2. Reference to a manufacturer's model number or item number is intended to be descriptive and not restrictive. The referenced items represent the required sizes, configuration, materials, finish, quality, and workmanship. Alternate proposals for items that are believed equal or a better value to the government are welcome.

3. For any item, vendors may propose equivalent commercial items. For each alternate or substitute item, the vendor's proposal must include a detailed description and catalog cuts, including renderings or photographs. Additional detail, drawings, or even a sample, may be required to obtain approval if the catalog and description does not adequately describe the item.

4.2.1 Inspection may be accomplished at any work location involved and authorized government representatives shall be permitted to observe the work or to conduct inspection at all reasonable hours. Inspection or test by the Government of any services rendered or supplies furnished hereunder does not relieve the Contractor from any responsibility regarding defects or other failures to meet contract requirements which may be discovered prior to final acceptance by the Government, or latent defects.

4.2.2 Manufacturer Inspection: Vendors may rely on the material certifications from the manufacturer provided that traceable documentation is available, and that the manufacturer is in compliance with a documented quality management system which has been accepted under a DCMA audit or an ISO 9001:2008 (or later) system certified by a third party accredited by ANAB. The vendor is not required to have copies of all inspection records on hand, but inspection records shall be available on request from the government. If documentation is not otherwise available, the vendor is responsible to comply with all testing and inspection called for by references which are cited by the contract SOW or line item. Inspection records shall be retained and made available for review on request through at least one (1) year past the end of the last delivery on the contract.

4.2.3 Inspection for delivery under this solicitation and resultant contract: Inspection for delivery must include a lot-based sample to be visually and dimensionally inspected. Inspection will include examination for attributes addressed in MIL-PRF-32038. Materials delivered under this solicitation and resultant contract are Habitability material for which aesthetics are part of the acceptance criteria.

Sharp edges or burrs are not acceptable. Inspection may include consideration of the attributes of Table V Classification of Defects of MIL-F-902 (Historical). Use the acceptance criteria of paragraph

4.3 and Tables III and IV of MIL-F-902 (Historical) or the following alternative written in paragraph:

4.2.4 Lot Size Definition & Alternative Sample Size: In lieu of other sampling size and sampling criteria, the vendor may elect to consider each Find Number submitted for delivery at one time as its’ own lot and use the following Table: Sample Size to determine the required sample size for each lot.

If any samples are found to be defective, the defective items are rejected and every item in the lot must be individually inspected. This sampling scheme may be applied to all materials under this solicitation and resultant contract. Smaller sample size and cursory inspection may be applied to mass produced items such as Hat and Coat Hook FN 413 ARR based on a documented QMS and email approval from the TPOC.

Table: Sample Size Lot Size Sample Size 1 – 3 All 4 – 8 3 at Random 9 – 25 5 at Random 26 – 40 7 at Random > 40 10 at Random

Packaging must be suitable for stacking during transit. The vendor is responsible to correct any damage due to inadequate packaging. If it arrives damaged, it was inadequately packaged, except for cases where a sturdy shipping container has been clearly abused and damaged. Package each Line Item so that it can be staged with just that Find Number. When a crate is opened, each Find Number must be packed, packaged, and marked, such that it is protected and can be staged and handled by Find Number.

5.1.3 Bulk packaging is not permissible under this solicitation.

5.1.4 Palletize each shipment larger than 70 pounds or 12 cubic feet for handling with a fork lift.

5.1.5 Provide with the shipment a packing list identifying the contents of each shipment. DD Form 250 "Material Inspection and Receiving Report" may be used as the packing list provided that it contains all of the information required below and that it applies to the specific shipment.

NAVAL SUPPLY Weapon Systems Support (NAVSUP WSS Transportation) Shipment Request Procedures

I. INTRODUCTION

For this FOB Origin procurement, the Government will arrange for transportation and pay all associated transportation costs through the NAVSUP WSS Shipment Processing (SP) office (aka NAVSUP GLS, NAVSUP LOC or NOLSC). NAVSUP WSS will process shipments of materials from within the United States to CONUS (Continental United States)/OCONUS (Outside Continental United States) consignees with delivery terms Free On-Board (FOB) Origin.

Contractors/vendors shall complete the Naval Supply Systems Command automated Ready-to-Ship (RTS) web form by accessing the link provided below in Section II. By completing the form on line, the NAVSUP WSS at Norfolk, VA will receive an email of the shipment request immediately and will act on it as soon as possible during their normal working hours of 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM Eastern Time Monday through Friday. In response, NAVSUP WSS will provide MANDATORY USE shipping labels to the contractor/vendor. The contractor/vendor will arrange for shipment with the NAVSUP WSS designated carrier IMMEDIATELY upon receipt of the shipping labels. If the NAVSUP WSS provided shipping labels are not used, the contractor/vendor will experience delays and additional work to reconcile the transportation payment under the NAVSUP WSS tracking number and possible additional costs not covered under the contract or NAVSUP WSS Transportation. If the contractor/vendor turns an ordered vehicle away and a vehicle furnished not used charge is incurred the contractor/vendor is responsible for payment. If the contractor/vendor detains the vehicle and incurs a detention charge the contractor/vendor is responsible for payment.

International small parcel shipment documents are invalid after five business days. If the vendor incurs any extra costs with the carrier outside of the CBL/GBL it is the vendors responsibility for payment. NAVSUP WSS does not accept hazardous or explosive shipments.
