APPENDIX A
QUALIFICATION CRITERIA AND PROVISIONS
A.1 SCOPE
A.1.1 Scope. This appendix is intended to provide the criteria and provisions for the
Qualified Manufacturers List (QML) program for wire rope assemblies. This appendix is a
mandatory part of the specification. The information contained herein is intended for
compliance.
A.1.2 Applicability. Defense Supply Center Richmond (DSCR) has instituted a QML
program for wire rope assemblies. The purpose of this program is to establish and maintain a list
of pre-qualified sources for wire rope assemblies governed by MIL-DTL-6117. The criteria for
qualification are tailored along the lines of SAE AS9100, "Quality Management Systems -
Aerospace - Requirements", and best commercial business practices. This appendix contains the
criteria and provisions for the program. The technical requirements and the administrative
procedures of the program are contained in sections A.3 and A.4 of this document.
A.1.3 Participation in QML program. All companies that wish to participate in this
program must have an assigned Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Code and become
DSCR qualified. CAGE Codes may be requested online from https://www.ccr.gov/, or call the
Central Contractor Registration (CCR) Help Desk at (888) 227-2423. To become qualified, a
candidate manufacturer must meet all of the requirements of MIL-DTL-6117 including the
criteria and provision contained in this appendix. Qualification is valid for 2 years unless
terminated or revoked. After the 2-year period of qualification has elapsed, reapplication will be
required. Only QML listed companies will receive awards solicited under this program. The
QML Program application forms, criteria, and provisions are published and maintained by the
Product Development Directorate at DSCR. Requests for copies may be addressed to:

A.2 INTRODUCTION
A.2.1 Objective of QML. Qualification for placement on the QML, and the maintenance
of QML status, requires the manufacturer demonstrate that they have in place, and use on a
routine basis, a Quality Management System (QMS) that meets the criteria set forth in this
document. The objective of the QML Program is to ensure that manufacturers routinely control
their processes to provide consistent delivery of wire rope assemblies that conform to contract
and specification requirements.
A.2.2 Adherence to criteria and provisions. A manufacturer's adherence to the criteria
and provisions in no way changes their responsibility to meet all of the specification and
contractual requirements.
