                     Subpart D_Industrial Priorities

 

Sec. 700.12  Elements of a rated order.



    Each rated order must include:

    (a) The appropriate priority rating (e.g. DO-A1, DX-A4, DO-H1);

    (b) A required delivery date or dates. The words ``immediately'' or 

``as soon as possible'' do not constitute a delivery date. A 

``requirements contract'', ``basic ordering agreement'', ``prime vendor 

contract'', or similar procurement document bearing a priority rating 

may contain no specific delivery date or dates and may provide for the 

furnishing of items from time-to-time or within a stated period against 

specific purchase orders, such as ``calls'', ``requisitions'', and 

``delivery orders''. These purchase orders must specify a required 

delivery date or dates and are to be considered as rated as of the date 

of their receipt by the supplier and not as of the date of the original 

procurement document;

    (c) The written signature on a manually placed order, or the digital 

signature or name on an electronically placed order, of an individual 

authorized to sign rated orders for the person placing the order. The 

signature or use of the name certifies that the rated order is 

authorized under this part and that the requirements of this part are 

being followed; and

    (d) A statement that reads in substance:



    This is a rated order certified for national defense use, and you 

are required to follow all the provisions of the Defense Priorities and 

Allocations System regulation (15 CFR part 700).
