The WIFT Performance Specification is governed by distribution statement "C" which limits its distribution to "U.S. Government agencies and their contractors." For the purposes of this designation, "contractor" means an individual or organization outside the U.S. Government who has accepted any type of agreement or order to provide research, supplies, or services to a U.S. Government.

Such evidence shall be in the form of a copy of the cover page of any previous agreement or order (contract) with the U.S. Government. Inquiries that do not include this substantiation will not be considered. After reviewing the WIFT Performance Specification, each responder is requested to provide detailed answers the following questions and to provide the following information: 1) Does your company have an existing product, that is currently available to the marketplace, and that substantially meets the performance requirements detailed in the WIFT Performance Specification? 1A) If the answer to (1) is yes, then provide narrative information, photos, drawings, illustrations, brochures, user / product manual, videos, WEB or other references that describe the product and the enabling technologies utilized in the product design. 1B) If the answer to (1) is no, then does your company have an existing product, or a product that is currently under development, or is your company doing research and development for a set of enabling technologies, that with continued development could be designed into a product that could substantially meet the performance requirements detailed in the WIFT Performance Specification and that could be made available to the marketplace within 24 months? 1C) If the answer to (1B) is yes, then provide narrative information, photos, drawings, illustrations, brochures, user / product manual, videos, WEB or other references that describe the product and / or the enabling technologies planned or utilized in the development of the future finished product design. 2) Provide specific recommendations to the government to improve the WIFT Performance Specification. 3) Forward specific questions to the government to clarify any aspect of the WIFT Performance Specification.
