SD-2 Dod Acquisitions Buying Commercial Items And Nondevelopmental ItemsThis document offers guidance on acquisitions involving all types of commercial and nondevelopmental items: systems, subsystems, assemblies, parts, and items of supply. Commercial services are also addressed.This document does not present a “cookbook” approach to the acquisition of commercial and nondevelopmental items; such an approach could not accommodate the vast array of potential applications. It does offer lessons learned and things to consider when participating on an integrated product team.

sive. A QML applies to processes or materials that generally meet the following criteria:

e  They do not have recognized industry part numbers.

e  They are procured to a specification that covers a wide range of technologies-like hybrid microcircuits.

e  They are a family of products with similar characteristics-like printed wiring boards.

Verification of Supportability

If commercial testing does not address operability in the intended military environment and relevant information is not available from existing sources, test and evaluation may be required. This testing should be designed to determine or verify the suitability and supportability of the item. Independent evaluation results provided to the developer and the user may affect tradeoff analyses, source selection, and the support strategy.
