Vendors are hereby notified that as of January 26, 2017, all new awardees are required to select either Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) or OMS Vendor Portal (VP) to interface with GSA Global Supply on receiving orders resulting from their award. EDI is the preferred method of order transmission to our vendors but OMS Vendor Portal is an acceptable means of transmission.

Vendors are required to review the instructions regarding enrollment in either one of these systems and processes contained below.

Enrollment in either program is required upon award and must be requested no later than 5 days after receipt of award. Failure to enroll may cause your award to be cancelled or terminated.

For further instructions on how to enroll in either program please contact the following:

Navy, Officer's Mess; Plate, Eating (Bread and Butter) Design and construction: The base materials shall consist of clay, feldspar, flint, nepheline syenite, and metallic oxide of a quality customarily used for the manufacture of commercial china. The dinnerware shall be a non-porous, fully-vitrified china. The dinnerware shall have a maximum water absorption of 0.4 percent when tested in accordance with ASTM C 373 (on the glazed ware). The dinnerware shall conform to the design and dimensional requirements shown on the applicable drawing for each individual style and type. Each piece of dinnerware shall sit securely on its own foot and not rock.

Dimensional variances: The out of roundness of the dinnerware items shall not exceed 1/8 inch while remaining within the overall diameter tolerance limits. The edge warping shall not exceed 3/16 inch. The edge warping shall be determined by placing the dinnerware upside down on a flat surface and inserting a feeler gauge between the dinnerware and the flat surface. Differences in rim height due to design and shape considerations shall not be considered as warpage.

Decoration: Placement of decorations shall be as specified for the individual types. A tolerance of plus or minus 1/16 inch shall be allowed in the placement of the distinguishing mark. A tolerance of plus or minus 1/16 inch shall be allowed on the width of the decorative band and plus 1/32 inch, minus 1/64 inch on the width of the decorative line, where applicable.

Navy Officer's Mess: The decoration shall be dark blue and consist of a band 5/32 inch wide, a line 1/32 inch wide, and a distinguishing mark (anchor). The distinguishing mark shall conform to the figure below and shall be of the size specified for each individual type. The decorations shall be underglaze.

Color: The dark blue of the decorations specified shall be not lighter than color number 15102 nor darker than color number 15050 of AMS-STD-595. The base color of the dinnerware shall approximately match one of the following color numbers of AMS-STD-595: 17886, 27780, or 27778. Color shall be uniform and without smears, smudges, and thin spots. If specified, the color shall be judged against a standard sample by the procuring office or agency. The color shall be considered a "close match" provided it is closest in appearance to the required color number than any other color number.

Performance requirements: The dinnerware items shall have an impact strength of 0.20 and chip resistance of 0.25 ft. lbs when tested in accordance with ASTM C 368. The dinnerware shall show no crazing or thermal shock of the body after testing for three cycles at 300 degrees Fahrenheit (149 degrees Celsius) in accordance with ASTM C 554. The release of heavy metals from the dinnerware shall comply with the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.

Finish: The entire surface of the china dinnerware items shall be covered by a uniform and continuous hard impervious glaze which is cleanable and retains this quality except for the following exceptions. Three pin marks no larger than 1/4 inch in diameter from the refractory used to support the ware during firing, four spindle marks no larger than 3/32 inch wide and 3/32 inch up each side of the foot if the foot is glazed, or a dry foot ring shall be allowable on the bottom surface of the ware. If the refractory leaves a mark on the ware, any protrusion will be dulled in such a manner that the skin can not be cut when rubbed across the protrusion. If the refractory support has removed a piece of ware at the support point, the resultant depression in the surface shall be no larger than 1/4 inch in diameter and 1/32 inch deep.

Decoration for Navy Officer’s Mess Diameter – ¾ inch (±1/16 inch)

Decoration: Placement of decorations shall be as specified for the individual types. A tolerance of plus or minus 1/16 inch shall be allowed in the placement of the distinguishing mark. A tolerance of plus or minus 1/16 inch shall be allowed on the width of the decorative band and plus 1/32 inch, minus 1/64 inch on the width of the decorative line, where applicable.

Navy Officer's Mess: The decoration shall be dark blue and consist of a band 5/32 inch wide, a line 1/32 inch wide, and a distinguishing mark (anchor). The distinguishing mark shall conform to the figure below and shall be of the size specified for each individual type. The decorations shall be underglaze.

Color: The dark blue of the decorations specified shall be not lighter than color number 15102 nor darker than color number 15050 of AMS-STD-595. The base color of the dinnerware shall approximately match one of the following color numbers of AMS-STD-595: 17886, 27780, or 27778. Color shall be uniform and without smears, smudges, and thin spots. If specified, the color shall be judged against a standard sample by the procuring office or agency. The color shall be considered a "close match" provided it is closest in appearance to the required color number than any other color number.

Performance requirements: The dinnerware items shall have an impact strength of 0.15 and chip resistance of 0.25 ft. lbs. when tested in accordance with ASTM C 368. The dinnerware shall show no crazing or thermal shock of the body after testing for three cycles at 300 degrees Fahrenheit (149 degrees Celsius) in accordance with ASTM C 554. The release of heavy metals from the dinnerware shall comply with the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.

Finish: The entire surface of the china dinnerware items shall be covered by a uniform and continuous hard impervious glaze which is cleanable and retains this quality except for the following exceptions. Three pin marks no larger than 1/4 inch in diameter from the refractory used to support the ware during firing, four spindle marks no larger than 3/32 inch wide and 3/32 inch up each side of the foot if the foot is glazed, or a dry foot ring shall be allowable on the bottom surface of the ware. If the refractory leaves a mark on the ware, any protrusion will be dulled in such a manner that the skin can not be cut when rubbed across the protrusion. If the refractory support has removed a piece of ware at the support point, the resultant depression in the surface shall be no larger than 1/4 inch in diameter and 1/32 inch deep.

Diameter – ¾ inch (±1/16 inch)

Plate, Eating (Dinner) Outside diameter (A) – 9/13/16 to 10-3/16 inches Height (B) – 15/16 to 1-1/4 inches
