Contractors are required to submit a formal declaration regarding the domestic or foreign origin of materials, accessible via the DLA Foreign Bearing Waiver website; failure to provide this documentation may disqualify a quote. Packaging and preservation must adhere to MIL-STD-2073-1E and MIL-DTL-197M, including specific preservation methods dictated by bearing type and closure, protective lubricant selection per Table II, and quality assurance verification of the contractor’s packaging facility. Marking requirements follow MIL-STD-129 with special codes, and palletization must meet DLA packaging requirements. Inspection and acceptance occur at destination, with no variance permitted in quantity. All technical and quality requirements referenced by R or I numbers are incorporated from the DLA Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements.
