WAIVER - FIRST ARTICLE TEST - SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITIONS
(SEP 2008) - DLAD
(a) The technical specifications for this item indicate that first article testing is required. However, in view of the small dollars involved in this acquisition and the increase in delivery time and considerable cost to the Government required to perform and/or process first article testing, this procurement shall be limited to consideration of offers for items produced by the sources identified below (except as specified in paragraph (b)), which are currently eligible for waiver of first article testing requirements. If the successful awardee offered an item produced by one of the sources identified below, the item supplied shall be of the same design and manufactured by the same method at the same facilities as the item previously approved.
[Contracting Officer shall insert name(s) and CAGE Code(s) of sources
currently approved for waiver].
(b) At the Government’s discretion, offers for items produced by sources other than those identified above may be considered for award, if supporting documentation is provided with the offer in accordance with 52.209-9019. [Offeror shall insert the required information in the space provided in 52.209-9019, attach documentation to quote, or provide documentation under separate cover to Contracting Officer].
