INSPECTION, QUALITY
ASSURANCE, AND ACCEPTANCE
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(a)
|
Inspection and acceptance
of the articles, services, and documentation called for herein
shall be accomplished by the Contractual Officer, or his duly
authorized representative (who for the purposes of this Subcontract
shall be the Program Officer) at the destination of the articles,
services or documentation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(b)
|
Each order tendered for
acceptance shall include a Certificate of Conformance (See Section
J, Attachment F), properly executed by the Manufacturer. A copy of
the Certificate of Conformance shall also be included with
Manufacturer’s invoice following Buyer’s inspection and
acceptance of each order.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(c)
|
Approval of
Manufacturer’s final batch records shall constitute
“acceptance.”
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(d)
|
Buyer will accept
delivered filled vials that conform to Subcontract requirements. A
filled vial shall be considered to conform to Subcontract
requirements if its manufacture conforms to good manufacturing
practices and does not materially deviate from the approved Master
Batch Records or standard operating procedures. A “material
deviation” is one that causes the product to fail to meet the
Buyer’s release criteria.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(e)
|
On site inspections of
the physical plant may be conducted by the Buyer, the Government
and/or their duly authorized representatives and other designated
technical experts. Plant inspection, at a minimum, will include
Device Master Records, document control procedures, facilities,
personnel training records, equipment process procedures, and
Quality Assurance Program reviews. Further, the on site
representative(s), if designated, will perform the inspection and
acceptance of articles, services and documentation contained in (a)
above.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(f)
|
In addition to the
inspections discussed above, Buyer may conduct one full-scale GMP
audit per year. Buyer may conduct additional full-scale GMP audits
if the parties mutually agree or in the instance of a product
failure, deviations from acceptable production practices, or any
other occurrence that calls the product’s quality or
integrity into question.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(g)
|
Manufacturer agrees to
provide and maintain a quality control system acceptable to Buyer
and the Government and to provide access to Manufacturer’s
facilities at all reasonable times for surveillance periodically by
Buyer and authorized representatives of the Government.
Manufacturer agrees to include, and to require its subcontractors
to include, the substance of this paragraph, including this
sentence, in each of its subcontracts under this
Subcontract.
