(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

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.

(d) Heat Treatment and Marking of Wood Packaging Materials (WPM):

(1) In accordance with DOD 4140.65-M and the requirements of the International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures 15 (ISPM), "Regulation of Wood Packaging Material in International Trade," current edition, (hereinafter "ISPM 15"), the following commercial heat treatment and marking process has been approved by the American Lumber Standards Committee (ALSC) and is required for all Wood Packaging

Material (WPM). Foreign manufacturers shall comply with ISPM 15, and have the WPM heat treatment and marking verified in accordance with their National Plant Protection Organization's compliance program.

(2) Boxes/pallets and any wood used as inner packaging made of non-manufactured wood shall be heat-treated. All WPM using a conventional steam or dry kiln heat chamber (treatment code for the mark: HT) shall be heat treated to a minimum core temperature of 56 degrees

Celsius for a minimum of 30 minutes, and certified by an agency accredited by the ALSC in accordance with Wood Packaging Material Policy and Wood Packaging Material Enforcement Regulations (see URL: http://www.alsc.org). WPM heat treated wood using dielectric heating

(treatment code for the mark: DH) shall follow the requirements in ISPM 15, and shall be certified by an agency accredited by the ALSC in accordance with Wood Packaging Material Policy and Wood Packaging Material Enforcement Regulations (see URL: http://www.alsc.org).

(3) If the shipment originates from outside the continental United States, the shipment shall be prepared in accordance with the United

Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods in a manner acceptable to the Competent Authority of the nation of origin and in accordance with regulations of all applicable carriers. A Product Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) is required to be included with every unit pack and intermediate container and shall be included with the packing list inside the sealed pouch attached to the outside of the package.

(f) This SPI has been validated and the method of preservation/packing has proven successful in meeting the needs of the military distribution system, including indeterminate storage and shipment throughout the world. Special instructions and/or tailoring of the SPI is detailed in the Supplemental Instructions below. A prototype package is required to validate the sizes and fit requirements of the

SPI. Minor dimensional and size changes are acceptable provided contractor provides the PCO and ACO with notification 60 days prior to delivery. Any design changes or changes in the method of preservation that provide a cost savings without degrading the method of preservation or packing or affecting the serviceability of the item will be considered and responded to within 10 days of submission to PCO and ACO. Government reserves the right to require testing to validate alternate industrial preservation methods, materials, alternate blocking, bracing, cushioning, and packing.

If the Bidder intends to request a waiver, Attachment 0004: First Article Waiver Worksheet must be completed and submitted to the Government, along with any supporting documentation, as part of its bid. The worksheet is located in Section J of this IFB. The

Bidder's request will not be considered if the worksheet and any supporting documentation are not submitted to the Government. The worksheet must be completed in its entirety. For those sections of the worksheet that do not apply, annotate with "N/A" (not applicable). To substantiate or clarify information provided by the Bidder, the Government may request additional information.

Incomplete worksheets may result in the waiver request being denied.

(2) Supporting Documentation. The First Article waiver request must be accompanied by documentation in support of the request. This documentation may include the following:

i. A copy of the Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO) or Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) letter approving a First

Article Test Report (FATR) on a recent contract for the same or similar item;

ii. A copy of a FATR for the same or a similar item as that solicited herein*;

iii. A copy of an ACO or PCO letter approving a prior waiver request; and/or

(1) If the Government approves a Bidder's First Article waiver request, an accelerated delivery schedule pursuant to FAR 52.211-8:

Time of Delivery, incorporated via Section F, shall apply.

(2) If a Bidder submits a First Article waiver request but takes exception to the accelerated delivery schedule, the waiver will be rejected. Consequently, any award to this Bidder will reflect either (i) the Government-required delivery schedule pursuant to FAR

52.211-8 or (ii) the Bidder-proposed delivery schedule in that clause, if the Government accepts it.
