(d) Contractor furnished AIE shall be made (i) to the AIE designs specified in Section C, or (ii) to any other design provided the contractor's proposed AIE design is approved by the Government. Contractor's proposed AIE design for inspection of characteristics listed as "Critical, Special or Major" shall be submitted to the Government for review and approval as directed on the Contract Data Requirements List, DD Form 1423. Government approval of AIE design shall not be considered to modify the contract requirements.

(e) When the contractor submits its proposed AIE on commercial off the shelf equipment, the contractor shall include the manufacturer's name and model number, and sufficient information to show capability of the proposed AIE to perform the inspection required. When submitting proposed AIE design documentation on commercial computer controlled test and measuring equipment include information on (1) test program listing (2) flowcharts showing accept and reject limits and computer generated test stimuli (3) calibration program listing (4) sample of the printout of an actual test and calibration (5) test plan to verify accuracy of inspection and correctness of accept or reject decision (6) identification of the equipment by model name and number.

(f) Resubmission of the contractor's proposed AIE design for Government approval on a follow on Government contract is not required, provided the inspection characteristic parameters specified in the technical data package and the previously Government approved AIE designs have not changed. In this situation, the contractor shall provide written correspondence in the place of the AIE designs that indicates the prior Government approval and states that no changes have occurred.

(g) The Government reserves the right to disapprove, at any time during the performance of this contract, any AIE that is not accomplishing its intended use in verifying an inspection or test characteristic.
