As-Designed Parts, Materials, and Processes List (ADPMPL)

The As-Designed Parts, Materials, and Processes List (ADPMPL) is a complete listing of: the electrical, electronic, electromechanical, and mechanical parts; materials; Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) products; modified COTS products; and processes used in the manufacture of a complete end item. The ADPMPL Data Item Description (DID) describes this requirement for a piece of equipment or system that is approved and selected for design. Unless stated otherwise by the work task described in the contract, the government intends to use the ADMPL to track potential impacts due to, but not limited to, supply chain issues, product change notices, and non-conformance or potential non-conformance information from the Government Industry Data Exchange Program (GIDEP), industry, or program alerts and advisories.

This DID contains the format, content, and intended use information for the data deliverable resulting from the work task described in the contract.

Definitions

Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) Products: Commercial items that typically require no unique government modifications or maintenance to meet the needs of the procuring agency, during the life cycle of the product. Examples include Versa Module Eurocard (VME) boards, hard drives, and computers. If a source control drawing has been developed with specific requirements for an item, it is not considered COTS.

Electrical, Electronic, and Electromechanical (EEE) Parts: The term "electronic" part is used in a broad sense and includes electrical, electromagnetic, electromechanical, and electro-optical parts. This definition includes any part that can carry, store, or transmit electrical current, or electromagnetic or optical waves in the intended application. EEE parts include capacitors, connectors, crystal oscillators, diodes and transistors, fiber optics, filters, fuses, hybrid microcircuits, monolithic microcircuits, magnetics, relays, resistors, thermistors, wire, and cable.

Material: Material is a metallic or nonmetallic element, alloy, mixture, or compound used in a manufacturing operation that becomes a permanent portion of the manufactured item, or which can leave a remnant, residue, coating, or other material that becomes or affects a permanent portion of a manufactured item.

Mechanical Part: The term mechanical piece parts (non-electrical parts) is used in a broad sense and includes such simple mechanical items as nuts, bolts, washers, pins, terminals, and discrete parts (other than required as an accessory in EEE Parts herein), that cannot be disassembled into their component sections without rendering them unfit for their intended use. Such mechanical piece parts have a single, non-electrical function (other than electrical grounding) and contain one or more necessary material items. Formed, machined, shaped or otherwise fabricated items such as brackets, enclosures, etc., and processed portions of packages used by electronic assemblies, with no electrical circuitry, ground plane, or thermal functions are considered mechanical parts.

Part: A hardware element that is not normally subject to further subdivision or disassembly without destruction of functional use. Examples include resistor, integrated circuit, relay, connector, bolt, and gasket.

Process: An operation, treatment, or procedure used as a step in the manufacture of an item.
