About this file

This document outlines first article testing requirements for a federal contract to procure aircraft seals. The contractor must submit three first article samples for inspection and testing to verify compliance with drawings and specifications. Two samples will be part of the production quantity, while one additional sample must be destructively tested. The contractor's test plan is due 30 days prior to testing, and the test report must be submitted to the identified Defense Logistics Agency office. The cognizant Air Force engineering authority will determine if first article testing can be waived based on the contractor's past performance and experience. Failure to meet quality standards could adversely impact aircraft mission capability and safety.
