A. Solicitation Provisions. Contracts may provide that the State may inspect labor or goods at the contractor's or subcontractor's facility and perform tests to determine whether they conform to solicitation requirements, or, after award, to contract requirements, and may be accepted. The inspections and tests shall be conducted in accordance with the terms of the solicitation or the contract.

B. Procedures for Trial Use and Testing. The procurement officer may establish operational procedures governing the testing and trial use of labor or goods and the application of resulting information and data to specifications or procurements.

C. Conduct of Inspections.

(1) Inspectors. Inspections or tests shall be performed so as not to unduly delay the work of the contractor or subcontractor. No inspector other than the procurement officer may change any provision of the specifications or the contract without written authorization. The presence or absence of an inspector does not relieve the contractor or subcontractor from any requirements of the contract.

(2) Location. When an inspection is made in the plant or place of business of a contractor or subcontractor, the contractor or subcontractor shall provide, without charge, all reasonable facilities and assistance for the safety and convenience of the person or persons performing the inspection or testing.

(3) Time. Inspection or testing of supplies and services performed at the plant or place of business of any contractor or subcontractor shall be performed at reasonable times.
