Dear Valued MDHS Supplier,
This book contains McDonnell Douglas Helicopter Systems' (MDHS's) Purchase Order and Solicitation provisions. These Terms and Conditions of Purchase will be applicable to bid requests and purchase orders issued after May 31, 1997.
For pending requests for proposal, requests for quotation, and open purchase orders, MDHS's Terms and Conditions of Purchase dated April 1994, or prior, will remain in effect unless otherwise agreed between the parties.
Upon receipt of a bid request or purchase order from MDHS, the specific provisions incorporated by reference in the solicitation or purchase order and explained in this book should be reviewed thoroughly by the Seller.
MDHS provisions offered or incorporated by reference into solicitations or contracts come in three forms: General Provisions, Solicitation Provisions (SOLPs), and Purchase Order Special Provisions (POSPs).
The General Provisions are incorporated by reference, utilizing a POSP according to the type of contract, as follows:
Section I: General Provisions for Commercial Firm Fixed Price contracts are incorporated by POSP 0295-97.
Section II General Provisions and FAR, DFARS, and NASA provisions for Government Fixed Price Contracts are incorporated by POSP 0297-97.
Section III Modifications to the General Provisions and FAR, DFARS, and NASA provisions for Government Cost Type Contracts are incorporated by POSP 0299-97.

The SOLPs offered by MDHS are listed in the request for proposal or request for quotation. Section VIII of this book provides the printed text of MDHS's Solicitation Provisions.
The POSPs are usually listed in the request for proposal and will always be incorporated into the Purchase Order. Generally, quality and hazardous material POSPs, when applicable, appear under Purchase Order line items. Other POSPs, including the POSP that incorporates the General Provisions, appear in the initial written text immediately following the last line item in the purchase order. Section IX of this book provides the printed text of MDHS's Purchase Order Special Provisions.
Should you have any questions or comments related to this book please direct them to the Buyer or Subcontracts Administrator who issued the last Solicitation or Purchase Order or call MDHS Supplier Management and Procurement department at (602) 891-7509.
MDHS considers its relationship with each of its suppliers essential to its success and looks forward to a continuing and prosperous business arrangement for both parties.
