The U.S. Government is conducting market research to understand current industry trends, alternative materials, and component substitutions utilized in existing or planned systems. As part of an ongoing modernization and supply chain mapping effort, the USG is interested in understanding the current landscape of equivalent form, fit, and function (FFF) components utilized across commercial and defense applications. Specifically, the USG requests that industry partners provide information regarding the current operational usage, integration, and procurement of the following components:

A. Infineon IC, Smart Low Side Power Switch (P/N: BTS133TC) B. Microsemi Transient Absorption Zener, 43V (P/N: SMCJ43CA) C. E-T-A Circuit Breaker, 80A (P/N: E-T-A 452-K34-LN2-8S0028-80A)

Please complete the questions below:

1. What are the current manufacturing sources and availability for the above components? Please provide a part number and CAGE code if other than what is listed above.

2. (If an alternate is listed in response to question #1) Do these alternatives provide equivalent form, fit, and function? Please provide high-level technical specifications or datasheets for the substituted parts (if available).

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION & LABELING

The Government acknowledges its obligations under 18 USC §1905 to protect information qualifying as confidential. Pursuant to this statute, the Government is willing to accept any trade secret or confidential restrictions placed on qualifying data forwarded in response to the survey questions, and to protect it from unauthorized disclosure subject to the following:

1. Clearly and conspicuously mark qualifying data as trade secret or confidential with the restrictive legend “CONFIDENTIAL” (all caps), including any explanatory text, so that the Government is clearly notified of what data needs to be protected.

2. In marking such data, please take care to mark only those portions of the data or materials that are truly trade secret or confidential (overbreadth in marking inappropriate data as “CONFIDENTIAL” may diminish or eliminate the usefulness of your response). Use circling, underscoring, highlighting, or any other appropriate means to indicate those portions of a single page that need to be protected.

3. The Government is not obligated to protect unmarked data. Additionally, marked data that is already in the public domain or in the possession of the Government or third parties, or is afterward placed into the public domain by the owner or another party through no fault of the Government will not be protected once in the public domain. Data already in the Government’s possession will be protected in accordance with the Government’s data rights.

4. Confidential data transmitted electronically, whether by physical media or not, whether by the respondent or by the Government, shall contain any restrictive legend, with any explanatory text, on both the cover of the transmittal e-mail and at the beginning of the file itself. Where appropriate for portions only of an electronic file, use the restrictive legends “CONFIDENTIAL DATA BEGINS:” and “CONFIDENTIAL PORTION ENDS”.

5. In any reproductions of technical data or any portions thereof subject to asserted restrictions, the Government shall also reproduce the asserted restriction legend and any explanatory text.

6. The Government sometimes uses support contractors in evaluating responses. Consequently, responses that contain confidential information may receive only limited or no consideration since the respondent’s marking of data as “CONFIDENTIAL” will preclude disclosure of same outside the Government, and therefore will preclude disclosure to support contractors assisting with the evaluation effort.
