(a) The
terms of this Contract will cover, with respect only to the Honeywell business
identified in the preamble hereto, those products set forth in Attachment 1-A
(“Standard
Products”) and Attachment 1-B
(“Proprietary
Products”) (collectively, “Products”) ordered
through the expiration of this Contract according to the stated lead-time in
Attachment 1-A
or 1-B, as
applicable. New Products will be automatically added to
Attachments 1-A
and 1-B as set
forth in Section 4(b), and in accordance with the terms and upon the
conditions set forth in this Contract.
(b) The
term of this Contract shall commence on the Effective Date, and shall run for
the period of twenty (20) years (the “Initial

For purposes of the foregoing, the
“Renewal Metric” is as follows:

[…***…]
On or
before September 1 of the calendar year prior to the First Renewal Term or
the Second Renewal Term, Buyer may, at its option, conduct a market test of the
entire portfolio of Products to determine whether Seller’s then-current prices
(on an aggregated basis over the entire portfolio of Products at the forecasted
volumes for the succeeding year) are within […***…] based on bona fide quotes
obtained by Buyer from alternate distributors and provide written notice to
Seller of the results thereof. […***…]
(i)
[…***…] and the prices as so adjusted will be the baseline for future annual
adjustments for the applicable Renewal Term pursuant to Section 5(a) of
this Contract; or
(ii) decline
to enter into the First or Second Renewal Term, as the case may be, unless Buyer
waives such price adjustment by written notice to Seller within
fifteen (15) days after receipt from Seller of its notice of election of
clause (ii); provided that, if Buyer does not waive such price adjustment
as set forth above, the Contract will be deemed to expire as of the end of the
following calendar year, and the parties will follow the transition procedures
set forth in Section 3(a)(iii) and (iv) below, and for purposes of the
application of such procedures to this Section 2(b), […***…]
(c) Releases
for the Products will be issued on individual purchase orders or bin scans by
the applicable business within Honeywell.

This
Contract may be terminated prior to the expiration of its Term (x) upon
mutual agreement of the parties at any time, or (y) by either party
immediately upon written notice, if the other party is dissolved. In
addition to the foregoing,
(a) (i)
[…***…] Buyer may terminate this Contract if Seller is then in Substantial
Non-Compliance, pursuant to the notice provisions set forth in clause (ii)
below.
“Substantial
Non-Compliance” means […***…]
(ii) Buyer
may (but is not required to) give Seller written notice (the “Anticipation Notice”)
in September of any year in which Buyer anticipates that it will provide notice
of actual termination of this Contract at the beginning of the succeeding
calendar year, which Anticipation Notice shall be advisory only and shall not
obligate Buyer to terminate this Contract. Whether or not Buyer has
provided an Anticipation Notice, in the event it elects to terminate this
Contract as set forth in clause (i), Buyer shall provide written notice of
termination (the “Actual Termination
Notice”) in January of the calendar year in which it then has the right
to terminate this Contract pursuant to clause (i), and such termination
will be effective at the end of the Transition Period as defined
below. In the event Buyer provides an Actual Termination Notice,
clauses (iii) and (iv) below will apply. If Buyer gives an
Anticipation Notice and subsequently gives an Actual Termination Notice,

(iii) Except to
the extent Seller needs to purchase additional Products, beyond Products then on
hand or on order, to support Buyer’s needs during the Transition
Period in accordance with forecasts supplied by Buyer on or after Seller’s
receipt of the Actual Termination Notice, Seller shall not purchase additional
inventory after receipt of the Actual Termination Notice. Seller
shall continue to supply Product to Buyer, and Buyer shall continue to purchase
Product from Seller, during the Transition Period. In the event that
Buyer does not purchase all of the Product that Seller buys after receipt of the
Actual Termination Notice in accordance with the first sentence of this
clause […***…] In the event that Buyer does not purchase during
the Transition Period any remaining inventory purchased by Seller prior to
receipt of the Actual Termination Notice in order to meet Buyer’s
then-applicable Annual Baseline Forecast at the time of such purchase,
[…***…].
(iv) […***…]
of the Actual Termination Notice, for avoidance of doubt, the provisions of
Sections 8, 9 and 13 shall continue to apply, except to the extent that
compliance therewith is commercially impracticable primarily because of the
limitations on Seller’s ability to purchase inventory set forth in
clause (iii) above.
(b) Buyer
may terminate this Contract at any time following a Qualifying Change Of Control
of Seller as defined below upon sixty (60) days’ prior written notice for
any material default or breach of any of the terms and conditions of this
Contract by Seller, unless Seller has cured such default or breach within such
sixty (60)-day period after notification of the default or breach. A
“Qualifying Change Of Control” shall be deemed to occur when (i) with
respect to Seller, any transaction or series of related transactions occurs in
which any entity listed in Attachment 4
hereto or any of such entity’s successors or affiliates (a “Listed Party”) would
acquire, directly or indirectly, including pursuant to a sale of assets, tender
offer, exchange offer, merger, consolidation, business combination,
recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction, more than
fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting securities of Seller or all
or substantially all of the assets of Seller, or (ii) assignment or
transfer is made by Seller pursuant to Article 32 of the GPOP to a Listed
Party. Seller will provide Buyer with written notice of any
Qualifying Change Of Control no later than five (5) days after the date
that any binding agreement
is executed in respect of any such Qualifying Change Of Control. Such
termination right shall be in addition to Buyer’s suspension rights under
Section 4(c) to the extent applicable.

(a) Buyer
will issue good faith (but non-binding except as specifically set forth in this
Contract) forecasts by July 31 of each year containing its projected annual
and monthly needs for each Product for the succeeding calendar year (such
July 31 forecast, without regard to subsequent monthly updates thereto, the
“Annual Baseline Forecast”), and may update such forecasts on a monthly
basis. Seller agrees to work to such forecasts and manage its build
schedule to accommodate fluctuations in the forecast. Buyer will
specify, and Seller will use its reasonable best efforts to perform to, the
delivery schedule associated with the most recent forecast provided by
Buyer. Seller shall have the systems in place to meet Buyer’s
forecast requirements. Any amount forecasted by Buyer beyond the
current lead-time is not a firm delivery quantity and Buyer shall have no
liability or financial exposure with respect thereto, except as otherwise
provided in Sections 3 and 4(d).
(b) Subject
to the terms and conditions of this Contract, including without limitation
Section 4(c), Seller agrees to sell and supply to Buyer, and Buyer agrees

of
(i) the
Products listed in Attachments 1-A
and 1-B as of
the Effective Date (the “Initial
Products”);

division (“CS”)
during the twelve (12) months prior to the Effective Date or are being
currently sold by CS as of the Effective Date, and (y) replacements for any
such products (including future revisions or replacements for such replacement
products), which in each case shall be automatically added to Attachment 1-A
or 1-B after
the Effective Date;
(iii) all

