The Effectiveness of the Army Technical Data Package in Technology Transfer for Procurement

Abstract

A study was conducted to assess the adequacy and effectiveness of the Army's use of the Technical Data Package (TDP) in the transfer of technology from a developer to a new contractor for volume production. A selected TDP from each of five of the Army Commands was examined; four were considered effective, the fifth was considered inadequate. The Committee finds that the Army has used the TDP effectively in procurement but the small percentage of difficulties represents a significant sum in volume procurement. Nine categories of problem areas were identified and alternative procedures are suggested.
