FIRST ARTICLE INSPECTION JUSTIFICATION

This item is used in the safe operation and use of the end item. The engineering data (blue prints, technical data package, etc.) contain close tolerances and complex processes and/or operations which require verification of a contractor's ability to produce this item. Not all of the critical characteristics may be measureable, therefore fit verification test articles are required. For these reasons, 3 parts are required. Conditions of first article waiver are as previously outlined.

CONDITIONS OF WAIVER OF FIRST ARTICLE INSPECTION. Offerors who have previously furnished production quantities of the same articles for Government, DOD or Air Force provided articles thus furnished have exhibited satisfactory performance in service, in the opinion of the Air Force.

First Article testing is waived if the offeror is the OEM, Rolls Royce Corporation.

For FMS contracts, forward approved First Articles to contractor for shipment with production quantities