replacements for such replacement products), which shall be automatically added
to Attachment 1-B
after the Effective Date; and

revisions or replacements for such products) of the type historically sold by
CS, other than bearings, and historically purchased by Honeywell’s Aerospace
business from commodity distributors in the ordinary course as of the Effective
Date,
in each
case only as required by Honeywell’s Aerospace business, and that are not
covered by its pre-existing purchase commitments […***…] (but only for such
minimum amount of time, without extension, renewal or modification thereof
(unless such extension, renewal or modification is requested by Seller), that
such pre-existing commitments require Buyer to purchase products); provided,
however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, commencing twelve (12) months
prior to the expiration or termination of this Contract, Buyer may identify
an

alternate
vendor for any of the Products and may communicate with, provide information to,
contract with and engage in ramp-up activities with such alternate vendor to
permit Buyer to commence using Products purchased from such alternate vendor
immediately upon the expiration or termination of this
Contract. “Fastener Products” shall mean any Products falling within
any of the following commodity groupings, as determined for each Product by the
nomenclature on the applicable drawing for the Product (or, if the nomenclature
is silent, by the reasonable discretion of Buyer): Bolts, Collars,
Fittings, Grommets, Inserts, Nuts, Pin Systems, Pins, Plugs, Rings, Rivets,
Screws, Studs, Washers or Gaskets. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, it shall not be deemed a breach of the exclusivity obligations in
this Section 4(b) for Buyer to purchase Products from third parties in
connection with the exercise of its rights under (and solely in accordance with)
Sections 13.3 or 13.6(e) of the License Agreement.
(c) […***…] Upon
subsequent cure (as set forth below) of the breach(es) or default(s) giving rise
to Buyer’s suspension right under the preceding sentence, the exclusivity
obligations set forth in Section 4(b) shall be reinstated; provided,
however, that such reinstated exclusivity obligations shall not apply to
purchases made by Buyer from another supplier pursuant to a supply agreement
made during the pendency of such suspension, the term of such supply agreement
not to exceed one year (except that as to Products for which the lead-time is
greater than one year the term of such supply agreement may extend to the
entirety of such lead-time). […***…], Seller’s breach of this
Contract for purposes of Section 4(c)(i) shall be deemed
cured. For the failure to meet the standards set forth in
Section 13, upon Seller providing reasonable evidence to […***…] Seller’s
breach of this Contract for purposes of Section 4(c)(ii) shall be deemed

(d) In
the event that, for any Product, during any period of three consecutive calendar
years during the Term (“Measurement Period”),
Buyer does not purchase such Product in an […***…] Period, then the parties will
determine the amount of unused inventory of such Product that was purchased or
set aside by Seller at the commencement of the Measurement Period for the
purposes of meeting such one-year forecasted quantity (the “Unused
Products”). […***…] As to any of the Unused
Products which Buyer elects not to purchase from Seller, Seller shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to sell such Unused Products to a third party
(which may include for scrap purposes) and to maximize the proceeds
therefrom. […***…]
(a) The
unit prices for Initial Products shall be the prices shown in Attachments 1-A
and 1-B,
including without limitation for spares. […***…] of each year
thereafter during the Term, Seller will provide to Buyer an updated list of
prices for each of the Products to be applicable during the succeeding calendar
year, which will be determined by applying to the prior year’s prices the
percentage increase in or decrease in Seller’s costs of Products from the prior
year (excluding any gap buys) based upon Buyer’s then-applicable Annual Baseline
Forecast, and which Seller will certify complies with the […***…] set forth in
Section 6. In the event that the price for any Product set forth
in the updated list exceeds the price for that Product for the previous year by
a percentage which is greater than […***…]

(more than one quote, where applicable);
(ii) If
applicable, suggest to Buyer the purchase of an alternate Product with same
form, fit, and function at lower cost and, if Buyer so elects, sell such Product
to Buyer on such basis;
(iii) Find
an alternate supplier for the Product, in which event Seller must use reasonable
best efforts to do so. In doing so, Seller will negotiate with any
alternate supplier or manufacturer identified by Buyer for any Product through
market test or otherwise, provided that any such alternate supplier or
manufacturer shall have a supplier assessment score of 3 or higher under Buyer’s
assessment system. Buyer and Seller will each use their respective reasonable
best efforts in connection with the approval process of any such alternate
supplier or manufacturer under this paragraph (iii). For
Standard Parts, such market test mechanism will be applied by taking the best
price quote from such a manufacturer obtained by Buyer (or at Buyer’s request by
Seller) for such Product in a quantity equal to the Buyer’s then-forecasted
annual requirement for such Product, with delivery, lead-time and quality
standards that are reasonably equivalent to those set forth in this Contract;

agency ceases to issue such index, then the “AAFPPI” shall mean the most nearly
equivalent index issued by such agency.

Acquisition Regulations Part 15.4 and otherwise complies with applicable US
government regulations, Seller agrees (A) to use commercially reasonable
efforts to develop with Honeywell pricing for such Products that satisfies the
concerns of the Decisionmaker, or to allow Honeywell to procure that part
through an open tender and be excused, for that procurement only, from the

of Work attached hereto as Attachment 3.
(a) The
current minimum OEM Aerospace Basic Quality System Standard is compliance to
AS9100. Third party registration is not required, but should be the
goal.
(b) In
addition Seller shall, and shall cause its suppliers to:
(i) Conduct
reviews to ensure business systems are compliant with the most recent Honeywell
quality flow-down documents. Honeywell site purchase orders or websites should
be used to validate current flow-down document revisions.
(ii) Attain/maintain
certification/compliance to AS9100, AS9120 and/or other Basic Quality System
standards as dictated by Purchase Order flow-down. Failure to attain/maintain
certification may result in Quality Management System audits to assure Seller
compliance. Audit costs will be the responsibility of Seller if performed by
Honeywell site or authorized audit providers.
(iii) Attain/maintain
a process control system that utilizes the six sigma ‘define, measure, analyze,
improve and control’ methodology and tools. This process control
system will address waste reduction, variability reduction, statistical process
control (SPC) for key characteristics, control plans for key
characteristics/features that exhibit control of product or processes, error
proofing and updates to or creation of First Article Inspection Report (FAIR)
for new parts or changes to parts or processes (other than with respect to
Seller’s inventory acquired from Buyer as of the Effective Date). It
will also manage Key Characteristics per AS9103 as required by Buyer Purchase
Order and/or flowdown requirements.

