The Design Data and Calculations DID covers graphs, mathematical curves, analysis, tables, and empirical data that quantitatively reflect equipment design and capabilities so the Government can verify contract compliance.
This type data consists of graphs, mathematical curves, analysis, tables and empirical data which reflect quantitatively the design and capabilities of the equipment.
The purpose of this type data is to enable the Government to verify that the equipment being furnished and represented by this type data is in accordance with the requirements of the contract.
This data item description (DID) contains the format and content preparation instructions for the data product generated by the specific and discrete task requirement as delineated in the contract.
This DID is applicable whenever calculations are required for evaluation and verification of the design capabilities of equipment.
It is applicable to contracts for acquisition of items via a military specification, prepared in accordance with MIL-STD-961, where it is necessary to specify detailed technical content requirements. It should be used in lieu of DI-MISC-80296 for these types of contracts.
The applicable military specification containing the technical content for the design data and calculations shall be stated in Block 16 of the DD Form 1423, Contract Data Requirements List.
