Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s)
Spanish term or phrase: pudieran especificarse
I'm not sure of the "proper" way to handle the verb tense/mood here (among other things, it's confusing me as to why it switches from present subjunctive with "resulten" to past subjunctive in "pudieran especificarse"). The text is discussing requirements for providing cataloging information for parts to be supplied to a (Spanish) government contractor.

El contratista proporcionará ... la documentación técnica definitoria de las características físicas y funcionales de aquellos artículos de la lista anterior que resulten no estar catalogados ... y, adicionalmente, las que pudieran especificarse en los pliegos de prescripciones del contrato.
