Other / Unclassified

This document is a fact sheet from the Technical Order Public Sales Office at Tinker AFB, Oklahoma. It serves as the centralized source for releasing Technical Orders (TOs) to defense industry partners for requests originating from Tinker, Robins, & Hill Air Force Bases. It outlines the procedures and requirements for requesting TOs to support various scenarios, including:

• Solicitations for US DoD or US Government contracts: Requests must be submitted to the announcing contracting office.
• Existing US DoD or US Government contracts: Requires submission of an AFTO Form 43.
• Non-USAF Managed Foreign Military Sales contracts: Guidance is provided by TO 00-5-19.
• Parts Repair Ordering Systems (PROS): Requests should be sent to the PROS Contract POC.
• Unsolicited Bids, Requests for Information (RFI), or Public Sales Requests: These require specific documentation including a DD Form 2345, a request on company letterhead with detailed company and justification information, and a complete list of TO Numbers (part numbers and NSNs are not acceptable).

This fact sheet is relevant to potential bidders by clarifying the process for obtaining Technical Orders (TOs) necessary for responding to solicitations or supporting existing contracts.
