RETREAD TIRES
The U.S. General Services administration, Automotive Commodity Center's Federal Tire Program
has developed a facility quality assurance program under its retread tire procurement process. The
program is called Quality Assurance Facility Inspection Program (QAFIP) arid is designed to help
insure the quality of retread tires and tire retreading services. While QAFIP was developed
principally to insure the quality of retread tires and retreading services purchased by the Federal
government, use of QAFIP-certified facilities will also insure the quality of the retread tires or
retreading services purchased by non-Federal entities.
Under the QAFIP, the Federal Tire Program has defined a performance standard for a quality
assurance program and certifies retread tire industry associations and companies to conduct retread
tire facility inspections. In other words, the' QAFIP uses the government-certified quality assurance
program of a retread tire industry association or retread tire.company. The association or company
inspects and certifies the retread facility and is responsible for monitoring of retread facilities under
the QAFIP. Facilities that have successfully completed a QAFIP certification will receive a "Retread
Facility Certification" form,, which will be kept on file at the retread facility, the association or
company's headquarters, and the Federal Tire Program. Government procurement offices can contact
the Federal Tire Program or the association or company for verification of the certification of the
inspecting association/company under the QAFIP.
The Federal Tire Program will monitor implementation of the QAFIP and the facility certifications
issued by the associations and companies. If it is found that the standards of the QAFIP certification
are not being met, the QAFIP certification will be terminated for that particular association or
company for that particular certification period. The association oir company must wait one year
before re-applying for certification of its quality assurance program.
Following is a list of the government-certified associations and companies'. Please contact them for a
list of the QAFIP-certified retread facilities in your area. It is recommended that proof of QAFIP
certification is required from the retread dealer(s) prior to issuance of a contract.
