As prescribed in 46.302-90, insert the following clause:
GOVERNMENT INSPECTION (DRMS) (APR 2010)
(a) All services will be subject to inspection by the Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) and/or the PCO’s authorized representative(s). The Government has the right to inspect and obtain copies of all licenses, permits, and approvals issued by any Government entity or agency to the contractor or its subcontractors that are applicable to the performance of services under this contract. The Government has the right to inspect and test, at its own expense, operations conducted by the contractor or its subcontractors in the performance of this contract.
(b) The Government will be afforded free access to any facility used by the contractor and any subcontractors in performing services under this contract, including offices and facilities where contract-related records are retained. Government inspections of contractor and subcontractor facilities may be scheduled or unscheduled, i.e., announced or unannounced. The purpose of these inspections is to assist the Government in determining the conformance of services with contract requirements.
(c) The contractor is solely and exclusively responsible for the quality of all services performed under this contract. The Government’s right to conduct inspections at Government, contractor, or subcontractor facilities, does not relieve the contractor of this responsibility. Neither Government failure to make such inspection, nor failure to discover nonconforming services, shall prejudice the rights of the Government thereafter to reject services, nor relieve the contractor of its obligation to perform work strictly in accordance with the contract.
(d) The contractor, in its agreements with subcontractors, shall ensure that the inspection rights described herein are afforded the Government by each subcontractor performing services under this contract.
