1 Suitable for competitive acquisition.

2 Suitable for competitive acquisition for the first time.

3 Acquire directly from the actual manufacturer, whether or not the prime contractor is the actual manufacturer.

4 Acquire, for the first time, directly from the actual manufacturer rather than the prime contractor who is not the actual manufacturer.

5 Acquire only from the prime contractor although the engineering data identifies the CAGE and part number of a source other than the prime.

A Government's rights to use data in its possession is questionable. Valid AMCs: 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

B Acquisition of this part is restricted to source(s) specified on: Source Control, Altered Item or Selected Item drawings/documents. Valid AMCs: 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

C This part requires engineering source approval by the design control activity in order to maintain the quality of the part. An alternate source must qualify in accordance with the design control activity's procedures, as approved by the cognizant Government engineering activity. Valid AMCs: 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

D The data needed to produce this item from additional sources is not physically available.

Valid AMCs: 3, 4 and 5.

G The Government has unlimited rights to the technical data, and the data package is complete.

Valid AMCs: 1 and 2.

H The Government physically does not have in its possession sufficient, accurate, or legible data to purchase this part from other than current source(s). Valid AMCs: 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

K This part must be produced from class 1A castings (e.g., class 1 of MIL-C-6021) and similar type forgings. The part must be procured only from sources which use castings or forgings obtained from approved (controlled) source(s). Valid AMCs: 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

L The annual buy value of this part falls below the screening threshold of $10,000 but it has been screened for known source(s). Valid AMCs: 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

M Master or coordinated tooling is required to produce this part. This tooling is not owned by the Government or, where owned, cannot be made available to other sources. Valid AMCs: 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

N This part requires special test and/or inspection facilities to determine and maintain ultra-precision quality for its function or system integrity. Substantiation and inspection of the precision or quality cannot be accomplished without such specialized test/inspection facilities.

Valid AMCs: 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

P The rights to use the data needed to purchase this part from additional sources are not owned by the Government and cannot be purchased. Valid AMCs: 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

Q The government does not have adequate data, lacks rights to data, or both, needed to purchase this part from additional sources. Valid AMCs: 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

R The data or the rights to use the data needed to purchase this part from additional sources are not owned by the Government and it has been determined that it is uneconomical to purchase them.

Valid AMCs: 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

S Procurement of this item restricted to limited source(s) because security classifiation of confidential or higher prevents public disclosure. Valid AMCs: 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

T Acquisition of this part is controlled by QPL procedures. Valid AMCs: 1 and 2.

U The cost to the Government to breakout this part and acquire it competitively has been determined to exceed the projected savings over the life span of the part. Valid AMCs: 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

V This part has been designated a high-reliability part under a formal reliability program.

Probability of failure would be unacceptable from the standpoint of safety of personnel and/or equipment. The cognizant engineering activity has determined that data to define and control reliability limits cannot be obtained nor is it possible to draft adequate specifications for this purpose. Valid AMCs: 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

Y The design of this part is unstable. Engineering, manufacturing, or performance characteristics indicate that the required design objectives have not been achieved. Major changes are contemplated because the part has a low process yield or has demonstrated marginal performance during tests or service use. These changes will render the present part obsolete and unusable in its present configuration. Limited acquisition from the present source is anticipated pending configuration changes. Valid AMCs: 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

Z This part is a commercial/non-developmental/off-the-shelf-item. Valid AMCs: 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.
