Information Management System (ETIMS), and International Digital Technical Order
Delivery System (IDTODS).
1.2 Foreign Tactics Manual Production.
1.2.1 General Foreign Tactics Manual Info. The foreign tactics manual production requirement is to have the Contractor provide non-personal services to produce foreign tactics manuals for allied nations in phase with the USAF’s tactics manual revision cycle
(typically every two years) over the contract period.
1.2.1.1 The USAF tactics manuals are weapons system-specific, while the foreign tactics employment manuals are mission-specific. The primary missions include but are not limited to: 5th Generation Aircraft Air-to Surface (A/S), 4th Generation
Aircraft Air-to Surface, Air-to-Air (A/A), Multi-Role, Command and Control (C2), Airlift, Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR), Special Operations, Air Refueling (A/R), Tactical Air Control, Joint Terminal Air Controller (JTAC), Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR), Information Operations (IO), and
Maintenance (MX).
1.2.1.2 The three documents available per country in each revision cycle is a Basic
Employment Manual (BEM), an Advanced Employment Manual (AEM), and
Mission Planning Manual (MPM) unless otherwise coordinated with the 561 JTS.
1.2.1.2.1 The BEM will mirror the unclassified mission tactics of AFTTP 3-3, Combat Fundamentals Manual.
1.2.1.2.2 The AEM will mirror the classified mission tactics of AFTTP 3-1, Tactical Employment Manual.
1.2.1.2.3 The MPM will mirror the classified AFTTP 3-1.General Planning and
Employment Considerations manual and AFTTP 3-1.Shot/Kill manual.
1.2.1.2.4 The AFTTP 3-1.General Planning document is currently undergoing significant rework and being reestablished as AFTTP 3-3/3-1.Integrated Planning and Execution (IPE). When this transition is complete the FMS manuals may mirror the change, phasing out the MPM as an “add on” document to each order, and instead establishing the MPM as a standalone manual with both UNCLASS and SECRET manuals similar to aircraft AEM/BEM.
1.2.1.2.5 This contract includes growth opportunity to potentially produce a 3-
1.Threat Guide for FMS. This document is referred to as the “Intelligence
Planning Manual” (IPM). The contractor would take a fully-sourced US 3-
1.Threat Guide and coordinate release of the Category 8 information with the
Intelligence Community. Initial IPMs would be limited to close partners with faster foreign disclosure processes and slowly grow to more traditional FMS customers. Traditional timelines mentioned in this PWS for manual production would not be applicable to IPMs due to the significant dependence on external assistance, and would require coordination with the 561 JTS prior to tasking.
1.2.2 Foreign Tactics Manual Specific Task. The Contractor will prepare, create, edit, and archive foreign tactics manuals to fulfill 561 JTS and Secretary of the Air Force, International Affairs division (SAF/IA) requirements.
1.2.2.1 The Contractor and 561 JTS will coordinate with ACC/IAS to forecast annual foreign manual production and provide 561 JTS with projected dates of draft document delivery for all forecasted foreign manual orders upon receipt of the delivery order. All changes to these projected dates will be reported to the 561 JTS by the contractor.
1.2.2.2 The 561 JTS will provide the Contractor with specific disclosure guidance tailored to the specific manual tasking.
1.2.2.2.1 This may include, but is not limited to National Disclosure Policy-1 information (NDP-1), CSAF Tactics Release Policy (TRP), and Disclosure
Delegation Letters (DDLs).
1.2.2.2.2 Each allied nation’s tactics manual is subject to a unique editing signature based on published disclosure guidelines and the unique equipment, avionics, and weapons system suite purchased by that allied nation.
1.2.2.3 The Contactor will review all provided disclosure guidance prior to commencing production and report any conflicting or unclear guidance to 561 JTS for clarification or correction.
1.2.2.4 The Contractor will review Defense Intelligence Agency intelligence information disclosure guidance prior to commencing production and report any issues to 561 JTS.
1.2.2.5 The 561 JTS will provide the Contractor with applicable electronic source files for the most current published version of the respective AFTTP volume for foreign manuals on the source files’ native network.
1.2.2.5.1 Electronic source file format will be compatible with editing software provided to the contractor. Paragraph 1.1.2.11 of this document lists the most current editing software in use, but this list is subject to change based on the requirements of the 561 JTS. Editable files provided will include: all text, layered graphics and animation files. Provided files will be configured in production ready format (complete with working embedded intra-chapter and inter-chapter links, tables, figures, animation, videos, and external links) as well as all support files comprised in the composition of the final booked volume. AFTTP volumes provided will be thoroughly vetted and rendered generally free of common spelling and grammatical errors prior to release to the Contractor.
