No one uses Colt's TDP but Colt and you can believe they guard it jealously so no other company can take their government contracts away.

Even the smallest safety procedure was proprietary information. The TDP isn't the contract, the TDP details how the company meets the contract requirements, including any deviations from the contract the Army and the company agree to.
The bottom line is that while other top notch companies meet the mil-spec, they don't build rifles to Colt's TDP because Colt doesn't share the TDP with anyone but the government. If they do have a TDP, it's their own and that is kept between them and the government and/or government contractor they subcontract for
