The Technical Manual (TM) Validation Plan defines the contractor's methods, procedures, controls, and resources that will be used to accomplish validation of the TM(s) being procured and developed. The plan is submitted to the Government for review and acceptance prior to development of the TM(s).

This Data Item Description (DID) contains the format and content preparation instruction for the data product generated by the specific and discrete task requirement as delineated in the contract.

The following DID should be considered when TMs are being procured: DI-TMSS-81819, TM Validation Certificate.

Preparation Instructions

1FormatThe TM Validation Plan shall be presented in the contractor's format.

2ContentThe TM Validation Plan shall contain the scope of the validation effort including the methods, procedures, controls, and resources that will be used by the contractor to accomplish validation of TMs to ensure their technical adequacy, accuracy, and compliance with the provisions of the contract and Technical Manual Contract Requirement (TMCR). The plan shall also include the following:

aName and address of contractor and contract number

bSubmittal date for the plan

cIdentification of TMs to be validatedInclude applicable TMCR number(s), TM identification number(s), and title(s) of the TM(s) to be validated.

mLocation/facility-specific environmental requirements

nA detailed description of the validation methods and procedures to be used shall include

1)Review against source data

2)Comparison to actual system/equipment

3)Demonstration of procedures on the actual system/equipment

4)For non-linear Interactive Electronic TMs (IETMs), a description of the approach to evaluate IETM usability (including visual and functional characteristics)

oA detailed description of the specific parts of the TM to be validated and the specific method(s) to be used, such as
