managing Military Department s or Defense Agency s automated packaging files, CD-ROM
products, or by contacting the responsible packaging activity.
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 ignition lead covered by this specification is intended to provide
electrical continuity between the ignition exciter and spark igniter on the AGT 1500 gas turbine
engine in the M1 (Abrams) military tank. This ignition lead is military unique in application and
design, due to the nature of the environmental extremes it should function under.
6.2 Acquisition requirements. Acquisition documents should specify the following:
a. Title, number and date of this specification.
b. If required, the specific issue of individual documents referenced (see 2.2.1, 2.2.2,
and 2.3).
c. When first article is required (see 3.1 and 6.3).
d. If first article sample size is other than as specified (see 4.1.1).
e. Sampling plan (see 4.1.2.1).
f. If verification alternatives are other than specified (see 4.2.1)
g. Packaging requirements (see 5.1).
6.3 First article. When requiring a first article inspection, contracting documents should
provide specific guidance to offerors (see 6.2). This guidance should cover whether the first
article is a first article sample, a first article 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 should furnish evidence with the bid that prior Government
approval is appropriate for the pending contract.
