Inspection will principally be conducted at the origin of shipment, while acceptance will occur at the destination (Anniston, AL), with the government maintaining final authority on inspection and acceptance.

Payment and invoicing will be managed electronically via the Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF) system. The proposal submission process is electronic-only through email to designated government contacts, with strict formatting, file size, and content rules to ensure consistency and accessibility.
