    The document presents an Item Unique Identification (IUID) checklist as mandated by DFARS 252.211.7003, specifically addressing the marking requirements for a regulated valve with the NSN 4810012257171RK. The primary initiator of the checklist is Christopher M. Kissick from the 423 SCMS/GUEA organization. It highlights the requirement for contractors to perform marking in accordance with MIL-STD-130 standards, specifying that the location and method of marking are determined by the contractor. Additionally, it mentions that the item in question has an embedded classification under the same NSN, further establishing the relevance of correct identification and marking practices. The checklist serves as a crucial guideline for ensuring compliance with federal regulations regarding the identification of defense items.
    This document serves as a supplement to AFLC Form 761, detailing qualification requirements for a specific National Stock Number (NSN) pertaining to a regulating valve. The main purpose is to establish the strict prequalification standards necessary for potential manufacturers to ensure high quality and operational safety of the part. The document outlines that, due to the part's complexity and criticality, only manufacturers who have completed essential testing are considered approved sources. It references the OC-ALC Source Approval Information Booklet for further qualification criteria, which varies for items with requirements established before or after 19 October 1984. Specifically, the latter requires a Justification for Qualification Requirement (JQR). Furthermore, the provisions set forth by FAR 9.206-1 and AFMCFARS are enforced to standardize evaluation procedures. Ultimately, this document underlines the government's commitment to sourcing only from qualified vendors to maintain safety and reliability within defense manufacturing processes.

WPM includes various wooden constructs, and it mandates that all wooden materials, including pallets and containers, must be constructed from debarked wood and heat-treated to specified temperatures to ensure safety. Furthermore, certification from an accredited agency recognized by the American Lumber Standards Committee is required. The document also specifies adherence to MIL-STD-2073-1 for Military Packaging and MIL-STD-129 for Marking, with defined criteria for additional marking like unit serial numbers and manufacturer details. The packaging specialist named Aaron D. Mallory is responsible for this documentation, emphasizing that all items must meet military standards for shipping and storage.
