MIL-F-80056C
The above DIDs were those cleared as of the date of this specification. The
issue of DOD 5010.12-L,
Acquisition Management Systems and Data
current
Requirements Control List (ANSDL), must be researched to ensure that only current,
cleared DIDs are cited on the DD Form 1423.
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 3.1), and the number of items to be tested as
specified in 4.4. The contracting officer should 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.
6.5 Definitions.
6.5.1 Inch-pound units. Inch-pound units are a system of measures based on the
yard and pound commonly used in the United States of America and defined by the
National Institute of Standards and Technology. Inch-pound units having the same
names in other countries may differ in magnitude.
6.5.2
Metric units. Metric units are a system of basic measures defined by the
International System of Units based on "Le Systeme International D'Unites (SI)," of
the International Bureau of Weights and Measures. These units are described in ASTM
E 380 and IEEE 268 (MIL-STD-961).
6.6 Measurement system. In this specification, all measurements, dimensions,
sizes,
and capacities are given in inch-pound units. These measurements may be
converted to metric units through the use of the conversion factors and methods
specified in FED-STD-376.
6.7 Changes from previous issues. Marginal notations are not used in this
revision to identify changes with respect to the previous issue due to the
extensiveness of the changes.
6.8 Safety and health requirements. OSHA 29 CFR 1910 limits only the total
hazard level (noise, radiation, electromagnetic emissions, noxious vapors, air
contaminants,
and heat) of the environment in which a machine will operate. It
does not limit the hazard level of individual machines in an operating environment.
The procuring activity should analyze the existing hazard level in the proposed
operating environment and specify additional requirements necessary to integrate
this new machine into its future environment.
