About this file
This Data Item Description (DID) provides guidelines for Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) Manuals and Associated Supplemental Data, designated as DI-TMSS-80527D and approved on 20211203. The document outlines 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. Key technical specifications include a preference for Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals (IETMs) or PDFs, with specific requirements that PDF files be searchable, linkable, and have embedded fonts.
The document establishes evaluation criteria based on MIL-PRF-32216, allows for supplementation of manuals to comply with contract requirements, and notes that the basic manual should use the contractor's format while supplemental data follows the acquiring activity's specified format. Additional technical requirements include specific standards for Army-specific manual formats (MIL-STD-40051-1 and MIL-STD-3031), provisions for paper manual legibility, and guidance for Quick Reference Guides (QRGs) to meet MIL-PRF-32614 requirements. This version supersedes the previous DID (DI-TMSS-80527C) dated 12 Aug 2011.
