4.2.3.1.2 Non-Government standards and other publications. Non-Government standards and other publications including DoD adopted documents not normally furnished by the Government should be listed in appropriate order (numerically or alpha-numeric) under the headings of the respective non-Government standard bodies. Titles should be taken from the document rather than from an index. This listing is included under the following subparagraph.
"2.2 Non-Government publications. The following documents form a part of this document to the extent specified herein. Unless otherwise specified, the issues of documents are the issues of the documents cited in the solicitation."
In addition, the following parenthetical source statement follows each individual publication which may be obtained from a common source:
"(Application for copies should be addressed to the (name and address of the source.)" The following source paragraph is placed at the bottom of the list when applicable.
"(Non-Government standards and other publications are normally available from the organizations which prepare or which distribute the documents. These documents also may be available in or through libraries or other informational services.)"
4.2.3.1.3 Order of precedence. In order to avoid confusion in the possible conflict between the requirements of the drawing and the documents referenced therein, the following statement should be included:
"2.3 Order of precedence. In the event of a conflict between the text of this drawing and the reference cited herein the text of this drawing shall take precedence. Nothing in this document, however, supersedes applicable lows and regulations unless a specified exemption has been obtained. "
4.2.4 Section 3.
4.2.4.1 Requirements. Section 3 of the SMD states the necessary requirements (materials, physical and performance characteristics, processes, reliability, human factors, marking, workmanship, etc.) for obtaining the product which the SMD is prepared. The requirements should represent the actual essential needs of the Government to satisfy the intended use and application. Care should be exercised to ensure that the stated essential
needs result in acquisition of acceptable quality products at the least life cycle cost to the Government. Requirements should be described in a manner to encourage competition and to avoid restrictive features which would limit acceptance to one or a relatively few contractors. Requirements should be so worded as to provide a definite basis
for rejection when testing and examination of product reveals the product is unsuitable for the purpose intended. Care should be exercised to avoid unrealistic or ambiguous requirements and those which conflict with supplier capabilities and referenced documents.
