Notes
Claudia's Notes:
This is another of the "Big 3" documents that our business was based on in the 1980's and early 1990's. It was cancelled without replacement, much to the government contracting community's dismay.
However, that doesn't mean that without MIL-Q-9858 there's no emphasis on quality in government contract work. Indeed, many of our ISO 9000 certified customers used to use the MIL-Q-9858!
