the reverse engineering. This is discussed in depth in the Data Rights section of this handbook (see. 4.4).
5.17.3 Document research. Research concerning the existence of specifications or source control drawings should be conducted. A similar item drawing could exist and a simple tabulation drawing could be re-created to
add the new part to the system. Most configuration control systems include a listing of parts and related drawings.
5.17.4 Master Cross Reference List (MCRL). A search may be made via a MCRL to screen the pertinent nomenclature and part number. The MCRL accesses the Technical Logistics Reference Network data bases which provide the exchange of technical information on parts and components, as follows:
a. Enables identification and location of components, sub-assemblies, and assemblies which are already used and supported in the Federal Supply System;
b. Identifies components and piece-parts having multiple uses across different systems and Services;
c. Allows searches by technical characteristics;
d. Identifies like-items used by all the Services; and e. Identifies alternate manufacturers.
5.17. 5 Government-Industry Data Exchange Program (GIDEP).
5.17.5.1 Identify sources. The GIDEP may be researched for additional information to identify items which could be included in a list of diminishing manufacturing sources or supply. The GIDEP may also be used to determine which off-the-shelf items and parts are out of production, which items have low reliability, and which items can be successfully competed in lieu of sole-source procurement. The GIDEP provides additional data, such as:
a. Metrology data,
b. Engineering study reports, c. Failure analysis data,
d. Dimension source data, and
e. Test data.
