Unauthorized dissemination may result in disqualification as a qualified U.S. contractor and affect future Department of Defense contract eligibility. The document includes standard government disclaimers regarding patent infringement liability, data accuracy and completeness, and commercial use licensing. The point of contact is Vickie Inlow at the Engineering Data Support Center (801-777-6228). Attachment 1 provides detailed instructions for controlling export-controlled technical data.