(iv) To the
extent required by one or more purchase orders, implement and sustain
Manufacturing Process Control (MPC) to establish process-based controls and
reduce process variability. The MPC process approval shall be initiated within
six months after signing this Contract.
(v) Effective
as of the earlier of (i) January 1, 2010 or (ii) the date upon
which the Buyer’s Quality System is transferred to Seller, attain/maintain
Honeywell Source Delegation (SD) or Self-Release (SR) status as required by
Honeywell site flow-down requirements. If unable to achieve, Seller will be
responsible for all costs associated with contracting a Honeywell approved
provider for source inspection. Source inspection will continue until
specified quality levels are achieved for SD or SR status.
(vi) Participate
in e-commerce initiatives such as maintaining a Seller profile, and Seller
quality profiles; obtaining quality flow-down requirements, and Seller Score
Cards via identified Honeywell Internet Portal(s) or websites.
(c) Cost
for First Article will be Seller’s responsibility when imposed by the Honeywell
Purchase Order and/or flow down requirements.
(d) If
required by the Honeywell Purchase Order and/or flow down requirements, Cost of
Poor Quality, when substantiated, will be charged back to Seller if caused by
defective material furnished by Seller.
(e) Implement
new quality e-business initiatives with Buyer as they are developed. Maintain
good standing (no delinquencies) relative to timely responsiveness to corrective
actions, containment and preventative action.
As of the
Effective Date, lead-times will be as set forth in Attachment 1-A
and 1-B (and to
the extent not specified therein Buyer and Seller will establish a baseline
lead-time in writing) and adjusted annually on October 1 of each year for
each of the Products. During the Term, Buyer and Seller will
continuously monitor lead-time performance, use reasonable best efforts to
improve lead-times and amend the lead-times set forth in Attachments 1-A and
1-B to reflect
such improvements. Seller will notify Buyer as soon as identified by
Seller any anticipated inability to meet the agreed upon individual part
lead-time. Seller will be liable for actual and substantiated costs,
including but not limited to gap buys, caused by or resulting from lead-times
greater than the lead-times established as set forth above, other than to the
extent that such longer lead-times are due to changes specified by Buyer in
Products or approved manufacturers, Products revisions or any other Buyer
changes.
(a) Seller
shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain inventories of the Products in
sufficient quantities to fill the orders of Buyer without
delay. […***…]

ramp up to full performance under this Section 13, but shall use its
reasonable best efforts to ramp up as soon as possible within such period of
time. During the Term, Seller will continue to operate the existing
forward stocking locations. Seller will establish additional forward
stocking locations from time to time at Seller’s reasonable discretion to
support Buyer’s requirements on the above terms and conditions.
(b) […***…]
Fill Rate performance will be measured in any calendar quarter based on the
following metric: Buyer will measure the stockout percentage every
week by taking the number of stockout bins as a percentage of total

notwithstanding such efforts […***…].
Mode of
transportation and carrier are to be in accordance with business unit purchase
order instructions. In the absence of shipping instructions for a
specific purchase order or for clarification Seller is to contact Transportation
Department at the appropriate business unit of Buyer.
Each of

non-performance of its obligations hereunder would cause irreparable
harm to the other party, and accordingly, in such event Seller or Buyer, as
applicable, shall be entitled to a temporary, preliminary and/or permanent
injunction or injunctions to enforce specifically the continuing performance of
this Contract and the terms and provisions hereof without the need to prove a
lack of an adequate remedy at law; and in such case, no bond or other security
shall be required in connection therewith.

17. CHANGE
IN PRODUCT, MANUFACTURING PROCESS, SITE, SOURCE OR MATERIAL
(a) Seller
shall not deliver, ship, or substitute a Proprietary Product that has been
changed or a Proprietary Product that has had a process change in its
manufacture until Buyer has approved the change.
(b) In
order to secure this approval, Seller will provide Buyer with a plan to change
the supplier of, or subcontracting of processes required to manufacture, the
Proprietary Product and will obtain Buyer’s written approval of such plan prior
to implementing such change in the supplier of or subcontracting of processes
required for the Proprietary Product.
(c) Seller
shall notify Buyer of any potential program, Proprietary Product, or schedule
changes promptly as it becomes aware of them.
(d) Seller
will flow down this requirement in all its subcontracts and purchase orders for
purchased goods or process related services required for the Proprietary
Product, whether such goods are supplied to Seller as an end item, a component
part of an end item, or an individual piece part.
(e) Buyer
will not unreasonably withhold consent to Seller’s use of alternate sub-tier
supplier arrangements, provided that it shall not be deemed unreasonable for
Buyer to withhold consent if (i) such use of an alternate sub-tier supplier
does not result in a reduction in the prices charged by Seller to Buyer for
Proprietary Products or in more reliable availability; or (ii) Seller has
not demonstrated to Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction that it taken all necessary
actions to avoid negative impacts to Buyer, including, but not limited to,
maintaining additional inventory, overlapping production schedules, and similar
measures.
Seller
agrees that in the event Products are delinquent to Buyer’s purchase orders,
Seller will grant Buyer first priority for Product allocation and
shipments.
Seller
shall keep and maintain proper records and books relating to Seller’s
obligations under Sections 5, 6, 11(b)(ii) and 13 of this Contract, or to
claims made by Seller under Section 10.A or 10.B of the GPOP, throughout
the Term and for one (1) year thereafter
_____Buyer _____Seller
16
and shall
keep them at Seller’s relevant facility. Buyer shall have the right,
during normal business hours, to the extent provided in the relevant sections of
this Contract, to inspect such books and records to verify compliance with the
applicable provisions of this Contract upon reasonable written notice for so
long as such records are required to be maintained (“Audit”). Any
Audit will be conducted at the offices of Seller in a manner that does not
unreasonably interfere with the business activities of Seller. Any
Audit shall be at the cost and expense of Buyer unless the Audit determines that
Seller has materially violated its obligations under this Contract, in which
case Seller shall pay the reasonable cost of the Audit. If any Audit
reveals a failure of Seller’s performance of any of its obligations under the
specified Sections of this Contract, then, upon receiving written notice of such
failure in performance, Seller shall promptly (but in any event within
fourteen (14) days of receiving such notice) (i) make any payments
(for rebates or otherwise) to Buyer that it would have made had such failure not
existed; and (ii) develop a corrective action plan in cooperation with
Buyer to prevent like failures in the future, such plan to be subject to Buyer’s
approval, and promptly thereafter implement such plan at Seller’s sole cost and
expense.

