b. Search for the solicitation number.

c. Click on the attachment you would like to view.

d. If the attachment is restricted, request access to the document.

(1) TDPs that have an Export Control Warning Notice are subject to the Arms Export Control Act (Section 2751 of Title 22, United States

Code) or the Export Control Reform Act of 2018 (Chapter 58 Sections 48014852 of Title 50, United States Code).

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

Statement markings, and U.S. export control laws. This also applies to distribution of the TDP to all SUBCONTRACTORS at every level.

(3) To obtain these TDPs, contractors must have a current DD 2345, Militarily Critical Technical Data Agreement on file with Defense

Logistics Information Service (DLIS). To obtain certification, go to DD FORM 2345 Instructions and DD 2345.

(4) Upon completion of the purposes for which Government Technical Data has been provided, the Contractor is required to destroy all documents, including all reproductions, duplications, or copies thereof as may have been further distributed by the Contractor.

Destruction of this technical data shall be accomplished by: shredding, pulping, burning, or melting any physical copies of the TDP and/or deletion or removal of downloaded TDP files from computer drives and electronic devices, and any copies of those files.

e. If technical data is otherwise restricted, select "Request Explicit Access." This will generate an email to the Contract Specialist and Contracting Officer at Army Contract Command - Warren (DTA) with all the information needed to grant contractor access to restricted documents. SAM will automatically generate an email stating when the requesting contractor has permission to view or download TDP items.

f. If multiple individuals in the contractor's organization need access to the Technical Data Package (TDP) for a solicitation and an explicit access request is required, each individual MUST submit an explicit access request to be granted approval to view the TDP.

Those same individuals MUST be registered in SAM. Any individuals no longer with the company should be deleted.

(1) depict the completed (item(s), and

(2) serve as the basis for inspection of the completed item(s).

(b) 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.

(d) 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.

(e) 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.5 ACQUISITION OF MANUFACTURER'S PART NUMBER

This acquisition is restricted to the item description set forth in the Schedule which specifies a manufacturer's part number. Since complete Government data for the item are not available, it is understood and agreed that references to specifications and drawings herein shall be deemed to include all changes or revisions thereto which the contractor has made effective as of the date of delivery of any of the items provided for in this contract; provided, that no such change or revision which affects the interchangeability of the item (ability to be interchanged with previous parts or to connect with all mating parts when assembled) shall be effected without the approval of the Contracting Officer. The contractor agrees that he will furnish to the Administrative Contracting Officer or Government

Inspector, for the purpose of making inspection under any resulting contract, copies of the applicable specifications and drawings indicating all changes or revisions.

C.6 ACQUISITION OF MANUFACTURER'S PART NUMBER: COMPONENTS

One or more of the drawings for part of the contract item set forth in the Schedule and in the Technical Data Package specify manufacturer's part numbers. Since complete Government technical data for such part or parts are not available, it is understood that the Contractor, by accepting this contract, agrees to furnish only the listed manufacturer's part number(s) for those components of the contract item. It is further understood and agreed that references to manufacturer's part numbers herein shall be deemed to include all changes or revisions thereto which the approved manufacturer has made effective as of the first date of delivery of any of the items under this contract; provided, that no change or revision that affects the interchangeability (ability to be interchanged with previous parts and to match with all mating parts when assembled) of the listed manufacturer's part shall be incorporated into the contract item without the prior written approval of the Procuring Contracting Officer.

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

b. Furnished item(s) shall conform to the approved configuration requirements/revision, unless a Request for Variance (RFV) is processed and approved as provided by Paragraph E. below. The term "Request for Variance" includes Requests for Deviations and Waivers.

c. Value Engineering Change Proposals (VECPs) for cost saving improvements to the TDP should not be processed per SAE EIA-649-1 and should be referred to Section I FAR Clause 52.248-1 - Value Engineering.

d. All ECPs submitted will be deemed routine. If an ECP is considered as an emergency or urgent; that justification for the rationale shall be included in the ECP submittal with all applicable supporting documentation.

e. For ECPs, RFVs, or NORs, the Contractor must submit the documentation listed in sub-paragraphs e (i) through e (iii). Failure to submit a complete legible package may result in return of the ECP/RFV/SCN/NOR without processing.

(i) for ECPs, the Contractor shall prepare and deliver the ECP in accordance with (IAW) CDRL A001.

(ii) for RFVs, the Contractor shall prepare and deliver the RFV IAW CDRL A002.

(iii) for NORs, the Contractor shall prepare and deliver the NOR IAW CDRL A003.

f. The Government's acceptance of the data deliverable required by CDRL/DD Form 1423 in e(i)-(iii) above signifies only that the data satisfies the requirements of the DID and is considered acceptable for Government processing. Acceptance of the data deliverable does not signify "technical approval" of the change proposed by the deliverable and should not be interpreted as authorizing the Contractor to proceed with the work proposed by the change. Disposition of the change (approval/disapproval) will follow acceptance of the CDRL at the Government's sole discretion. Incorporation of an approved RFV or ECP will require execution of a contract modification.

g. The Contractor should direct questions regarding the status of an ECP or RFV to the Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) and copy the

Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO).

h. The submission of an ECP/RFV/SCN/NOR does not affect the required delivery date of the contract.

If this acquisition is for a component or end item associated with the M240 Machine Gun, M16 Rifle or M4 Carbine, the terms of the license agreement with the original equipment manufacturer requires that the contractor, and subcontractors, confirm destruction of the technical data. After completion of the contract, the contractor is required to provide the "Certificate of Technical Data Destruction," found in Section J Attachments, as confirmation to the buyer.

C.9 REQUIREMENT FOR AN OPSEC STANDING OPERATION PROCEDURE/PLAN

If the employee does not have a valid background investigation, the government will initiate the T1 as long as the contract does NOT require the contractor to have access to classified information. Once the T1 investigation is open in Defense Information Security System
