IPRs will be held IAW with TO 00-5-3 or as defined by the program office. During the IPRs the Contractor will be responsible to maintain a master markup or documented list of approved changes for the content being reviewed. The Contractor must develop meeting minutes after each review documenting all approved changes and concurrent agreements for Government review and approval. This master markup or documented list of approved changes will be made available at the next scheduled review.
A copy of the markup will be provided to the TOMA or designated individual at the conclusion of the review. The Contractor must ensure all comments from previous IPRs have been incorporated prior to the next scheduled IPR. With prior approval of the TOMA, IPRs may be combined.
9.3. TO Delivery Requirements for In-Process Reviews. IPR TO data must be technically edited and reviewed according to the TMQA Program Plan. Manuscript (handwritten) data is not acceptable for any data to be reviewed. The TMQA Program Plan checklists must be available for review by the Government during the IPRs. Delivery requirements are contained in Section 2 of the TMCR.
9.4. TO Certification. The Contractor must certify that new TO procedures and data developed to support the program are safe, accurate, adequate, current, and usable for their intended purpose. The Government may witness the certification activities. The Contractor must incorporate comments generated by the certification process into the TOs prior to submitting the TOs for verification. At the completion of the certification, the Contractor must submit a letter to the TOMA through the Government PCO and PM stating that certification has been completed, the certification method used, and that any deficiencies identified during the process have been corrected. The Contractor will ensure all necessary changes and corrections to affected manuals are accomplished in time to meet contract delivery schedule requirements. The Contractor must notify the Government, as identified in the contract, at least 180 days prior to the need date, of any Government Furnished Property (GFP), Government Furnished Information (GFI), and/or Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) as required, to perform certification tasks.

Contractor verification support will consist of on station technical writing and engineering support. The Contractor must maintain a master mark-up of the TM or list of approved changes and record meeting-minute items during the Government verification process. The Contractor must also support all post verification reviews and ensure availability until 100% task verification is attained by the Government.
9.6. TO Prepublication Reviews (PPR). PPRs are examinations of TOs that ensure incorporation of agreed upon changes from previous reviews and verification activities. The Contractor must prepare and deliver copies of TOs and TO updates in contract compliance (MIL-SPEC or as otherwise identified) for the PPR as shown in the delivery matrix. The TOs for PPR must be approved by the Contractor’s QA, be in compliance with the contract specification/DTLs/STDs, and incorporate all verification comments and corrections approved by the TOMA or program management office representative.
9.7. Technical Data Assessment (TDA). The Contractor must submit in-work samples of each specified TM type deliverable to the Government for specification and standardization compliance review. TDAs may be accomplished by using organic TO sustainment environments with the assistance of AFLCMC/GBS (AF TMSS Office, SGMLSUPPORT@us.af.mil).
9.7.1. MIL-SPEC (SGML) TO Data. The Contractor must submit an SGML tagged TO file, associated graphics files, a PDF rendition of the SGML tagged TO file composed by the Contractor and any associated companion files necessary for PDF composition. During assessment, the SGML tagged TO file will be parsed against the appropriate TMSS DTD (and optionally run through the Tagging Utilization Tool (TUT)) to determine DTD compliance and correct tag usage. The SGML tagged TO file and associated graphics will be composed by the program office and the rendered PDF will be compared with the submitted PDF to check for completeness, indexing, and MIL- SPEC/DTL/STD compliant formatting.
9.7.2. Error Resolution. The Contractor must correct any errors found during the TDA prior to each IPR. Additional TDAs may be necessary based on the amount of errors found during the initial TDA. Completion of a TDA in no way relieves the Contractor from the requirement to fix errors found during future reviews.

Graphics Format Guidelines
GUIDELINES:
Encapsulated Post Script (EPS):
• Raster based images will not be saved as EPS but will be saved as TIFF images.
• EPS files must not be a mix of vector and raster images. Vector based images must be saved as
EPS.
• Vector based images saved as EPS will include illustrations containing both vector and raster images.
• Any source data (photos used for tracing etc.); used in aiding of creation of EPS (templates, etc.)
will be deleted from illustration prior to saving/exporting.
• If multiple layers are used, then image is to be flattened into 1 single layer before exporting to minimize file size and reduce possible printing issues.
Tagged Image File Format (TIFF):
• Black and white raster images should only be saved as Bitmap and not Grayscale, RGB or
CMYK.
• Grayscale or Color images (screenshots, etc.) will be saved as such (Grayscale, RGB or CMYK) and will not be bitmap converted using a halftone screen.
• To further aid in file size reduction for storage purposes, images should be compressed using
Group 4 compression when saving/exporting.
Computer Graphics Metafile (CGM):
• Raster based images will not be saved as CGM.
• Any source data used in aiding of creation of CGM (templates, etc.) will be deleted from illustration prior to saving/exporting.
• CGM files must not be a mix of vector and raster images. Vector only.
• If multiple layers are used, then image is to be flattened into 1 single layer before exporting to minimize file size and reduce possible printing issues.
• Unless Version 4 is specifically required for hotspots and/or hyper linking, CGMs should be exported as version 3 to increase cross platform compatibility.
DWG File Format:
• Raster based images will not be saved as DWG.
• DWG files must not be a mix of vector and raster images. Vector only.
• Any source data used in aiding of creation of DWG (templates, etc.) will be deleted from illustration prior to saving/exporting.
• If multiple layers are used, then image is to be flattened into 1 single layer before exporting to minimize file size and reduce possible printing issues.
Joint Photographic Expert Group (JPEG):
(Caution: JPEG 2000 files are not to be used at all due to platform display issues.)
• JPEG File format should be used as last resort. Color screenshots/photos should be saved as
TIFFs due to possible system compatibility issues.
• B&W Bitmaps should not be saved as JPEGs.
Portable Network Graphics (PNG): (Do not use to create graphics for sgml TOs)
• Used for raster graphics
• Supports lossless data compression
Bitmap (BMP):
• Used for raster graphics
Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG):
• Two-dimensional vector and mixed vector/raster graphics
