This is the third in a series of three blog posts on technology escrow for the federal government. See the Deeper Dive section at the end of this post for links to the first and second posts in this series.

Any Technical Data Package (TDP) can be protected with a technology escrow agreement. A TDP consists of applicable technical data such as models, drawings, associated lists, specifications, standards, performance requirements, software documentation, and packaging details. TDPs provide critical information for maintenance planning, developing supply support strategies, establishing configuration management requirements, and developing training and related engineering and product support activities.
