Common use of Permanent Standards Clause in Contracts

Permanent Standards. If there is not a permanent physical shade standard in place at the time of contract award, Government and Industry parties will work together to establish a permanent standard in the correct substrate within six months of contract award. Within six months of contract award, if a permanent shade standard has not been established, the temporary standard may become the official standard. In this case, DLA will set tolerances against this new official standard based on production lots submitted during the first six months.
