This document is a Data Item Description (DID) for Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) Manuals and Associated Supplemental Data, numbered DI-TMSS-80527D and approved on 20211203. The DID provides detailed requirements for acquiring and evaluating COTS equipment manuals for the Department of Defense (DOD), specifying that manuals must contain comprehensive technical information on assembly, installation, operation, parts, and maintenance of commercial equipment.

Key technical requirements include preferring Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals (IETMs) or PDF files, with PDFs needing to be searchable, linkable, and have embedded fonts. The manuals must be evaluated using criteria in MIL-PRF-32216 and may be supplemented with additional data to comply with contract specifications. For Army-specific applications, IETMs must meet style and interface requirements in MIL-STD-40051-1 or MIL-STD-3031, and Quick Reference Guides (QRGs) must adhere to MIL-PRF-32614 standards. This version supersedes the previous DID dated 12 Aug 2011.
