4. QUALITY ASSURANCE PROVISIONS
*
4.1 Responsibility for inspection. Unless otherwise specified in the contract, the
contractor is responsible for the performance of all inspection requirements (examination and
tests) as specified herein. Except as otherwise specified in the contract, the contractor may use
his own or any other facilities suitable for the performance of the inspection requirements
specified herein, unless disapproved by the Government. The Government reserves the right to
perform any of the inspections set forth in the specification where such inspections are deemed
necessary to assure supplies and services conform to prescribed requirements. The supplier shall
provide the Government inspection representative instruments and such assistance as the
representative may find necessary.
*
4.1.1 Responsibility for compliance. All items must meet all requirements of sections
3 and 5. The inspection set forth in this specification shall become a part of the contractor's
overall inspection system or quality program. The absence of any inspection requirements in the
specification shall not relieve the contractor of the responsibility for ensuring that all products or
supplies submitted to the Government for acceptance comply with all requirements of the
contract. Sampling inspection, as part of manufacturing operations, is a acceptable practice to
accertain conformance to requirements, however, this does not authorize submission of known
defective material, either indicated or actual, nor does it commit the Government to acceptance
of defective material.
4.2 Government verification. Quality assurance operations performed by the contractor
will be subject to Government verification at unscheduled intervals. Verification will consist of
observation of the operations to determine that practices, methods and procedures of the
contractor's inspection are being properly applied. Failure of the contractor to promptly correct
product deficiencies discovered shall be cause for suspension of acceptance until correction has
been made or until conformance of the product to specification criteria has been demonstrated.
4.3 First production vehicle inspection. The first vehicle of each type produced under
the contract shall be inspected by the contractor at his plant under the direction and in the
presence of Government representatives. The purpose of the inspection shall be to determine
vehicle conformance to the contract. Acceptance of the first production vehicle shall not
constitute a waiver by the Government of its rights under the provisions of the contract. At the
time of first inspection, operating manual(s) including procedures for removing seats, attaching
litter hooks and securing loading ramps, shall be furnished.
4.3.1 Wood treatment certification. Manufacturer's records shall be available to verify
that all wood requiring treatment in accordance with MIL-STD-1223 has been treated.
