Delivery is required within 63 days after order, with shipping terms set as FOB Origin and both inspection and acceptance occurring at the destination. The contract mandates strict quality and packaging standards, requiring adherence to ASTM D3951 and MIL-STD-129 for marking and labeling, with the DLA Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements taking precedence. Sampling must follow MIL-STD-1916, ASQ H1331, or a comparable zero-based plan, with specific AQLs assigned for critical, major, and minor attributes. Additionally, the contractor must ensure that mercury is not intentionally added to the hardware, except where functionally required. Administrative requirements include the use of the Wide Area WorkFlow system for invoicing and compliance with NIST SP 800-171 and DFARS cybersecurity and domestic material restrictions, including the Buy American Act and Berry Amendment.
