The offeror will disseminate system policy and procedures. The offeror will track and assist with management of the TO change request process, assist with TO account management, packaging and distribution of classified and unclassified AF TOs and JNWPS publications IAW applicable instructions. They will be required to use current management system software to manage TO accounts and use the Enhanced Technical Information Management System (ETIMS) when implemented. The offeror will convert any and all paper or digital TOs to usable electronic format (for example, PDF, S-1000D, HTML, SGML, XML, etc.) and perform related duties involving TOs and flight manual support. All FMS support hours will be tracked separately for each case.

These positions require employees to be United States Citizens with the capability to obtain and maintain a minimum secret clearance. Restriction on performance by foreign citizens (i.e., those holding non-U.S. Passports): This topic is "Export-controlled". The information and materials provided pursuant to or resulting from this topic are restricted under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), 22 C.F.R. Parts 120 - 130 or the Export Administration Regulation (EAR), 15 C.F.R. Parts 730 - 774, which control the export of sensitive technical data. Foreign Citizens may perform work under an unclassified award resulting from this topic only if they are designated as a US Person, as defined by 22 CFR § 120.15 or if bidder is able to obtain an export license through the Department of State or Department of Commerce.

Potential security risks/export violations may occur when contractors employ foreign nationals or outsource portions of the contract's statement of work. The transfer of sensitive or critical unclassified technology to a foreign national without an approved export license is a violation of the Arms Export Control Act and the Export Administration Act. 11.
