H-1. CALIBRATION
The calibration of Test, Measurement and Diagnostic Equipment shall be in accordance with American National Standards Institute/National Conference of Standards Laboratories (ANSI /NCSL) Z540-3-2006 (General Requirements for Calibration Laboratories and Measuring and Test Equipment) or ISO 10012:2003 (Quality Assurance Requirements for Measuring Equipment).
Terminology shall be as defined by International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 8402, Quality Management and Quality Assurance - Vocabulary.
H-2. DEFENSE PRIORITY AND ALLOCATIONS SYSTEM (DPAS) RATED AWARDS
Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS) Rated Awards (JUNE 2025)
A DPAS rated order indicates the priority the contractor must give to the performance of the award.
There are two priority ratings: "DX" and "DO". All "DX" rated orders have equal priority with each other and take preference over "DO" rated orders and unrated orders. All "DO" rated orders have equal priority with each other and take preference over unrated orders. (see 15 CFR 700.11 and DoDM 4400.1-M).
Mandatory Contractor Performance Scheduling
A contractor must schedule operations, including the acquisition of all needed production items, in a timely manner to satisfy the delivery requirements of each DPAS rated order. Additionally, contractors are required to use DPAS rated orders with their U.S. suppliers to obtain items needed to fill rated orders (15 CFR 700.15). Contractors may also use DPAS rated orders to obtain replacements of inventoried items used to fill rated orders (see 15 CFR 700.17(b)). Modifying production or delivery schedules is necessary only when required delivery dates for a rated order cannot otherwise be met. Since "DX" indicates the highest rated order, the manufacturer will schedule its production before processing other lower or unrated orders. "DX" rated orders must be given production preference over "DO" rated orders and unrated orders if necessary to meet required delivery dates, even if this requires the diversion of items being processed or ready for delivery against unrated orders. Similarly, "DO" rated orders must be given preference over unrated orders. If an accepted rated order of equal priority status conflicts with other accepted rated orders of equal priority status, the contractor must prioritize the rated orders in the sequence in which the rated orders are to be delivered or performed (see 15 CFR 700.14).
Contractor Acceptance of a DPAS rated order:
Contractors receiving an award that includes a DPAS rating shall advise DLA via the post award mailbox, DLAHSVMSLPOSTAWARD@DLA.MIL , if they cannot perform in accordance with the requirements of the applied DPAS rating. When rejecting an order in full, communication to the contracting officer must include a detailed reason for rejection. If the order can be fulfilled at a later date, the contractor must provide, a) the earliest possible delivery date, b) a detailed reason why the awarded delivery date cannot be met (e.g. reason should not simply state a production delay) and, c) an offer to accept the order based on that date. Contractors must advise DLA within fifteen
(15) working days after receipt of a "DO" rated order, and within ten (10) working days after receipt of a "DX" rated order if they cannot perform in accordance with the DPAS rating. Contractors that do not contact DLA are self-attesting that they acknowledge receipt of the award and will conform to the DPAS rating requirement. If the prescribed response time has passed and the contractor learns that shipment or performance will be delayed, the contractor is still required to notify DLA immediately.
Special Priority Assistance:
Preferential scheduling is a must for DPAS rated orders (see 15 CFR 700.14). If a contractor learns that a shipment or performance will be delayed after the allotted response time has passed or any other issue arises that will affect deliveries during the duration of the contract, the contractor is required to notify DLA immediately through the use of Form BIS-999, Special Priorities Assistance (SPA). Deviations from schedules cannot be approved without the completion and submission of this form. Once submitted, DLA and its customers will discuss the SPA for approval.
The Department of Commerce requires an approved BIS-999 prior to reprioritizing DPAS rated orders and its schedules (See 15 CFR 700.50). Please contact DLA post award for any SPA questions or concerns.
H-3. ELECTRONIC FABRICATION: REQUIREMENTS FOR ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC
ASSEMBLIES (AVN & MSL)
1. Notwithstanding any other provision contained in any part of this contract to the contrary, the minimum requirements/standards for soldering electrical and electronic assemblies shall be the non-military joint industry standard, ANSI/J-STD-001, Class 3. The revision of ANSI/J-STD-001 in effect on the effective date of the contract shall govern the hardware produced hereunder. A copy of ANSI/J-STD-001 may be obtained from the Institute for Interconnecting and Packaging Electronic Circuits (IPC), 3000 Lakeside Drive, 105N, Bannockburn, IL, 60015, https://www.ipc.org.
2. The contractor shall establish and maintain an electronic/electrical parts control program and shall maintain and make available to the Government records and data which will provide visibility and traceability of all parts used in the production of the equipment under this contract. This selection of parts shall not be construed to relieve the contractor of meeting specified performance of the end item in which the part is used.
3. The Technical Data Package (TDP) shall serve as the baseline Program Parts Selection List (PPSL) and the parts and sources listed therein are the standard parts and sources. A Non- Standard Part is defined as a part or source other than that cited in the PPSL. When the contractor desires to use a part or source other than those cited in the PPSL, the change must be approved by the Government via a Request for Deviation (RFD) as defined elsewhere in this contract.
Failure on the part of the contractor to submit such RFDs may result in the replacement of the nonstandard part with the standard part by the Government at the contractor's expense for all affected items.
4. The contractor shall provide objective evidence such as form, fit, function, and interchangeability data that shows the proposed part complies with the requirements of applicable parts documentation. The RFD shall detail the technical justification for the use of the part and advantages of the nonstandard part, if any. Compare the nonstandard part to the standard part whose characteristics are nearest to those required for the application. Include, when applicable:
a. Part Number and Source
b. Size and weight data.
c. Electrical and mechanical characteristics
d. Reliability (with data if requested)
e. Availability of the standard part (delivery schedules, still available etc.)
f. Supplemental data such as existing control drawings, specifications, vendor data sheets, and other pertinent data. Data need not be furnished for nonstandard parts covered by documents listed in the Department of Defense Index of Specifications and Standards (DoDISS) or Standardized Military Drawings (SMD).
5. The Contractor shall maintain a Lead Free Control Plan (LFCP) and make available to the Government upon request. The requirement for a Lead Free Control Plan shall be flowed down to suppliers of equipment that may include lead-free materials. The LFCP shall follow the guidelines set forth in GEIA-STD-0005-1, "Performance Standard for Aerospace and High Performance Electronic Systems Containing Lead- Free Solder" or its equivalent. In addition, the LFCP shall also include tin whisker mitigation plans in accordance with GEIA-STD-0005- 2, "Standard for Mitigating the Effects of Tin Whiskers in Aerospace and High Performance Electronic Systems" or its equivalent, at control level 2C or equivalent. The Contractor should include in the LFCP any special design considerations, manufacturing process controls, test and qualification requirements, quality inspection and screening, marking and identification, maintenance and repair processes, and other steps taken to mitigate risk.
6. The Contractor shall prepare, or update existing, Counterfeit Risk Management Plan and make available to the Government upon request. The Plan shall meet the requirements of SAE AS5553 for electronic items. The Contractor shall procure parts from original manufacturers or the original manufacturers' franchised distributors. Contractors shall report counterfeits and suspected counterfeits to the Government and in the Government Industry Data Exchange Program (GIDEP), in accordance with the GIDEP Operations Manual, SO300-BT-PRO- 010.
H-4. ENGINEERING CHG PROPOSAL, VALUE ENG CHG PROPOSAL, REQUEST FOR
