    The Engineering Data List (EDL), dated August 20, 2024, revision 8, is for an F-16 Fuel Tank, NSN 1560011026385WF, manufactured by Lockheed Martin Corporation. This document, likely part of an RFP or contract, details critical engineering drawings and accompanying documentation. Key items include drawing 16VH003002 for the HYDRAZINE-EMERGENCY POWER UNIT fuel tank, 16Z001 for interpreting engineering formats, and 16ZH003 for critical item development specifications. It also references HILL AFB FORM 462 for engineering instructions. The document includes a legend for furnishing methods, indicating how data is supplied (e.g., with solicitation, upon request, or not available). A critical note states that the release of this data to foreign-owned, controlled, or influenced companies requires approval from the Foreign Disclosure Office.
    This document, "ENGINEERING DATA REQUIREMENTS (ATTACHMENT 'A')", outlines the manufacturing instructions for a Hydrazine Fuel Tank (F-16), Part Number 16VH003002-5, and National Stock Number 1560-01-102-6385WF. Prepared by Garcia Bill of 416 SCMS/GUEAA on September 23, 2024, the document specifies that military specifications/standards will not be provided in the bid set. It emphasizes that only listed sources/materials on standards, specifications, and drawings are authorized, requiring prior approval from 416 SCMS for any substitutions or deviations. Unique Identification (UID) must comply with ECO 09A0785 and MIL-STD-130, superseding FPS-3008. The document serves as a critical guide for bidders and manufacturers, ensuring strict adherence to engineering requirements and specifications for the fuel tank's production.
    The document outlines the stringent manufacturing qualification requirements for the F-16 Hydrazine Tank, part number 16VH003002-5. To become a qualified source, offerors must notify the government of their intent, certify access to necessary manufacturing and testing facilities, and verify possession of a complete data package including specific Lockheed drawings. They must also manufacture the item to government requirements, provide quality and performance data at their own expense, and submit a detailed qualification test plan for approval. Offerors are required to provide a pre-contract award qualification article for evaluation, with an estimated qualification cost of $40,000 and a completion time of 720 days. Full qualification is mandatory before contract award, though approval does not guarantee a contract. The document also details source qualification waiver criteria for offerors who have previously supplied similar articles, are qualified for assemblies/subassemblies, or have undergone corporate restructuring.
    The document outlines comprehensive preservation, packaging, and marking requirements for government contracts, emphasizing adherence to Department of Defense (DoD) military standards, ASTM International, ANSI, and various federal regulations. Key standards include MIL-STD 2073-1 for military packaging, ASTM D3951 for commercial packaging, and MIL-STD 129 for military marking. It details specific requirements for hazardous materials, electrostatic discharge sensitive materials, and wood packaging materials (ISPM 15). The document also addresses specialized shipping containers (MIL-STD-648), palletized unit loads (MIL-STD-147), and reporting discrepancies through WebSDR. Contractors must use the ASSIST website for accessing specifications and comply with all listed government packaging documents, ensuring proper handling, identification, and shipment of materials for DoD facilities.
    This document outlines packaging and distribution requirements for Department of Defense (DOD) assets, specifically focusing on fuel tanks. It details distribution limitations to DOD and U.S. DOD contractors, destruction notices for unclassified, limited documents, and caution notices regarding repackaging. The document provides specific notes on tank placement, container marking, and the handling of hazard labels for purged tanks, along with gross weight specifications for empty and full containers. A significant portion addresses compliance with International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures (ISPM No. 15) for wood packaging material (WPM) used in international trade, emphasizing construction from debarked, heat-treated wood and certification by an ALSC-recognized agency to prevent invasive species like the pinewood nematode. The document reiterates caution notices and provides additional notes on securing tanks, alternative strapping, and gross weights for a different container assembly, including NSNs for replacement parts. This ensures secure, compliant, and environmentally responsible packaging and shipping of sensitive government materials globally.

    This Department of the Air Force memorandum, dated February 2, 2022, addresses the handling of unmarked engineering data for vendors and contractors. It mandates that any drawing lacking a distribution statement and export control notice must be treated as marked with "DISTRIBUTION D," restricting access to DoD and US DoD contractors only due to critical technology. The document issues a warning that the technical data is export-controlled under the Arms Export Control Act and the Export Administration Act, with severe criminal penalties for violations. It also clarifies that unauthorized dissemination by qualified U.S. contractors is prohibited and can lead to disqualification from future DoD contracts. The U.S. Government disclaims liability for patent infringement, misuse of data, and does not warrant the adequacy or accuracy of the technical data.
