PRE-PRODUCTION SAMPLE TO GOVERNMENT REQUIRED AFTER AWARD AND PRIOR TO

PRODUCTION.

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 and appearance of the shade sample swatch 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 illuminate D65, with a color temperature of 6500 K (±200 K) illumination of 100 (±20) foot candles. The shade sample swatch shall also be an approximate match to the standard sample with a secondary source simulating the spectral quality of incandescent lamplight, CIE illuminant A, with a color temperature of 2856 K (±200 K).

FOR SHADE TESTING: THE COMPLETED HARDCOPY DD FORM 1222 AND THE SWATCHES SHALL

BE FORWARDED TO:

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

PHONE: 215-737-6121

SHADE EVALUATION OF CONTRACTOR FURNISHED COMPONENTS

Contracts awarded under this solicitation shall require shade evaluation of Contractor furnished components in accordance with DLA Troop Support Clothing & Textiles Additional Quality Assurance Requirement(Revision1 dated: August 2021) mailto:paactlab@dla.mil mailto:paactlab@dla.mil

Identification of Testing Sites. Unless the contract mandates a Government laboratory be used to conduct testing, the prime contractor shall identify all testing sites that will perform any test required by the terms of the contract, including end item testing.

Any laboratory proposed by the contractor is subject to the approval of the contracting officer.

Testing facilities shall be subject to on-site witnessing of testing by the Government. The use of a laboratory previously approved by the Government is not a guarantee that testing will be performed properly, nor does it relieve a contractor from the contractual obligation to present conforming supplies accompanied by true, accurate, and valid test results.

Certification of Testing Sites. The prime contractor shall identify a technical point of contact for the testing site and provide current contact information. The prime contractor should alert the technical point of contact that the certification process has begun. A current ISO 17025 accreditation whose scope encompasses the contractual testing or equivalent will be accepted.

When a testing site and its contact information are provided to DLA Contracting and the DLA Product Specialist, the product specialist will initiate a request for the DLA Product Test Center (DLA-PTC) to certify the lab. This request will be managed via an internal DLA Troop Support process.

In the absence of an appropriate ISO 17025 accreditation, the DLA-PTC will compare all required testing in the contract to the commercial lab capability. If the testing facility is new and/or unknown to the DLA-PTC, a lab certification survey (DLA Form 6005) will be provided for submission.

If the DLA-PTC has a lab survey on file that is less than 3 years old, that survey will be used for the initial evaluation. The DLA-PTC may ask for additional information or clarifications. If the laboratory survey on file is over 3 years old, a new form will be sent out for the testing facility to fill out. During a contract, the laboratory may be asked to fill out another lab survey when the original survey becomes older than 3 years.

Note: The Qualified Laboratories List (QLL) previously maintained by DPSC has been canceled.

No testing facility should refer to their previously issued QLL number.

Approval. If the testing facility and its named subcontractors meet the capability of the required testing, the DLA-PTC will notify the DLA Troop Support Product Specialist. Once approved by contracting, the testing facility becomes the Place of Performance and is placed in the contract.

Disapproval. If a testing facility does not meet the testing capability as per the specifications, the prime contractor is asked to submit another laboratory, and the process starts anew.

Note: DLA will require a total of 45 calendar days from the date of the receipt of the request to add a certified testing location to the date the requestor (contractor) is provided a decision of the laboratory certification.

Identification of Testing Sites. Unless the contract mandates a Government laboratory be used to conduct testing, the prime contractor shall identify all testing sites that will perform any test required by the terms of the contract, including end item testing.

The prime contractor shall identify a technical point of contact for the testing site and provide current contact information to DLA Contracting and the DLA Product Specialist. The prime contractor should alert the technical point of contact that the certification process has begun.

Note: DLA will require a total of 45 calendar days from the date of receipt of the request to add a certified testing location to the date the requestor (contractor) is provided a decision of the laboratory certification.

For more details on the lab certification process, see the C&T Additional Quality Assurance Requirements, which is incorporated by reference into this contract.

Marking shall be in accordance with MIL-STD-129 and Change Notice 3.

PRES/PACK TO ASTM D-3951.
