Use of rated orders.

CFR · 2024-01-01 · US · Title 7

(a) A person must use rated orders as necessary to obtain: (1) Items that will be physically incorporated into other items to fill rated orders, including that portion of such items normally consumed or converted into scrap or by-products in the course of processing; (2) Containers or other packaging materials required to make delivery of the finished items against rated orders; (3) Services, other than contracts of employment, needed to fill rated orders; and (4) MRO needed to produce the finished items to fill rated orders. (b) A person may use a rated order to replace inventoried items (including finished items) if such items were used to fill rated orders, as follows: (1) The order must be placed within 90 days of the date of use of the inventory. (2) A DO rating and the program identification symbol indicated on the customer's rated order must be used on the order. A DX rating must not be used even if the inventory was used to fill a DX-rated order. (3) If the priority ratings on rated orders from one customer or several customers contain different program identification symbols, the rated orders may be combined. In this case, the program identification symbol P4 must be used (that is DO-P4). (c) A person may combine DX- and DO-rated orders from one customer or several customers if the items or services covered by each level of priority are identified separately and clearly. If different program identification symbols are indicated on those rated orders of equal priority
