About this file
This document is a Calibration Standard Specification (CSS) for an Oxygen Clean Low Pressure Calibrator (OCLPC). The OCLPC is required to calibrate various oxygen clean test instruments used by the Navy in shipboard and shore-based laboratories, as well as for on-site and in-place calibration. Key requirements include:
The OCLPC must be capable of generating, controlling, and monitoring pressure from -13.2 to 200 psig with specific measurement uncertainty tolerances. It must support calibrating various pressure measuring instruments and be designed for use with compressed nitrogen. The OCLPC must meet environmental, electrical, safety, digital interface, maintainability, and other detailed technical requirements. Accessories such as hoses, adapters, and a transit case are also specified.
This CSS document is related to a federal contract opportunity issued by the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Corona Division, seeking information from potential sources to provide the OCLPC. The opportunity is a pre-solicitation sources sought notice, not a request for proposals. Interested parties are requested to provide capability statements including pricing estimates and lead times by September 23, 2024.

The alignment process shall be able to use existing Navy calibration standards to satisfy a traceable calibration.
This alignment information provided shall include any necessary software (preferably software commands) usable via any allowable communications interface in 3.4 Digital Interface and usage instructions required to perform an alignment (to include any necessary setup instructions and/or software commands to put the equipment into the alignment mode, instructions and/or software commands necessary to gather new alignment data, along with any software algorithms required to format the alignment data into the appropriate data required by the equipment, and instructions and/or software commands necessary to reprogram the equipment with the new alignment data).
If software is required for the alignment process, preference will be given to software that uses current Navy calibration standards without modification (or the modification must be able to be performed by the Navy). Alternatively, if the software will not use Navy calibration standards without modification and modification by the Navy is not possible, preference will be given if the manufacturer supplies the explicit instructions and/or software commands and any necessary algorithms for the Navy to develop its own organic alignment support using existing Navy calibration standards.
3.11.5.4.3 Accessibility for Adjustment. The equipment design shall permit adjustments of components that are changeable without removing any component, printed circuit cards, or subassembly. The use of extender cards is permitted.

3.11.5.4.4 Alignment Instructions/Software. If the equipment has alignment data stored in memory (example: EEPROM, data files, DACs, etc.) that is necessary for the equipment to meet its performance specification and modification of this alignment data is necessary after repair or a calibration failure, the equipment shall be designed and information provided so that the alignment can be performed by the Navy. The alignment process shall be able to use existing Navy calibration standards to satisfy a traceable calibration.
This alignment information provided shall include any necessary software (preferably software commands) usable via any allowable communications interface in 3.4 Digital Interface and usage instructions required to perform an alignment (to include any necessary setup instructions and/or software commands to put the equipment into the alignment mode, instructions and/or software commands necessary to gather new alignment data, along with any software algorithms required to format the alignment data into the appropriate data required by the equipment, and instructions and/or software commands necessary to reprogram the equipment with the new alignment data).
If software is required for the alignment process, preference will be given to software that uses current Navy calibration standards without modification (or the modification must be able to be performed by the Navy). Alternatively, if the software will not use Navy calibration standards without modification and modification by the Navy is not possible, preference will be given if the manufacturer supplies the explicit instructions and/or software commands and any necessary algorithms for the Navy to develop its own organic alignment support using existing Navy calibration standards.
3.11.6 Repair. Maintenance instructions shall be furnished to facilitate the replacement of SRAs and subsequent testing procedures to ensure the performance of the SRA or the repair action taken. (See MIL-PRF-28800F paragraph 6.5.2.18 Non-repairable subassembly for guidance when a subassembly may be deemed non-repairable to aid in the identification of SRAs that can be repaired/replaced.)
