DoD Directive 5100.36, Department of Defense Technical Information.
To clarify existing technical data requirements for logistic support and establish uniform policy, procedures, and practices for more effective procurement and management of technical data for logistics support purposes. This regulation assigns responsibilities for procurement, interchange, management and control of technical data required to support the missions of the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and Military Services (MILSVCS) materiel managers. This regulation applies to and has been coordinated and concurred in by HQ DLA and all DLA primary level field activities, Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps. This regulation does not apply to engineering support functions developed by separate regulation or special agreement except as noted herein.
A.
In order to decrease resource expenditure and enhance logistic support, the
MILSVCS and DLA will use their existing technical data assets to the fullest
extent possible (see DoD 4100.35-G, chapter 8). One important tool in allowing
maximum use of these assets is cross referencing, as described by DoDI 5010.12,
that includes the technical data identifying number versus the stated part
number(s) thereon and known National Stock Number(s) (NSN) of those part(s).
B.
Purchase requests, Military Interdepartmental Purchase Requests (MIPRs),
solicitation(s) and contract(s) issued by the MILSVCS will require delivery of
new or revised technical data adequate for logistic support (see paragraph IV
B). These data will describe items of supply destined for management by an
Inventory Control Point (ICP) or DoD Integrated Manager (IM) (see DoDD
4100.37). The above is in consonance with DoDD 4100.35, DoD 4100.35-G, DoDI
4151.7, DoDI 5100.63 and DoDI 5010.12. Use of deferred methods of technical
data procurement (ASPR, section IX, part 5) may be required (see paragraph VII
B 1 a) to accomplish delivery of the needed technical data at the proper time.
C. Technical
data, whether obtained with unlimited rights or subject to limitations
preventing release outside the Government, and whether or not considered
preliminary or unapproved, will be made available among DoD components without
charge to requiring DoD component(s) provided such distribution is consistent
with limitations or restrictions imposed on the Government.
A.
ASPR Definitions. Definitions contained herein are compatible with those of
ASPR. Refinements have been made to permit clarification thus avoiding
unnecessary interpretation in procurement, interchange, management and control
of technical data for logistic support.
B.
Control Data. Where an item is altered, selected or the source(s) controlled,
such as defined by MIL-STD-100, the technical data may express only those
requirements necessary to ensure a satisfactory product, including applicable
overall and detail dimensions and tolerances. In such cases, product control is
exercised by specifying the actual manufacturer part number(s) of the approved
design(s), supplemented by quality assurance provisions, applicable dimensional
information, and, when engineering drawings are available, the information
thereon. Where control data are to be used for reprocurement purposes only, the
criteria of MIL-STD-885, paragraphs 4.2.3. or 4.2.4. and 4.5. may be followed.
C. Technical
Data for Logistic Support. Technical data, as defined by ASPR, section I,
paragraph 1-201.36, is the term applied to a composite of engineering,
procurement, and support type information used to specify descriptive and
performance characteristics or features of items, materiels, methods,
practices, processes and services for development, production, use and support
of end items. The term "technical data" encompasses a broad spectrum
that is documented in textual, symbolic, and graphic forms. A separation within
"technical data" can be made for engineering, procurement and
provisioning. These separations, however, tend to overlap and their composite
make up technical data for logistic support.
1. Engineering Information (see DoDD 5100.36) consists of engineering data, as defined by DLAR 4185.14, and other original source documentation prepared by a design activity for the disclosure and description of configuration, form, fit, performance, operation, reliability, maintainability, quality control, or other engineering features of items, materials, methods, practices, processes, and services. These data are used for design, development, test, manufacture, acceptance, training, operation, maintenance, and overhaul. The principal types of engineering information are engineering drawings and associated lists (parts list, data list and index list as described by MIL-STD-100), manufacturer specifications and standards, data sheets, test reports, bills of material, handbooks, technical orders or manuals, engineering changes, and various other documents that provide data on reliability, maintainability, end item application, and quality control. (See paragraph VII A 1 for regulations governing requisitioning specific forms of engineering information.)
