Therefore, the material has been designated as Critical Application Item (CAI) material and special control procedures are invoked to ensure receipt of correct material.

An alternate source must qualify in accordance with the design control activity’s procedures, as approved by the cognizant Government engineering activity (NAVAIR). The qualification procedures must be approved by the Government engineering activity having jurisdiction over the part in the intended application. To facilitate limited competition as required per NAVAIR 4200.56, approved sources are given. Other sources may be used if evaluated successfully by NAVSUP WSS and or NAVAIR prior to contract award.
