SHADE EVALUATION OF CONTRACTOR FURNISHED MATERIALS:

Government Acceptance Testing. Unless otherwise stated in the contract, testing performed at the DLA PTC for acceptance purposes will be completed in forty-five (45) calendar days. The contract delivery requirements are based on the assumption that DLA Troop Support and the DLA PTC will require a total of 45 calendar days from the date of the receipt of samples at the Government laboratory to the date the completed test results are mailed to the contractor. If this time frame is exceeded, the contract delivery schedule will be extended by the number of additional days needed to complete the testing, provided the contractor can establish that the delay in its delivery was caused by the Government exceeding the prescribed time. The foregoing provision for the extension of delivery schedules is exclusive and the Government shall not be liable to suit for breach of contract by reason of any delay of the Government in providing test results.

Shade Evaluation.

Shade Evaluation is Acceptance Testing; each lot must be submitted for evaluation. Lots shall not be shipped until shade is approved by Government. The prime contractor will require the fabric or component supplier to present to the source QAS the complete lot prepared for shipment, a set of tally sheets by shipment listing case numbers, roll numbers, and yardage of each roll and a shade swatch (header) from each roll with roll and case numbers identified on each swatch.

The following sampling procedure will be followed unless otherwise specified.

- SHADE SAMPLING IS APPLICABLE

- The color of the test specimen shall match the standard sample viewed using AATCC Evaluation Procedure 9, Option A, with sources simulating artificial daylight D75 illuminant with a color temperature of 7500 (+/- 200)°K, with illumination of 100 (+/- 20) foot candles, and shall be a good match to the standard sample under incandescent lamplight at 2856 (+/- 200)°K.

- FOR SHADE TESTING: THE COMPLETED DD FORM 1222 AND THE

SWATCHES SHALL BE FORWARDED TO:

DLA Product Testing Center Analytical 700 Robbins Avenue Philadelphia, PA 19111 ATTN: BLDG 5D Shade Room EMAIL: paactlab@dla.mil

SHADE EVALUATION OF CONTRACTOR FURNISHED COMPONENTS

Contracts awarded under this solicitation shall require shade evaluation of Contractor furnished components in accordance with the following provisions:

(a) Swatches shall be cut by the Contractor from those pieces or rolls selected by the Government representative. For yard goods, the dimensions of each swatch shall be 4" x 12" while for narrow loom material each swatch shall be a full width and 12" in length. The number of pieces or rolls to be sampled shall be in accordance with the following table:

Lot Size Pieces to be sampled 1 to 8 pieces Each piece 9 to 25 pieces 8 pieces 26 to 90 pieces 20 pieces 91 to 160 pieces 32 pieces over 160 pieces 1 of 5 pieces

(b) The swatches shall be submitted to the Government laboratory for shade evaluation. If any swatches are rejected, the end items made from the rejected component lot shall also be rejected. In these instances, the Contractor shall without cost to the Government, cut additional shade swatches from each remaining piece or roll in the rejected sample lot which was not previously sampled and submit these swatches to the Government for shade evaluation.

(c) Swatches submitted in accordance with (a) and (b) above, shall also be evaluated for uniformity of shade when so specified in section 3 of the fabric specification and when the standard sample is referenced for uniformity of shade.

Notification. The vendor shall notify the DLA-PTC representative via email between fourteen (14) calendar days and thirty (30) days from when lots are to be presented to the QAS. This allows arrangements to be made if the lab specialist requests to witness testing at the place of performance. The DLA-PTC will reply in writing by the date of lot presentation, whether witnessing, or side-by-samples, are requested. If no reply is received by the date of presentation to the QAS, the contractor may proceed.

Notifications should include:

Commercial lab contact information Government lot # Contract Product Specification Date of lot presentation to the QAS Certified Test Reports. Test reports shall be signed and certified by the testing facility, accompanied with a DD Form 1222 and emailed to the

Government for evaluation to the following address:

paactlab@dla.mil.

The test report presented to the Government shall be not older than ninety (90) calendar days. A separate report shall be provided from each test facility when a single lot of material, components, or end items is tested by more than one test facility for different characteristics.
