Use & Relationship

The Technical Manual (TM) Contractor Furnished Aeronautical Equipment or Contractor Furnished Equipment (CFAE/CFE) Notice is a planning and approval document used to identify TM data required for support, operation, or maintenance for any CFAE/CFE components installed in or furnished as accessories or support equipment for any system or end item.

a. The TM CFAE/CFE Notice is used by the contractor to identify the need for supporting technical data and to recommend development of new TMs, modification of existing TMs, or acquisition of existing commercial data.

b. This Data Item Description (DID) contains the format, content, and intended use information for the data deliverable resulting from the work task described in the solicitation.

c. This DID is applied to TM acquisition programs when the total requirements for support of CFE cannot be determined prior to contract award.

d. This DID supersedes DI-TMSS-80067C.

dDesign activity nameThe name of the design activity, when not the same as the prime contractor.

eDesign activity addressThe mailing address of the design activity when not the same as the prime contractor.

fDesign activity CAGE codeThe CAGE code from the H4/H8 Cataloging Handbook. If the prime contractor is modifying a design activity item, an asterisk (*) is placed in front of the design activity code, and a brief explanation of the modification is included in the Remarks.

gEquipment (drawing) nomenclatureThe complete nomenclature of the item. If abbreviations are used on the drawing, the abbreviation, in parentheses, follows the complete nomenclature. If an "AN" nomenclature is assigned, it is used whether or not it is contained in the drawing block.

hEquipment part numberDepending on circumstances, the part number is one of the following:

(1)The design activity's part number, or if assigned, the model or type number

(2)The system or equipment contractor's part number, if the contractor is manufacturing the item

(3)The system or equipment contractor's part number, if the contractor modifies a design activity item to an extent requiring assignment of a system or equipment contractor's part numberIf this is the case, an asterisk is placed in front of the number and the design activity's part number is included in the Remarks.

iNational Stock Number (NSN)The NSN, if known, or the Federal Supply Class (FSC). The Material Management Aggregation Code (MMAC) is included.

jProvisioning Contractor Control Number (PCCN)The PCCN assigned by the contractor during the provisioning process for CFAE. If provisioning has not begun or has not been completed, enter "TBA" (to be assigned) followed by the scheduled month provisioning is to be completed.

nTM CFAE/CFE Notice numberA Notice number, of seven characters or less, assigned (normally by the contractor) in numerical sequence. Separate blocks of numbers can be used to separate the CFAE from the CFE. Subsequent notices for the same equipment are also numbered in sequence (see 3.1 through 3.1.2). Only one basic notice number shall be assigned to a specific item.

oDate notice preparedThe date the notice was prepared.

pKind of equipmentIndicate "air" if the item is air equipment or "ground" if the item is ground equipment.

qInstalled on or for support ofThe model (series and serial numbers, if applicable) of the weapon system(s) that the item is installed on or that the item will support.

sMotivationThe type of motivation, power, and current; for example: "electric," "air," "hydraulic," "engine driven," etc., and after electric, "AC," "DC," or "AC/DC" with the voltage range shown in parentheses as required. The Remarks space may be used if necessary. If not applicable, enter "N/A."

tTest or support equipmentEnter "ATE" if equipment is automated test equipment, "TE" if equipment is non-automated test equipment or "SE" if equipment is support equipment. If not applicable, enter "N/A."

uCopyright release for Government useWhen acquiring commercial data, "yes" indicates that the prime contractor has secured authorization from the design activity for the Government to reproduce and use any copyrighted information contained in the design activity (or contractor) commercial data. A "pending" followed by the estimated date of release indicates that the prime contractor is in the process of securing this authorization, but has not yet been granted permission by the design activity. Any exception is indicated with an asterisk in this space and an explanation in Remarks.

vNotice submitted forEnter "X" in the appropriate block (see sample notice) or an explanation after "Other" to indicate the action required by the prime user office. "Record notice" after "Other" indicates that only coordination with the equipment specialist is required.

wInspection and acceptance of dataThe proposed location for the inspection and acceptance of the data.

xPublications recommendedPublications recommended after consideration of quantity, item cost, and degree of repairability. If a title is not one of those listed (see Figure 1), the title shall be listed under "Other."

yNew, Revision, Supplement, or ChangeEnter "N," "R," "S," or "C" (followed by the change number) to indicate whether a new publication or a revision, supplement, or change to an existing publication is recommended.
