AVTB 6-Month TSS PWS

INTRODUCTION

Background The United States Marine Corps (USMC) Amphibious Vehicle Test Branch (AVTB) is a Department of Defense (DoD) sponsored test facility that provides year-round Test and Evaluation (T&E) of amphibious vehicles, ground combat vehicles, systems, and equipment for the Marine Corps Systems Command (MCSC) and Program Executive Officer Land Systems (PEO LS). AVTB is the responsible test organization under Marine Corps Tactical Systems Support Activity (MCTSSA) for T&E throughout the lifecycle of the vehicle platform.

AVTB applies a deliberate and documented set of processes in the execution of combat vehicle system and equipment testing. All T&E projects at AVTB follow the seven phases (Initiate, Plan, Prepare, Execute, Analyze, Report, and Close). The Contractor will assist with all phases, depending on project scope, duration, and technical requirements.

This Performance Work Statement (PWS) describes operational and technical support services in the following functional areas that facilitate the command’s mission for conducting testing at AVTB:

Technical Editor Electronics Technician Media Support Specialist/Media Technician Administrative Assistant Scope AVTB requires the Contractor to support both water and land testing of amphibious and ground combat vehicles at Marine Corps Base (MCB), Camp Pendleton, CA and other locations as required. Testing requires operators and maintainers to support personnel and assets organic to AVTB. These personnel will play a vital role in different components and efforts that make up each test. The government-furnished assets (watercraft and vehicles) will be used to support multiple test activities. The Contractor shall provide a team of highly qualified personnel to support all designated waterborne and land activities that fall under the responsibility of AVTB.

The scope of this effort is to provide technical editing and administrative assistance for AVTB engineering tasks and test events. In addition, the Electronics & Metrology Lab at AVTB requires reinforcement of the current electronics technical support and media support, which provides instrumentation, data acquisition, photography, and audio/video recording.

Technical Editing Services The Contractor shall provide technical editing services related to AVTB test planning, test managing, and test reporting. Documents must be technically accurate and grammatically correct. Documents include the development and modification of test plans and test reports.

The Contractor shall have experience and knowledge with writing style guides to include Gregg Reference Manual, Chicago Manual of Style, and Navy Correspondence Manual; knowledge of DoD distribution statements; expert knowledge of Microsoft (MS) Word, Adobe Acrobat Pro, MS Visio, and SharePoint.

In addition, the Contractor shall provide the following services:

· Edit AVTB-specific technical documents, such as detailed test plans (DTPs), final test reports (FTRs), interim data reports (IDRs), quick look reports (QLRs), technical notes, and process sheets using MS Visio.

· Edit other official correspondence as required.

· Use the Track Changes and Comments functions in MS Word.

· Format documents, including tables, figures, references, table of contents, headers, footers, section breaks; create and apply styles, etc.

Conduct this observation via wireless telemetry or through direct physical observation.

· Provide real-time verbal reports to test team members concerning instrumentation status.

· Notify the test team immediately if a problem is observed. Previously established go/no-go criteria in the DTP for each event will be used to determine if the test should continue.

· Provide technical information concerning possible instrumentation problems and exceptions, a description of data acquisition system performance, an assessment concerning the accuracy of final measurements, and any possible caveats accompanying measurement results for technical reports.

· Retrieve and process instrumentation data collected from test vehicles during the course of formal testing. Data processing involves converting raw data (i.e., Level 1 data) into Level 2 data, using the government-provided computer programs and knowledge gained from the active monitoring of instrumentation during test execution. Level 2 data is defined as “reduced data or data taken from the raw form and consolidated with invalid or unnecessary data points identified as such with supporting rationale.”

· Support quarterly lab inventory reviews by completing the provided inventory checklists from the lab team lead. Inventory reviews involve locating the government-owned item, verifying that the serial number matches the record, and if necessary, returning the item to its appropriate location.

· Test performance of electromechanical assemblies using test instruments, such as oscilloscopes, electronic voltmeters, or bridges.