This
Contract, including those additional terms or conditions incorporated herein by
reference and made a part hereof, constitutes the entire Contract between the
Parties with respect to the matters contained herein. No modification
of the Contract or waiver or addition to any of its terms and conditions shall
be binding upon either party unless made in writing and signed by the parties’
authorized representatives. The failure or delay by Buyer to exercise
any rights or remedies hereunder shall not operate as a general waiver
thereof.
(a) As
used in this Contract, “Confidential Information” shall mean (i) the terms
and conditions of this Contract, excluding the existence of this Contract, and
(ii) all information, data and materials that either party (the “Receiving Party”)
obtains from the other (the “Disclosing Party”)
under this Contract (x) which is marked as confidential, or (y) which
the Receiving Party should reasonably know, by its nature or the manner of its
disclosure, to be confidential that the Receiving Party may receive or have
access to in connection with this Contract. The Receiving Party acknowledges and
agrees that (A) Confidential Information constitutes valuable trade secrets
of the Disclosing Party, and is not within the public domain, (B) the
Disclosing Party has and shall retain exclusive (except as expressly provided
herein) valuable property rights in and to Confidential Information,
(C) Confidential Information shall remain valuable trade secrets
proprietary to the Disclosing Party unless and until the Disclosing Party places
Confidential Information in the public domain or authorizes placement of the
Confidential Information in the public domain, and (D) but for this
Contract, the Receiving Party would have no rights in or access to the
Confidential Information.
(b) Notwithstanding
Section 23(a), Confidential Information does not include, or shall cease to
include as appropriate, information that (i) is lawfully received free of
restriction from another source that, to the Receiving Party’s knowledge or
knowledge it should have, has the right to furnish such information;
(ii) has become generally available to the public by acts not attributable
to the Receiving Party or its employees, subcontractors, consultants or
advisors; or (iii) at the time of disclosure to the Receiving Party, was
known to the Receiving Party free of restriction. Only the specific information
that meets such exclusions will be excluded, and not any other information that
happens to appear in proximity to such excluded portions (for example, a portion
of a document may be excluded without affecting the confidential nature of those
portions that do not themselves qualify for exclusion).
_____Buyer _____Seller
18
(c) The
Receiving Party shall not use the Confidential Information for any purpose
except in performance of its obligations hereunder or to exercise the rights
granted to it hereunder. The Receiving Party shall keep all
Confidential Information in strict confidence. The Receiving Party
shall not, without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party, disclose,
in any manner or via any media whatsoever, any Confidential Information, other
than to its employees, manufacturing agents, resellers, consultants and
contractors (“Representatives”)
(i) who have a specific need to know such Confidential Information in order
to exercise the Receiving Party’s rights hereunder, and (ii) who
are informed of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information, and
(iii) who agree in writing to act in accordance with and be bound by terms
and conditions at least as restrictive as the terms and conditions herein
regarding the safeguarding and disclosure of Confidential
Information.
(d) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the event disclosure of Confidential Information by the
Receiving Party is mandated by applicable law, rule or regulation, or by an
order of a court or governmental or law enforcement agency or other authority,
each of competent jurisdiction, then (i) the Receiving Party will promptly
notify the Disclosing Party of such requirement, provided that such notice is
not prohibited by a regulatory, law enforcement other governmental authority or
an order of court of competent jurisdiction, and (ii) the Receiving Party
shall use good faith efforts, in consultation with the Disclosing Party, to
challenge such disclosure or, failing in such challenge, secure a protective
order or other appropriate confidential treatment of the Confidential
Information so disclosed. Any such required disclosure shall not alter the
nature of the information so disclosed as Confidential Information for purposes
of this Contract.
(e) The
Receiving Party will be responsible for any breach of this Section 23 by
any of its Representatives. The Receiving Party shall notify the
Disclosing Party immediately upon discovery of any unauthorized disclosure
(inadvertent or otherwise), and shall, within thirty (30) days of such
notice (i) use reasonable best efforts to cure such unauthorized disclosure
of Confidential Information; (ii) take all reasonable precautions to
prevent any such unauthorized disclosure in the future; and (iii) cooperate
in good faith with the Disclosing Party to assist the Disclosing Party to regain
possession of its Confidential Information and/or to prevent further
unauthorized use or disclosure.
(f) The
Receiving Party acknowledges and agrees that the violation of its obligations
under this Section 23 would cause irreparable harm to the Disclosing Party,
which harm may not be compensable solely by monetary damages, and that,
therefore, in the event of an actual or threatened breach by the Receiving Party
of this Section 23, the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to injunctive
and other equitable relief, without the necessity of proving monetary damages or
posting bond or other security. Any such equitable relief granted
shall be without limitation of or prejudice to any other rights and remedies as
the Disclosing Party may have under this Contract.

