The document outlines specific requirements for acquiring and presenting technical manuals for commercial equipment used by the Department of Defense (DOD).

It is intended to support the acquisition of sample COTS manuals for evaluation, acceptable manuals, and any associated supplemental data. This version supersedes the previous DI-TMSS-80527C from August 12, 2011, and is applicable primarily to Army technical manual documentation for commercial equipment.
