3.1.3 The Contractor shall document each request with complete data substantiating compliance of proposed deviation with the Contract documents. Request for deviation shall not be submitted on a Request for Information (RFI) form.

3.1.4 A request constitutes a representation that the Contractor:

3.2 Deviation submittal procedures:

3.2.1 The Contractor shall mark the “Deviation” block on the Contract Item Acceptance Request (CIAR) form and provide the information stated in Paragraph 3.1.

3.2.2 The Contractor shall submit shop drawings, product data, and certified test results attesting to proposed product equivalence. Burden of proof is on the Contractor.

3.2.3 The Contracting Officer will then review the “deviation” request and either accept or reject the deviation.

4.1 Prompt re-submittal of items is required. The Contractor shall furnish a new Contract Item Acceptance Request numbered in accordance with the requirements of paragraph 2.1.

5. DEFECTIVE WORK: Acceptance of Submittals does not restrict the Government's right to reject departures from contract requirements, use of damaged or improperly installed items/materials, or latent defects, nor does it prejudice the Government's rights of rejecting any work found defective at Final Inspection and Acceptance.
