6.3 First article. When first article inspection is required, the contracting officer should
provide specific guidance to offerors whether the item(s) should be a preproduction sample, a
first article sample, a first production item, a sample selected from the first production items, a
standard production item from the contractor's current inventory, and the number of items to be
tested as specified in 4.2. The contracting officer should also include specific instructions in
acquisition documents regarding arrangements for examinations, approval of first article test
results, and disposition of first articles (see 6.3.1). Invitations for bids should provide that the
Government reserves the right to waive the requirement for samples for first article inspection to
those bidders offering a product which has been previously acquired or tested by the
Government, and that bidders offering such products, who wish to rely on such production or
test, must furnish evidence with the bid that prior Government approval is presently appropriate
for the pending contract (see 6.3.3). Bidders should not submit alternate bids unless specifically
requested to do so in the solicitation.
6.3.1 First article test samples. First article samples are selected at random from materials

pressurized containers are not required when only quarts are purchased.) Samples will be

Warfare Center Aircraft Division for conducting first article inspection tests for this

Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division, AIR 4.3.4.1, 48066 Shaw Rd., Bldg 2188, Patuxent
