Product demonstration models (PDMs) are required. Three Trousers of sample size, Medium-Regular, shall be submitted for manufacturing, visual, dimensional, and end-item testing.

End-Item physical testing shall be performed on two (2) Trousers IAW NCTRF/PD 04-11A dated 17 August 2012:

- Hydrostatic resistance (before and after 5 laundering)

- Laundering

- Tape ends integrity (before and after 5 laundering)

- Physical surface appearance (before and after 5 laundering)

Due to the technical complexity in the construction of this item, it is strongly urged that alternate cloth and components not be used. If alternates are used, must be presented with documentation at time of offer. However, the use of alternate materials may result in receiving a lower rating at time of evaluation. Two PDMs will be used for physical testing and will be destroyed in testing.

Justification: The only way that technical personnel can determine if offeror can meet the requirements as specified, is to test the PDMs made of specific cloth and components.

First Article is Not required.

In the event that PDM's are not required First Article will take place. First Article shall be three Trousers submitted for manufacturing, visual, dimensional, and end-item physical testing requirements IAW NCTRF/PD 04-11 dated 17 August 2012.

End-Item physical testing shall be performed on two (2) Trousers IAW NCTRF/PD 04-11A dated 17 August 2012:

- Hydrostatic resistance (before and after 5 laundering)

- Laundering

- Tape ends integrity (before and after 5 laundering)

- Physical surface appearance (before and after 5 laundering)

Any failure shall be cause for rejection of the First article.

First Article will take place at DLA Troop Support.

If technical operation deems it necessary, DLA Troop Support will participate in first lot inspection. Should this occur, a ten day prior notice is required.

Shade evaluation. The color and appearance of the [item] 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 illuminant D65, with a color temperature of 6500 (±200) Kelvin (K) illumination of 100 (±20) foot candles. 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). The light source shall be noted on the test report.
