MIL-DTL-6000D
6.2.1 Shelf life. This specification covers items where shelf life is a consideration. Specific shelf-life
requirements should be specified in the contract or order. The shelf-life codes are contained in the
Federal Logistics Information System Total item Record. Additive information for shelf-life management
may be obtained from DoD 4120.27-M, Shelf-life Management Manual, or the designated shelf-life Points
of Contact (POC). The POC should be contacted in the following order: (1) the Inventory Control Points
(ICPs), and (2) the DoD Service and Agency administrators for the DoD Shelf-Life Program. Appropriate
POCs for the DoD Shelf-Life Program can be contacted through the DoD Shelf Life Management website:
6.3 Qualification. With respect to products requiring qualification, awards will be made only for
products which are, at the time of award of contract, qualified for inclusion in Qualified Products List QPL
No.6000 whether or not such products have actually been so listed by that date. The attention of the
contractors is called to these requirements, and manufacturers are urged to arrange to have the products
that they propose to offer to the Federal Government tested for qualification in order that they may be
eligible to be awarded contracts or orders for the products covered by this specification. Information
pertaining to qualification of products may be obtained from Defense Supply Center Columbus, P.O. Box
3990, ATTN: DSCC-VQ, Columbus, Ohio 43218-3990 or emailed to vqp.chief@dla.mil.
6.3.1 Provisions governing qualification (SD-6). Copies of "Provisions Governing Qualification" are
available online at https://assist.daps.dla.mil or from the Standardization Document Order Desk, 700
Robbins Avenue, Building 4D, Philadelphia, PA 19111-5094.
6.4 References to superseded specifications. All the requirements of MIL-DTL-6000D are
interchangeable with those of MIL-H-6000D, therefore, previously existing documents (OEM drawings,
etc.) referencing MIL-H-6000 need not be changed.
6.5 Age definition. Since hose is dated by the quarters of the year, it is necessary to judge hose age
in terms of time after the quarter and year of manufacture. Hose manufactured during the first quarter of
any year will not become one quarter old until the second quarter of that year.
6.6 Cross reference data. Table VII shows the cross reference data for size codes originally used in
MIL-DTL-6000 and new size codes following the SAE convention (1/16 of an inch).
