1.0: Introduction: Onsite Training courses provided by Lavender International for NNSY TOFD and PAUT Training and Examination.

1.1 Background: Code 135 is the Nondestructive Testing Division and is part of Norfolk Naval Shipyard’s Quality Assurance Department (Code 130). This Inspection Division is a modern and complete Non Destructive Testing (NDT) Division responsible for inspection and testing of metals and welding work in Norfolk Naval Shipyard Shops, US Naval Ships in Maintenance Availabilities, and aboard US Navy Ships at Naval Station Norfolk and other sites as required. Code 135 NDT Inspectors are required per the Corporate NDT Written Practice, to receive a minimum 80 hours of training for Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) and a minimum of 80 hours of training for Time of Flight Diffraction Ultrasonic Testing (ToFD). Currently there is no Corporate or Individual Shipyard training plan for PAUT/ToFD available throughout the Corporation.

1.2 Objective/Scope: The objective of this task is to have the vendor, Lavender International, provide Level II Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) and Time-of-Flight-Diffraction (ToFD) on-site training. Lavender International offers on-site training at government facilities, and provides training material and equipment. The intent is for the courses to be available to any candidate in the corporation who meets the appropriate prerequisites. Onsite PAUT/ToFD training at public shipyards will increase the availability of training and accelerate the number of inspectors who can perform this method for URO/MRC and other tasked inspections. On-site will also reduce costs associated with travel and lodging for the total duration of 4 weeks (2 week PAUT and 2 week ToFD) for 12 or more inspectors at a time. Expected dates of training: 7/29/2024 – 8/10/2024 (ToFD), 9/23/2024 – 10/5/2024 (PAUT).

Training will normally be conducted during the hours (0620-1450 hours) Monday thru Saturday for PAUT Training for a 2 week period and normal business hours (0620-1450 hours) Monday thru Friday for TOFD for a 2 week period. The contractor will provide PAUT and TOFD Training to 12 or more students in a 4 week total period. The specific amount of students will be provided prior to scheduling of the training. PAUT training is typically a 96 hour course that provides students the knowledge and skills needed to successfully complete certification testing. TOFD training is typically an 80 hour course that provides students the knowledge and skills needed to successfully complete certification testing.

Onsite Courses: Lavender can provide 5 sets of equipment including Omniscan units, probes/arrays, wedges and encoders (due to value of equipment insurers will not cover more than 5 units away from the office).