GENERAL
PURCHASE ORDER PROVISIONS
1. ACCEPTANCE
ENTIRE AGREEMENT MODIFICATION. These
General Purchase Order Provisions apply to all orders for the purchase and sale
of goods and services made under this Contract (the goods and services described
in such orders, hereinafter, “Items”). All
capitalized terms not defined in these General Purchase Order Provisions shall
have the meaning assigned to them elsewhere in this
Contract. Acceptance of each order shall be limited to the terms and
conditions contained herein and incorporated herein by
reference. Each order shall be deemed accepted upon the return of the
acknowledgment copy of such order or the commencement of performance by
Seller. Buyer rejects any additional or inconsistent terms and
conditions offered by Seller at any time, whether or not such terms or
conditions materially alter the order and irrespective of Buyer’s acceptance of
or payment for Items. These terms and conditions constitute the
entire agreement between the parties and no change to or modification of any
order shall be binding upon Buyer unless in writing and signed by an authorized
representative of Buyer’s procurement or purchasing office at Buyer’s place of
business issuing such order.
2. PROTECTION
OF PROPERTY AND INFORMATION.
A. PROPERTY.
(1) For
the purpose of these General Purchase Order Provisions, “Property” shall mean
all materials, equipment, tools, and facilities, if any, furnished to Seller by
Buyer, or paid for by Buyer under any order, as well as any replacements
thereof.
(2) Title
to all Property shall be vested in Buyer with the right to demand possession at
any time. Seller may use Property only in the performance of work for
Buyer. Buyer does not warrant any aspect of the
Property.
(3) Seller
bears the risk of loss of all Property that is in the custody or control of
Seller or any supplier or subcontractor to whom Seller delivers Property as
permitted under Article 2.A.(6), below.
(4) Seller
will establish and maintain a system to control, protect, preserve, and maintain
all Property in good condition and repair. All Property is subject to
removal and return at Buyer’s written request, in which event Seller, at Buyer’s
expense, will prepare such Property for shipment and deliver it to Buyer in the
same condition as originally received by Seller, reasonable wear and tear
excepted.
(5) Upon
completion or termination of each order, Seller will retain, or cause the third
party to which Seller is permitted to deliver custody pursuant to
Section 2.A(6) to retain, all Property at its expense until disposition
directions are received from Buyer.
1
(6) Seller
may not deliver custody of any Property to any person or entity other than Buyer
without Buyer’s prior written permission not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. If with Buyer’s prior written permission Seller furnishes
Property to any supplier or subcontractor of Seller for use in performance of
Buyer’s orders, Seller shall (i) insert the substance of this
Section 2.A in all orders to such supplier or subcontractor; and
(ii) remain responsible hereunder for any breach by such supplier or
subcontractor of this Section 2.A.
B. [INTENTIONALLY
OMITTED]
C. AFTERMARKET
ACTIVITY.
(1) For
the purpose of these General Purchase Order
Provisions: (i) “Controlled Product” shall mean anything
designed, developed, or created using Buyer’s Confidential Information (“Information”);
(ii) “Buyer Part” shall mean any component, part, or detail of any
component or part, designed, manufactured and/or sold by Buyer; and
(iii) “Aftermarket Activity” shall mean transactions (including sales to
third parties, including the U.S. Government) for products or services by Seller
related to or based on the following: (a) creating a repair for
a Buyer part; (b) designing a new part that is similar or identical to a
Buyer Part; (c) comparing a Buyer Part design with another part design;
(d) obtaining Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA) from the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) pursuant to Part 21.303 of the Federal Aviation
Regulations; (e) obtaining approval from a Designated Engineering
Representative (DER) under FAA Order 8110.4 to repair a Buyer Part; or
(f) obtaining any other governmental approval to manufacture or repair a
Buyer Part.
(2) Except
pursuant to Buyer’s prior written permission, Seller shall not use (or assist
others in using) Information to engage in Aftermarket Activity.
(3) Except
to the extent permitted by the License Agreement, Seller must obtain Buyer’s
written permission before selling any Controlled Product or Proprietary Product
to any third party purporting to purchase Products under authority of
Buyer.
D. TRAINING
OF EMPLOYEES. Seller will maintain adequate processes to protect
Buyer’s Property and Information from improper use and/or disclosure, and will
train its employees appropriately to follow such processes.
E. [INTENTIONALLY
OMITTED]
3. DELIVERIES
AND SHIPMENTS. Delivery
of Items in accordance with the schedule are a material requirement of each
order. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE. Seller will, at its
expense, ship by express or air shipment or by the most expeditious way if the
delivery schedule is endangered for any reason other than Buyer’s
fault. Buyer reserves the right to reject all or any part of any
delivery that varies from the quantity authorized by Buyer for
shipment. All Items shall be packaged in accordance with Buyer’s
instructions or, if none are specified, in accordance with good commercial
practice in a manner sufficient to ensure arrival in an undamaged
condition. Items shipped in advance of Buyer’s delivery schedule and
outside the applicable interval set forth in the last sentence of
Section 8(a) of the Contract may be returned at Seller’s
expense. If requested by Buyer, Seller shall give notice of shipment
to Buyer at the time of delivery of any shipment of Items to a carrier for
transportation.
2
4. PERFORMANCE
ASSURANCE PLAN. At
Buyer’s direction, Seller will provide Buyer with a Performance Assurance Plan
prepared in accordance with procedures established by Buyer showing Seller’s
work in process and yield factors for each major process step. Buyer
may impose this plan where, in Buyer’s opinion, there is a significant risk in
meeting performance or delivery requirements. The Performance
Assurance Plan will demonstrate Seller’s work in process and yield factors in
Seller’s format.
5. INSPECTION. Notwithstanding
(i) payment, (ii) passage of title, or (iii) prior inspection or
test, all Items are subject to final inspection and acceptance or rejection by
Buyer at Buyer’s facility. At all reasonable times, including the
period of manufacture, Buyer, its customers, and/or representatives of the FAA
or other cognizant aviation regulatory bodies may inspect and/or test the Items
to be furnished hereunder at the places where the work is being performed,
including those of the Seller’s suppliers, and Seller shall provide, without
additional charge, reasonable facilities and assistance for safe and convenient
inspection and test. Buyer may inspect 100% or a sample of all Items
or any lot of Items at Buyer’s option, and Buyer shall have the right to reject
all or any portion of the Items or lot of Items if any such inspection reveals
them to be, in Buyer’s sole opinion, defective or
nonconforming. Seller shall provide and maintain a test and
inspection system acceptable to Buyer and its customers, if
required. Records of all inspection work by Seller shall be kept
complete and available to Buyer and its customers during the performance hereof
and for seven (7) years after final payment by Buyer or for such longer period
as may be specified elsewhere
6. WARRANTY.
A. Seller
warrants to Buyer, its successors and customers that for a period of twenty-four
(24) months after acceptance of Items, that all Items furnished to Buyer
(i) will be free from defects in material and workmanship; (ii) will
conform to applicable drawings, designs, quality control plans, specifications,
and samples; (iii) will be merchantable; (iv) will be fit for the
particular purpose for which they are intended; (v) will comply with all
laws; and (vi) will be free from liens and other encumbrances, and, to the
extent an order calls for services to be performed, that such services will be
free from defects in workmanship, will meet all of the requirements of each
order and will be performed to the highest standards of workmanship in the
industry (all of which are hereinafter collectively called “Conforming
Items”).
B. In
the event Conforming Items are not furnished, within twenty (20) days after the
non-Conforming Item is returned to Seller, Seller shall at its cost repair,
correct or replace (at Buyer’s election among these alternatives) such
non-Conforming Items. The failure of Seller to repair or replace and
redeliver such non-Conforming Items within such twenty (20) day period shall
entitle Buyer, at its election and in addition to any other rights or remedies
it may have at law or in equity, to have such non-Conforming Items corrected at
