DD1423 Data Item A001 (Inspection and Test Plan) may be waived if already onfile at NAVSUP WSS Mechanicsburg. 2. Portsmouth NSY's DODAAC has changed from N00102 to N50286. Any reference toN00102 within this order should be updated to N50286. 3. All contractual documents (i.e. contracts, purchase orders, task orders, delivery orders, and modifications) related to the instant procurement are considered to be ""issued"" by the Government when copies are either deposited in the mail, transmitted by facsimile, or sent by other electronic commerce methods, such as email. The Government's acceptance of the contractor's proposal constitutes bilateral agreement to ""issue"" contractual documents as detailed here in. 4. The following proposed delivery schedule applies: Submission of all certification data CDRLS 20 days prior to delivery. PNSY review/acceptance of certification CDRLS 6 working days after receipt Final delivery of material (365 days) 5. Only those sources with an acceptable quality control manual are eligible for award under this solicitation. Offerors are cautioned that this procurement will not be delayed solely for the purpose of approving additional sources. 6. This is a rated order certified for national defense use, and the Contractorwill follow all the requirements of the Defense Priorities and Allocations System regulation (15 CFR 700). 7. Drawings associated with this solicitation will be made available on the SAM.gov website but will be restricted access, which needs to be approved. Once access has been requested, interested vendors should email the POC listed on the solicitation to inform them of the request. 8. NAVSUP WSS Mech will be considering past performance in the evaluation of offers. See Clause 252.213-7000. 9. This requirement is under qualified products list (QPL) (24403 may change), see clause 52.209-1 for more details. This requirement will not be halted to allow approval of an unapproved source. \ 1. SCOPE 1.1 The material covered in this contract/purchase order will be used in a crucial shipboard system. The use of incorrect or defective material would create a high probability of failure resulting in serious personnel injury, loss of life, loss of vital shipboard systems, or loss of the ship itself. Therefore, the material has been designated as SPECIAL EMPHASIS material (Level I, Scope of Certification, or Quality Assured) and special control procedures are invoked to ensure receipt of correct material. 2. APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS 2.1 Order of Precedence - In the event of a conflict between the text of this contract/purchase order and the references and/or drawings cited herein, the text of this contract/purchase order must take precedence. Nothing in this contract/purchase order, however, must supersede applicable laws and regulations unless a specific exemption has been obtained. 2.2 Applicable Documents - The document(s) listed below form a part of this contract/purchase order including modifications or exclusions. 2.2.1 Specification Revisions - The specification revisions listed under ""Documents References"" below are the preferred revision. Older and/or newer r evisions are acceptable when listed within Contract Support Library Reference Number CSD155 in ECDS (Electric Contractor Data Submission) at: ht tps://register.nslc.navy.mil/. This is to allow Contractors to use certain acceptable older specification revisions to purge their existing stock of material certified to those older revisions or to use newer specification revisions when material is certified to newly released revisions,without requiring the submittal of waiver/deviation requests for each specification revision on every contract. Revisions of specifications reflecting editorial and/or re-approval (e.g. E2009, R2014, etc.) are considered inconsequential, but are acceptable when their revisions are listedwithin CSD155 or elsewhere within this contract. 2.2.2 ""Document References"" listed below must be obtained by the Contractor. Ordering information is included as an attachment to this contract/purchase order.
