3.2.9 The Contractor shall not ship any lot of material prior to the review and acceptance of each submitted COA by the Government.

3.2.10 The COA and all other documents the Contractor submits to the

Government shall be in English.

4. TESTING REQUIREMENTS

The Contractor shall be responsible for Independent Third-Party Sampling and Testing as verification of the specified material chemical and physical properties.

4.1 Sampling: The Government requires each lot of material to be sampled by an independent third-party sampling company. The aggregate sample of each lot shall be representative of each lot’s chemical and physical properties.

4.1.1. Sampling operations shall generate four equivalent samples:

a. One sample shall be the Contractor’s sample. The Contractor controls the disposition of its sample.

b. One sample shall be the Government’s sample. The Contractor shall deliver each government sample to the Government with each lot of material.

c. One sample shall be the analytical sample. If the independent third-party testing company is also performing the sampling operations, the independent third-party sampling company shall maintain chain of custody of the analytical sample. If the independent third-party testing company is different from the independent third-party sampling company, the independent third-party sampling company shall document and be responsible for transfer of chain of custody of the analytical sample to the independent third-party testing company.

d. And, one sample shall be the analytical laboratory’s reserve sample. If the independent third-party testing company is also performing the sampling operations, the independent third-party sampling company shall maintain chain of custody of the reserve sample. If the independent third-party testing company is different from the independent third-party sampling company, the independent third-party sampling company shall document and be responsible for transfer of chain of custody of the reserve sample to the independent third-party testing company.

4.1.2 Sampling operations by the independent third-party sampling company shall take place at the vendor’s packaging process facility. The Contractor’s packaging process facility shall be within the Continental United States (CONUS). Sampling operations must comply with the following:

a. Samples shall be collected from the beginning, middle, and end of every batch in every lot in accordance with ASTM E300.

b. The Contractor shall ensure both the analytical sample and the reserve sample for each lot have a sample size of not less than 500 grams.

c. The Contractor shall ensure the contents of each container the independent third-party sampling company selects for sampling are thoroughly blended for 30 minutes by rolling and turning end for end.

4.1.3 The Contractor shall submit a detailed sampling plan with their proposal.

4.1.4 Bulk Material Sampling Company. The Contractor shall use a CONUS-based professional bulk material sampler that has an established reputation for experience in and excellence for bulk material sampling in steel/ferroalloy materials and ores and concentrates; aluminum; fluorspar; zinc; manganese, tantalum, niobium, and rare earth oxides or carbonates at a minimum. The bulk material sampler shall have experience using sampling operations that are compliant with ASTM and ISO bulk sampling standards or accepted standards for sampling in the associated material industry.

4.1.4.1 The Contractor shall abide by the professional bulk sampling company’s requests for accommodation of the bulk sampling company’s sample collection procedure.

4.1.4.2 The Contractor shall provide the professional bulk material sampling company access to their repackaging process facility such that the bulk material sampling company can collect aggregate samples – one for the Government, one for analysis, one for the Contractor, and one for laboratory reserve – and each aggregate sample shall be representative of each of the Contractor’s lots of material.

The samples must be collected in processus of the Contractor’s repackaging process, where the material is repackaged into the previously specified drums for the Government.

4.1.4.3 The Contractor shall provide access to the Contractor’s packaging/repackaging facility and permit the professional bulk material sampling company to collect representative samples of each lot of material. The Contractor shall not ship any lot of material to the Government that has not been sampled at the Contractor’s packaging / repackaging facility by the professional bulk material sampling company.

The Contractor shall submit written notification(s) to the KO and the COR a minimum of thirty (30) calendar days in advance of performing any packaging/repackaging of lot(s) of material at their packaging/repackaging facility that is intended for the delivery to the Government. The Contractor shall only package/repackage lot(s) of material, intended for delivery to the Government, at their packaging/repackaging facility when the Government and/or the Government’s designated agent(s) are present, and the professional bulk material sampling company is performing sampling operations at the Contractor’s packaging/repackaging facility.

The Government may temporarily waive the necessity of the Government’s presence during sampling operations at any time.

4.1.4.4 The Contractor shall ensure the professional bulk

sampling company’s sample collection process remains independent in nature. Neither the Government nor the Contractor shall have influence on the professional bulk sampling company’s decisions and methods in the performance the sampling company’s sampling operations and procedures, other than as required in this SOW. This requirement of independence does not preclude the Contractor from collaborating with the Government or the professional bulk material sampling company to facilitate the Contractor’s performance under this contract.

4.1.4.5 The Government reserves the right to witness all material sampling operations. The Contractor shall collaborate with the professional bulk sampler and the COR for scheduling of sampling operations.

4.1.4.6 The Contractor shall not make any changes to the bulk material sampling company’s sampling plan (submitted and approved as part of the Contractor’s proposal) without the explicit written approval of the KO.

4.1.4.7 The Contractor shall maintain and document chain of custody of each lot’s government sample, analytical sample, and laboratory reserve sample. The Contractor shall deliver the analytical sample and the laboratory reserve sample to the lab, while transferring chain of custody of the analytical sample and the laboratory reserve sample to the lab.

The Government will advise the Contractor on the Government’s preferred method of transfer of chain of custody of the Government’s sample to the Government.

Often, the Government’s samples will be shipped with their corresponding material lots, unless the Contractor and Government agree upon an alternative transfer of custody of the Government’s samples.

4.2 Testing: The Contractor shall use an independent analytical chemistry laboratory (“lab”) to perform material testing. The lab shall have CONUS-based operations. The lab shall perform all activities of this SOW within CONUS.
