3.4.9.1. Developmental/Operational Testing (DT/OT). For any system that has not achieved MR, the

Government will conduct DT and OT as part of the initial qualification process to ensure the contract requirements are satisfied both technically as well as in an operational environment. These tests are also required to obtain approval for operational use of these systems from the US Army. During Government DT and OT, the contractor shall be prepared to provide on-call support at a location on or close to the test site. The contractor’s representative(s) shall be capable of inspecting, repairing, maintaining, performing failure analysis of, and training the FWS-I if necessary. DT and OT testing will encompass all testing required to confirm that the system meets all KPPs and Key System Attributes (KSAs), and adheres to the applicable Performance specifications.

3.4.9.2. Production Qualification Test (PQT)/First Article Test (FAT)/Acceptance Test (AT)/Conformance Inspection (CI). For any system that has not achieved MR, the contractor shall conduct PQT, FAT, AT, and CI for FWS-I and all major components as agreed by the IPT, in accordance with the Quality Validation Matrix (QVM) contained in the performance specification and test procedures concurred on by the IPT, to demonstrate conformance to all requirements of the FWS-I performance specifications. PQT qualification by similarity is encouraged and requires Government approval. Re-qualification is required if the system or component manufacturer has not produced the contracted item within the prior 12-month period. The contractor shall notify the IPT before any changes are made to the materials (to include suppliers) or processes utilized to manufacture the qualified FWS-I systems.
