    (a)  Laboratory testing of items will be performed on samples of materials 
selected and submitted by a Government Quality Assurance Representative (QAR) 
in accordance with paragraph 5.2 or MIL-STD-1525 (USAF).  Such samples, along 
with a copy of vendor's test report(s) for the lot of material represented by 
the sample, shall be packed, marked and shipped by the Contractor to:

    (b)  The Contractor shall submit initial textile samples with a DD Form 1222 
within 90 calendar days from the date of this contract.

    (c)  Within 60 calendar days after the Government receives the textile 
sample, the Contracting Officer shall notify the Contractor, in writing, of the 
approval or disapproval of the textile samples.  The notice of approval shall 
not relieve the Contractor from complying with all requirements of the 
specifications and all other terms and conditions of this contract.  A notice 
of disapproval shall cite reasons for the disapproval.

    (d)  If the textile sample is disapproved, the Contractor, upon Government 
request, shall resubmit within the time period specified textile samples from
a different lot for testing.  Samples shall not be submitted from a failed lot 
without prior Government coordination and approval.  The Government shall take 
action on this report within the time specified in paragraph (c) above.  The 
Government reserves the right to require an equitable adjustment of the contract 
price for any extension of the delivery Schedule, or for any additional costs 
to the Government related to these tests.

    (e)  The Contractor shall provide samples to the Government or any 
subsequent textile testing to be conducted in a timely manner to meet 
contractual delivery dates.  If the Contractor fails to deliver any textile 
sample on time, or the Contracting Officer disapproves any textile sample, the 
Contractor shall be deemed to have failed to make delivery within the meaning 
of the Default clause of this contract.

    (f)  If the Government does not act within the time specified in paragraph 
(c), the Contracting Officer shall, upon timely written request from the 
Contractor equitably adjust under the changes clause of this contract the 
delivery or performance dates and/or the contract price, and any other 
contractual term affected by the delay.

    (g)  Before textile sample approval and First Article Test approval, the 
acquisition of materials or components for, or the commencement of production 
of, the balance of the contract quantity is at the sole risk of the Contractor.
Before textile sample approval and First Article Test approval, the costs 
thereof shall not be allocable to this contract for (1) progress payments, 
or (2) termination settlements if the contract is terminated for the 
convenience of the Government.
