Technical Data Packages (TDPs) are linked to the applicable
“open” solicitations and can be viewed online or you may be able to request a CD by clicking on the “TECH
DATA PACKAGE” ICON on the specific solicitation your interested in. This will take your
browser to 1) a listing of available drawings (in C4 format) and the TDP Listing
(TDPL) in PDF format if coded for “Distribution A” and/or 2) a link to request a
CD of the TDP if coded otherwise.
NOTE:
Only TDPs coded as Distribution Code A are viewable online and
when the TDP contains sensitive data, it cannot be freely
distributed. In order to view restricted TDP, you must request
that a CD be mailed to you using an on-line process associated
with the solicitation being advertised.
To view the C4 images, you must have the latest version of the TDP Imager
software loaded on your personal computer. This
