• Contractors may list their own internal part numbers but must also include the actual manufacturer's part number, lot number, and date of manufacture in parentheses.

• Hardware components must be fully traceable by the original manufacturer's lot identification information or qualified distributor's documentation.

• Materials or components that do not affect the reliability or safety of the end item (e.g., solvents, paints) do not need to be listed on the ADC.

• A "sample" ADC must be generated and approved in WARP before submitting final production lot ADCs.

• A hard copy of the applicable ADC(s) must be included with each shipment.

• Traceability must be positive and verifiable through provided documentation.

• ADCs must meet the format requirements of MIL-STD-1168 and the specifications in this SOW.
