contractor's current inventory (see 3.1 and 4.2). The contracting officer should also include
specific instructions in acquisition documents regarding arrangements for submission of Material
Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) prior to contract award, testing, approval of first article test results,
and disposition of first articles. Invitations for bids should provide that the Government reserves
the right to waive requirements for first article inspection to those bidders offering a product,
which has been previously acquired or tested by the Government. Bidders offering such
products, that wish to rely on such production or test, must furnish evidence with the bid that the
prior Government approval is acceptable for the pending contract. Bidders should not submit
alternate bids unless specifically requested to do so in the solicitation.
6.3.1 Prior approval. If a contractor has previously delivered an acceptable product meeting
the requirements of this specification, waiver of the first article inspection requirement (see 4.2)
is at the discretion of the procuring activity for a period of time not to exceed 2 years (see 6.2).
6.3.2 First article sample. The first article sample should be produced using the same plant
facilities intended for the production run. Failure of the first article sample to meet all the
requirements of this specification is cause for rejection.
