Buyer Attachment D Testing Methodology - Google Docs.pdf

The document is an Attachment D - Testing Script for RIP-9-2026, a solicitation for Library Cards on a Requirements Basis. The testing script provides a detailed quality assurance checklist for evaluating library card durability and performance, with specific testing criteria for key card functionality, physical resilience, and barcode scanning capabilities. Each test method requires a pass/no pass determination, with designated columns for comments to document specific observations during the evaluation process.

The testing script includes five key performance criteria: (1) key card separation from patron card, (2) key card insertability and twisting durability on a key ring, (3) library card bendability without breakage, (4) printed information retention after handling, and (5) barcode scanning compatibility with 1D and 2D scanners. Proposers are expected to complete the script by filling in their name, card number, and marking whether each test passes or fails, with an option to provide additional comments. This systematic approach ensures consistent quality assessment of library card materials across potential vendors.
