                  (5) "Subcontractor" means a supplier, materialman, distributor
or vendor at any level below the prime contractor whose contractual obligation
to perform results from, or is conditioned upon, award of the prime contract and
who is performing any part of the work or other requirement of the prime

                  (6) "Supplies" means all property, except land and interests

the time of transportation by sea.

                           (i) An item is clearly identifiable for eventual use
by the DoD if, for example, the contract documentation contains a reference to a
DoD contract number or a military destination.
                           (ii) "Supplies" includes (but is not limited to)
public works; buildings and facilities; ships; floating equipment and vessels of
every character, type and description, with parts, subassemblies, accessories

         (b) The Contractor shall employ United States-flag vessels in the

contract. The Contractor and its subcontractors may request that the Contracting
Officer authorize shipment in foreign-flag vessels, or designate U.S.-flag
vessels, if the Contractor or a subcontractor believes that -

U.S.-flag vessels in writing to the Contracting Officer at least 45 days prior
to the sailing date necessary to meet its delivery schedules. The Contracting
Officer will process requests submitted after such date(s) as expeditiously as
possible, but the Contracting Officer's failure to grant approvals to meet the
shipper's sailing date will not of itself constitute a compensable delay under
this or any other clause of this contract. Requests shall contain at a
minimum --

                  (2) Required shipping date.

U.S.-flag vessels, including points of contact (with names and telephone
numbers) of at least two (2) U.S.-flag carriers contacted. Copies of telephone
notes, telegraphic and facsimile messages or letters will be sufficient for this
purpose.
