The offerors request will not be considered if the worksheet and any supporting documentation is not submitted to the Government. The ___ worksheet must be completed in its entirety. For those sections of the worksheet which do not apply, annotate with N/A (not applicable).

To substantiate or clarify information provided by the offeror, the Government may request additional information

(3) The worksheet and any additional supporting documentation is part of your quote/offer and must be submitted as part of the response to this solicitation on Company letterhead and signed by an agent of the Company.

(4) The offeror may request a waiver for only a portion of the First Article Test, such as a vibration test or a salt water spray test, or the test on a component or subassembly of the procured item.

(5) The offeror shall list specifically on the worksheet, by technical data package reference, that portion of the test requested to be waived. The references shall include but may not be limited to the following as applicable:

(i) Identification of the specification or standard along with the specific specification or standard paragraph(s)

M-1 CHANGED 52.209-4006 EVALUATION FACTORS FOR FIRST ARTICLE TEST REQUIREMENT JUL/2000

(TACOM)

(a) If the offeror submits a request for waiver of First Article Testing but fails to comply with the requirements of the provision entitled PROVISION FOR WAIVER, the requested waiver may not be granted. If the waiver is not granted, more favorable alternative offers of price or delivery, conditioned upon the granting of a waiver, will not be considered in the evaluation process.

(b) DELIVERY EVALUATION FACTORS: ____________________________

(1) As specified in this solicitation, the Government reserves the right to waive the requirement entitled FIRST ARTICLE

APPROVAL, and will require an accelerated delivery schedule if the successful offeror is granted such a waiver. However, in no case will a delivery schedule predicated upon waiver of the First Article Test requirement be considered as an evaluation factor for award, even if such a schedule would be more advantageous to the Government.

(2) If an offeror requests waiver of First Article Testing but takes exception to the accelerated delivery schedule set forth in the Section F clause entitled DELIVERY SCHEDULE (52.242-4022, TACOM) herein, such offeror is not eligible for the requested waiver.

In consequence, any award to that offeror will reflect either (i) the Government-proposed delivery schedule shown in that same clause, or (ii) the contractor-proposed schedule in that clause, if the Goverment has accepted it.

(c) PRICE EVALUATION FACTORS: As specified in this solicitation, the Government reserves the right to waive the requirement in _________________________

Section I entitled FIRST ARTICLE APPROVAL, and requests the price of the proposed First Article Test (at Section B, Item 0001AB) from offerors who elect to seek such a waiver. In the event that the offeror requests and receives a waiver of First Article Test requirements, the price for such testing, as identified by the offeror in Section B, Item 0001AB, shall be deducted from the total price otherwise cited for the materiel herein solicited. The offer will then be evaluated for award at the resulting alternate price.

(1) If the offeror requests a waiver of First Article Test requirements, but fails to separately identify the cost of First

Article Testing in Section B, Item 0001AB of this solicitation, the Government reserves the right to evaluate the offer based upon the price for 0001AA and 0002AA, and to require that offeror perform on the contract at such price whether or not the First Article

Requirement is waived, at no additional cost to the Government.

(2) If the offeror requests but is not granted a waiver of First Article Testing, evaluation for award will be based upon the full amount entered for 0001AA and 0002AA: the amount entered for item 0001AB will not be deducted by the Government. ___
