RFID HANGTAG

An RFID inlay shall be added to the barcode paper hang tag attached to each item. Where the use of self-adhesive bar-code labels are authorized, the RFID inlay may be added to the self-adhesive label in lieu of a paper hang tag. All other contract barcode and hang tag requirements still apply.

The RFID inlay should be passive Gen2 with a frequency range between 860 and 960 MHz. The RFID antenna should be Avery/Dennis AD222 or comparable with ISO/IEC 18000-C EPCglobal C1G2 Protocol and an EPC memory allocation containing a 96 bit EPC Number. The data linking the EPC number to the NSN and quantity unit pack must be exportable to VIM/ASAP.

The bar code of the EPC Number must be printed at the bottom of the tag along with the human readable version below the bar code.

In addition to defects applicable to the paper tag and barcoding element, the RFID tag shall be examined for the defects listed below:

RFID Inlay omitted RFID Inlay not secure RFID Inlay not laying flat when packaged RFID Inlay not readable with RFID scanner RFID Inlay or configuration not as specified The manual "Item-Level Passive RFID Technology Manufacturer's Information Guide" provides guidance on RFID implementation and is available from the contracting officer.

17. SHADE EVALUATION OF CONTRACTOR FURNISHED MATERIALS (CFM):

Government Acceptance Testing. Unless otherwise stated in the contract, testing performed at the DLA PTC for acceptance purposes will be completed in forty-five (45) calendar days. The contract delivery requirements are based on the assumption that DLA Troop Support and the DLA PTC will require a total of 45 calendar days from the date of the receipt of samples at the Government laboratory to the date the completed test results are mailed to the contractor.

If this time frame is exceeded, the contract delivery schedule will be extended by the number of additional days needed to complete the testing, provided the contractor can establish that the delay in its delivery was caused by the Government exceeding the prescribed time. The foregoing provision for the extension of delivery schedules is exclusive and the Government shall not be liable to suit for breach of contract by reason of any delay of the Government in providing test results.

Shade Evaluation. Shade Evaluation is Acceptance Testing; each lot must be submitted for evaluation. Lots shall not be shipped until shade is approved by Government. The prime contractor will require the fabric or component supplier to present to the source QAS the complete lot prepared for shipment, a set of tally sheets by shipment listing case numbers, roll numbers, and yardage of each roll and a shade swatch (header) from each roll with roll and case numbers identified on each swatch.

The following sampling procedure will be followed unless otherwise specified.

- SHADE SAMPLING IS APPLICABLE

The color and appearance of the shade sample swatch shall match the standard sample when viewed using the AATCC EP 9, Option C, with a primary light source simulating the spectral quality of average daylight, CIE illuminate D65, with a color temperature of 6500 K (±200 K) illumination of 100 (±20) foot candles. The shade sample swatch shall also be an approximate match to the standard sample with a secondary source simulating the spectral quality of incandescent lamplight, CIE illuminant A, with a color temperature of 2856 K (±200 K).

(FOR WHITE CLOTH ONLY)

(The color and appearance of the shade sample swatch shall match the standard sample when viewed using AATCC EP 9, Option C, with a primary light source simulating the spectral quality of average calendar days from the date of the receipt of samples at the Government laboratory to the date the completed test results are mailed to the contractor.

If this time frame is exceeded, the contract delivery schedule will be extended by the number of additional days needed to complete the testing, provided the contractor can establish that the delay in its delivery was caused by the Government exceeding the prescribed time. The foregoing provision for the extension of delivery schedules is exclusive and the Government shall not be liable to suit for breach of contract by reason of any delay of the Government in providing test results.

(Ref. t8342 – 4/08)

The Marine Corps supports transition to D65 shade evaluation. Request the following changes to visual shade matching for all United States Marine Corps current, pending, and future contracts as soon as contractually feasible, and make the same changes to the Specifications, Commercial Item Descriptions, or Purchase Descriptions.

Please add the following paragraph to subject PD section 3, make this new paragraph 3.3.2:

“The color and appearance of the [item] shall match (see [shade criticality paragraph #]) the standard sample when viewed using the AATCC EP 9, Option C, (see [EP9 Update paragraph]) with a primary light source simulating the spectral quality of average daylight, CIE illuminant D65, with a color temperature of 6500 (±200) Kelvin (K) illumination of 100 (±20) foot candles (see [Alternate paragraph #]). The [item] shall also be a good match to the standard sample with a secondary source simulating the spectral quality of incandescent lamplight, CIE Illuminant A, with a color temperature of 2856K (±200).”

Adjust other

[Alternate paragraph] Use of D75 light source. Alternatively, a primary light source simulating artificial daylight, CIE Illuminant D75, with color temperature of 7500K (+/-200) illumination of 100 (+/-20) foot candles may be used in lieu of D65. If D75 light source is used, that should be noted in the test report.

INSPECTION OF SUPPLIES SHALL BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH FAR PART 52.246-2 STANDARD INSPECTION.
