In an effort to increase possible competition, the quality of ammunition, and enable contractors to better prepare for potential future solicitations, JPEO Armaments & Ammunition, located at Picatinny Arsenal, NJ, has established the following process regarding the release of Army Technical Data Packages (TDPs) to Industry: a. The requestor must provide a written statement sufficient to establish that their company has the requisite need to know the information in the requested TDP. b. Any TDP provided by the Government (USG) remains USG property and is for USG purposes only. The requestor does not have any right to use the TDP for any production, nor can the information from the TDP be utilized for any purpose by the requestor in any of its products. Thus, the TDP shall be for information only and no other purpose, unless specific permission is granted by the USG. The USG makes no representation that the requested item will be acquired or that the TDP is accurate or complete. The TDP may or may not be updated or changed and the USG has no responsibility to take any action to notify any requestor that the TDP has changed. c. Any action taken by any requestor based upon the TDP provided is taken entirely at their own risk without any recourse against the USG. d. The USG does not guarantee that any request for a TDP made pursuant to this notice will be granted. e. Requestor is responsible for the costs necessary for the processing of the requested uncertified TDP compact disk. f. The process for obtaining TDPs will take approximately sixty (60) business days. g. If the requestor is a foreign entity and the TDP has export control markings, the requestor is responsible for ensuring a current/valid license, or other applicable agreement (e.g. DD Form 2345, Military Critical Technical Data Agreement), is in place and providing a copy to the Project Manager Office. h. It should be noted that this process does not apply to classified TDPs. i. The requestor will be required to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) prior to the release of the TDP. j. By submission of a request, the requestor agrees to the above terms.
