. NAVSEA/SPAWAR TMMP Operations and Life Cycle Support Procedures. Technical Manual Life Cycle Training. Reference documents and forms. Integrated technical manual library management support. Access to technical manual on-line. Technical Data Manual Management Information Systems (TDMIS) TDMIS is the web-based application technical manual life-cycle tracking system maintained by NSDSA and used worldwide.

Access to TDMIS provides NAVSEA, SPAWAR and NAVAIR with complete technical manual management functionalities. TDMIS products and services include:.

User Registration. User Training. User Support. Tailored Reports This database contains the current change and/or revision configuration information and historical information for each technical manual. Other technical manual information contained in the database includes the distribution list, equipment/Allowance Parts List applicability, individual hull applicability and supersede history.

On-line access to digital technical manuals is available via TDMIS. Access and registration can be requested at and TDMIS login is available. SMART-T SMART-T is a web application tool that provides a fast, easy, and accurate means for defining tailored Technical Manual (TM) acquisition and development requirements that conform to current NAVSEA-approved specifications, standards, and NAVSEA Technical Manual Management Program policy. Generated products from SMART-T are the tailored Technical Manual Contract Requirements (TMCR) document and Technical Mnual SEATASK Requirement (TMSR) document which are intended for use in a Solicitation, Contract, Task/Delivery Order, or Government Agency tasking. The TMCRs/TMSRs are tailored to the specific level, purpose, and end use requirements for optimum cost-effective acquisition and follow-on maintenance of TMs.

A TMCR is an acquisition document that is uniquely tailored to describe the format, style, and technical content requirements for a TM. It also includes general requirements for preparation and delivery of the TM and associated TM products like the TM Schedule and Status Report, TMQA Program Plan, Validation Plan, etc.

A TMCR is used when the TM is to be acquired from and developed by a contractor. The TMCR becomes a part of the contract. The TMCR must be used in conjunction with associated Contract Data Requirements Lists (CDRLs) and a Statement of Work (SOW). The SOW defines objectives and task associated with the TM development effort and the CDRLs are required for use in identifying potential data requirements in a solicitation, and to order the selected data items from a contract. A TMSR (Technical Manual SEATASK Requirement) is essentially the same as a TMCR. The difference being that the TMSR is used when the Government is the manual preparing activity. SMART-T products and services include:.

Tailored TMCRs/TMSRs produced in real time. TMCR/TMSR Repository with TMCRs/TMSRs available on the web 24/7. Guidance in Technical Manual Acquisition SMART-T is available at Technical Manual Deficiency Evaluation Report (TMDER) TMDERs are a critical technical manual feedback service for NAVSEA, managed at NSDSA. With access to TDMIS, TMDERs ensure that our fleet has the most current and accurate publications available.
