As prescribed in 46.504-91, insert the following clause:
CERTIFICATE OF CONFORMANCE (DESC) (MAR 2010) - DLAD
(a) When authorized in writing by the cognizant Contract Administration Office (CAO), the Contractor shall ship with a Certificate of Conformance any supplies for which the contract would otherwise require inspection at source. In no case shall the Government's right to inspect supplies under the inspection provisions of this contract be prejudiced. Shipments of such supplies will not be made under this contract until use of the Certificate of Conformance has been authorized in writing by the CAO, or inspection and acceptance have occurred.
(b) The Contractor's signed certificate shall be attached to or included on the top copy of the Material Inspection and Receiving Report (DD Form 250) or other authorized document that is distributed to the payment office (Block 12 of the DD Form 250). A copy shall also be sent with the shipment and to the CAO (Block 10 of the DD Form 250); however, the CAO copy shall only be sent if specifically requested by the Contracting Officer.
(c) The Government has the right to reject defective supplies or services within a reasonable time after delivery by written notification to the Contractor. The Contractor shall in such event promptly replace, correct, or repair the rejected supplies or services at the Contractor's expense.
(d) The certificate shall read as follows:
"I certify that on [Date] , [Contractor's name] furnished the supplies or services called for by [Contract No.] via [Carrier] on [Bill of Lading or other shipping document] in accordance with all applicable requirements. I further certify that the supplies or services are of the quality specified and conform in all respects with the contract requirements, including specifications, drawings, preservation, packaging, packing, marking requirements, and physical item identification (part number), and are in the quantity shown on this or on the attached acceptance document."
