sample selected from production items, a standard production item from the contactor s current inventory (see 3.1),
and the number of items to be tested as specified in 4.2. The contracting officer should also include specific
instructions in acquisition documents regarding arrangements for examinations, approval of first article test results,
and disposition of first articles. Invitations for bids should provide that the Government reserves the right to waive
the requirement for samples for first article inspection to those bidders offering a product which has been previously
acquired or tested by the Government, and that bidders offering such products, who wish to rely on such production
or test, must furnish evidence with the bid that prior Government approval is presently appropriate for the pending
contract. Bidders should not submit alternate bids unless specifically requested to do so in the solicitation.
6.4 Sub-contracted material and parts. The packaging requirements of referenced documents listed in section 2
do not apply when material and parts are acquired by the contractor for incorporation into the equipment and lose
their separate identity when the equipment is shipped.
6.5 Certification data/report. Vulcanized samples for conformance inspection [see table X, note 2b] should be
accompanied by a written certification from the manufacturer that the samples have the same compositions as the
friction and filler, respectively, used in the hose and have equivalent cures.
