         (1)  Submission of Samples

              (i)  Unless the requirement for submission of sample 
commercial manuals is waived under paragraph (a)(2) below, the 
Contractor, at no cost to the Government, shall submit five (5) 
sample copies of his commercial manual, not later than 90 days 
prior to the initial scheduled delivery of equipment under this 
contract, to the address below for review and approval:

Manuals are to be prepared in accordance with requirements of the 
attached DD Form 1423.  Sample manuals may be sent via regular mail.  
The Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) will notify the 
Contractor of the acceptance of, or the required corrections to, 
the sample commercial manual within 60 days after date of receipt at 
DSCR.

             (ii)  In the event corrections are required, the COR 
will furnish a notice of required corrections.  The Contractor 
shall submit five (5) copies of the corrected commercial manual 
for approval within the period specified in the notice of required 
corrections, but this period shall not be less than 10 working days
after receipt of notice.  When the commercial manual can be corrected 
by the addition of supplemental sheets, the Contractor will be so 
advised.  The COR will furnish the Contractor with the notice of 
approval of the manual and the numbers assigned to the commercial 
manual.  To facilitate preparation of an acceptable commercial 
manual, the Contractor may communicate directly with the Technical 
Manual Manager (DSCR-JHTC), telephone number (804) 279-6668, 
to secure assistance on problems relating to the manual.

         (2)  Waiver of Samples

requirement for submission of sample commercial manuals to those

previously approved manuals should furnish with the offer evidence 
of prior Government acceptance by completing the following:

             (ii)  The Contractor shall also furnish to DSCR-JHTC 
with his request for waiver, five (5) copies of any changes to the 
previously approved commercial manual.

            (iii)  If the Contracting Officer determines that a 
waiver is appropriate, the offered price will be reduced by the 
value of the number of manuals required on DSCR Form 2375 and 
evaluated on that basis.

    (b)  Manual Distribution

         (1)  The Contractor shall furnish with each end item 
two (2) copies of the approved commercial manual prepared in 
accordance with the attached DD Form 1423.

         (2)  Unless submission of the sample manuals is waived, 
the Contractor shall furnish, on or before initial shipment of 
production items, copies of the approved commercial manual 
specified herein to the addresses checked on the attached DSCR 
Form 2375 in the quantity indicated.

         (3)  If approval of the manual has not been obtained 
by the time the end item is ready for shipment, the Contractor 
shall request permission from the Contracting Officer to pack a 
copy of his proposed manual for shipment with each unit.  Upon 
receipt of approval of manual, the Contractor will forward one 
copy of such approved manual to the ultimate consignee of the 
end item.  Shipping address for approved manual will be furnished 
by Defense Contract Management Command or the Contracting Officer.

    (c)  Option for Additional Commercial Manuals

         (1)  The Government may order by written notice any 
time after award, but not later than 30 days before final scheduled 
delivery of end items, additional copies of such manuals, f.o.b. 
origin, in the quantities and at the unit price set below:

                QUANTITY               UNIT PRICE

                 1 - 5                $          

                 6 - 25               $          

                 Over 25              $          

         (2)  Failure of an offeror to quote unit price for the 
option quantities of manuals will be considered an offer to furnish 
the option quantities at the unit price for the basic quantity of 
such manuals.

         (3)  Delivery of additional copies of manuals ordered 
shall be not later than 60 days after written notice, unless the 
parties otherwise agree.

         (4)  The offeror may, without affecting the responsiveness 
of his offer, refuse to give the Government the right to purchase 
additional commercial manuals, provided that such refusal is set 
forth in this offer.
