(a) The approved first article items, as described elsewhere in this contract, consist of a quantity of zero (0) that will be consumed or destroyed in testing. Any items consumed or destroyed in testing shall not be delivered as part of the contractually required quantity as set forth in the schedule. The cost of any items that are consumed or destroyed shall be included in the overall offer or contract price. A quantity of two (2) that successfully passes all specified tests, less the destructive tests, if any, shall serve as a manufacturing standard for the remainder of the contract.

(b) A manufacturing standard is an item, which conforms to all technical performance requirements. A manufacturing standard will serve as 1) an aid in identifying configuration changes not controlled by the contractual design. 2) an aid in identifying any process changes, or 3) the approved workmanship sample, when required, unless alternate samples are submitted for specific characteristics by the Contractor and approved by the Government.

(c) The manufacturing standard will only be used to supplement contractual acceptance/rejection criteria for those process characteristics that require approved workmanship samples. For other characteristics, if configuration or process changes are identified in production units, the contractor will notify the contracting officer for disposition. Manufacturing items that serve as a manufacturing standard may be delivered as part of the contractual quantity with the last shipment made under this contract provided it meets all contractual requirements existing at time of delivery.

B. INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE (FIRST ARTICLE APPROVAL)

In addition to inspection requirements specified in applicable drawings and/or specifications, the following provisions shall apply to this contract:

(a) FIRST ARTICLE APPROVAL-CONTRACTOR TESTING: First Article Approval- Contractor Testing shall be performed in accordance with “E078-A510-EXThermal Shroud” and “MI 8400-OR_3” mailto:taylor.d.ferguson10.civ@army.mil

(b) The First Article Test Report (FATR) shall be compiled by the contractor to the contractor's own format. The FATR shall document the results of all inspections and tests (including supplier's and vendor's inspection records and certifications, when applicable). The FATR shall include actual inspections and test results to include all measurements, recorded test data, and certifications (if applicable) keyed to each drawing, specification and Quality Assurance Provision (QAP) requirement and identified by each individual QAP characteristic, drawing/specification characteristic and unlisted characteristic. The FATR shall contain sufficient narrative content, technical data, illustrations or photographic evidence, and an objective determination by the contractor to allow the designated Government representative to determine that the First Article Test was successfully completed.

C. NOTICE REGARDING FIRST ARTICLE

(a) Notwithstanding the provisions for waiver of first article, an additional first article sample (or portion thereof) may be ordered by the Contracting Officer in writing when (i) a major change is made to the technical data, (ii) whenever there is a lapse in production for a period in excess of one year, or (iii) whenever a change occurs in place of performance, manufacturing process, material used, drawing, specification or source of supply.

(b) When any of the conditions above occurs, the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer so that a determination can be made concerning the need for the additional first article sample (or portion thereof), and instructions can be provided concerning the submission, inspection, and notification of results.

(c) Costs of any additional testing and inspection resulting from conditions specified above shall be borne by the Contractor, unless the change was directed by the Government. Further, any production delays caused by additional testing and inspection will not be the basis for an excusable delay as defined in the default clause of this contract. Such delays shall not form the basis for adjustment in contract price or delivery schedule.

CAUTION: This solicitation will be issued electronically as will any amendments thereto.

Because of this, the Government is under no obligation and is, in fact, unable to maintain a mailing list.
