What if a supplier is not ready or able to comply with the IUID requirements?
The September 3, 2004 policy memorandum recognized that situations may arise where small businesses and vendors of commercial products are not prepared to comply with DoD IUID requirements within the cost constraints and/or time frames required for product deliveries. Should this occur, DoD requiring activities whose acquisition will be conducted under the regulations in FAR Part 8 or Part 12 may consider implementing a strategy under which the requiring activity would either: (1) coordinate and fund the furnishing of product IUID data plates, labels or other marking media that meets MIL-STD-130 requirements, including durability, to the commercial vendors for application to products before shipment, or (2) contract with third parties to furnish and apply the IUID markings after product delivery from the commercial vendors.
