Systems Issues Reporting

If you believe you have a mis-award with TTS, UBL, ETB, ROTA or ROTD, the first thing you should do is contact the FABRC @ 888-376-5375 to open a ticket for review. There is also a ‘Support’ tab in TTS that you can use to immediately send an email to the TTS admins for review.

Visit APFA.org, to access a systems issues report form. The reporting link is at the very bottom of the home page:

It is vitally important that you submit this form when you believe you have a mis-award. These issues are reviewed by a Contract/ Scheduling Specialist at APFA, and are logged and tracked for data purposes. The Contract/ Scheduling Department will also determine if the issue relates to any of our Presidential Grievances we have filed. If the issue pertains to a grievance, the information will be added to the proper grievance case file. If it turns out that the issue is a one off situation, it is bounced back to the base for us to handle.

APFA Convention

The APFA Convention will be held in Boston, March 4th-7th at the Hilton Boston Back Bay. All members in good standing are welcome and encouraged to attend.

In Unity,
