scope:

This list has been prepared for use by or for the Government in the procurement of products covered by Specification MIL-P-642. Listing of a product is not intended to and does not connote indorsement of the product by the Department of Defense. All products listed herein have been qualified under the requirements for the product as specified in the latest effective issue of the applicable specification. This list is subject to change without notice; revision or amendment of this list will be issued as necessary. The listing of a product does not release the supplier from compliance with the specification requirements.

THE ACTIVITY RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS QPL IS THE U. S. ARMY COMMUNICATIONS-ELECTRONICS COMMAND (CECOM), Fort Monmouth, NJ 07703-5016. The activity designated as agent for all contacts relative to this QPL is the Defense Electronics Supply Center (DESC-EQ), Dayton, OH 45444-5000.

NOTE: When the detail specification requires qualification and there are no products listed or approved for listing on the QPL, or when suppliers of those products on the QPL are nonresponsive to an IFB, the qualification requirement of paragraph 3.3 of MIL-P-642 may be waived for procurement of Plug, Telephone and Accessory Screws, only by the Preparing Activity. When qualification is waived, procuring activities shall invoke first article inspection which shall consist of performing all qualification tests. The sample size and allowable defects shall be in accordance with the detail specification sheets and MIL-P-642 qualification sampling and acceptance criteria. A copy of the test data shall be forwarded to the qualifying activity.
