The contractor will develop all courseware using the current, updated model of Instructional Systems Development (ISD) as defined in AFM 36-2234 and AFH 36-2235. Courseware materials will support formal course programs and CT programs and may be used for resident and non-resident training. Courseware materials are affected by aircraft hardware, software, tactics, local course rules, flight information publications and safety publications. The contractor will provide the required number of SMEs for CWD.

1.5.2. Instructional System Development Management Plan (ISDMP). The contractor shall develop, produce, and provide an ISDMP as defined in Attachment 1 to this PWS. This plan shall describe ISD activities to be performed during the analysis, design, development and implementation of the training system. The principal use of this plan is to provide the program management agency a basis for evaluating the effectiveness of applying the ISD process over the life cycle of the training system. The contractor shall submit a stand-alone version of this plan during Phase-in, not later than 15 days prior to the start of performance.

1.5.2.1. Review/Modification Process and Acceptance of the ISD Management Plan. After contract award, the contractor will submit the ISDMP as a stand-alone document not later than 10 days prior to the start of performance and the TSME and CWSME will review the ISDMP and submit it to the COR for approval. Not more than 30 calendar days after contract award, the contracting officer (CO) and COR will notify the contractor if any modifications are required.

1.5.3. Existing Courseware. All existing courseware (in all formats) is Air Force property and will be transferred to the contractor in its current condition. Courseware will not be destroyed or disposed of without knowledge and consent of the CWSME. During solicitation, all interested parties will have a chance to view existing courseware at a date and time specified by the CO. The government shall transfer existing courseware to the contractor during the phase-in period on a noninterference basis.

The contractor will review and/or revise courseware materials as stated in paragraphs 1.5 and 4.6.12.

1.5.3.2. Courseware Delivery Schedule (CDS). The CDS provides a comprehensive quarterly schedule for courseware production. Contractor courseware deliveries are scheduled and developed by the quarter and are expected to be evenly flowed throughout the year to prevent excessive deliveries at year-end. The government will establish a set period in Attachments 3-9 to either accept or return a deliverable. The acceptance period provided to the government is based upon a relatively steady flow of deliverables from the contractor. The contractor shall turn in as a minimum, 50% of the quarterly deliverables by the end of the second month of that quarter. Waiver of the CDS delivery timeline shall be at the discretion of the Det 3, ACC TRSS/CC.

1.5.3.3. New Courseware. For the purposes of this PWS, new production of courseware shall be accomplished when little or no previous courseware is available for instruction or when new subsystems are added. New production requires the full development of content and graphics and the original development of all courseware package components. New lessons shall conform to ISD processes and principles. The workload estimate for new production is 100%. The new rate is inclusive for all courseware products and assessments.

1.5.3.4. Courseware Revision. Revisions are part of updating and improving courseware. Revisions ensure that technical accuracy and instructional validity are maintained. For the purposes of this PWS, a revision of courseware shall be accomplished when a lesson requires work in the areas of content, structure, presentation media or format. Lessons requiring revisions are identified by the government or the contractor through the review process. Revisions add, amend, correct, substitute, delete or modify existing data. A revision affects courseware objectives and requires additional resources. Lessons shall conform to ISD processes and principles. Workload requirements to make revision changes are estimated at an average of 50% of the time required to develop a new lesson of the same level. It is expected that the workload will require more than a 50% effort in some cases and less than 50% in others. The revision rate is inclusive for all courseware products and assessments. EC-130H CCMCS/ WST Scenario Development workload tables in Appendix 1 use a “major revision” with a 67% effort and “minor revision with 33% effort to better quantify the work required. If, after acceptance, any change to the courseware is required, the level of effort is identified as revision or as review.

1.5.3.5. Courseware Review. Reviews are part of updating and improving courseware. For the purposes of this PWS, a review of courseware consists of making corrections to spelling, grammar, sentence structure, template format, and making minor changes to lesson content, examination packages and presentation material. Reviews ensure technical accuracy and instructional validity are maintained. During a review, all the lesson material is present but updating is required to keep the lesson current. Lessons shall conform to ISD processes and principles. Workload requirements are estimated at an average of 20% of the time required to develop a new lesson of the same level. It is expected that the workload will require more than a 20% effort in some cases and less than 20% in others. The review shall identify any remaining work required to be current, correct and instructionally sound.

1.5.3.6. Courseware Survey. Surveys are part of updating and improving courseware. For the purpose of this PWS, a survey consists of identifying and making minor corrections, publications checks and test question reviews for currency. Courseware surveys are estimated at an average of 10% of the time required to develop a new lesson of the same level. It is expected that the workload will require more than a 10% effort in some cases and less than 10% in others.

1.5.3.7. Urgent Action Directive (UAD). The contractor will develop new courseware or revise existing courseware in response to each UAD issued by HQ ACC on an as-required basis. The SME will furnish all required event details. New or revised courseware will be completed within 48 hours after notification by the SME or completed and approved by the TSME prior to instruction (whichever is later).

1.5.3.8. Out-of-Cycle Changes. These revisions are minor in nature and occur outside the normal 2-year review and/or revision cycle. The contractor shall update existing academic and training device courseware in response to formal syllabus, TO, and AFI changes which affect the content of the lesson. The CWSME will notify the contractor of the requirement for the change and will furnish all required event details. The revised courseware shall be completed by the contractor within 14 calendar days of notification or completed and approved by the CWSME prior to instruction (whichever is later). Out-of-cycle changes are not incorporated in the workload estimate for courseware development. However, credit for out-of-cycle changes directed by an appropriate government CWSME will be credited against the annual CWD workload.

1.5.3.9. Courseware Media. The contractor shall develop electronic master files for courseware media IAW the formats directed in paragraph 1.7.1.1. of this PWS. The contractor shall maintain a redundant master files system while retaining an in-house back-up in case of catastrophic events.
