6. NOTES
(This section contains information of a general or explanatory nature that may be helpful, but is not mandatory.)
6.1 Intended use. COTS manuals and supplemental data are intended for support of COTS equipment used by
the Department of Defense. The intent of this specification is not to standardize the style, format, size, or content of
COTS manuals, but to provide evaluation criteria for acceptance of COTS manuals and provide the requirements for
supplemental data for selection by the Government.

a.
Title, number, and date of the specification (or any TMCR referencing this specification).

Issues of documents to be cited in the solicitation (see 2.2.1).
c.
A copy of the COTS manual for Government reproduction and use is required to determine whether it is
acceptable (Appendix A) for use or whether supplemental data is required (see 3.1).
d.
When an existing COTS manual is reviewed, the acceptability certificate (Appendix B) should be provided
(see 3.1).
e.
Content requirements other than those specified in 3.2.
f.
Specification tailoring requirements for supplemental data by selection of content and format requirements
g.
An ITPS is other than as specified (see 3.3.1).

If cross-reference indices are not required (see 3.3.13.4).
p.
Changes to the supplemental manual should be specified only when they pertain to technical manual
corrections resulting from a hardware change or modification. They may also be specified if it has been
determined that significant omissions of technical data or information have been identified. Do not specify
a change to correct minor or editorial corrections. When changes are justified on the above basis, the
change package should include the correction of all outstanding temporary or interim changes and may
include minor changes (see 3.5.1).
q.
When revisions are required (see 3.5.2).
r.

6.3 Technical manual acquisition. This specification (or a TMCR based on this specification) should be listed
on the Contract Data Requirements List (DD Form 1423) in order to acquire the technical manuals and supplemental
data described by this specification. An alternate acquisition strategy should be devised by contracting officers for
those solicitations or contracts which are exempted from using the Uniform Contract Line Item Numbering System
(UCLINS).
6.3.1 Sample COTS manual. When COTS manuals are required for evaluation to determine their acceptability,
the solicitation should state how many samples of the COTS manuals should be included in the bid package.
