. Identification of Testing Sites. Unless the contract mandates a Government laboratory be used to conduct testing, the prime contractor shall identify all testing sites that will perform any test required by the terms of the contract, including end item testing.
Any laboratory proposed by the contractor is subject to the approval of the contracting officer. Testing facilities shall be subject to on-site witnessing of testing by the Government. The use of a laboratory previously approved by the Government is not a guarantee that testing will be performed properly, nor does it relieve a contractor from the contractual obligation to present conforming supplies accompanied by true, accurate, and valid test results.
Certification of Testing Sites. The prime contractor shall identify a technical point of contact for the testing site and provide current contact information. The prime contractor should alert the technical point of contact that the certification process has begun. A current ISO 17025 accreditation whose scope encompasses the contractual testing or equivalent will be accepted. When a testing site and its contact information are provided to DLA Contracting and the DLA Product Specialist, the product specialist will initiate a request for the DLA Product Test Center (DLA-PTC) to certify the lab. This request will be managed via an internal DLA Troop Support process.
In the absence of an appropriate ISO 17025 accreditation, the DLA-PTC will compare all required testing in the contract to the commercial lab capability. If the testing facility is new and/or unknown to the DLA-PTC, a lab certification survey (DLA Form 6005) will be provided for submission.
If the DLA-PTC has a lab survey on file that is less than 3 years old, that survey will be used for the initial NSN/Part Number: 8315-00-163-1545 Quantity: 80 PG Purchase Request: 7016074214QTY: 160 Delivery: 83 days ADO
