(I) Unless otherwise specified in the solicitation, the Naval Inventory Control Point reserves the right to waive the First Article Approval Requirements specified herein for offerors who have previously furnished IDENTICAL production articles accepted by the Government or the Original Equipment Manufacturer/Prime Manufacturer. An offeror requesting waiver of First Article Approval Requirements shall submit evidence with its offer establishing that: (a) the last production unit was delivered within three (3) years of the issue date of this solicitation AND (b) the production location to be used for this requirement is the same as used for the previous production run. Additionally, the offeror shall submit a CERTIFICATION, to be executed by the officer or employee responsible for the offer, stating that: (a) the articles to be provided will be produced using the same facilities, processes, sequence of operations and approved subcontractors as those previously delivered and accepted by the Government or the Original Equipment Manufacturer/Prime Manufacturer, AND (b) the previous production units were manufactured without Material Review Board disposition or waiver/deviation request or rejection of pre-production samples for cause. (NOTE: This certification concerns a matter within the jurisdiction of an agency of the United States and the making of a false, fictitious, or fraudulent certification may render the maker subject to prosecution under Title 18, United States Code, Section 1001.) (II) Offerors requesting waiver of First Article Approval Requirements under the provisions of this clause are cautioned to submit two prices for articles required herein - one that is based on compliance with the First Article Approval Requirements AND one that is based on a waiver of such requirements. Where an offeror submits only one price and fails to clearly state that the price is based on waiver of the First Article Approval Requirements, it will be deemed to be based on compliance with the First Article Approval Requirements. (III) In the event waiver of the First Article Approval Requirements is granted, the delivery schedule for the production items shall be reduced by the number of days designated for delivery of First Article Test unit plus the number of calendar days indicated for the government notification of conditional approval or approval. These requirements are specified in the quality assurance section of this soliciatation. If the offeror is unable to meet the desired schedule, he shall insert below the alternate delivery schedule he offers to the government.
