4.2.2 The contractor shall ship software/firmware upgrades directly to AFMETCAL.

4.2.3 The contractor (at no additional cost) shall provide technical support for normal software/firmware usage, clarification of documentation, and resolution of software/firmware problems. The contractor shall have multiple methods for convenient contact of Technical Support. Contact methods may include but are not limited to on-line or telephone.

4.3 Interchangeability:

4.3.1 When software/firmware upgrade is anticipated by a manufacturer during the life of this contract, the contractor shall contact AFMETCAL for concurrence. If AFMETCAL concurs with the proposed upgrade, all previous units delivered under this contract shall be updated to this upgrade.

4.3.2 All software/firmware provided under this contract shall be at the same version, revision, and revision date at the completion of the contract.

4.3.3 Software/firmware shall be updateable by AFMETCAL through communication protocols with Windows based-PC or external drive. Instructions on how to perform the update and any required communication software shall be provided

5.0 OPERATOR’S MANUAL: The hardware manual shall describe how to set up and operate the unit along with a design schematic of the unit as stated in the DD1423 and DIDs. Remote commands shall be listed in the operator’s manual.

6.0 ENVIRONMENT, SAFETY, AND OPERATIONAL HEALTH: A combination of the system manual, other documentation, and/or the system itself shall identify potential environment, safety and operational health hazards and how they are mitigated when the design itself cannot mitigate them. This will be accomplished through stating the hazard and accompanying mitigation through the use of safety devices, use of warnings, or use of special operational procedures to counter such hazards.

7.0 TESTING: The Humidity Generator upgrade shall be inspected and accepted at a destination specified elsewhere in this contract. The item will be checked with test equipment and parameters equal to or better than those required assuring specified performance requirements are met. Test equipment has first echelon certification directly traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) or other AFMETCAL approved sources where required. Tests will be performed using, at minimum, a Fluke 5698-25 Standard Platinum Resistance Thermometer to assure the Humidity Generator upgrade meets or exceeds all of the requirements of this purchase description. Such testing does not relieve the contractor of performing all inspections and quality control checks at the point of fabrication as necessary to assure performance as specified.
