Interested contractors will be required to submit a complete technical data package, which will be forwarded to the Engineering Support Activity (ESA) for review. This technical package must include a copy of the original manufacturer’s drawings for comparison by the ESA.  The drawings are proprietary to the manufacturer, and the Government is not in possession of the said drawings.
