CERTIFICATION FOR THE USE OF NORTHROP GRUMMAN SYSTEMS CORP. T-38 AND F-5 ENGINEERING DATA

JEDMICS REMOTE USERS

The United States Government, Department of the Air Force and Northrop Grumman Systems Corp have entered into a License agreement in Delivery Order F41608-99-D-0206-QP40, which specifies the rights and obligations of the Government regarding use of engineering data pertaining to the T-38 aircraft. A similar Northrop Grumman License Agreement has been signed 20 December 2005 regarding use of engineering data pertaining to the F-5 Aircraft.

Receipt or retrieval of Northrop Grumman T-38 and F-5 from the Joint Engineering Data Management Information and Control System (JEDMICS) and the Technical Data Package (TDP) DVD for solicitation FA8211-15-R-3000 obligates the requester to:

1. Protect Northrop Grumman T-38 and F-5 data.

a. It may not be released outside the Government, to include any contractor(s) with a Government Maintenance Contract without prior approval of an Air Force repository or written approval by Northrop Grumman, nor may it be released without prior approval to any foreign government.

b. Release, disclosure, or use of Northrop Grumman T-38 and F-5 data to a subsequent Government individual or Government party is made subject to those receiving parties acknowledging that further release, disclose, or use of such data is prohibited. Contractors that provide TDP information to subcontractors for proposal development shall take equal measures to ensure data is protected in the same manner in which the Government provided.

2. Restrict quantities produced by Local Manufacture.

a. Northrop Grumman T-38 and F-5 Data may be used for local manufacture only in the event of a line stoppage or emergency repair or overhaul.

b. The local manufacture is restricted to a number sufficient to eliminate line stoppage or complete repairs or overhaul.

3. Destroy all Northrop Grumman’s T-38 and F-5 data generated from JEDMICS by shredding or cutting once its intended use is concluded.

4. Contact the T-38 Engineering Section at (801) 777-5291 for certification for use of Northrop Grumman T-38 Engineering Data for reprocurement purposes. Data used for replenishment of spares requires special certification and handling procedures. Release of such data without proper certification is contrary to the terms of the agreement between the Government and Northrop Grumman Systems Corp. and may result in loss of access to JEDMICS and/or the Engineering Data Systems Center (EDSC) manual repository.

This signed certification serves as your acknowledgment and understanding of the responsibilities outlined above.
