What it makes you produce

One item for your checklist.

  1. Something you write

    Days to weeks, and nobody outside your company has to agree to it.

    • A report of the test and qualification results, sent to the Title III program office

      Owed when the contracting officer directs the testing by contract modification — a request from a Title III program contractor is forwarded under (b) rather than answered directly

      FAR 52.234-1(c)

When it is used

Prescribed at 34.104 for contracts involving industrial resources developed under Title III of the Defense Production Act; no dollar threshold. Flows down by mandate of (e) to every subcontract issued in performance of the contract.

Read closely

(d) has the Government furnish the resource to be tested and adjust the price for what the testing costs, so this is not an unfunded errand. Nothing here requires buying a Title III resource, and until a request arrives the obligation lies dormant.
