6.3 First article. When a first article inspection is required, the contracting officer should provide
specific guidance to offerors that the items should be a first article sample. The first article should consist
of five metal parts assemblies, nine sets of unassembled parts, one set of unassembled parts without
plating or final protective finish, and fifty shear pins. The contracting officer should also include specific
instructions in acquisition documents regarding arrangements for examination, approval of first article test
results, and disposition of first articles. 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

Government approval is presently appropriate for the pending contract. Bidders should not submit
alternate bids unless specifically requested to do so in the solicitation.
