Abstract: The collection of qualified product certification information is authorized by 10 U.S.C. 2319 and subpart 9.2 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), as well as DoDM 4120.24. The purpose of qualification is to ensure continued product performance, quality, and reliability, and to provide for the completion of long or highly complex evaluations and tests prior to and independent of an acquisition or contract. As evidence that the products or processes and materials meet the specifications requirements, it is stated in policy that a self-certification must be done every two years by the manufacturer/distributor.
