    The DD Form 1423-1 serves as a Contract Data Requirements List specifically designed for use in federal contracts, detailing essential data items that contractors must furnish. This standardized form is aimed at facilitating the collection of information required for the effective management and execution of contracts. The document includes sections for contract identifiers, types of data, responsible offices, submission deadlines, distribution details, and pricing estimates. It emphasizes compliance with regulations while documenting burdens related to data reporting requirements. Respondents must submit the completed form to the designated Government Contracting Officer rather than the address provided for comments. The form reflects a systematic approach to managing contract data, ensuring that the government maintains oversight and accountability in federal procurement processes.
    This engineering data list details components related to the F-16 aircraft, with specifications provided by BAE Systems and compiled by Jerry D. Hill from the 429 SCMS organization. It includes various printed wiring boards (PWBs), circuit card assemblies, and electrical connectors, each accompanied by a unique reference number, revision code, and notes on related documentation. The list categorizes items as classified, furnished with solicitation, or requiring additional approvals for foreign disclosures. These components are vital for the maintenance and integrity of the F-16 systems, and the document emphasizes the need for proper handling according to government protocols. The identification of materials, historical dates, and specific engineering instructions highlights the structured approach needed in military technical documentation for efficient procurement and management processes.
