6.4 First article. When 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, a standard production item from the
contractor's current inventory (see 3.2), 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 reserves the right to waive the requirement for
samples for first article inspection to those bidders offering a product which has been previously acquired
or tested by the Government, and that bidders offering such products, who wish to rely on such
production or test, must furnish evidence with the bid that prior Government approval is presently
appropriate for the pending contract. Bidders should not submit alternate bids unless specifically
requested to do so in the solicitation.
