- Technical data access. You may need extra DLA approval to get drawings, and approval may not finish before the due date.
DLA cannot guarantee that it can complete all validation requests by the due date for any solicitation responses.
- Military-only item. The item is made for military use only, so commercial-item shortcuts do not apply.