1.2.2.6 If necessary, the Contractor will transfer between networks any data required to fulfill a foreign tactics manual order. The transfer process between networks will be in accordance with all current Department of Defense data transfer policies and regulations.
1.2.2.6.1 For example: the current process requires the Contractor to first appropriately edit, redact, and mark all documents on its native network to comply with the destination network requirements. Next, a hardcopy is printed from the native network and then digitally scanned onto the destination network for further editing. This labor-intensive data transfer process is required for approximately 1000 pages per year.
1.2.2.7 The Contractor will create an aircraft systems and equipment list, complete with information sources and approved by the respective SAF/IA country desk manager for the specific country and aircraft prior to commencing production.
1.2.2.7.1 The primary source for equipment list information will be applicable
DDLs, Letters of Offer and Agreement (LOAs) and the country desk managers.
Equipment lists may require significant independent research on behalf of the
Contractor to include but not limited to: coordinating with the weapons system programs office (SPO), contacting the equipment manufacturer; reviewing and incorporating current information sources; and assembling and reading all
Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) manuals, technical orders, and user handbooks on country-specific equipment, avionics systems, and weapons system capabilities, if necessary. Citations for the equipment list information must be annotated on the document provided to the 561 JTS.
1.2.2.8 The Contractor will create a country-specific Summary Report for every foreign tactics manual order. The report template will be provided by the 561 JTS and will be for internal use only. This document will provide the information in the following subparagraphs.
1.2.2.8.1 General information to include, but not limited to country, system, case number, cost, estimated man-hours for production, number of pages and figures.
1.2.2.8.3 Summary of changes to include all significant modifications from the source documents.
1.2.2.8.4 Classification source list of source documents used to create the foreign tactics manuals, to include classification and date of source document.
1.2.2.8.5 Country-specific notes or correspondence providing background information on any significant changes to the manuals from the previous publication.
1.2.2.8.6 List of threat systems and weapons approved for release by the intelligence community and included in the foreign tactics manuals.
1.2.2.8.7 List of outside agencies foreign disclosure numbers.
1.2.2.9 The Contractor will review and edit any text, figures, animations, tables, videos and additional files to ensure accuracy and adherence to all foreign disclosure guidance, to include but not limited to the current CSAF tactics disclosure policy, security classification guides (SCG), Intelligence Community policy, and equipment lists.
1.2.2.10 The Contractor will produce draft manuals using a “positive pull” of updated information from the most recent US AFTTP updates to the previously-produced foreign tactics manuals to the maximum extent practical.
1.2.2.10.1 The Contractor may reconstruct a new foreign tactics manual from the
AFTTP source document should it be determined that the AFTTP has deviated significantly from the most current foreign tactics manual.
1.2.2.11 The Contractor will act as a foreign disclosure assistant (FDA), and ensure all non-delegated information (Category 8 IAW AFI 16-201, US Navy TTPs, etc.) is either approved by a foreign disclosure officer (FDO) from the original sourced classifying agency, or sourced to an authoritative REL reference for the respective country.
1.2.2.11.1 Non-delegated information is a general term used to encompass any information that the 561 JTS FDO has not been specifically delegated authority to disclose to a foreign government. The information source is “owned” by another agency and disclosure will require written approval from the respective owning-agency’s FDO, or sourcing to a releasable source.
1.2.2.11.2 This step may require significant coordination with outside-agency
FDOs (MSIC, NASIC, US Navy, etc.). Coordination on behalf of the contractor, acting as the FDA, is required for any non-delegated information not previously released by an appropriate FDO. New volumes will require additional coordination, while subsequent updates will require only new non-delegated information to be approved for release.
1.2.2.12 The Contractor will create and preserve a “source packet” consisting of all source documents (e.g. emails, press releases, handbooks, slideshows, etc.) in electronic Adobe portable document format (PDF) that were used to determine releasability of non-delegated information.
1.2.2.12.1 All non-delegated information maintained within the foreign tactics manuals will require supporting documentation to ensure releasability. This may be but not limited to, a written approval from an owning agency’s FDO or a source document that is releasable to the applicable country (e.g. Janes information, authoritative document produced by an intelligence community member).
1.2.2.13 The Contractor will produce and provide the following items to the 561 JTS for acceptance of the draft document files on or before the projected delivery date in paragraph 1.2.2.2 of this PWS unless otherwise coordinated with the 561 JTS.
