*If not, you will need to visit the AF EPL site or scroll down to the AF EPL searcher and attempt to find it there. Once you have located the software/version, download the SACA certificate (located in the “Attachments” section) and note the certification expiration dates. Go back to the “TAFB SW Listing Review Request” (located in the “How to Request Software” Section) and fill out the required information/attach the certificate. This will notify the Tinker ISSM’s who will take action.* After you add the item it will take 2-3 hours to show up on the list below.*

* If the software or software version is not listed on the AF EPL or reciprocity sites you will need to submit for approval thru Soft Application Certification Assessment SACA.* SACA (dps.mil).

Software Application Certification Assement Overview

According to DoDI 8510.01 and AFI 17-101, software products planned for use on the AF Network (AFNET) or AF SIPRNet shall be certified by one of the following methods: via the Software and Application Certification Assessment process, the Assessment and Authorization (A&A) process as part of an information system or by using any other Federal/DoD Agency's Certification. The decision is made by the local Information System Security Manager (ISSM) to place the software product into the software baseline of the A&A package. Here is a link to the 508 Reasonable Accommodation Software memo authorizing specific 508 Software to be used on the network.

HQ CCC/SACA conducts security testing, evaluates supportability and compatibility then forwards the documents to the Air Force Enterprise Security Control Assessor for certification IAW AFI 17-101. Once certified, the software is placed on the AF Evaluated Products List (AF EPL). A PM/Sponsor starts the process by submitting a validated Application Request Worksheet (ARW) (Please right click to download and save documents) to HQ CCCC/SACA Software Certification Assessments (ccc.saca@us.af.mil).
