NAVSEA Tracking Number: C114

RFP Reference: Attachment 21, Sample Problem 4, Test Plans

Question: Sample Problem 4 states that the “Offeror shall develop a sea trials agenda and the test plans necessary to test the functionality of Link 22”.

NAVSEA Tracking Number response C091 dated 22 August 2013 states that “Test procedures are required to be updated as part of this sample problem.” Link test procedures are not provided on Viewnet.

Please confirm the Government will provide the Link test procedures required for Link-22 testing.

Response:

No, the Government’s intent is for the Offeror to develop test procedures for Link 22 using the Link 16 Test Procedures and Link 22 Information provided. The statement from NAVSEA Tracking Number response C091 “Test procedures are required to be updated as part of this sample problem” should have read “Test procedures are required as part of this sample problem.”

NAVSEA Tracking Number: C115

RFP Reference: Section L 4.2.2, b) Waterfront Integration and Test

Question: NAVSEA Tracking Number response C105 dated 22 August 2013 States that “The mapping to specific requirements refers to the results being mapped to the test “elements” derived during test procedure development.

A description and/or list of the test “elements” has not been made available on ViewNet.

Please confirm that the government will provide the requisite element information for the test procedures provided on Viewnet and also provide the current mapping of test results to test “elements” for those procedures.

Response:

The Government will not provide additional test element information. The development of test elements is described in DOD-STD-2106. Please see the response to Question C105 for additional information.

RFP Reference: Attachment 21, Sample Problem 2, Waterfront Test Program

Question: We request clarification of the Test Sequence Networks (TSN) requirements. Based on the sample TSNs available on ViewNet, test durations are included for individual tests.

However, per the General Ship Overhaul Instruction and NAVSEA S9095 AD-TRQ-010/TSTP, test durations and timelines are not required for the TSN. The GSO Instruction states, "TSNs will not show absolute dates or test time requirements only test relationships” and S9095 states, “TSNs do not show dates or schedule, only test relationships.”

If test time requirements (as included in the provided sample TSNs) are required for TSN submission, please confirm that the government will provide the balance of the test duration information for the test procedures identified in the following paragraphs.

The New Construction test procedures for which we request test durations are:

• 3A411C214 Common Display System ILO

• 3A491C204 Training Systems ILO & FT

• 3A439C201 DIVDS ILO & FT

• 4A411C216 CPS & MCE ILO & Diagnostic Test

• 4A482C206 WDRS ILO & FT

• 5A482C207 Kill Assessment System FT

• 5A409C206.1 Combat System Functional Test

• 5A409C208 Internal Voice Comms System FT

• 6A409C207 Combat Systems & CEC FT

• 7A409C206 CEC At-Sea Operational Verification Test

The Aegis Modernization test procedures for which we request test durations are:

• 3A456F201 MFR Transmitter Group ILO

• 3A456F203 MFR Transmitter FT

• 3A456F205 Multi-Mission Signal Processor ILO

• 3A456F206 Multi-Mission Signal Processor FT

• 4A482F206 WDRC ILO & FT

• 5A409F214 ACTS BMD FT

• 5A409F216 BMD & AWS EGMT FT

• 5A409F217.1 BMD & CS FT (INPT)

• 5A409F217.2 BMD & CS FT (At Sea)

• 5A411F239 Ballistic Missile Defense FT

• 5A482F207 Kill Assessment System FT

• 5A411F231 APS & Surface Search Radar FT

Response:

Test durations are required for TSN submission. Utilizing the Test Procedures and the Test Procedure outlines, the Offeror is expected to estimate durations for each test. The Government will not provide the balance of the test duration information for the test procedures identified.