Seller’s expense. In addition to the costs of repairing or replacing
such non-Conforming Items Seller agrees that, notwithstanding the provisions of
any warranties, expressed or otherwise, negotiated with respect to Items
purchased from Seller by Buyer or Buyer’s customers, Seller shall reimburse
Buyer for labor and material cost, including overhead and general administrative
(G&A) expense reasonably incurred by Buyer in connection
with: (i) the unscheduled removal and/or replacement of such
Items or components thereof from a higher level assembly due to failure of such
Items to conform to requirements of the applicable order or defective material,
workmanship, or design; (ii) any such removal of said Items at Seller’s
request; or (iii) any such removal of said Items required due to any
previously required changes to said Items which Seller has failed to
incorporate.
3
C. The
warranty period shall be suspended upon notice that non-Conforming Items have
been furnished until they have been repaired or replaced and redelivered to
Buyer postage or freight prepaid, or in the case of nonconforming services, have
been corrected. The un-expired portion of the warranty shall be
applicable to the repaired, replaced or corrected Conforming Items.
7. CHANGES.
A. Buyer
may, at any time, by a written change order, without notice to any sureties,
make changes in any one or more of the following: (i) drawings,
designs, specifications, where the Items to be furnished are to be specially
manufactured for the Buyer in accordance therewith; (ii) method
of shipment or packing; (iii) place or time of inspection,
delivery, or acceptance; (iv) the quantity and/or type of services ordered,
(v) the work or service schedules, or (vi) the amount of any Buyer
furnished property. No claim by Seller for adjustment hereunder shall be allowed
unless made in writing for a specified amount within twenty (20) days from the
date notice of any such change is received by Seller. If Seller
considers that the conduct, statement or direction of any of Buyer’s employees
constitutes a change hereunder, Seller shall notify Buyer’s authorized
representative and take no action on the perceived change pending written
approval of Buyer’s authorized representative. Only Buyer’s
authorized representative has authority to approve a change. Any
change made by Seller without such written approval shall be deemed voluntary by
Seller and not compensable in the cost of or time required for
performance. Nothing in this Article shall excuse Seller from
proceeding with performance of the affected order as changed.
B. Notwithstanding
the above or any other provision of these General Purchase Order Provisions,
Seller hereby agrees that any changes that are made to meet the specified
performance requirements of any order shall not entitle Seller to any adjustment
in either price or delivery.
8. DESIGN
CHANGES. During
performance of any order, Seller shall not make any changes in the design of
Items to be furnished by Seller under such order without advance written
notification to and written approval of Buyer. The above requirement
applies whether or not there is a cost impact associated with the change and
regardless of the type of change involved, including product
improvements.
4
9. STOP
WORK ORDERS. Buyer
may, at any time by written order, require Seller to stop all or any part of the
work under any order for a period of up to one hundred twenty (120) days after
delivery of such stop work order, and for any further period as the parties may
agree. Immediately upon receipt of such stop work order, Seller shall
comply with its terms and take all reasonable steps to minimize the incurring of
costs allocable to the work stoppage. At any time during such period,
Buyer may, in whole or in part, either cancel the stop work order or terminate
the affected order in accordance with Article 10.A., Termination, of these
General Purchase Order Provisions. To the extent the stop work order
is canceled or expires, Seller shall resume work. If a stop work
order is the sole and exclusive cause of a material change in cost or delivery,
an adjustment shall be made in the price (excluding profit) or the delivery
schedule, or both and the affected order modified accordingly; provided,
however, that no adjustment in price or delivery shall be made under this
Article If, (i) the work would have been otherwise interrupted or delayed,
or (ii) such adjustment is available or expressly excluded under any other
provision of such order or these General Purchase Order
Provisions. No claim for adjustment shall be allowed unless submitted
to Buyer in writing in a specified amount within twenty (20) days after the work
is terminated or the stop work order expires or is canceled whichever first
occurs.
10. TERMINATION.
A. By
written notice, Buyer may terminate any order or any part thereof, for its sole
convenience. In the event of such termination, Seller shall
immediately stop all work hereunder and shall immediately cause all of its
suppliers and subcontractors to cease work. Subject to the terms of
these General Purchase Order Provisions, Seller shall be paid a portion of the
order price reflecting the actual costs incurred for the work performed prior to
the notice of termination, plus reasonable charges Seller can demonstrate to the
satisfaction of Buyer using its standard record keeping system, that have
resulted from the termination. Seller shall submit its claim no later
than six (6) months after receipt of the termination notice. Seller
shall make reasonably available to Buyer or Buyer’s representative, any books,
records and papers supporting its claim and such claims shall be subject to the
audit provisions of Section 19 of the Contract. Seller shall not
be paid for any work performed or costs incurred which should have been
avoided. Upon Buyer’s payment to Seller in accordance with this
Section 10.A., title to all equipment, materials, work-in-progress, special
tooling, finished products, and anything acquired for the affected order, and
any plans, drawings, specifications, Information, and other things that would
have been required to be delivered to Buyer, shall vest in Buyer.
B. By
written notice, Buyer may terminate any order in whole or in
part: (i) if Seller fails or refuses to perform in accordance
with any of the requirements of such order or of the Contract with respect to
such order, or to make progress so as to endanger performance hereunder (a
“Default”),
(ii) if Seller becomes insolvent or suspends any of its operations or if
any petition is filed or proceeding commenced by or against Seller (whether
voluntary or involuntary) under any federal or state law, or under any
agreement, instrument, security interest, or similar arrangement, relating to
bankruptcy, arrangement among debtor and creditors, reorganization, receivership
or assignment for the benefit of creditors, (iii) if Seller fails to
provide Buyer, upon request, with adequate assurances of future performance of
the affected order within the time period requested by Buyer, or (iv) if
Seller engages in any use or disclosure of Information that is not expressly
permitted under the terms of these General Purchase Order Provisions or
Section 23 of the Contract. Any such termination will be without
liability to Buyer except for completed Items delivered and accepted by Buyer,
payment for which can be set off against damages to Buyer. Buyer
shall also have the right to remove any Product of the type affected by such
termination from the scope of the exclusivity obligations set forth in
Section 4(b) of the Contract. Buyer may require Seller to
transfer title and deliver to Buyer any or all property produced or procured by
Seller for performance of the work completed as of the termination and Seller
shall be credited with the reasonable value thereof not to exceed Seller’s
actual incurred costs or the order price, whichever is less. Seller
will be liable for actual and substantiated damages caused by or resulting from
its material default including but not limited to excess costs of
re-procurement. If, after a termination of an order pursuant to
clause (i), (iii), or (iv) of this Section 10.B., it is determined
that Seller was not in Default, that adequate assurances had been provided, or
that Seller had a legal right to use or disclose Information, the termination
shall be deemed a termination of such order for convenience in accordance with
Section 10.A. Buyer or its designee shall have the right to
audit all elements of any termination claim pursuant to Section 19 of the
Contract and Seller shall make available to Buyer or Buyer’s designee on request
all books, records, and papers relating thereto. Termination of an
order pursuant to this Section 10.B. shall be without prejudice to any
other rights and remedies of Buyer under the Contract, other provisions of these
General Purchase Order Provisions, law or equity.
5
C. To
the extent an order is not terminated pursuant to Sections 10.A. or 10.B.,
above, Seller shall continue performance.
11. EXCUSABLE
DELAYS. Neither
