(2) Serve as the basis for inspection of the completed item(s).

(d) The Contractor agrees that he has obtained all specifications and drawings necessary to manufacture the items being solicited in accordance with the TDP including all incorporated specifications and drawings.

C.__ ACQUISITION OF MANUFACTURER'S PART NUMBER: COMPONENTS

One or more of the drawings for part of the contract item set forth in the Schedule and in the Technical Data Package specify manufacturer's part numbers. Since complete Government technical data for such part or parts are not available, it is understood that the Contractor, by accepting this contract, agrees to furnish only the listed manufacturer's part number(s) for those components of the contract item. It is further understood and agreed that references to manufacturer's part numbers herein shall be deemed to include all changes or revisions thereto which the approved manufacturer has made effective as of the first date of delivery of any of the items under this contract; provided, that no change or revision that affects the interchangeability (ability to be interchanged with previous parts and to match with all mating parts when assembled) of the listed manufacturer's part shall be incorporated into the contract item without the prior written approval of the Procuring Contracting Officer.

production for a period in excess of one year, or (iii) whenever a change occurs in place of performance, manufacturing process, material used, drawing, specification or source of supply.

(b) When any of the conditions above occurs, the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer so that a determination can be made concerning the need for the additional first article sample (or portion thereof), and instructions can be provided concerning the submission, inspection, and notification of results.

(c) Costs of any additional testing and inspection resulting from conditions specified above shall be borne by the Contractor, unless the change was directed by the Government. Further, any production delays caused by additional testing and inspection will not be the basis for an excusable delay as defined in the default clause of this contract. Such delays shall not form the basis for adjustment in contract price or delivery schedule.

E.__ DRAWINGS FOR INSPECTION

(a) When requested, the Contractor shall make available to the Government Inspector, the drawings, specifications and any applicable

Engineering Exceptions associated to the drawings, to which the product was manufactured. Upon completion of product inspection and acceptance by the Government Inspector, all drawings, specifications and Engineering Exceptions, will be returned to the Contractor.

E.__ FINAL INSPECTION RECORD (FIR)

(a) The Contractor shall prepare a Final Inspection Record (FIR) in his/her own format for each vehicle under the contract. The FIR should be organized so as to be compatible with assemblies, installation, and end item performance and acceptance. The FIR shall contain all examinations and tests that are performed on a single unit during its manufacture and final inspection. The FIR shall list each vehicle characteristic or function to be inspected from the vehicle specification. As a minimum, the FIR shall have blocks for the contractor's inspector's initials indicating that each characteristic or function was inspected and either accepted or rejected, and another block for reinspection and acceptance of any rejected characteristic or function. Final review and acceptability shall be indicated by a signature block containing the full name and title of the company official rendering approval. The FIR shall be updated to reflect all engineering and/or manufacturing changes that impact the FIR, during the entire contract period. The contractor shall submit the completed and certified copy of the FIR to the Government Inspector with each item inspected and offered for acceptance by the Government.

(b) Deficiencies disclosed during inspection by the contractor shall be described in writing and included as part of the FIR.

(c) If the contractor determines that the FIR is not appropriate for final inspection of the end item, for any reason, s/he must obtain written approval from the contracting officer prior to employing any other form for this purpose.

E.__ Drawings for Inspection Commercial Item

(a) When requested, the Contractor shall make available to the Government Inspector, the drawings and specifications to which the product was manufactured. Upon completion of product inspection and acceptance by the Government Inspector, all drawings and specifications will be returned to the Contractor.

(b) If the contractor is not the actual manufacturer of the item being procured (i.e. dealer, distributor, etc.) the contractor shall ensure that subcontractor drawings are available for review to support the Governments inspection requirements.

(c) The Government may rely on the contractors Certificate of Conformance, as outlined in FAR 52.246-15, that the commercial item tendered for acceptance conforms to the contract requirements. However, conditions may warrant that the contractor be required to make available to the Government drawings, specifications or other technical data such that the Government can determine if the commercial item meets the contract requirements. These conditions may include but not be limited to the following:

(i) Complex items or items which have quality characteristics, for which contractual conformance must be established through precise measurements and functional operation either as an individual item or in conjunction with other items.

(ii) Items used in critical applications or items denoted as critical on technical data.

(v) Contractor changes in technical requirements, technical data, and/or production processes which impacts the fit, form or function of the item.

E.____ FIT TEST

(a) A fit test of the item shall be performed by the contractor using an appropriate vehicle or Government approved buck. The contractor shall be responsible for locating and using a vehicle to perform the fit test, if available within a 250 mile radius of the facility where the contract quantity is being manufactured. The contractor may also use a Government-approved buck to perform the fit test at the manufacturing facility. The item shall be installed on the vehicle or approved buck to demonstrate/verify proper fit, form, and function. This fit test is a separate requirement imposed, in addition to examinations and/or tests specified by the drawings, specifications, Supplementary Quality Assurance Requirements, (SQAPs) or Quality Assurance Requirement's (QARs) for this contract. At least 20 calendar days before the scheduled fit test, the contractor shall notify the Administrating Contracting Officer, in writing, of the time and location of the test so that the Government may witness the test. A written approval issued by the ACO's Quality Assurance

Representative (QAR) shall serve as the Government's approval of the fit test.

(1) a vehicle is not available within the specified 250 mile radius, AND

(2) instructions/drawings for manufacture of the buck are NOT included in the Technical Data Package cited in the contract, the testing shall be performed by the Government. When Government testing is applicable, the Government shall designate where the test item shall be delivered.

(c) The approved test item shall serve as the manufacturing standard. It shall be delivered as part of the contractual quantity with the last scheduled shipment as provided in Section F of the contract. In the event the item fails the fit test, the contractor shall make all necessary adjustments/alterations and repeat the test and approval procedure (or deliver the corrected item to the Government for testing in accordance with Paragraph 2 above), at their own expense. The Government shall have the right to refuse to inspect and/or accept any contract quantity items offered for acceptance prior to Government approval of the fit test.
