MIL-PRF-38535K
5. PACKAGING
5.1 Packaging. For acquisition purposes, the packaging requirements shall be as specified in the contract or order (see
6.2). When packaging of material is to be performed by DoD or in-house contractor personnel, these personnel need to
contact the responsible packaging activity to ascertain packaging requirements. Packaging requirements are maintained by
the Inventory Control Point’s packaging activities within the Military Service of Defense Agency, or within the military service’s
system commands. Packaging data retrieval is available from the managing Military Department’s or Defense Agency’s
automated packaging files, CD-ROM products, or by contacting the responsible packaging activity.
6. NOTES
(This section contains information of a general or explanatory nature that may be helpful, but is not mandatory.)
6.1 Intended use. Microcircuits conforming to this specification are intended for use for Government microcircuit application
and logistic purposes. For maximum cost effectiveness while maintaining essential quality and reliability requirements, it is
recommended that, for initial acquisitions for original equipment complements, the device class appropriate to the need of the
application be acquired.
6.1.1 Class T. As the requirements for class level T are specified in the manufacturer’s Quality Management (QM) plan for
each technology, the user is cautioned to review the manufacturer's QM plan to assure that the part being acquired meets the
requirements/reliability of the system application. Class T is not for use in NASA manned, satellite, or launch vehicle programs
without written permission from the applicable NASA Project Office (e.g., cognizant EEE parts authority).
6.2 Acquisition requirements. Acquisition documents should specify the following:
a. Title, number, and date of the specification.
b. PIN and compliance identification (if applicable).
c. 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 Manufacturer’s List, QML-38535, whether or not such
manufacturers have actually been 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 orders for the products covered by this specification.
Information pertaining to qualification of products may be obtained from DLA Land and Maritime, ATTN: DLA Land and
Maritime-VQ, P.O. Box 3990, Columbus, Ohio 43218-3990.
6.4 Terms and definitions. For the purpose of this specification, the terms, and definitions of MIL-STD-883 and
MIL-HDBK-1331, and those contained herein apply and should be used in the applicable device specifications wherever they
are pertinent.
6.4.1 Microelectronics. The area of electronic technology associated with or applied to the realization of electronic systems
from extremely small electronic parts or elements.
6.4.2 Element (of a microcircuit or integrated circuit). A constituent of the microcircuit, or integrated circuit, that contributes
directly to its operation. (e.g., A discrete part incorporated into a microcircuit becomes an element of the microcircuit.)
