(2) Further dissemination of the TDP must be in accordance with provisions of DoD Directive 5230.25, DoDI 5230.24, its Distribution

C.3.1.1 depicts the completed (item(s), and
C.3.1.2 serves as the basis for inspection of the completed item(s).
C.3.2 These drawings DO NOT cover intermediate drawings/specifications or steps in the manufacturing process. As a result, even if all the dimensions and tolerances specified in the engineering design drawing for each individual part are met, a cumulative unacceptable fit for the contract item could result.

C.3.4 The Contractor agrees that he has obtained all specifications and drawings necessary to manufacture the items being solicited in accordance with the TDP including all incorporated specifications and drawings.

C.3.5 Failure to produce an end item with a cumulative fit that conforms to Government drawings, specifications or other supplemental manufacturing documentation, will result in the Contractor being responsible for correcting this condition at no additional cost to the
Government and no delivery schedule extension.
C.4 CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT DOCUMENTATION
C.4.1 The Contractor may submit Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs), Requests for Variance (RFVs), and Notices of Revision (NORs) for the requirements in the Government-provided Technical Data Package (TDP).
C.4.2 The Configuration Change Management section of SAE EIA-649-1 (current revision) Configuration Management Requirement for Defense
