C.4 DRAWING LIMITATIONS

C.4.1 The drawings supplied with this contract are not shop or process drawings. The drawings are engineering design drawings, are adequate to permit manufacture, and:

C.4.1.1 depict the completed (item(s), and

C.4.1.2 serve as the basis for inspection of the completed item(s).

C.4.2 These drawings DO NOT cover intermediate drawings/specifications or steps in the manufacturing process. As a result, even if all the dimensions and tolerances specified in the engineering design drawing for each individual part are met, a cumulative unacceptable fit for the contract item could result.

C.4.3 The Contractor is responsible for producing the shop or process drawings needed to cover intermediate steps in the manufacturing process.

C.4.4 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.

Delivery delays are not excusable where the contractor asserts that it did not have a specification or drawing and has failed to request, in writing, the specification from either the Contracting Officer or Contract Specialist prior to the solicitation closing date.

C.4.5 Failure to produce an end item with a cumulative fit that conforms to Government drawings, specifications or other supplemental manufacturing documentation, will result in the Contractor being responsible for correcting this condition at no additional cost to the

Government and no delivery schedule extension