2. Procurement data packages, as defined by MIL-STD-885, include documentation prepared expressly for the identification, description and verification of items, materials, supplies, and services that are to be purchased, inspected, packaged, and packed and supplied or delivered to MILSVC users. The principal types of data within these packages are engineering drawings, standards, specifications, purchase descriptions, purchasing data, functional data, item requirement sheets, commercial catalogs, item identifications, qualified products lists, approved vendors lists, qualitative procurement histories, deviations, waivers, and exceptions to requirements and various other documents that provide data on interchangeability, substitutability, packaging, packing, marking and shipping. A procurement data package provides data necessary to control design, engineering, performance, and quality of an item sufficient to ensure functional and physical adequacy of the item for its intended application. Procurement data packages may also be known to engineering or technical personnel as detailed design specifications with drawings, detailed performance specifications, configuration identification with other drawings where required, performance specifications with drawings, sole source documentation and technical data packages. Types of procurement data packages and content selections therof are defined by MIL-STD-885 for competitive and noncompetitive procurements and may be a combination of the following conditions.
a.
Performance. This controls the item primarily by establishing performance
requirements supplemented by quality assurance provisions and form, fit and
function limits. Requirements are expressed in the form of output, function or
operation, leaving the details of design, fabrication, and internal workings to
the manufacturer. Control data are included in this type (see subparagraph B).
b.
Design. This controls the item by sufficiently defining its detail design to
enable manufacture of a product conforming to the established design. This
includes technical data which define the detail design, material composition,
treatment, finish, chemical, physical and electrical properties, fabrication
and production instructions, and other requirements necessary to ensure proper
performance and manufacture.
3. Technical Data for Provisioning. This term, as defined by DoDI 5100.63, includes those data used for identification and quantity determination(s) of spare and repair parts necessary to support and maintain end items of material for specified periods. These data are also used in the cataloging process and contractual formalization of item quantities. Uses are further defined by DoDI 4151.7. In addition to specific elements of cataloging, engineering, maintenance and supply support data, as identified by DoDI 5100.63, technical data for provisioning contain information such as piece part relationship to next higher components and assemblies, prices of parts, parts population, and replacement and overhaul factors. Provisioning Technical Documentation (PTD), although a form of technical data, consists of provisioning lists, as defined by DoDI 4151.7, whereas technical data for provisioning includes engineering drawings, parts lists, lists of material, commercial catalogs, technical manuals and other data that are used to ensure proper execution of these lists and other provisioning functions. Technical data for provisioning (DoDI 5100.63) and Supplementary Provisioning Technical Documentation (SPTD), as defined by DoDI 4151.7, are, for all intents and purposes, synonymous.
This revision updates this regulation to reflect current direction and guidance in the area of technical data for logistic support.
A.
MILSVCS and DLA will:
1. Implement the policy and procedures herein that apply.
2. Ensure timely response to requests for assistance in locating or verifying technical data for logistic support. If regulatory documents govern, ensure response within the time frames established therein.
3. Improve management, identification, and control of existing technical data for logistic support purposes.
4. Improve and enforce requirements for procurement of technical data for logistic support.
B.
The Chief, Cataloging and Technical Information Division, Executive
Directorate, Technical and Logistic Services, HQ DLA (DLA-SC) will conduct an
annual review of this regulation and develop necessary changes, in coordination
with MILSVCS and DLA activities.
A.
MILSVCS and DLA will:
1. When technical data for logistic support are needed, use DoD 4100.39-M, segments B and C of the total item record, to identify known technical data, NSN(s) and their manager(s) and User(s) of the NSN(s). DoD 4100.39-M, chapter 4, section 2, subsection 1, provides instructions for making tailored interrogations of the DIDS data bank. External requisitions for engineering data will be prepared and submitted in accordance with DLAR 4185.14. External requisitions for technical manuals/orders will be prepared and submitted in accordance with DLAR 4151.9/AFR 66-19/AR 310-70/NAVMATINST 5600.11A/MCO 5215.16, Interservicing of Technical Manuals and Related Technology. These requisitions will be directed to the applicable NSN managers' "technical data management central focal point" (DoDI 5010.12) (except Air Force) or repository identified by MIL-HDBK-331, unless otherwise specified by the joint regulation(s) above, prior to querying users of the NSN in the same manner.
a.
