6. NOTES
(This section contains information of a general or explanatory nature which may be helpful,
but is not mandatory).
6.1 Intended use. The energy dissipator pad is cut into sections and made into stacks which
are used as impact energy dissipators for airdrop of supplies and equipment rigged on platforms
and delivered by parachute to troops in the field.
6.2 Acquisition requirements. Acquisition documents must specify the following:
a) Title, number, and date of this specification.
b) Issue of DoDISS to be cited in the solicitation, and, if required the specific issue of
individual documents referenced (see 2.3).
c) When a first article is required (see 3.1, 4.1.1 and 6.3).
d) Sampling for conformance inspection (see 4.1.2 and 6.4).
e) Packaging requirements (see 5.1).
6.3 First article. When requiring a first article inspection, contracting documents should
provide specific guidance to offerors. This guidance should cover whether the first article is a
first article sample, a first production item, or the number of test items. These documents should
also include specific instructions regarding arrangements for examinations, approval of first article
test results and disposition of first articles. Pre-solicitation documents should provide
Government waiver rights for samples for first article inspection to bidders offering a previously-
acquired or tested product. Bidders offering such products who wish to rely on such production
testing must furnish evidence with the bid that prior Government approval is appropriate for the
pending contract.
6.4 Conformance inspection. Affordable conformance inspection with confidence varies
depending upon a number of procurement risk factors. Some of these factors include contractor
past performance, government schedules and budget, product material and design maturity,
manufacturing capital equipment and processes applied, the controlled uniformity of those
processes, labor skills and training, and the uniformity of measuring process and techniques.
During the solicitation, contracting documents should indicate those tests desired from table I and
their designated frequency based on a risk assessment for the procurement.
