman for use by Northrop Grumman or the supplier in producing/validating parts/assemblies. ST and STE are usually fabricated in accordance with Northrop Grumman/ Northrop Grumman’s Customer tooling specifications.

Note: Unaccountable ST and STE may also be included within this SQAR Code. R - Repairs Related to the repair or overhaul of items originally procured with SQAR Codes I, J, N, or W only, that have either been in service or are no longer in warranty. Typical items include Prime Mission Equipment (PME), Line Replaceable Units (LRU), assemblies and sub-assemblies that require testing. S - Software Contract deliverable software typically procured in support of airborne or ground support equipment. T - No SQAR No quality system requirements are applicable. Normally for non- deliverable material and Government and/or Customer furnished equipment. U - Commercial Items As defined in FAR 2.101 paragraph 1, 2, 3 and 8 (1) Any item, other than real property, that is of a type customarily used by the general public or by non-governmental entities for purposes other than governmental purposes, and (a) Has been sold, leased, or licensed to the general public; or (b) Has been offered for sale, lease, or license to the general public; (2) Any item that evolved from an item described in paragraph (1) of this definition through advances in technology or performance and that is not yet available in the commercial marketplace, but will be available

in the commercial marketplace in time to satisfy the delivery requirements under a Government solicitation (3) Any item that would satisfy a criterion expressed in paragraphs (1) or (2) of this definition, but for - (i) Modifications of a type customarily available in the commercial marketplace; or (ii) Minor modifications of a type not customarily available in the commercial marketplace made to meet Federal Government requirements. Minor modifications mean modifications that do not significantly alter the nongovernmental function or essential physical characteristics of an item or component, or change the purpose of a process. Factors to be considered in determining whether a modification is minor include the value and size of the modification and the comparative value and size of the final product. Dollar values and percentages may be used as guideposts, but are not conclusive evidence that a modification is minor. (8) A non-developmental item, if the procuring agency determines the item was developed exclusively at private expense and sold in substantial quantities, on a competitive basis, to multiple State and local governments Note: This code is not for commercial items that include any program unique parts or embedded software unique to NGC. V - Research & Development (R&D)/Advanced Programs Products that are procured for an experimental proof of concept vehicle that will be part of "flight" hardware. This does not include pre-production development phases such as Engineering Manufacturing and Development (EMD), System Design and Development (SDD), etc.; and are not used for production contracts. W - Custom/ Modified Off The Shelf Assemblies and sub-assemblies that consist of Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) catalog items that are uniquely configured/assembled for a particular program or application and are not sold to the general public in this configuration.
