applicable.)

    (b)  By written notice to the Contractor within 45 calendar days 
from receipt of the drawings, the Government shall either accept, conditionally 
accept, or disapprove the drawings.  Notice of acceptance or conditional 
acceptance shall not relieve the Contractor from complying with all requirements 
of the specification and all other provisions of the contract.  A notice of 
conditional acceptance shall state any further action required of the Contractor.  
Within 5 calendar days after Contractor receipt, a copy of any correspondence 
from the approving agency and a cover letter citing the applicable contract

    (c)  If the drawings are disapproved, the Government may terminate for 
default as stipulated in paragraph (d) below or may request the Contractor 
to submit revised drawings to the Government agencies checked above within 
a time specified by the Government.  In addition, the Government may require 
the submission or resubmission of other drawings and documents which may be 
required for reference.  The Government shall take action with respect to 
the revised drawings within 10 calendar days of receipt thereof.  The 
Government reserves the right to require an equitable reduction in the 
contract price for any extension of the delivery Schedule(s) and/or for 
any additional costs to the Government related to revised drawing submissions.  
The Contractor shall make no changes to any accepted drawings.

    (d)  If the Contractor fails to deliver any drawings as required by this 
clause within the time or times specified by this clause, or if the Government 
disapproves any drawings, the Contractor shall be deemed to have failed to 
make delivery within the meaning of the "Default" clause of this contract, 
and this contract shall be subject to termination for default provided that 
failure of the Government in such event to terminate this contract for default 
shall not relieve the Contractor of his responsibility to meet all other 
specified delivery dates.

    (e)  Before drawing approval, the acquisition of materials or components 
for, or the commencement of production of the first article (if required) 
and/or the contract quantity is at the sole risk of the Contractor.  Before 
drawing approval, the costs thereof shall not be allocable to this contract 
for (1) progress payments, or (2) termination settlements if the contract 
is terminated for the convenience of the Government.

    (f)  The Government reserves the right to waive the requirement for 
submission of drawings and other data as stated in the specification cited 
in paragraph (a) upon satisfactory evidence that the Government previously 
has reviewed and accepted identical drawings.  However, previous Government 
acceptance of drawings does not constitute waiver of any requirements set 
forth in this clause.  Offerors desiring to rely upon such prior drawing 
acceptance by the Government must furnish evidence that prior Government 
acceptance presently is appropriate by indicating below the contract(s) 
under which drawings for the identical item acquired to this specification 
were accepted by the Government, and by furnishing a copy of the prior 
letter of approval along with the offer.

          PRIOR GOVERNMENTAL ACCEPTANCE OF IDENTICAL DRAWINGS

          CONTRACT NO.     CONTRACTING ACTIVITY     CONTRACT DATE

                                                                                

                                                                                

If the Government waives the requirement for submission of drawings and 
other data as described in the specification cited in paragraph (a), the 
delivery Schedule for submission of the first article, if any, and the 
delivery Schedule for the production quantity shall be reduced by the 
number of days allotted for submission and acceptance of such drawings 
and data.  However, the earlier delivery Schedule(s) shall not be a 
factor in evaluation for award.
