This particular form outlines requirements for a "Flaperon First Article Test Report" (Data Item A001, Test/Inspection Report, DI-NDTI-80809B/T) for the Jordan system, under contract FD2020-26-00198. The document details specific content requirements for the report, including listing dimensions and tolerances, identifying and certifying materials, and documenting material processing. It also mandates a Distribution Statement "B" and an Export Control Warning on all technical documents, restricting dissemination to U.S. Government agencies for test and evaluation purposes. Submission instructions include concurrent delivery with the "First Article" item, with options for separate shipment if the report is too large, and an email submission to a specified Air Force address. The form also provides definitions for different price groups (Group I-IV) to guide contractors in estimating costs for data items, emphasizing that only costs directly attributable to supplying the data, over and above normal contract performance, should be included.
    The document is an Engineering Data List (EDL) for the F-16 FLAPERON, manufactured by Lockheed Martin Corporation. Dated October 15, 2024, and identified by NSN 1560012058437WF, this revision 5 document details various engineering drawings, accompanying documents, materials, and processes related to the flaperon assembly and its components. It includes data for parts such as the wing assembly, outboard assembly, skins, ribs, spars, and leading edges, along with IGES loft contour data. The EDL also lists structural compounds, sealants, adhesives, primer coatings, lubricants, and specifications for sealing, finishing, chemical milling, metal removal, and forming of aluminum alloy. Non-destructive testing methods like penetrant, hardness, conductivity, eddy current, and ultrasonic inspections are also specified. The document outlines different furnished method codes for accessing these engineering data, indicating whether they are furnished with solicitation, contract award, or upon request. The release of this data to foreign-owned companies is subject to approval by the Foreign Disclosure Office.
    This document outlines the manufacturing qualification requirements for the Flaperon (P/N: 16W021-51, NSN: 1560-01-205-8437) used in F-16 Aircraft.

They must manufacture the item according to government requirements, demonstrate compliance with Unique Identification (UID) per DFARS 211.274, and provide data from quality, performance, and environmental evaluations. Offerors are required to submit a qualification test plan for approval, provide a pre-contract award qualification article for evaluation, and anticipate an estimated qualification cost of $12,000 and a completion time of 365 days. Full qualification is mandatory for contract eligibility, with an approved listing not guaranteeing an award. Additionally, the document details six Source Qualification Waiver Criteria (QWC) for potential sources, allowing them to apply for a waiver of all or part of the qualification requirements under specific conditions, such as prior supply to the government, qualification on similar articles, or continuity of qualification after business changes.

Key directives include MIL-STD 2073-1 for military packaging, ASTM D3951 for commercial packaging, and MIL-STD 129 for military marking.

All wooden lumber, pallets, and containers must be constructed from debarked, heat-treated wood (56 degrees Celsius/133 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes). Certification and marking by an American Lumber Standards Committee (ALSC) recognized agency are mandatory. These regulations apply to all worldwide shipments, whether direct or through logistics centers, ensuring compliance with International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures (ISPM No. 15).
