In the event the contractor requests approval for material and equipment
which does not meet the contract requirements, furnish by letter the
following additional information to the COMPACNAVFACENGCOM:
a. Whether the substitution is of equal, better, or lesser quality
than the design requirements.
b.

c. If of equal or better quality, the advantages to the Government
for accepting the substitution at no change in contract price.

of "Approval Subject to the Corrections Noted," "Return for Corrections
Noted and Resubmission," and "Disapproval." The letter shall clearly
describe why the particular action was recommended. Identify which
