Logistics Information Service (DLIS). To obtain certification, go to HYPERLINK

C.2.5 Failure to produce an end item with a cumulative fit that conforms to Government drawings, specifications or other supplemental manufacturing documentation, will result in the Contractor being responsible for correcting this condition at no additional cost to the

Government and no delivery schedule extension.

D.1.2 Unitization: Shipments of identical items going to the same destination shall be palletized if they have a total cubic displacement of 50 cubic feet or more unless skids or other forklift handling features are included in the containers. Pallet loads must be stable, and to the greatest extent possible, provide a level top for ease of stacking. A palletized load shall be of a size to allow for placement of two loads high and wide in a conveyance. The weight capacity of the pallet must be adequate for the load. The preferred pallet is a 40 x 48 inch, 4-way entry pallet although variations may be permitted as dictated by the characteristics of the items being unitized. The load shall be contained in a manner that will permit safe handling during shipment and storage.

included with every unit pack and intermediate container and shall be included with the packing list inside the sealed pouch attached to the outside of the package.

D.1.6 This SPI has been validated, and the method of preservation/packing has proven successful in meeting the needs of the military distribution system, including indeterminate storage and shipment throughout the world. Special instructions and/or tailoring of the SPI are detailed in the Supplemental Instructions below. A prototype package is required to validate the sizes and fit requirements of the

SPI. Minor dimensional and size changes are acceptable provided the contractor provides the PCO and ACO with notification 60 days prior to delivery. Any design changes or changes in the method of preservation that provide cost savings without degrading the method of preservation or packing or affecting the serviceability of the item will be considered and responded to within 10 days of submission to

PCO and ACO. The Government reserves the right to require testing to validate alternate industrial preservation methods, materials, alternate blocking, bracing, cushioning, and packing.

E.3.6 Resubmission of the contractor's proposed AIE design for Government approval on a follow-on Government contract is not required, provided the inspection characteristic parameters specified in the technical data package and the previously Government approved AIE designs have not changed. In this situation, the contractor shall provide written correspondence in the place of the AIE designs that indicates prior Government approval and states that no changes have occurred.

E.3.7 The Government reserves the right to disapprove, at any time during the performance of this contract, of any AIE that is not accomplishing its intended use in verifying an inspection or test characteristic.
