contractor may use his own or any other facilities suitable for the
performance of the inspection requirements specified herein, unless

any of the inspections set forth in the specification where such inspections
are deemed necessary to ensure supplies and services conform to prescribed

supplies submitted to the Government for acceptance comply with all
requirements of the contract. Sampling inspection, as part of manufacturing

requirements, however, this does not authorize submission of known defective

accept defective material.

and suitability. This element of inspection shall encompass all visual
examinations and dimensional measurements. Noncompliance with any specified
requirements or presence of one or more defects preventing or lessening
maximum efficiency shall constitute cause for rejection.
4.2.1 First article inspection. The first article inspection shall be
performed on buckets when a first article is required (see 3.2 and 6.2}. This
inspection shall include the examination of 4.2.1 and the tests of 4.3. The
first article may be either a first production item or a standard production
item from the supplier's current inventory provided the item meets the
requirements of the specification and is representative of the design,
construction, and manufacturing technique applicable to the remaining items to
be furnished under the contract.
4.3 First article tests. When first article is required, the first
article bucket of each type, class, and size shall be subjected to the tests
specified in 4.3.1 and 4.3.2. The first article tests shall be performed by
the supplier. The supplier shall provide all material and equipment to

until corrective action has been taken.
