PRE-PRODUCTION SAMPLE EVALUATIONS

Production Demonstration Models (PDMs) are not required for this acquisition;

However, pre- production samples of the below item may be required after award. Note that the pre-production samples will be evaluated using the patterns and specifications provided in this solicitation. All previous versions and variations of patterns and specifications for this item are irrelevant.

It is preferred that the materials used to manufacture the Pre-Production Samples be in accordance with any specifications defined in this solicitation. However, if the offeror uses alternate materials to manufacture the Pre-Production Samples a letter must be supplied with them stating (i) which materials depart from the end item specification and

(ii) that, although the materials used in producing the Pre-Production Samples differ from those specified, the materials required by the specification will be utilized under any resultant contract.

Note: The use of alternate materials will not affect the rating of the Pre-Production Samples, either favorably or negatively when the use of the alternate materials is identified in accordance with the requirements of this section. However, the Government reserves the right to give a negative rating to (a) Pre-Production Samples that is (are) made with materials that depart from the end item specification and the use of those alternate materials was not identified in accordance with the requirements of this section.

Accordingly, to preclude a negative assessment of a Pre-Production Samples that is comprised of materials that are not in accordance with the specification(s), it is in the offeror's best interest to identify any and all alternate materials that have been used.

“3.3.2. Contractor Furnished Material (CFM). DLA Troop Support Clothing and Textiles contracts require source sampling of CFM at finishing plants. The following provisions apply to sample selection and lot acceptance.

(a) The samples shall be randomly selected by the Supplier’s Source Sampling Representative.

(b) Upon presentation of a lot, the Supplier’s Source Sampling Representative will draw samples and forward the samples to the contractor’s laboratory specified in the contract for testing.

(c) Shipment of Component Lots from the source to the prime contractor need not be deferred except for Government Acceptance Testing (i.e., shade evaluation). Commencement of production prior to receipt of a passing test report from the contractor’s authorized laboratory is solely at the contractor’s risk.

(d) The contractor will provide copies of Certificates of Compliance to the QAS.

(e) The contractor is required to ensure that a complete test report for all lots is furnished to the source’s QAS and the appropriate DLA-PTC representative.”

Pages 24, 25, 36 add to block 16: “By signing in box 15, I certify that the samples referenced above were randomly selected and represent the lot identified above.

**Special note: Contractors shall ensure that blocks 2 and 15 of the form DD1222 are updated to reflect the correct information. Historically, both blocks contained the information of the DCMA QAR and their stamp/signature. When contractor’s representative samples, these blocks shall include the contractor’s representative’s information. Block 17 shall still include the DCMA QAR to receive the results of the report even though they may not be sampling the material to be tested.

[End of interim changes.]

This modification will eliminate the requirement for DCMA to go to mills solely to pull swatches for routine Source Sampling (for Shade, Physical Testing, or nIR testing).

This places the responsibility for routine sampling of swatches on the fabric suppliers. This change will allow DCMA to continue to administer C&T Contracts with Delivery Order values above the $300,000 threshold, even if the contracts contain Shade or other Source Sampling requirements.

The Prime Contractors will still have the ultimate responsibility for conformance to Shade and other requirements in the end items they produce and furnish under DLA contracts.

4/ The test specimens shall be subjected to five washing and drying cycles before the shrinkage and/or elongation values are calculated.

5/ The cloth shall be measured for opacity. Opacity, or hiding power, as defined by AATCC Evaluation Procedure 6 involves measuring the test specimen backed by both a black tile background (less than 5%) and a white tile background (greater than 75 %, less than 85 %) substrate. Normally calibration tiles provided with the measurement equipment are sufficient.

Opacity percent is then calculated from the #Y# value of the measurement-over-black (Y/b) background divided by the #Y# value of the measurement-over-white (Y/w) background using D65/10 default, therefore (Y/b divided by Y/w) x 100=% opacity.
