The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Newport (NUWCDIVNPT) requires a custom Subsea Reel with Braking System for the Bottom Array Rapidly Deployed (BARD) Project, funded by the Office of Naval Research. This system will deploy and control a specified load, integrate with existing government systems, and provide telemetry data. Key requirements include a minimum of 21,000 feet of 3/8” Amsteel Blue line, a payout speed of at least 6 ft/second, the ability to hold a 4,000 lbs load, controlled deceleration, continuous braking in an unpowered state, and a 6,000-meter depth rating. The system must have an electric or hydraulic braking system with digital control, a control system for logic feedback, and integrated monitoring for speed, system health, and line deployment. It also requires redundancy of critical components, a compact form factor (72”x72”x48”), an auxiliary level winding system, and a robust mounting bolt pattern. The vendor must provide a Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) plan and report, an Interface Control Document (ICD), training for government personnel, a Technical Data Package, Standard Operating Procedures (SOP), and a maintenance plan. Monthly progress reports and meetings are also required. All work must adhere to national security and operational security guidelines, with the vendor responsible for electronic spillage remediation costs.

This document outlines the distribution and export control requirements for Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL) items, specifically focusing on data classified under DISTRIBUTION STATEMENT D. This statement restricts distribution to the Department of Defense and U.S. DoD contractors only, due to administrative, critical technology, or foreign government information, and is subject to export controls. Any other requests for this data must be referred to PEO UWS PMS404. Additionally, an "EXPORT CONTROL WARNING NOTICE" is mandated for all CDRL items with identified distribution statements. This warning explicitly states that the document contains technical data whose export is restricted by the Arms Export Control Act or the Export Administration Act of 1979, and violations are subject to severe criminal penalties. Dissemination must adhere to DOD Directive 5230.25. The document emphasizes strict adherence to these regulations to prevent unauthorized disclosure and ensure compliance with federal export laws.
