    The "ENGINEERING DATA LIST" document, dated June 10, 2025, with revision 5, details engineering data for an F-16 End Item, specifically for a BATTERY,STORAGE. Managed by the 429 SCMS GUMACA, this list is crucial for federal government RFPs, federal grants, and state/local RFPs. It identifies key documents such as "BATTERY,STORAGE-INERTIAL NAVIGATION UNIT," "INTERPRETATION, FORMATS," "PROCUREMENT SPEC," "BATTERY, STORAGE-NICKEL CADMIUM," and "ENGINEERING INSTRUCTIONS." The document includes a "FURNISHED METHOD CODE LEGEND" explaining how data is supplied, with codes like "C" for Classified, "S" for Furnished with Solicitation, and "M" for Stable Base Drawing required with Contract Award. This list is vital for ensuring proper data access and control in procurement and contracting processes, especially concerning foreign disclosure. It underscores the importance of accurate data management in defense and aerospace projects.
    This document outlines engineering data requirements for manufacturing a “BATTERY, STORAGE-INERTIAL NAVIGATION UNIT F-16” with part number 16VE013003-1 and national stock number 6140-01-055-0435WF. It specifies that military specifications/standards will not be provided in the bid set. The document emphasizes that listed sources/materials in standards, specifications, and drawings are the only approved ones, and any substitutions or deviations require prior approval from the cognizant engineering activity. It mandates marking per MIL-STD-130 and unique identification (UID) labeling. A significant focus is placed on the use of lead-free solder; due to airworthiness concerns, the Department of the Air Force requires continued use of leaded solders for performance and reliability. Contractors must notify the US Air Force if any lead-free solder or lead-free plated components are used in the end-item or its manufacturing process. If no lead-free components are present, a written certification of compliance, evaluated by the program engineer for reliability, performance, and compatibility, is required as a deliverable. The Engineering Support Activity (ESA) is the point of contact for these matters.
