6.4 Conformance testing. 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 skill and training, and the uniformity of measuring processes and techniques.
During the solicitation, contracting documents should indicate those tests desired from table II
