6.2 Acquisition requirements. Acquisition documents should specify the following:
a. Title, number, and date of the specification.
b. PIN and compliance identifier, if applicable (see 1.2).
c. Requirements for delivery of one copy of the conformance inspection data pertinent to the device
inspection lot to be supplied with each shipment by the device manufacturer, if applicable.
d. Requirements for certificate of compliance, if applicable.
e. Requirements for notification of change of product or process to contracting activity in addition to
notification to the qualifying activity, if applicable.
f. Requirements for failure analysis (including required test condition of method 5003 of MIL-STD-883),
corrective action, and reporting of results, if applicable.
g. Requirements for product assurance options.
h. Requirements for special lead lengths, or lead forming, if applicable. Unless otherwise specified, these
requirements will not apply to direct purchase by or direct shipment to the Government.
i. Requirement for programming the device, including processing option. The device may be programmed
pre- or post-burn-in, if applicable.
j. Requirements for "JAN" marking.
k. Packaging Requirements (see 5.1)
6.3 Qualification. With respect to products requiring qualification, awards will be made only for products which
are, at the time of award of contract, qualified for inclusion in Qualified Manufacturers List QML-38535 whether or not
such products have actually been so listed by that date. The attention of the 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 purchase orders for
the products covered by this specification. Information pertaining to qualification of products may be obtained from
DSCC-VQ, 3990 E. Broad Street, Columbus, Ohio 43218-3990.
6.4 Superseding information. The requirements of MIL-M-38510 have been superseded to take advantage of the
available Qualified Manufacturer Listing (QML) system provided by MIL-PRF-38535. Previous references to MIL-M-
38510 in this document have been replaced by appropriate references to MIL-PRF-38535. All technical requirements
now consist of this specification and MIL-PRF-38535. The MIL-M-38510 specification sheet number and PIN have
been retained to avoid adversely impacting existing government logistics systems and contractor's parts lists.
6.5 Abbreviations, symbols, and definitions. The abbreviations, symbols, and definitions used herein are defined
in MIL-PRF-38535, MIL-HDBK-1331, and as follows:
GND ............................................ Ground zero voltage potential.
V
IN ............................................... Voltage level at an input terminal
V
IC ................................................ Input clamp voltage
I
IN ................................................. Current flowing into an input terminal
6.6 Logistic support. Lead materials and finishes (see 3.4) are interchangeable. Unless otherwise specified,
microcircuits acquired for Government logistic support will be acquired to device class B (see 1.2.2), lead material
and finish C (see 3.4). Longer length leads and lead forming should not affect the part number. It is intended that
spare devices for logistic support be acquired in the unprogrammed condition (see 3.8.1) and programmed by the
maintenance activity, except where use quantities for devices with a specific program or pattern justify stocking of
preprogrammed devices.