Activities needing technical data on an NSN managed by the activity will first
use the applicable methods and procedures described by the above joint
regulations to prepare and submit requisitions to the first ICP or IM
transferring an item of supply for support or as specified within the joint
regulation(s). If this results in a negative response or the originating ICP or
IM is unknown, the NSN manager will use the above joint regulations when
preparing and submitting requisitions to the repositories of all known users of
the item of supply.
b.
Negative response from subparagraph a is sufficient cause to request
engineering support from the cognizant Engineering Support Activity (ESA),
Preparing Activity (PA), or Single User (SU) as appropriate. The procedures for
this are described by DLAR 3200.1. Engineering support is defined within this
joint regulation as "including the development of technical data" and
"preparation and maintenance of adequate engineering and procurement type
data." This support may, at the discretion of the applicable ESA, PA, or
SU, be limited to identifying the technical data and its storage location for
further action by the requiring activity. Negative ESA, PA, or SU responses
shall be accompanied by sole source justification, in accordance with ASPR, section
III, paragraph 3-210. Where the ESA, PA, or SU is requested or elects to
procure needed technical data, the policies of ASPR, section IX, part 2, will
be followed. If the above procedures do not result in transfer of legible,
reproducible technical data or an approved sole source justification, the NSN
item manager may generate acquisition(s) for technical data to known
manufacturers or suppliers of the item of supply either on a courtesy or
contractual basis. When data are requested to be supplied on a courtesy basis,
suppliers should be advised to identify, in writing, any limitation on
reproduction and use of the data to be supplied.
c.
Industry responses that require reimbursement for technical data describing an
NSN item will be evaluated individually. Normally, where the requested
reimbursement is 10 percent or less of the yearly procurement value of the item
up to a maximum of $100, the reimbursement should be allowed. This, however, is
a guide for initial decision and should be tempered with such information as
criticality, reliability, special tests, clean room requirements, price
history, volume, etc., prior to making the final decision. These considerations
may justify expenditure of larger or smaller amounts. To the extent practical
and prior to expenditure of funds, contact with ESA, PA, SU, ICP, or IM should
have determined that neither technical data nor unlimited rights, as
applicable, were procured on a MILSVC contract.
d.
For Defense Stock Fund items being procured, technical data furnished with the
end item by the manufacturers will be identified as separately priced items in
the contract and charged to the same funds (Defense Stock Fund) as the end
item; the standard stock fund price of the end item will include the cost of
such data. If a separate contract is used to procure the technical data, the
cost of such is chargeable to the funds of the activity requesting the data.
The Defense Stock Fund may be used to finance the procurement of technical data
where it is required to be stored prior to issue; however, such technical data
will be stored as a separate item and all issues from the stock fund will be on
a reimbursable basis. Procurement of unlimited rights will not be attempted
without first obtaining the approval of applicable ESA, PA, SU, or user(s), as
appropriate, since this cost will also be charged through the stock fund. Where
approved, the procedures of ASPR, section IX, will be followed. The approving
MILSVC(s) will assist in settling any claims as a result of subsequent procurement(s)
using these unlimited rights technical data.
2. Assure that any known acceptable limitation on the use of technical data to be transferred between DoD components is clearly identified at time of transfer. These limitations may be as a result of the terms of an identified contract number; in accordance with ASPR; as required by MIL-STD-804; as required by DLAR 4140.35, DoDI 5010.12, or DoD 4140.26-M, Vol. I; or as agreed upon by mutual agreement. Activities receiving technical data from another DoD component with limitations will respect the limited use characteristics in accordance with appropriate internal directives. Activities transferring technical data will assure that the type of copy distributed will, for engineering data or technical manuals/orders, follow the joint regulations identified by subparagraph A 1 above. Distributed copy for other forms of technical data will follow DLAR 4140.35 and could include hard copy suitable for reproduction; offset masters; paper tape; Punched Card Accounting Machine (PCAM) cards; or magnetic tape if compatible with requester's equipment.
