The selection of those samples shall be noted in a discrepancy report that shall identify the item part number, DODIC, contract, lot number, serial numbers of the pre-selected units, and the cosmetic defect of each serial number. DCMA shall be notified in advance by submission of the discrepancy report of the preselected production lot test samples with external cosmetic http://www.pmddtc.state.gov/regulations_laws/itar.html defects prior to submission of the production lot for random sample selection.