1.2.2.13.1 Draft manual(s) in PDF with a “DRAFT” watermark. This document will identify all differences from previous manual edition, and annotate specific reasons for all content changes.
1.2.2.13.2 Aircraft systems and equipment list outlined in paragraph 1.2.2.7
1.2.2.13.3 Summary report outlined in paragraph 1.2.2.8
1.2.2.13.4 Source packet outlined in paragraph 1.2.2.12
1.2.2.14 The FDO will review the draft documents and source material to verify proper application of disclosure guidance accomplished by the FDA.
1.2.2.15 The Contractor will submit an invoice for the foreign tactics manual delivery order line number upon approval of the draft document by the FDO.
1.2.2.15.1 The date the Contractor submits the invoice for work completed defines the date of invoice (DOI), and is the reference date for delivery of the final foreign tactics manuals.

During the period between contract award and assumption, the contractor will provide property, facilities, training and/or services at their own expense.
At contract start, the government will provide the contractor with equipment, software and furnishings used during the previous contract effort. After contract assumption, the government shall provide all other computer equipment, software, and administrative supplies (paper, pens, etc.) necessary to perform services related to the contract. This includes, but is not limited to, computer stations, printers, scanners, shredders, unclassified fax, CD/DVD-ROM writer/printer, color copier, and current ACC-accepted versions of software necessary to maintain compatibility with the 561 JTS.
3.2 Government-Furnished Property/Facilities/Equipment. The government will furnish or make available property, facilities (approximately 1600 square feet of workspace), furniture, secure voice capability, and NIPRNET/SIPRNET connectivity to the contractor to support this contract. Modifications to minimum requirements may be available based upon workload, as determined by the 561 JTS Program Manager (PM).
Government facilities have been inspected for compliance with the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA). No hazards have been identified for which work-around has been established. Compliance with the OSHA and other applicable laws and regulations for the protection of employees is exclusively the obligation of the contractor. Further, the government will assume no liability or responsibility for the contractor’s compliance or noncompliance with such requirement, with the exception of the aforementioned requirement to make corrections according to approved plans of abatement subject to base-wide priorities. No alterations to the facilities will be made without specific written permission from the contracting officer. In the case of alterations necessary for compliance with OSHA, such permission will not be unreasonably withheld. The contractor will return the facilities to the government in the same condition as received, fair wear and tear and approved modifications excepted. These facilities will only be used to perform US Government-related work in accordance with this PWS.
3.2.1 Property Inventory. An inventory of Government-Furnished Property (GFP)
(furniture, secure phone, computers and associated infrastructure) must be done no later than 5 calendar days after the start of the contract, 30 calendar days prior to the start of any option periods, and not later than 30 calendar days before completion of the contract period (including any option periods). The contractor and a government representative (identified by the contracting officer) will conduct a joint inventory of all GFP and the contractor will sign a receipt for all property provided by the government. The inventory list is maintained at the 561 JTS. Items of property missing or not in working order will be recorded and the contracting officer notified in writing. The contractor and the COR will jointly determine the working order and condition of all property and document their findings on the inventory. In the event of disagreement between the contractor and the COR on the working order and condition of property, the disagreement will be treated as a dispute under the disputes clause.
3.2.2 Property Accountability. By completion or extension of the contract, a joint inventory of equipment will be conducted by the contractor and a Government representative. The contractor will be liable for loss or damage to GFP beyond fair wear and tear in accordance with the clause of the contract, "Government-Furnished
Property." Compensation will be effected either by reduced amount owed to the contractor or by direct payment by the contractor, the method to be determined by the
Contracting Officer. All equipment in need of repairs/maintenance will be repaired/maintained by the contractor within 20 business days of discovery (warranty items will be repaired/maintained by the warranty vendor), but before the joint inventory is made. All repairs/maintenance not performed by the contractor will be made at the Government's option and at the contractor’s expense. In the case of damaged property, the amount of compensation due the Government by the contractor will be the actual cost of repair, provided such amount does not exceed the economical repair value. In the case of items lost or damaged beyond economical repair, the amount of the contractor’s liability will be the depreciated replacement value of the item, to be determined by the Contracting Officer. Any failure of the contractor to agree with such determination will be treated as a dispute under the disputes clause.
3.2.3 Obtaining Replacement of Government-Furnished Property. The
Government is required to replace such equipment in PWS 3.2 only when due to fair wear and tear, and it is no longer usable for its intended purpose. The contractor will submit such requests through the COR.
