offeror proposes to use the SPI process in lieu of military or Federal 
specifications or standards cited in the solicitation; (3) identify the 
contract line items, subline items, components, or elements affected by 
the SPI process; and, (4) if the proposed SPI process has been accepted 
at the facility at which it is proposed for use, but is no yet listed 
at the SPI Internet site, submit documentation of the DoD acceptance of 
the SPI process.
