    The Engineering Data List (EDL) for the F-16C, dated August 8, 2023, with revision 7, details critical engineering and technical data for the TRANSMITTER, LIQUID component. Managed by 429 SCMS GUMACA and manufactured by LOCKHEED MARTIN CORPORATION, the document references various engineering drawings, specifications, and accompanying documents, including those related to the CONTROL UNIT-FUEL IMBALANCE DETECT/TRANS and UNIQUE IDENTIFICATION (UID) LABELS. It also outlines the FURNISHED METHOD CODE LEGEND, specifying how data is supplied (e.g., with solicitation, upon request, or not available). A significant restriction notes that the release of this data to foreign-owned, controlled, or influenced companies requires approval from the Foreign Disclosure Office. This EDL serves as a comprehensive record for managing and distributing essential technical information for the F-16C component.
    This document outlines engineering data requirements for manufacturing the F-16 Fuel Imbalance Detect and Transfer Control Unit, Part Number 16VE002010-5, and National Stock Number 6680-01-261-5242WF. It specifies that military specifications and standards will not be provided in the bid set. The document emphasizes that sources and materials listed in standards, specifications, and drawings are the only approved options, with substitutions requiring prior approval from the cognizant engineering activity. Deviations from specifications in control drawings are also unauthorized without prior engineering approval. Marking must comply with MIL-STD-130, and IUID marking must follow Lockheed Drawing 16VE002010, ECO 09A0940. The document was prepared by Bill Garcia, 416 SCMS/GUEAA, on August 25, 2021.
    This document outlines the manufacturing qualification requirements for the CONTROL UNIT, FUEL IMBALANCE (P/N: 16VE002010-5, 16VE002010-6) used in F-16 aircraft. To become a qualified source, offerors must notify the government of their intent, certify possession of necessary manufacturing and testing facilities, verify a complete data package including Lockheed Martin drawing 16VE002010, manufacture items to government specifications, and comply with Unique Identification (UID) requirements. They must also submit a qualification test plan for approval, conduct tests at their own expense (estimated cost $2000, 180 days completion), and provide a qualification article for evaluation. The government retains the right to inspect testing processes. Qualification is mandatory before contract award, though successful testing does not guarantee a contract. Waiver criteria exist for certain sources, such as those who have previously supplied similar articles to the government or are qualified for related items, potentially waiving some or all qualification requirements, though a post-award first article exhibit may still be required.
    This government Statement of Work outlines comprehensive preservation, packaging, and marking requirements for offerors, primarily focusing on military and commercial standards. It mandates adherence to various DoD Military Standards, ASTM International, ANSI, and FAR/DAR Clauses for military packaging, including MIL-STD 2073-1 for general military packaging, MIL-STD 129 for military marking, and MIL-STD 147 for palletized unit loads. The document also details specific requirements for hazardous materials, classified materials, electrostatic material, and specialized shipping containers (MIL-STD 648). International standards like ISPM 15 for wood packaging are included for worldwide distribution. Furthermore, it addresses procedures for Item Type Storage Codes (ITSC), the use of reusable containers, and reporting discrepancies via WebSDR. Offerors must also comply with regulations for hazardous material shipments from various organizations, including ICAO, IATA, and DOT Title 49 CFR. The document emphasizes using the ASSIST website for accessing relevant specifications and standards, ensuring compliance with the most recent revisions of all cited documents.