party shall be in default for any delay or failure to perform hereunder due to
causes beyond its control despite the exercise of all commercially reasonable
efforts, and without its fault or negligence; provided, that any delay or
failure to perform caused by the default of a supplier of Seller at any
lower-tier shall be excused only if (i) it is beyond the control of both
Seller and such supplier and without the fault or negligence of either,
(ii) the parts to be furnished are not obtainable from other sources in
sufficient time to permit Seller to meet the delivery schedule, and
(iii) Seller furnishes prompt written notice to Buyer of the occurrence of
any such cause that will or may delay Seller’s performance; and that no delay or
failure to perform shall be excused if it is caused by a labor strike, stoppage,
slow-down or other labor dispute. If delivery of any Item is delayed
by any excusable delay for more than forty-five (45) days, Buyer may, without
any additional extension, cancel all or part of any order with respect to the
delayed Item without liability, and exercise any of its remedies in accordance
with Article 10.B.
12. PRICES,
TAXES AND NEW MATERIAL. Seller
warrants that none of the items furnished under any order are surplus, used,
remanufactured or reconditioned or of such age or so deteriorated as to impair
the usefulness or safety thereof, unless otherwise specifically stated on the
face of the applicable order. Unless otherwise provided on the face
of the applicable order, THE PRICES APPEARING THEREIN INCLUDE ALL PACKAGING,
CRATING, AND FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL TAXES, IF APPLICABLE, AND ARE FIRM FOR
THE DELIVERY PERIOD SHOWN, AND IN THE EVENT OF ANY CONFLICT BETWEEN THE PRICES
SET FORTH IN AN ORDER AND THE PRICES SET FORTH IN THE CONTRACT, THE PRICES SET
FORTH IN THE CONTRACT SHALL CONTROL.
6
13. [INTENTIONALLY
OMITTED]
14. [INTENTIONALLY
OMITTED]
15. INJUNCTIVE
RELIEF. Nothing contained herein shall operate to waive or limit
Buyer’s right to seek injunctive relief with respect to any breach or threatened
breach by Seller of its obligations under these General Purchase Order
Provisions.
16. PATENT,
TRADEMARK AND COPYRIGHT INDEMNITY. To the extent Seller obtains or
has such right or protection from a sub-tier supplier, Seller shall do the
following: Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer from any
and all damages, costs, including legal fees, losses, and liabilities resulting
from a suit, claim, or proceeding of alleged infringement of any Intellectual
Property rights by reason of the sale or use of any Item sold to Buyer
hereunder, and from reasonable expenses incurred by Buyer in defense of such
suit, claim, or proceeding if Seller does not undertake the defense thereof;
provided, that Seller is notified of any such suit and, except for suits against
the U.S. Government, Buyer offers Seller full and exclusive control of the
defense of such suit, claim, or proceeding when Items of Seller only are
involved therein or the right to participate in the defense of such suit, claim,
or proceeding when products other than those of Seller are also involved
therein; except that, this indemnity shall not extend to infringement resulting
solely from Seller’s compliance with Buyer’s specific designs. In the
event of an injunction or restraining order, Seller shall, at its own expense,
either procure for Buyer the right to continue to sell and use the Item, or
replace or modify the Item so that it becomes non-infringing. Seller
shall also indemnify Buyer’s customers and agents for such infringement if and
to the extent that Buyer has agreed so to indemnify them, but to no greater
extent than Seller has indemnified Buyer herein and under the same conditions as
set forth herein.
17. INDEMNIFICATION. Seller
shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, its directors, officers, employees,
agents and invitees from and against all liability, demands, claims, losses,
costs, damages, and expenses, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees, by
reason or on account of property damage, death, and personal injury of
whatsoever nature or kind arising out of, as a result of, or in connection with
the performance of any order or the Contract that is occasioned by the willful
or negligent actions or omissions of, or material breach of the Contract by,
Seller or its suppliers or subcontractors at any tier.
18. INSURANCE. Seller
will maintain and carry liability insurance which includes but is not limited to
commercial general liability (including product liability and for services to be
performed, completed operations liability) in a sum no less than $5 million,
automobile liability in a sum no less than $5 million, workmen’s compensation in
an amount no less than the applicable statutory minimum requirement and
employer’s liability in an amount of no less than $1 million, with insurance
carriers acceptable to Buyer. Seller will, if requested by Buyer,
furnish certificates of insurance from its carrier(s) on the foregoing
coverages, which shall provide that such coverage shall not be changed without
thirty (30) days advance written notification to Buyer from the
carrier(s).
19. KEY
PERSONNEL. Seller’s personnel listed or identified as Key Personnel
in any order are considered by Buyer to be critical to the successful
performance of such order, and were a substantial factor in Buyer’s decision to
award such order to Seller. Buyer may consider any change by Seller
in its Key Personnel as grounds for termination of any affected order under
Section 10.B.
7
20. PERFORMANCE
OF INDIVIDUALS. Upon determination by Buyer, at any time, that the
performance of Seller’s employees assigned to the work under any
order does not meet Buyer’s required standards, which shall be
consistent with the industry and reasonable and upon notification to Seller of
such determination, the failure of Seller to take appropriate corrective action
satisfactory to Buyer will be a cause for Buyer termination of such order under
Section 10.B.
21. STANDARDS
OF CONDUCT, INTEGRITY, AND COMPLIANCE. Honeywell conducts its
business in strict compliance with applicable laws, rules, and regulations with
honesty and integrity and with a strong commitment to the highest standards of
business ethics. In addition, it is the policy of Honeywell to enter
into representation or supplier agreements only with companies which have a
demonstrated record of, and commitment to, the highest ethical
standards. Seller agrees that Seller will, at all times, adhere to
the standards set forth in Honeywell’s “Code of Business Conduct” (hereinafter
“Code”) and
will fully comply and take all necessary steps to assist Buyer in complying with
the Code as well as any other customary standards of business conduct prescribed
by law or regulation. A copy of the Code may be obtained at
xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxxx/xxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx. Seller
shall, at all times, carefully comply with all rules, laws and regulations
pertaining to entertainment or providing gratuities.
22. NOTICE
TO BUYER OF LABOR DISPUTES. Whenever Seller has knowledge that any
actual or potential labor dispute is delaying or threatens to delay the timely
performance of each order, Seller shall immediately give notice thereof,
including all relevant information with respect thereto, to
Buyer. Seller shall include this paragraph in each lower-tier
subcontract under any order.
23. SELLER’S
STATUS. It is understood and agreed that Seller and/or its employees
engaged in the performance of the Contract and/or any order by Seller, are not
employees of Buyer and are not entitled to Buyer employee benefits or privileges
or any payment from Buyer (other than as expressly provided for in
any order) and the Seller shall pay the salaries or expenses, applicable taxes,
including Social Security and unemployment of said employees. Seller
shall also pay any expenses normally paid by an employer in connection with its
employees assigned to Buyer. The Seller is and shall be deemed to be
an Independent Contractor at all times during its performance of the work
specified in each order.
A. If
Seller has received technical data, manufacturing drawings, specifications,
software or similar type items from Buyer, it is the responsibility of Seller to
ensure compliance with all U.S. export laws and regulations. These
laws include, but are not limited to, (i) Section 38 of the Arms
Export Control Act as enumerated in 22 CFR Parts 120-130, the International
Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), and (ii) Export Administration Act of
1979, as amended in 15 CFR Parts 730-774 of the Export Administration
Regulations (EAR).
8
B. No
technical data, manufacturing drawings, specifications, software or similar type
items shall be transferred, disclosed or exported to “Foreign Persons” without
specifically obtaining approvals from the U.S. Department of State’s Office of
Defense Trade Controls or from the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of
Industry and Security, as required.

