Sec. 700.15  Extension of priority ratings.



    (a) A person must use rated orders with suppliers to obtain items 

needed to fill a rated order. The person must use the priority rating 

indicated on the customer's rated order, except as otherwise provided in 

this regulation or as directed by the Department of Commerce.



    For example, if a person is in receipt of a DO-A3 rated order for a 

navigation system and needs to purchase semiconductors for its 

manufacture, that person must use a DO-A3 rated order to obtain the 

needed semiconductors.



    (b) The priority rating must be included on each successive order 

placed to obtain items needed to fill a customer's rated order. This 

continues from contractor to subcontractor to supplier throughout the 

entire procurement chain.
