Air Force Data Rights
Data rights drive the Air Force’s ability to
qualify new sources
– Air Force personnel evaluate the Air Force’s data
rights position and assigns an acquisition method
suffix code (AMSC)
– The AMSC assists the AF in establishing
qualification requirements and candidates for
increasing competition through alternate sourcing
