This document is a memorandum from the Department of the Air Force, Headquarters Ogden Air Logistics Center, regarding "Unmarked Engineering Data." It provides instructions for vendors and contractors on how to handle drawings that may not have explicit distribution statements or export control notices. If such drawings are encountered, they should be treated as having "Distribution D" authorization, meaning distribution is limited to DoD and US DoD contractors only, and it pertains to Critical Technology as of 24 January 2012. The memorandum also includes a strong warning about the export control restrictions under the Arms Export Control Act and the Export Administration Act, detailing potential penalties for violations. Attachment 1 provides further instructions for controlling this export-controlled technical data. Questions should be directed to Vickie Inlow at the provided email address or phone number.

This document is relevant to bidders as it clarifies the handling and distribution limitations of unmarked engineering data. It informs vendors that certain data, even if unmarked, is considered export-controlled and requires adherence to specific distribution and dissemination protocols. Failure to comply can lead to severe penalties and disqualification from future contracts. It also directs bidders to a specific contact for questions regarding this data.
