It’s Been A Long Time Since 1962

• For the first time since 1962 the Defense Department has 

revised the DD 1222 REQUEST FOR AND RESULTS OF 

TESTS

• While DLA uses this form, we are not the only defense 

agency that uses it, hence some modifications on the 

form are not directed at the C&T supply chain

• C&T sent out a notice that the older form DD 1222 would 

not be accepted for submitted testing past October 15, 

2021

• If the PTC-A receives an older DD 1222, or receives a DD 

1222 that is incorrectly filled out, modified from the 

format, or is missing information important to the testing 

being performed someone from the PTC-A will reach out 

to you

It’s A New Day!

• The email will come from the paactlab@dla email box 

with a request for a corrected DD 1222

• While we wait for a response, the work will not be logged 

into our system, and will not be tested or evaluated. 

• After 48 hours we will attempt to contact you again

• If we still have not heard back in 48 hours, we will attempt 

one final request, and turn the matter over to the 

contracting officer.

• Please do not contract the shade team if they are not who 

contacted you.

• Prime’s please communicate all necessary information to 

subcontractors to avoid delays in testing.

The Right Way

• In the DLA Troop Support Clothing & Textiles Additional Quality 

Assurance Requirements Page 37-40 are specific instructions 

on how the form should be filled out

• If you are submitting for lot notification, shade evaluation, and 

source sampling please make sure the contractor, contract 

number, specification and lot number match on each request 

that comes to the PTC-Analytical

• The PTC needs help with data integrity

• DLA should treat all contractors and subcontractors fairly

• Prepare for the Source Sampling Portal

• Standardization is key

• Item identification – brand names/style numbers do not link to 

contractual information

No Modification – Do not shrink 

or grow any boxes

Box 7 should only say 

Correlation testing when 

submitting side by side samples. 

Test reports should be submitted 

as Source Sampling

In box 9, no multiple choice! For 

each item list by the item 

submitted (cloth, leather, end 

item) with a material description

Specification in box 12 should be 

the same on the DD 1222 and 

the test report

No brand names to describe the 

item

What Not to Do
WARFIGHTER ALWAYS WARFIGHTER ALWAYS

Shade

Test reports should be submitted 

as shade evaluation

Is the shade number is box 22?

Is the standard roll number in box 

22

Is everyone who is supposed to 

get a copy of the report added in 

box 23?

Is there a tally sheet attached 

with roll numbers that match the 

samples submitted?

Does the item/spec/contract/lot 

number match the source report.

Don’t forget you have to send the 

source report!
