The contractor's request shall state the nature and reasons for the change and the effect of the change on cost and delivery. Engineering change proposals, which have no effect on cost or schedule, may be approved by the AFPTEF program manager/project engineer, and routed through the contracting office.

3.1.3. First article acceptance and inspection. AFPTEF personnel will perform preliminary

(first article) inspection and acceptance of the pre-production units for conformance to the specification, drawings, and contractor inspection records. The contractor shall notify AFPTEF 15 days prior to the date they propose for the inspection, so schedule and travel arrangements may be made.

3.1.4. UN performance oriented packaging (POP) tests. The contractor shall supply a total of two CNU-766/E and two CNU-776/E to AFPTEF for performance testing (one of each in the Base Year and Option Year 2) IAW SP20171300. AFPTEF shall prepare a written report at the completion of testing. These containers will not be returned after testing.

3.1.5. Acceptance and inspection. The contractor will be notified in writing by the

Contracting Officer within 5 days after POP testing acceptance. In the base year, this will signal the start of production. In option year 2, this will signal that the first production lots may be delivered. The Contracting Officer appointed official will perform final inspection and acceptance of production units at the contractor’s facility.

3.1.6. Rejection of containers. Containers failing to pass the acceptance tests, as outlined in the container fabrication specification (SP20171300), may be modified by the contractor and re-tested or another container may be fabricated.

3.1.7. Management and technical meetings. The government or the contractor may call a technical interchange meeting. The location of the meeting will be determined prior to the meeting date or may be accomplished remotely. The contractor shall notify the government 15 days prior to the date they propose for the meeting, so schedule and travel arrangements (if necessary) may be made.
