DoD should adopt the NGS and use its qualification activity to support DoD

acquisition.

•  DoD should not adopt an NGS when the NGS includes a qualification require- ment that identifies a DoD activity as the sole designated qualification activity for commercial and Government contracts.When an NGS identifies a DoD qualifi- cation activity, the identification must say the DoD qualifying activity is only for DoD procurement.

•  When an NGS includes qualificationrequirements and both an industry-wide qualification activity and a DoD qualification activity exist, DoD should adopt the NGS and plan for a transition from DoD qualification to industry qualification.

•  When an NGS does not include qualification requirements but DoD has a justi- fied need for qualification, DoD may issue a military document citing the NGS

and establishing qualification requirements.
