All shipments must be marked and labeled according to MIL-STD-129. Administrative requirements include the use of the Wide Area WorkFlow system for electronic invoicing and receiving reports. Key regulatory compliance includes DFARS 252.204-7012 for safeguarding covered defense information and cyber incident reporting, as well as prohibitions on covered defense telecommunications equipment under DFARS 252.204-7018. Quotations must be submitted via DIBBS by November 9, 2026.
