Incorrect. Omni 7 is not the highest minimum spec. There are contracts which have surpassed Omni 7. The list is old, dated, and is not being updated with the most recent contract data. More information is available at sites like

Current Military contract tubes greatly exceed Omni 7 minimum specs.

Now that's not necessarily a bad thing, as long as you either have a spec sheet, or can compare it to something you know side by side. Don't pay for an OMNI VII then later find out it's just an old repacked Litton tube.

Military/LE contract tubes will have a spec sheet if the agency procuring the equipment requests it. Not all military tubes come equipped with a placard, sets built at factory for government agencies sometimes have no internal markings beyond a serial that refers back to the original PO made by the procuring agency.
