When Government inspection is required, the contractor shall add to his purchasing document the following statement: Government inspection is required prior to shipment from your plant. hs Upon receipt of t i order, promptly notify the Government Representative who normallysemicesyour plant so that appropriate planning for Governmentinspection a n be accomplished, When, underauthorization of the Government Representative, copies o the purchasing document are t o be fuinisheddirectly by the subcontractor o r vendor to the Govm e n t Representative at hin facility rather than through Government channels, the contractor shall addto his purchasing document a statement substantiallyas follows: On receipt of this order, promptly furnish a copy to the Government Representative who normally s e m ices your plant, or, if nona to the nearest Army, Navy, Air Force, or Defense Supply Agency inspection office.

All documents and referenced data for purchases applyingto a Govenunentcontract shall be available for review by the Government Representative to determine cornpliance nith the requirements for the control of such purchases. Copies of purchasing documents required for Government purposes shall be furnished in accordance with the inRepresentastructions of the Government tive. The contractor shall make available to of theGovernmentRepresentativereports anynonconformancefound on Government source inspected supplies and shall (when requested) require the supplier to coordinate with his Government Representative on corrective action.

In such cases, total conformance to contract requirements cannot be obtained effectively and economically solely by controlling inspection and testing.
