A-A-50386
Pairing. The gloves shall be matched, paired, placed palm to palm and tacked. Tacking shall be done with no less than two stitches, using a suitable ply cotton thread which will permit the gloves to be separated without tearing the leather.
Patterns. The government shall furnish a single size pattern. The contractor is responsible for grading patterns for additional sizes. The pattern generally provides for a seam allowance of 1/16 to 3/32 for leather to leather seaming operations and 3/32 to 3/16 for liner seaming operations, except to top opening, which allows for a 3/8 to 1/2 inch hem. Commercial patterns may be used in lieu of government patterns provided they conform to the cited design and finished measurements.
Workmanship. After completion, the gloves shall be thoroughly cleaned and all foreign matter removed.
Product demonstration model. Offerers are required to submit two (2) pairs of gloves of their intended production and style. Product demonstration models will be analyzed and evaluated by the Government. Evaluation criteria and basis for award are contained in the solicitation. Product demonstration models will be retained by the Government. One (1) product demonstration model approved by DPSC under the resultant contract will serve as a manufacturing standard for the corresponding production items delivered under this contract. Offerers are advised that the product demonstration model does not relieve the successful offerer of his responsibility to perform in accordance vith the Commercial Item Description specified above.
Responsibility for inspection. The supplier is responsible for assuring the product conforms to the requirements. Glove lots will be inspected to determine conformance with the Commercial Item Description and the successful offerer’s technical proposal negotiated. Acceptability of glove lots will be determined by the use of “Sampling Procedures and Tables for Inspection by Attributes”, ANSI Z1.4, published by the American Society for Quality Control. Sampling procedures will be designated by the Government at the time of award. The sample unit is one glove and the selection done in pairs. The gloves will be examined for commercial type defects.
Defect. The gloves shall be examined for the following defects: any hole, cut, tear, needle chew, abraded surface, weak or thin spot, hard scars, brittle or bony area, or deep grain damage; leather shaded throughout the glove; color not as specified; any spot or stain (outside); thread ends not removed; stitching of liner finger tips to shell finger tips not as specified; not cut or fabricated in accordance with the product demonstration model; mispaired, i.e., two lefts or two rights; label missing, incorrect, or illegible; measurement of item not as specified; and any variation not otherwise classified herein but at variance with the product demonstration model.
Preservation. Ten (10) pairs of properly mated gloves of one size only, shall be neatly stacked in a bundle with every other pair reversed fingertip to cuff. Each bundle shall be loosely bound around the center with any suitable commercial grade kraft paper. The ends of the paper wrapper shall be either pinned, pasted, or secured with gummed paper tape (1 inch minimum width), or pressure sensitive tape.
