Form Field Descriptions of the Technical Data Package (TDP)

The TDP is the responsibility of the Service Agency Uniform Office and shall be submitted

to the Service Agency Liaison Office upon completion. Enclosures 1 and 2 contain

checklists that coincide with these form field descriptions. The appropriate TDP checklist

must be submitted to the Service Agency Liaison Office with the TDP documents. A

completed and coordinated TDP shall include:

1. Standardization Position Letter Sent to Services:

a. Standardization position of all other Services for all items described in the TDP regardless of

whether each of the other Services is a registered user of the phase-out/substitute item and for

new items not replacing an existing item that are subject to standardization. The formal

statement of non-adoption shall include a definitive reason.

2. Type of specification shall be one of the following four options:

a. Military Performance specification: A specification that states requirements in terms of the

required results with criteria for verifying compliance, but without stating the methods for

achieving the required results. A performance specification defines the functional requirements

for the item, the environment in which it must operate, and interface and interchangeability

characteristics. Both defense specifications and program-unique specifications may be

designated as a military performance specification.

b. Military Detailed specification: A specification that specifies design requirements, such as

materials to be used, how a requirement is to be achieved, or how an item is to be fabricated or

constructed. A specification that contains both performance and detail requirements is still

considered a detail specification. Both defense specifications and program-unique

specifications may be designated as a military detail specification. Specification should

include Table of Operations.

c. Commercial Item Description (CID): An indexed simplified product description managed by

GSA that describes by function, performance, or essential physical requirements the available,

acceptable commercial products that will satisfy the government’s needs.

1. Commercial-type Product: A commercial product, (a) modified to meet some

Government-peculiar physical requirement or addition, or (b) otherwise

identified differently from its normal commercial counterparts. Modifications,

usually in the areas of packing, packaging, marking, quality levels, or range of

acceptable characteristics, are such that the vendor can meet federal

requirements without expensive changes to commercial production processes.

d. Purchase Descriptions (PD): A statement outlining the essential characteristics and functions

of an item, service, or materiel required to meet the minimum needs of the government. It is

used when a specification is not available or when specific procurement specifications are not

required by the individual Military Departments or the Department of Defense.

3. All military (and if applicable, PD and CID) specifications shall be in accordance with MIL-STD 961,

DOD 4120.24-M, and Fed Std 2000.

4. Patterns:

a. These should include oak tag patterns, electronic patterns, and a sample garment to prove

patterns are doable for quality review (when applicable).

5. Standard samples:

a. Must be furnished when specification requirements indicate that one or more physical or

chemical characteristics of the item must be compared with the standard sample. This should