3. Assure that all repositories storing, reproducing, and issuing engineering data are identified in MIL-HDBK-331. These repositories will when requested or on a routine basis, transfer applicable engineering data immediately available whether or not considered preliminary or unapproved. These latter data will be clearly marked and routinely replaced if the final or approved revision(s) become available within 1 year from the date of the request. Requisitions for engineering information will be prepared and submitted in accordance with the joint regulations identified by subparagraph A1 above.
4. When screening a manufacturer's part number described on a detail or control drawing (MIL-STD-100), also screen the drawing number and all other part numbers that identify the item screened (DoD 4130.2-M, section 13, subsection 132, paragraph 132.06). Where screening results match to an NSN(s), with a type 2 or 4 cataloging designation, managed by another activity and the screening activity will require supply support for the item(s) matched, a copy of the drawing will be transferred with the support request(s). Where screening results match to an NSN item(s) previously transferred by the screening activity and the drawing reflects a design change to the item(s), routinely transfer a copy of the drawing to the NSN manager's cataloging area. Appropriate notations will be made as to the part number and NSN of interest to the managing activity. These actions will enable necessary update of segment C of the DIDS total item record in accordance with DoD 4100.39-M, chapter 2, section 4, subsection 10.
B.
MILSVCS will:
1. Establish technical data requirements for logistic support for insertion in solicitations and contracts. If requested by the establishing MILSVC or DLA, these MILSVC requirements will be coordinated with DLA to ensure maximum coverage by the solicitation(s) and contract(s).
a.
These requirements must ensure delivery of some form of technical data that
describes each repairable or consumable item of supply which will require the
assignment of a new NSN and those existing NSN items not having type 1
cataloging item identification (DoDI 4151.7). These logistic support data shall
be identified, validated, and scheduled for delivery in time to meet its
intended use, since these data are one of the "principal elements of
integrated logistic support" (DoDD 4100.35). A sample deferred delivery
requirement, for guidance, is provided in enclosure 1.
b.
MILSVC ICPs or IMs, as applicable, will assure timely contractual delivery of
technical data for logistic support in order to accomplish their mission as
well as the single manager concept.
2. Ensure transfer of legible, reproducible, applicable technical data with supply support requests required to have such data attached. Item management responsibility and supporting technical data are transferred within DoD through:
a.
DLAR 4140.35
b.
DLAR 4130.12
c.
DoD 4140.26-M, Volume I
3. As a minimum, routinely transfer new or revised technical data for logistic support that reflect design changes to items previously transferred for supply support.
4. Ensure that the MILSVC ESA, PA, or SU, responsible for an NSN item(s) of supply, obtain concurrences from users of the NSN item(s) when change, deviation, or waiver are being considered for the item(s). Within 15 days after concurrences are obtained, the ESA, PA, or SU, as applicable, will transfer applicable technical data to the NSN manager. If concurrence cannot be obtained, an NSN must be obtained for the modified item.
C.
DLA will:
1. Prior to modifying on hand technical data, ensure that all proposed changes, waivers, or deviations known, that may affect item performance or logistic support functions for any item of supply, are approved by the recorded ESA, PA, or SU, as appropriate, of the item of supply. This approval will be sufficient authority for DLA activities to modify on hand technical data unless new or updated technical data are supplied.
2. Perform applicable MILSVC functions above when procuring the equipment or end item. In this instance, all requirements for logistic support technical data will be coordinated with the MILSVC requesting procurement action(s).
3. Perform applicable MILSVC functions above when procured equipment(s) or end item(s) is destined for internal DLA use.
