12. REMARKS

Watrous, MichelleNAME: 28 JAN 2021DATE:

A. Item 1 of section F, FIRST ARTICLE DELIVERY, is an engineering estimate and is not contractually binding. First article delivery schedule is defined in the approved and signed contract document.

B. The critical nature of this part requires a First Article from a contractor who has never produced the item or has not produced the item for an extended period of time. The Government reserves the right to assure all materials and process certifications are correct and to test the item to any and/or all drawings, specifications, and other contract requirements. A vendor will normally be allowed only one attempt to receive full or conditional approval. Failure to receive approval of First Article inspection may, at the discretion of the Government, result in termination of the contract.

C. First Article waiver approvals as well as similar item determination are solely the responsibility of the Cognizant Engineering Organization.

D. The Cognizant Engineering Organization shall determine First Article testing requirements based on component criticality and complexity, regardless of Purchase Request value.
