2. QUALITY ASSURANCE
2.1 Contractor certification. The contractor shall certify and maintain substantiating evidence that the product offered meets the salient characteristics and requirements of this commercial item description, and that the product conforms to the producer’s own drawings, specifications, standards, and quality assurance practices. The Government reserves the right to require proof of such conformance prior to first delivery and thereafter as may be otherwise provided for under the provisions of the contracts.
2.2 Metric products. Products manufactured to metric dimensions will be considered on an equal basis with those manufactured using inch-pound units, providing they fall within the tolerance specified using conversion tables contained in the latest revision of Federal Standard 376, and all other requirements of this document are met. If a product is manufactured to metric dimensions and those dimensions exceed the tolerances specified in the inch/pound units, a request should be made to the contracting officer to determine if the product is acceptable. The contracting officer has the option of accepting or rejecting the product.
2.3 Regulatory requirements. The offeror/contractor is encouraged to use recovered materials in accordance with Public Law 94-580 to the maximum extent possible.
2.4 Drop resistance test. Fill the sandbags with 44 pounds ± 1/2 pound (approximately 760 cubic inches) of clean, dry sand and knot the tie string firmly about the choke. Adjust the contents of the bag to form a shape about 4 inches by 10 inches by 20 inches before each drop. Drop the bag (free fall) from a height of 48 inches on one face, on one side seam or the folded area where a seam would normally located on a tubular bag, and on the butt onto a hand, unyielding surface such as stone or concrete of sufficient mass to absorb the shock without deflection. Every fourth sandbag tested shall be dropped (free fall) on the tied (choke) end in lieu of the butt drop. After each drop, the sandbag shall be examined for visible evidence of damage such as tears, punctures, broken yarns or thread, or exposure of the contents by any means other than sifting. Slight slippage or yawning in the seams shall not be considered damage. Visible evidence of damage shall constitute failure of this test.
