Knowledge base from the Manufacturing Readiness Level (MRL) Deskbook (Version 2025, 1 May 2025, OSD ManTech / Joint Service/Industry MRL Working Group). Use for manufacturing maturity and producibility risk in defense acquisition: ten-level MRL scale (target, not grade); demonstration environments; nine Section 2.4 threads; Adaptive Acquisition Framework pathway targets; assessment-to-MMP loop; contract language (Section L/M, SOW, AS6500A, DIDs); criteria adaptation for S and T, sustainment…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

<!-- argument-hint: [MRL level, demonstration environment, manufacturing-risk thread, pathway target, MRL Assessment process, Manufacturing Maturation Plan (MMP), contract language (Section L/M, AS6500A, DID), adaptation (S&T/ship/single-system/depot), OT cybersecurity, chapter number] -->

# Manufacturing Readiness Level (MRL) Deskbook (Version 2025)

**Source:** OSD Manufacturing Technology Program with the Joint Service/Industry MRL Working Group. US Government work, public domain under 17 U.S.C. 105; Distribution A, approved public release; DOPSR Case # 25-T-1829. Advisory best practice, not a DoD requirement. See `LICENSE`.

## When to use

Use when a program, project, or supplier question is about manufacturing maturity, producibility risk, MRL targets on an acquisition pathway, running an MRL Assessment, writing a Manufacturing Maturation Plan, putting maturity into contract language, adapting criteria, or screening operational-technology cybersecurity on the shop floor.

**Prerequisites:** none. Plain Markdown. No MCP server, API key, or licence tier needed at runtime.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jgsystemsconsulting/jgs-se-knowledge-packs/mrl-deskbook@sha256:754e2bbc6de05461

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.042f570, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
