All evaluations will include supportability issues, and consider the impact of the proposed solution on the human equipment interfaces. Supportability issues to include maintenance planning, supply support, packaging, ha ndling, storage, transportation/transportability, facilities, standardization, interoperability, manpower, personnel, and training. 5) The contractor will perform the following pertaining to purchase descriptions, specifications: Search for information on parameters for performance and design requirements provided by the project engineer. Prepare text, including sections as appropriate for scope; design and performance criteria; minimum or maximum capacity, dimensions, speed, and weight; or other special re quirements. Prepare narratives of intended use of products under consideration. Prepare detailed narrative and technical descriptions of products. Prepare camera-ready copy of charts, figures, illustrations, and tables. Prepare material requirements for pr oducts. Prepare requirements for standard and high-reliability parts. Incorporate Government requirements for reliability, availability, maintainability, transportability, human factors engineering, environmental protection, materiel deterioration preventi on and control, health and safety. Prepare detailed technical requirements for products and their finishes, treatments, painting and coatings, identification markings, and workmanship. Prepare requirements for inspections and systematic patterns for inspec tions, environmental stress screening (ESS), and quality assurance. There will be quality assurance provisions for each requirement. Prepare test procedures to assure quality, reliability, and maintainability of product. Prepare requirements for preservati on, packaging, packing, and marking for shipment. Prepare inspection patterns, examination and test procedures for determining the adequacy of packaging, packin g, and marking for shipment. Prepare ordering data required by the user agency to clearly define the specific end product. Apply and reference current established Federal, military, and industry specifications and standards. Prepare proposed lists of Gover nment and industry documents required to support the direct procurement of the product involved. Provide thorough technical and editorial reviews to assure accuracy and completeness of the specifications. 6) The contractor will not be required to handle cl assified data; however, some of the data may be proprietary to the vendor. The contractor will require access to the technical data repository system located at the U.S. Army Communications Electronics Command, Fort Monmouth, New Jersey. Due to the extensive interaction between PM MEP and the vendor, it is necessary that the contractor be located within fifty (50) miles of Fort Belvoir, VA. The intent of this survey is to obtain information to create fair opportunity for award of a Time an d Material order under FAR Part 8. Therefore, the contractor must currently be on GSA Schedule.
