Missed this, further down the LD-2 Form from Federal Startegies Title I is invoked: Defense Production Act: Title I; All provisions related to advanced military displays. Title I imposes a mandate on the recipient...

eMagin would receive all the assistance they need to serve National Defense interests but the Armed Forces are first in line. Written right before the Korean War Title I has some urgency baked into it,  "National Emergency" footing language Obviously the way around this is a parallel Private partnership where the displays not intended for defense are made elsewhere. "Provisions" sounds like 24 hour shifts for Mike and everybody eat's MREs.Strange thought. What if the Federal Gov is the new operator and majority owner of this outfit? Strategic Bonus?

Priorities and Allocations Authority

Section 101(a) of Title I of the DPA states

The President is authorized (1) to require that performance under contracts or orders (other than contracts of employment) which he deems necessary or appropriate to promote the national defense shall take priority over performance under any other contract or order, and, for the purpose of assuring such priority, to require acceptance and performance of such contracts or orders in preference to other contracts or orders by any person he finds to be capable of their performance, and (2) to allocate materials, services, and facilities in such manner, upon such conditions, and to such extent as he shall deem necessary or appropriate to promote the national defense.24

The priority performance authority allows the federal government to ensure the timely availability of critical materials, equipment, and services produced in the private market in the interest of national defense, and to receive those materials, equipment, and services through contracts before any other competing interest.
