Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document, the "First Article Waiver Worksheet," is a form used to request a waiver or partial waiver of the First Article Testing (FAT) requirement for a DoD contract. It serves as supporting documentation for such a request.

• Current Acquisition Information: Fields for buyer's name, solicitation/contract number, NSN, part number, contractor name, CAGE code, and critical safety item status.
• Type of Request: Options for a "Full Waiver" or "Partial Waiver" of FAT, with space to specify the tests to be waived and reference TDPs.
• Justification to Support Waiver Request: This is the core section, requiring bidders to provide detailed information on:
  • Whether the item has been manufactured and delivered under a DoD contract within the past 3 years (including details of past deliveries and manufacturing location).
  • Whether manufacturing planning, processes, facilities, equipment, or subcontractors have changed since the last DoD contract delivery.
  • Whether a successful FAT has been completed for the same or similar items on previous contracts, and if manufacturing conditions remain the same.
  • Whether a FAT has been successfully performed on a "next higher assembly."
• Other Pertinent Information: Sections to detail quality issues (escapes, PQDRs, CARs), changes to manufacturing data, or Material Review Board (MRB) actions.
• Attach Supporting Documentation: A section to upload relevant documents.
• Submission: A certification statement to be signed by the submitter, confirming the accuracy of the statements.

Bidders who are required to perform First Article Testing as part of a solicitation may use this form to formally request a waiver or partial waiver if they believe the testing is unnecessary due to prior manufacturing experience or successful testing of similar items. It requires detailed substantiation of past performance and manufacturing consistency to support the waiver request.
