Request for waiver
In accordance with MIL-HDBK-61A, the term "waiver" is no longer used. A deviation from the contractual performance requirements or approved drawings should be submitted as a Request for Deviation (RFD).[1] An RFD is a specific written authorization to depart from a particular requirement of an item's approved configuration documentation for a specific number of units or period of time. A deviation does not change configuration documentation.[2]
Deviations are requested by contractors prior to manufacture, during manufacture, or after an item has been submitted for Government inspection and acceptance.To be tendered for delivery or to be installed in an item to be tendered for delivery, deviant items must be suitable for use.[2]
