6.3 First article. When a 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, standard production item from the contractor's
current inventory (see 3.1) and the number of items to be tested as specified in 4.3. 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. Invitations for bids should provide that the Government

product which has been previously acquired or tested by the Government, and that bidders offering such products,

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