5. PACKAGING
5.1 Packaging. For acquisition purposes, the packaging requirements shall be as
specified in the contract or order (see 6.2). When packaging of material is to be performed by
DoD or in-house contractor personnel, these personnel need to contact the responsible packaging
activity to ascertain packaging requirements. Packaging requirements are maintained by the
Inventory Control Point's packaging activities within the Military Service or Defense Agency, or
within the military service's system commands. Packaging data retrieval is available from the
managing Military Department's or Defense Agency's automated packaging files, CD-ROM
products, or by contacting the responsible packaging activity.
6. NOTES
(This section contains information of a general or explanatory nature that may be
helpful, but is not mandatory.)
6.1 Intended use. The lockclad control cable assemblies and lockclad material covered
by this specification are intended for use in aircraft control cable systems where low elongation
under tension loads and/or a coefficient of thermal expansion more nearly matching that of a
basically aluminum airframe is desired or required. Where these factors are not significant,
unclad wire rope per MIL-DTL-83420 may be used for avoidance of the weight penalty of
lockclad.
6.2 Acquisition requirements. Acquisition documents should specify the following:
a.
Title, number, and date of this specification.
b.
Type and class of lockclad (see 1.2).
c.
Applicable MS sheet, assembly drawing, or other specification, if required.
d.
Packaging requirements (see 5.1).
6.3 Qualification. With respect to products requiring qualification, awards will be made
only for products that are, at the time of award of contract, qualified for inclusion in
QPL-87218 whether or not such products have actually been so listed by that date. The attention
of contractors is called to these requirements, and manufacturers are urged to arrange to have the
products that they propose to offer to the Federal Government tested for qualification in order
that they may be eligible to be awarded contracts or orders for the products covered by this
specification. Information pertaining to qualification of products may be obtained from Defense
Logistics Agency Aviation, DLA Aviation-VEB, 8000 Jefferson Davis Highway, Richmond, VA
23297-5616 or STDZNMGT@dla.mil. An online listing of products qualified to this
specification may be found in the Qualified Products Database (QPD) at https://assist.dla.mil
