FAT (if required) or production, for the delivery of NSIG(s).

(3) NSIG(s) will be forwarded to the Contractor for joint use by the Government and the Contractor. Government furnished NSIG(s) shall not be used by the Contractor(s) or subcontractor(s) as in-process or working gage(s).

(4) For production items that fail to be accepted by the applicable NSIG(s), an alternate inspection method may be submitted for approval.

(5) The Contractor may substitute Contractor designed and built AIE for the NSIG(s) noted in paragraph (o)(9) below. However, the designs require Government (Navy) approval and the contractor AIE hardware requires Government (Navy) certification. AIE designs shall be submitted in accordance with CDRL (see DD Form 1423).

(6) The Government (Navy) shall not be responsible for discrepancies or delays in production items resulting through misuse, damage or excessive wear to the NSIG(s).
