The contract requires the contractor to deliver two units of a specified lot/item for first article testing at a government facility within 90 calendar days. These units are subject to government testing to verify compliance and quality, with approval or disapproval communicated within 60 days of receipt. The first article units will be retained by the government for either destruction during testing or as manufacturing standards, and will not count toward the production quantity. Following first article approval, the contractor must conduct production lot testing (PLT) by providing samples for quality validation. The contractor is responsible for notifying government quality assurance representatives at least 14 days prior to sample presentation and shipping the PLT samples to the designated government facility with proper documentation and markings. The production lot testing involves random selection of three samples, or a sample size defined in the technical data package, to be inspected and tested by the government. The contractor must include all required documentation inside the shipment, such as test reports, certifications, and drawings, and ensure samples are shipped with labels and reports to allow traceability and return at no cost to the government. The contract specifies a total quantity of 823 units with a delivery period extending to 626 days after award. Fast Pay does not apply, and certifications or accreditations of current dealers or distributors must be disclosed. This contract is managed by the Department of Defense ASC Commodities Division with performance in San Diego and includes the handling of procurement standards in accordance with FAR clauses.
