What it makes you produce

2 items for your checklist, slowest first.

  1. A program you have to be running

    You are either running it or you are not, and what the prime asks for is the date it started.

    • A marking process and the equipment behind it, putting a MIL-STD-130 data matrix and human-readable text on every item the contract calls out

      DFARS 252.211-7003(c)

  2. A state you have to be in, in a government system

    The record has to be posted before the prime can see it, and posting is not the same day as being ready.

    • An account in the Government's electronic submission system, with each item's record posted through it into the item unique identification registry

      DFARS 252.211-7003(f)

When it is used

Deliverables with a unit acquisition cost ≥ $5,000 (fixed amount, not adjusted), serially managed items, designated embedded items, or items listed by the CO; MIL-STD-130 marking.

Read closely

(c) carries the mark and the data matrix standard; (d) and (e) list what goes in the record for a delivered item and for anything embedded inside it, and (f) is the submission itself. The marking equipment or an outside marking service is a fixed cost that lands before the first part ships.

This is research, not legal advice. It states what the regulation says about this clause and cites the paragraph behind it. It does not rule on your order, and it does not rule on whether a prime's markings are correct.
