The manuals deliveries shall comply with Industry Specifications (ATA) Standardized Generalized Markup Language (SGML), or applicable military specifications for Intermediate and Depot-Level maintenance Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals (IETMS). The tasks include the development of IETMS from Government furnished digital source files, sustainment support for applicable manuals post-IETM build, preparation of IETM-compliant Rapid Action Change (RAC) packages, incorporation of existing Time Compliance Technical Orders (TCTOs), RACs and AFMC Form 252 into the IETMS and IETM build efforts to support distribution of the scheduled IETM 180 day Revision Block Cycle Updates (BCU). Application: USAF model F108-100 Turbofan Engines, Intermediate and Depot-Level manuals. Required delivery is as follows: Specific Requirements: 1.4.1 Initial IETM Builds. (TASK 1) In order to satisfy the Governments immediate need to review the converted TMSS versions of the data in Table 1-1, a delivery of two copies of an Intermediate-level IETM and two copies of a Depot-level IETM is required. These initial IETM deliveries shall utilize the Government-provided SGML files. The Government shall provide SGML data and is responsible for any technical content errors. The contractor is responsible for correcting any errors related to SGML tagging issues, referencing (linking), etc. under the conversion task prior to initiating the IETM Build. 1.4.2 Technical Manual Change and Revision Service. (TASK 2& 3) The contractor shall incorporate TO change and revision data into the SGML and illustration baseline while utilizing the controlled environment of the contractor's document management system to maintain historical versions of the documents. The Government will provide a mixture of redline markup data developed from the previous version of the IETM system and AF Forms 252s to be used as source data for change/revision incorporation. All technical writing shall be accomplished by the Government. In addition, the contractor shall incorporate all outstanding Service Bulletins, LPSs, RACs and TCTOs. 1.4.3 TCTO Incorporation. (TASK 2 & 3) The contractor shall incorporate existing Government-provided TCTOs into the IETM system. TCTOs may be provided by the Government in PDF, Word and occasionally in paper.

The cost shall reflect a price per TCTO to be incorporated. 1.4.4 RAC Distribution. (TASK 3) The contractor shall provide packaging and distribution of Rapid Action Changes (RACs) for the IETMS. The contractor shall convert and package the RAC complete with the IETM executable file and deliver it electronically to the Government within two business days. The cost shall reflect a price per RAC processed for each IETM system. 1.4.5 Scheduled IETM Builds. (TASK 3) The contractor shall perform the IETM build process and deliver two Final IETM CDs (complete with Installation Program) to the Government for each scheduled IETM Revision Cycle. Revisions are currently scheduled to occur every 180 days for each Intermediate Maintenance Manual (IMM) and each Depot Maintenance Manual (DMM) IETM System. The cost shall reflect a price per IETM build (to include two IETMS CD's). An additional build cost may be provided to cover the cost of re-accomplishment of a Final Build process to make changes that are required but are not the result of contractor error (last minute source data to be incorporated, etc). 1.4.6 Digital Deliveries (TASK 1, 2 and 3) The Delivery of TOs and TO updates in digital form will be on CD or DVD-ROM/digital media. 1.4.7 Initial IETMS Build CD or DVD-ROM Delivery (TASK 1) The contractor shall deliver IETMS files on CD or DVD-ROM.

The CD or DVD-ROM shall be capable of being replicated in accordance with verification by the current USAF publication source, e.g. DAPS. The contractor shall supply a CD or DVD-ROM test article to assure system compatibility with the current USAF publication source reproduction process. 1.4.8 Block Cycle Updates (BCU) (TASK 3) The IETMs revisions will be delivered as BCUs.
