What it says

DLA provision reserving the government's right to conduct product verification testing on delivered supplies; failures can result in rejection, replacement demands, and referral for further action.

Why it matters on DIBBS

DLA tests delivered hardware after acceptance more than most agencies. Nonconforming material discovered in PVT triggers replacement at your cost and damages your supplier rating — quality escapes are expensive here.
