About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Nuclear Weapons Center has issued a Special Notice seeking to identify the intellectual property rights owner for engineering drawings numbered 16-200901 and 78-115493. The notice addresses the presence of unauthorized restrictive markings on these blueprint drawings, which the government believes have been abandoned by their original owner or contractor. This Special Notice was posted on January 26, 2026, with a response deadline of March 27, 2026. The drawings are related to the Airborne Launch Control Systems (ALCS) program and were originally issued by Rolm Corporation under Air Force contract number FO4704-83-0032.
The government is seeking clear and convincing evidence from the current intellectual property rights holder to justify any restrictive markings on the specified drawings. Contractors or owners with claims to these drawings must respond within sixty days of this written inquiry via SAM.gov, substantiating the propriety of any limited or restricted rights markings with contractual documentation. If no response is received within the sixty-day period or if the response fails to provide adequate evidence supporting the restrictive markings, the Contracting Officer will issue a final decision to remove such markings and grant the government unlimited rights to use, duplicate, or disclose the technical data in any manner and for any purpose. This action falls under the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) clause 252.227-7013 regarding technical data rights.
