All contracts and purchase orders in support of these programs are given a priority rating. There are two levels of priority ratings: DX and DO. A DX rating is assigned to those programs of highest national priority. A DO rating is assigned to those programs that are critical to national defense. Rated orders take preference over all unrated orders as necessary to meet required delivery dates. A DX rating takes priority over a DO rating which takes priority over an unrated order.

When a DPAS rating appears in the block 13a and 13b of the SF1449,this is considered a rated order. This order is certified for national defense ,emergency preparedness, and energy program use, and therefore, required to follow all requirements of the Defense Priorities and Allocations System regulation (15 CFR part 700).

When receiving these orders, you must give them preferential treatment as required by the DPAS regulation (15 CFRpart 700).The existence of previously accepted unrated or lower rated orders is not sufficient reason for rejecting a rated order. You are required to reschedule unrated orders if they conflict with performance against a rated order. Also, if order is rated DX, and a DO rated order exists, then the DO rated order must be rescheduled and DX rated order takes priority. These orders will show the priority rating, a required delivery date, signature, and the following statement: This is a rated order certified for national defense use, and you are required to follow all provisions of the Defense Priorities and Allocations System regulation (15 CFR 700).FAR52.211-15.

The priority rating must be included on each successive order, from contractor to subcontractor to supplier. Vendors should include this rating on any orders for materials needed in production of UNICOR’s rated order.

A vendor shall not accept a rated order for delivery on a specific date if unable to fill the order by that date. All rated orders must be scheduled to the extent possible to ensure delivery by the required delivery date. If an accepted rated order is delayed, the UNICOR Contracting Officer must be notified immediately, give the reason for the delay, and advise of a new shipment date. This reason for delay must be in writing.

A rated order shall be accepted or rejected, in writing, within 15 working days for a DO rated order and 10 days for DX rated orders. Contractors are responsible for extending the received ratings to their suppliers to obtain items needed to fill rated orders. No substitutes will be accepted unless approved by US Army Material Command contractor to subcontractor to supplier.

Any contract resulting from this solicitation will not be an obligation. Funds will be obligated by delivery orders.
