Government further makes no representation that the material meets the specifications and requirements of the contract. Therefore it is incumbent upon the contractor to inspect the material and assure compliance with contract requirements prior to use. If any discrepancies are noted, the contractor shall notify the PCO. Should there be any quantity of CH-6 unused or remaining upon completion of the contract, the contractor shall be responsible for demilitarization (demil) and disposal of any such remaining quantity at no additional cost to the Government. The demil of any such remaining quantity shall be accomplished in accordance with any procedures or requirements set forth or incorporated into the contract. The contractor will report at closeout of the contract the total amount used, and shall provide a certification that the remaining amount has been demilitarized. The contractor agrees to hold harmless and indemnify the Government, except in a case of willful misconduct or gross negligence, from any claim for damages or injury, including wrongful death claims, to any person or property arising out of the furnishing of the CH-6.

8. DISPOSAL OF REMAINING GFM AMMUNITION AND EXPLOSIVES FOLLOWING CONTRACT COMPLETION OR TERMINATION: The following requirements apply to Government-Furnished Material (GFM) Ammunition and Explosives (A&E). All A&E are potentially hazardous and tend toward less stability with the passage of time. In particular, A&E containing nitrocellulose based components (such as propellants) or nitrate ester-based components (such as nitroglycerine) loses stability with time.

(a) Within 30 days of completion or termination of the contract, the contractor shall request disposition instructions from the contracting officer for any residual GFM A&E, regardless of condition. The condition of all such GFM A&E, identified by contract number, and NSN or part number, will be indicated in the request.
