4. QUALITY ASSURANCE PROVISIONS.
4.1 Responsibility for inspection. Unless otherwise specified in the contract or purchase order, the contractor is responsible for the performance of all inspection, examination, and test requirements specified herein. Except as otherwise specified in the contract or purchase order, the contractor may use his own or any other facilities suitable for the inspection requirements specified herein, unless disapproved by the Government. The Government reserves the right to perform any of the inspections, examinations, or tests set forth in this description where such inspections, examinations, and tests are deemed necessary to assure supplies and services conform to prescribed requirements.
4.1.1 Responsibility for compliance. All items shall meet all requirements of sections 3 and 5. The inspection set forth in this description shall become a part of the contractors overall inspection system or quality program. The absence of any inspection requirements in the description shall not relieve the contractor of the responsibility of ensuring that all products or supplies submitted to the Government for acceptance comply with all requirements of the contract. Sampling inspection, as part of manufacturing operations, is an acceptance practice to ascertain conformance to requirements, however, this does not authorize submission of known defective material, either indicated or actual, nor does it commit the Government to accept defective material.
4.2 Sample inspection. As a minimum sampling inspection, the supplier shall randomly select the number of samples in table IV that is applicable to the quantity of items being purchased. Each sample item shall be inspected to determine conformance with the examination in 4.3 and the dimensional inspection in 4.4. Should any of the samples fail to meet either the examination or inspection below, the entire lot shall be considered defective and unsuitable for acceptance. A lot is defined as all items of the same type, style, size, and class presented at one time for acceptance.
