About this file

This First Article Requirements document details the initial testing and approval process for an RF Common Module (NSN 5895011745742EW) for the Air Force. The document specifies a First Article quantity of 2 units, which will be tested and evaluated at Robins Air Force Base using the REW/DAAE test station. The contractor must identify each First Article sample with an Item Sequence Number and manufacture the items at the same facilities where production will occur.

Key testing requirements include a formal test plan developed by AFLCMC/WNY engineering, with Form Fit Function testing accomplished using the NHA Band 7 RF Source LRU. A successful end-to-end run of the B7RFS Test Procedure Specification (TPS) with the provided component is mandatory. The government will conduct testing and evaluation, with an estimated cost of $5,000, and will provide written notice of approval or disapproval within 120 days after receiving the First Article package. First Articles are required when there have been changes in production processes or when production has been discontinued for more than 36 months.
