4.1 Contractor Certification. The contractor shall certify and maintain substantiating evidence that the product offered meets the salient characteristics of this Commercial Item Description, and that the product conforms to the producer’s own drawings, specifications, standards, and quality assurance practices. The Government reserves the right to require proof of such conformance prior to the first delivery and thereafter as may be otherwise provided for under the provisions of the contract.
4.2 Inspection & Sampling.

End item inspection/testing may be used by the offeror or the Government representative, as a means to determine the effectiveness of the in process quality controls. In process controls shall not be substituted for end item performance testing.
For those characteristics for which there are no such controls, or for end item performance test, lot by lot sampling for inspection/test shall be required. Sampling shall be in accordance with (ANSI)/ (ASQC) Z1.4. An inspection lot shall consist of all like items submitted for inspection at one time. The sample unit shall be one tape dispenser. The inspection level shall be S-3 with an AQL of 4% defective for visual, dimensional and workmanship.
