article, an additional first article sample or portion thereof, may be ordered by the Contracting Officer in writing when (i) a major change is made to the technical data, (ii) whenever there is a lapse in production for a period in excess of 90 days, or (iii) whenever a change occurs in place of performance, manufacturing process, material used, drawing, specification or source of supply. When conditions (i), (ii), or (iii) 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 provided concerning the submission, inspection, and notification of results. Costs of the additional first article testing resulting from any of the causes listed herein that were instituted by the contractor and not due to changes directed by the Government shall be borne by the Contractor.

E.4 PERFORMANCE VERIFICATION TESTING (CONTRACTOR FACILITY)

E.4.1 Subsequent to completion of both contractor and Government inspection/verification actions, a test sample consisting of 3 each

(EA) from 3 EA shall be selected by the Government Quality Assurance Representative (QAR) for 3 EA testing.

E.4.1.2 The test shall be conducted at the contractor's facility. A copy of the contractor's inspection/test results shall be provided with the test sample. The contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer in writing at least 15 calendar days prior to initiation of the (each) test. The contractor shall also provide a copy of such notification to Contract Specialist and to the QAR.

E.4.1.3 The test sample shall be examined and/or tested in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 52.209-3.

E.4.1.4 Within 30 calendar days after completion of the test, the Contracting Officer (or designated representative) shall provide notification to the Contractor as to the approval, disapproval, or conditional approval of the performance verification test. Unless authorized by the Contracting Officer, the lot from which the test sample was taken shall not be shipped from the Contractor's facility, nor shall final acceptance of the lot be made, until such time as notification has been provided by the Contracting Officer that the

Performance Verification Test samples have been approved/conditionally approved.

E.4.1.5 If the Contracting Officer does not provide notification of the approval, conditional approval, or disapproval of the performance Verification Test sample within the time specified above, the Contracting Officer shall, if applicable, equitably adjust the delivery/performance dates and/or contract price (and any other contractual provision affected by such delay) in accordance with the procedures provided in the Changes clause of this contract.

E.4.1.6 If any test sample fails to meet any applicable contractual requirement, the lot or batch from which the test sample was drawn shall be considered to be rejected. The contractor shall take immediate corrective action, both to correct the deficiency/nonconformance and to prevent recurrence of the deficiency/nonconformance. Such corrective action shall be taken by the contractor at no increase in contract price. Such corrective action shall apply to all items (to include basic issue items and/or repair parts) either in-process of final assembly, which have been produced or are in production since the last successful Performance Verification Test. In addition, the provisions of any warranty clause contained in the contract shall apply. Upon completion of the corrective action, the contractor shall resubmit a sample for Performance Verification testing. Any and all costs associated with testing the additional Performance

Verification Test sample shall be borne by the contractor. The Contracting Officer shall equitably adjust the contract price as applicable for the costs associated with the additional testing resulting from failure of the test sample to meet the applicable contractual requirements.

E.4.1.7 If the contractor fails to deliver any Performance Verification test sample within the time specified, or if the test sample is disapproved and an acceptable replacement is not provided within the time specified, the contractor shall be deemed to have failed to make delivery within the meaning of the Default clause of this contract.

E.4.1.8 Unless otherwise specified, the initial production/confirmatory test units shall be considered to be destructively tested. At the Contracting Officer's discretion, the initial production/confirmatory test units, and any unused repair parts, may be returned to the contractor for refurbishing, and may subsequently be shipped as deliverable items under the terms of the contract. Any refurbished test units shall meet all contract requirements; inspection and acceptance of any refurbished test units shall be conducted in accordance with contract requirements. Any costs to refurbish the test units shall be subject to negotiation between the contracting

Officer and the contractor.

E.5 NOTICE REGARDING FIRST ARTICLE TEST SAMPLE

E.5.1 The approved first article items, as described elsewhere in this contract, consist of a quantity of 3 that will be consumed or destroyed in testing. Any items consumed or destroyed in testing shall not be delivered as part of the contractually required quantity

14 61

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

as set forth in the schedule. The cost of any items that are consumed or destroyed shall be included in the overall offer or contract price. A quantity of 3 that successfully passes all specified tests, less the destructive tests, if any, 3 serve as a manufacturing standard for the remainder of the contract.

E.5.1.2 A manufacturing standard is an item, which conforms to all technical performance requirements. A manufacturing standard will serve as 1) an aid in identifying configuration changes not controlled by the contractual design. 2) an aid in identifying any process changes, or 3) the approved workmanship sample, when required, unless alternate samples are submitted for specific characteristics by the Contractor and approved by the Government.

E.5.1.3 The manufacturing standard will only be used to supplement contractual acceptance/rejection criteria for those process characteristics that require approved workmanship samples. For other characteristics, if configuration or process changes are identified in production units, the contractor will notify the contracting officer for disposition. Manufacturing items that serve as a manufacturing standard may be delivered as part of the contractual quantity with the last shipment made under this contract provided it meets all contractual requirements existing at time of delivery.

of each quantity within the applicable delivery period specified above. Offers that propose delivery that will not clearly fall within the applicable required delivery period specified above, will be considered nonresponsive and rejected. The Government reserves the right to award under either the required delivery schedule or the proposed delivery schedule, when an offeror offers an earlier delivery schedule than required above. If the offeror proposes no other delivery schedule, the required delivery schedule above will apply.

CONTRACT

(b) Attention is directed to the Contract Award provision of the solicitation that provides that a written award or acceptance of offer mailed, or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror, results in a binding contract. The Government will mail or otherwise furnish to the offeror an award or notice of award not later than the day award is dated. Therefore, the offeror should compute the time available for performance beginning with the actual date of award, rather than the date the written notice of award is received from the

Contracting Officer through the ordinary mails. However, the Government will evaluate an offer that proposes delivery based on the

Contractor's date of receipt of the contract or notice of award by adding

(1) five calendar days for delivery of the award through the ordinary mails, or

(2) one working day if the solicitation states that the contract or notice of award will be transmitted electronically. (The term

"working day" excludes weekends and U.S. Federal holidays.) If, as so computed, the offered delivery date is later than the required delivery date, the offer will be considered nonresponsive and rejected.
