The procurement emphasizes strict inspection and acceptance controls, source quality assurance, material traceability, and compliance with the cited standards and data item requirements, with shipment prohibited until certification data are reviewed and accepted. Any award will be a DPAS-rated DO order under Emergency Acquisition Flexibilities, and certification documentation must be submitted through WAWF for Portsmouth Naval Shipyard review and acceptance before each shipment.
