The shipping container requires MIL-STD-129 labelling. Bulk packaging is authorized provided that adequate dunnage is utilized to prevent inter-unit impact and potential damage. To prevent damage, thread protectors are required on all materials with external threads (e.g., screws or bolts). All other Terms and Conditions remain unchanged. 1. This is a combined solicitation for multiple related items. The CLINS within this solicitation will be reviewed at CLIN level for determination of award, with award decision being made at CLIN level. This may result in multiple awards to multiple vendors. Offerors are advised that quotes should not contain quantity discounts for multiple combined CLINS as this may result in award at an unreasonably low value, in the event all CLINS are not awarded (won). Vendors are invited to offer on any or all CLINS. 2. DD1423 Data Items with "title of data item" being "inspection and Test Plan" may be waived if already on file at NAVSUP WSS Mechanicsburg. 3. DD1423 Data Item A001 (Inspection and Test Plan) may be waived if already on file at NAVSUP WSS Mechanicsburg. 4. Portsmouth NSY's DODAAC has changed from N00102 to N50286. Any reference to N00102 within this order should be updated to N50286. 5. The following proposed delivery schedule applies: Submission of Certification Data CDRLs will be on or before 20 days prior to scheduled delivery. PNSY review/acceptance of Certification CDRLs 6 working days after receipt of Certification DD 1423 CDRLs. Final delivery of material will be on or before 365 days after the effective date of the resulting contract. 6. Any contract awarded as a result of this solicitation will be "DO" rated order; "DO" rated order certified for national defense use under the Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS). 7. This order is issued pursuant to Emergency Acquisition Flexibilities (EAF). 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 revisions are acceptable when listed within Contract Support Library Reference Number CSD155 in ECDS (Electric Contractor Data Submission) at: https://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 listed within CSD155 or elsewhere within this contract. 2.2.2 "Document References" listed below must be obtained by the Contractor.
