DI-SESS-81874, DATA ITEM DESCRIPTION (DID): ENGINEERING DATA FOR PROVISIONING (EDFP) (07-DEC-2012)., Engineering Data for Provisioning (EDFP) is the engineering data used in the initial provisioning of support resources. This technical data provides definitive identification of dimensional, materiel, mechanical, electrical, or other characteristics adequate for provisioning of the support items of the end item(s) on contract. EDFP consists of data needed to indicate the physical characteristics, location, and function of the item. EDFP may also include government or industry specifications or standards, engineering drawings, production or commercial drawings and associated lists, commercial catalogs, and sketches or photographs with descriptive characteristics. a. This Data Item Description (DID) contains the format and content preparation instructions for EDFP resulting from the work described by Activities 12.8 and 12.10 of TA-STD-0017, Product Support Analysis. b. This DID is applicable to all contracts which contain a provisioning requirement. However, EDFP is not required and shall not be provided when the item is: i. Identified by a government specification or standard which completely describes the item including its materiel, dimensional, mechanical, and electrical characteristics. ii. Identified in the Defense Logistics Information System with a National Stock Number (NSN). iii. Listed as a reference item (subsequent appearance of an item) on a parts list. c. This DID supersedes DI-ALSS-81557, Supplemental Data for Provisioning (SDFP).
