RECOMMENDED PROCESS FOR ETM/IETM CONTRACTING<br />

The matrix is intended to allow ETM programs to define their<br />

requirements in language that is accepted and understood by<br />

industry. For a competitive bid, it’s anticipated that the<br />

bidders would provide completed matrices back with pricing<br />

information that would enable "apples to apples" evaluation. Once<br />

pricing has been completed, the acquisition officer can review<br />

the pricing provided by the offerors with the intent that<br />

comparisons can be made from the completed matrices. These can<br />

serve as a basis for fact-finding as well.<br />

This tool can help the acquisition manager evaluate the cost<br />

benefit associated with ETMs and trade off higher cost<br />

functionality requirements with those of lower cost.<br />

USE OF THE FUNCTIONALITY MATRIX<br />

The matrix is intended to serve as a "shopping list" for desired<br />

capabilities for various types of typical technical data. Some of<br />

the functionalities for specific data types are mutually<br />

exclusive and therefore grayed out. For example, in the<br />

navigation functionality, it is anticipated that one method or<br />

functionality would be used for all data types. There are also<br />

some conditional relationships by definition that need to be<br />

considered by the acquisition manager e.g. IPB/IPC (Illustrated<br />

Parts Breakdown/Illustrated Parts Catalog) data would have to be<br />

acquired in order to impart the Parts Ordering functionality (See<br />

attachments).<br />

For the purposes of this document and its attachments, “tech<br />

data” refers to the data traditionally found in technical<br />

manuals and publications (not necessarily including engineering<br />

or program data).<br />

The matrix is broken out into two separate sheets representing<br />

different ETM strategies. There is one matrix each for page<br />

oriented publications, and Interactive Electronic Publications<br />

(IETP).<br />

Page oriented publications are presented in a linear or document<br />

oriented manner. The data author largely predefines the<br />

sequence of the data presentation. Page oriented publications<br />

can be designed for traditional printing or for electronic<br />

display. Electronically displayed page oriented publications<br />

are sometimes called Electronic Technical Manuals (ETM) or<br />

Electronic Technical Publications (ETP).<br />
