Things to watch
From the version posted Oct 18, 2026.
- Worth checking: Delivery 24 days ADO. Delivery is 24 days after date of order (ADO); check that you can make or source the part in that time.
- Minor: Shipping to depots including outside the continental U.S.. Items go to various CONUS and OCONUS depots via a consolidation and containerization point, so packaging and shipping terms matter; read them in the RFQ.
- Minor: Guaranteed minimum is 217. The notice guarantees a minimum quantity of 217 against QTY 2174, with about 1 order(s) a year.
