The item is special-emphasis, Level I/SUBSAFE material for a crucial shipboard system, requiring rigorous quality control, traceability, certifications, and an acceptable Quality Control Manual; past performance will be evaluated.

Delivery-related milestones require Portsmouth Naval Shipyard review/acceptance of Certification CDRLs within 30 working days after receipt and final material delivery on or before 365 days after the effective contract date, with early/incremental delivery permitted at no extra cost. Any packaging at a different location must be identified by facility name, address, and CAGE, and the DD1423 inspection/test plan may be waived if already on file at NAVSUP WSS Mechanicsburg.
