Abstract: The information collected is used by DoD to determine if it is appropriate to use the priorities and allocations authority to authorize the placement of a priority rating on a contract or purchase order for production or construction equipment. This is done to assure timely availability of production or construction equipment to meet current national defense requirements. Without this information, DoD would not be able to assess a contractor's stated requirement to obtain timely delivery of the equipment needed for fulfillment of contractual obligations supporting approved programs.
