Additionally, each NSN requires compliance with either “MIL-DTL-15562 Revision G, Notice 1” or “Commercial Item Description (CID) 7FXEDM5”.

MIL-DTL-15562 Revision G, notice 1 (CLINs 1-9) (Attachment 2): Validates that the U.S. Department of Defense specification for electrically insulating switchboard matting remains active and approved for procurement. It defines safety standards for protecting personnel from up to 3,000 Volts AC using Type I (smooth), Type II (solid), and Type III (diamond-embossed) mating materials. These CLINs require First Article Testing (FAT).  The manufacturer must provide First Article Test report(s) with submission of quotes.

Commercial Item Description (CID) 7FXEDM5 (CLINs 10-11) (Attachment 3): Defines procurement specifications for standard, ribbed, commercial-grade vinyl or rubber floor matting and runners intended for high-traffic, durable safety applications in industrial, marine, and medical environments.

Meaning, any concern, including a supplier, that is awarded a contract or order, but proposes to furnish an end item that it did not itself manufacture, process, or produce (i.e., a “nonmanufacturer”), is required to provide an end item that a small business has manufactured, processed, or produced in the United States or its outlying areas.