MHl0.8.2-1995.
D. Definitions.
(1) Bar
Code Symbol - An array of rectangular marks and spaces in a predetermined
pattern. A bar code symbol contains a leading quiet zone, start
character, data characters, stop character, and a trailing quiet
zone.
(2) Element
- A generic term used to refer to either a bar or a space.
(3) Intercharacter
Gap - The space between the last element of one character and the first element
of the adjacent character of a discrete bar code.
7
(4) Label

Zone - The area immediately preceding the start character and following the stop
character and which contains no markings.
(6) Shipment
- An incremental delivery of one Part Number, Purchase Order (PO) and item
number.
(7) Data
Identifier - One or more standard characters preceding the data in a bar
code.
E. Label
Characteristics.
(1) The
label must contain a minimum of five (5) rows of bar coded data. The
upper left quadrant will contain the Seller’s name and address who shipped the
package, total weight of the PO Item being shipped, and the address where the
package is to be delivered as referenced on the PO. The entire label
with other associated Data Elements required is shown in Figure 1
attached.
(2) Minimum
label height must be 4.0 inches (102mm) with horizontal lines (rows),
spaced 0.5 inch (13mm) to 0.94 inches (24mm) apart, that extend the full
width of the label. The actual height of the rows is determined by
Seller, or printer of the label, based on printer technology.
(3) Minimum
label width will be 6.0 inches (153mm). Seller, or printer of
the label, determines the width based on the amount of data to be encoded and
the density capabilities of the equipment to be used for printing the
labels.
(4) Labels
must contain black lines and lettering with a white background.
F. Human
Readable Characteristics.
(1) The
label’s top row will contain only full width human readable
print. Vertical and horizontal lines separating information are
optional.
(2) Table
1, attached, describes the bar code human readable characteristics and minimum
height of the characters.
(3) The
data encoded in the bar code symbol must be defined in human readable characters
at a minimum height of 0.01 inch (0.25mm) above the bar code symbol and left
justified. The human readable print will not include the data
identifier or the start/stop characters, and will start 0.0625 inches
(1.588mm) from the left edge.
8
G. Bar
Code Characteristics. All bar codes shall be left justified in the
lower half of the row and only one bar code is permitted per row. The height of
all bar codes shall be a minimum of 0.5 inch (12.75mm).
H. Significant
and Non-Significant Zeros.
(1) Significant
leading/trailing zeros are those which are part of a PO number, part number,
item number or shipping document number and must be included when the bar code
and/or human readable characters are printed.
(2) Non-significant
leading zeros in the data string must be suppressed when the bar code and/or
human readable characters are printed.
(3) Trailing
blanks on part numbers and shipping document numbers are suppressed on the bar
code and at no time shall spaces be included in the bar coded data.
I. Title. A
title will be left justified and printed in the upper half of the
row. The title specifies the data type (e.g., Packing List
Number).
J. Data
Identifiers. Data identifiers correspond to a specific title
enumerated on the PO which is per ANSI MHl0.8.2 - 1995. Data
identifiers shall be used in all bar codes. Data identifiers will be
added in human readable form directly below each title. Table 2,
attached, provides data identifiers which must be included on all shipping
labels.
K. Definition
of Descriptions. The following must be included on all shipping
labels:
(1) The
Prefix, PO and Item number which shall consist of a three digit numeric prefix,
six digit PO and three digit item number in one bar code. Prefix, PO
and Item number shall be as listed on the Buyer PO. PO suffix shall not be bar
coded. Illustration 1, attached, may be used as a guide in locating the required
information on Buyer’s PO. Total length is fourteen characters with no zero
suppression. The composition of the Prefix, PO, and Item number is as
follows:
Examples: 000-000000-000
114-A68452-023
NOTE: Dashes
have a significant meaning and must be bar coded.
(2) The
Part Number shall be the purchased part number which contains a maximum of
twenty-four (24) characters. See Illustration 1.
9
(3) Total
quantity and UM. The total quantity (Qty) is a maximum of eight (8)
characters and the Unit of Measure (UM) is a maximum of four (4) characters as
called out on the PO. The (UM) is displayed in human readable form, but is not
bar coded. Table 3 contains standard UM’s. See Illustration 1.
(4) Packing
List No. will contain a maximum of eight (8) characters. If the
number exceeds eight characters, only the last eight characters are bar coded on
the label.
(5) No.
of Container shall include the container number as well as the total number of
containers in the shipment in human readable form; however, only the total
number of containers is bar coded (example: bar code for container 1
of 5 would scan NQ5, bar code for container 2 of 5 would scan NQ5,
etc.).
L. Label
Location, Shipping Instructions, and Protection. A label shall be
located and affixed to the outer surface of each shipping container. (See Figure
2.) A duplicate must be included with the Packing List.
M. Bar
Code Placement.
(1) Rectangular
Packages - The bar code symbol will be located on one side panel. The
bar code should be 2.0 inches above the bottom of the container, and the
right edge of the bar code label shall be 2.0 inches from the side edge of
the container, when possible.
(2) Curved
Surfaces - The bar code shall be placed on the lower quarter of the panel,
located 1.5 inches below the top edge of the package.
(3) Irregular
Shapes - For irregularly shaped containers and bundles without a visibly
suitable surface, a wired tag with the label affixed shall be attached so as to
be visible from the outside.
(4) The
leading and trailing edge of the quiet zone must be at least 0.75 inch (19mm)
away from all edges of the container or wired tag.
(5) When
shipping more than one container per PO, the bar code label shall be applied to
all containers. For example, if one order consists of three (3) boxes
(all same part number), the containers are bar code labeled “1 of 3,” “2 of 3”
and “3 of 3” in Human Readable characteristics in the container number
field. The bar code contains only the total quantity of all
three (3) boxes.
(6) Multiple
PO’s consolidated into one shipping container must be individually packaged and
properly identified and bar coded. Each line item, whether from the
same or different PO’s, must be packaged separately and properly
identified. If containers are too small for bar coding, labels may be
affixed to the outside of the shipping container. A duplicate label
shall be attached to the Packing List. One line item per Packing
List.
10
(7) Labels
will be protected against moisture, weathering, abrasion or other harsh
environments. Clear plastic tapes, window envelopes, and clear
plastic pouches are examples of acceptable protection methods.
(8) Labels
shall be applied wrinkle-free.
N. Scanning.
(1) A
Visible Light Scanner will be used. The scanner is designed to read
medium density bar codes.
(2) For
optimum scanning, the leading and trailing quiet zone margin (bar code symbol to
vertical box lines) will be a minimum of 0.25 inch (6.4mm).
