As prescribed in 11.604(90), insert the following clause in prime vendor, corporate, and other long term contracts:
PRIORITY RATINMG FOR VARIOUS LONG-TERM CONTRACTS ( MARCH 2000 )- DLAD
This contract is assigned a priority rating under the Defense Priorities and Allocations Systems (DPAS) regulation (15 CFR 700) which requires contractors to utilize the assigned rating in obtaining the products, materials, and supplies needed to fill their contracts. Because this contract does not have a specificed delivery date, the basic contract is not rated; however, orders placed against it that include a delivery date are considered rated orders as of the date of receipt by the supplier. In the event the contractor is unable to obtain the necessary products, materials, and supplies to complete the contract, the contractor shall immediately advise the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) representative or the appropriate Defense Supply Center DPAS officer through the cognizant Administrative Contracting Officer or procuring contracting officer. The DPAS officer or the DCMA plant representative will provide necessary assistance or the necessary instructions to complete Department of Commerce (DoC) BXA Form 999, Request for Special priorities Assitance. This form will be processed through appropriate channels to the DoC who will review and take action to make the needed supplies supplies available to the applicant when deemed appropriate.
