Nahh Mr. Bigg, no sign of the DLA going back to the original pricing model that I can find (paying licensing costs for all OEMs and suppliers). On that, I can't find ANY mention of DNA marking or concerns of Counterfeit parts.
And the frustrating part, they don't disqualify us either.
WTF? Lemme try that again. Whole damn review has been frustrating. None of the presentations provide anything positive or negative for us.
They have contact points for managers in charge of QUALIFIED MANUFACTURERS LISTs (QMLs) and all their responsibilities (no e-mail or phone). I doubt if any direct questions on DNA marking would be answered. My hunch only.
There's no mention of the 2012 mandate where FSC 461 OEM suppliers and mfgrs have to mark their parts with SigNATURE DNA stamps. Those are my immediate BAD points. Good side is they never say we'll not be used.
We have 3-to-4 months to go on our extended contract. Rocket's earlier post may be closer to where the DLA wants us. The slide shows aren't a RINGING endorsement.
And they're not flushing us away either.
