Instruction & Example

1) It is the Government's intent to require First Article Test (FAT) for every DODIC. However, there are cartridges/components which are contained in more than one DODIC; it is NOT the Government's intent to require FAT redundantly on common cartridges/components.

2) Accordingly, once a FAT has been successfully completed for that cartridge/component, it is proposed that this inspection/test may be waived for future cartridges/components that fulfill the contract requirements for First Articles, e.g., 90 days, etc.

3) The FAT requirements for the 5.56mm family of cartridges are outlined in the Delivery Order Spreadsheets. A more detailed breakdown is provided in the tab entitled "REFERENCE"; however, should a discrepancy between the TDP and/or specifications and this Excel sheet exist, the TDP/Specification shall prevail.

4) As contained herein for each Delivery Order (DO) spreadsheet, the cells highlighted in ORANGE require offerors to price the associated test for the specified cartridge/component. Subsequently, if a different DODIC is put on order which has already completed a successful FAT with any of the same cartridge/components, another complete FAT will not be required (provided it fulfills the contract requirements for First Article, e.g., 90 days, etc.).

5) In the example below, DODIC AB76 is ordered first with a FAT price of $500. Provided FAT is successfully completed, it would allow the common cartridges/components on other DODICs to be waived. Accordingly, when A059 is subsequently ordered, as FAT has already been successfully completed for the M855 (common cartridge), it would be waived and thus excluded from the price; so the total FAT price for A059 of $100.
