A critical requirement mandates the submission of two first article units within 90 days of contract execution to Dayton T. Brown in Bohemia, NY, for government testing and approval. The government has 60 calendar days after receipt to issue written notification of conditional approval, approval, or disapproval, with the approved units to be retained by the contractor as a manufacturing standard until all production quantities are accepted, in accordance with Supplemental First Article Exhibit Disposition protocols. Once first article approval is granted, production lot testing begins, requiring the contractor to notify the Quality Assurance Representative at least 14 days in advance of lot presentation, from which two random samples are selected for destructive government testing. These samples must be shipped traceably to the same Dayton T. Brown address with specific labeling, full documentation including signed DD Forms 1222 and 250, test reports, certifications, and a prepaid return label, with all records also submitted electronically to the contracting officer. Packaging and marking must strictly comply with MIL-STD-2073-1E and MIL-STD-129, including precise use of Data Matrix barcodes, NSN, contract number, lot number, CAGE codes, and hazard communication labels per 29 CFR 1910.1200. Radioactive material above thresholds of 0.002 microcuries per gram or 0.01 microcuries per item requires advance written notification to the contracting officer. FOB Origin terms apply, with delivery required to DLA Distribution Jacksonville, FL, and acceptance authority rests entirely with the government. Invoicing must be processed exclusively through Wide Area WorkFlow, and the contractor must comply with DFARS FAR clauses regarding cybersecurity safeguards, whistleblower rights, disclosure of information, and prohibitions on covered telecommunications equipment. The contractor must also submit valid representations on size status, socioeconomic certifications including Small Business, HUBZone, or SDVOSB eligibility, and affirm compliance with NIST SP 800-171 for safeguarding controlled unclassified information through the Supplier Performance Risk System
