3.0           PUBLICATIONS CATEGORIES

 

DDX technical publications consist of four categories as follows:

Category 1 – System Publications, new or revised Equipment Publications ,TRSs, and General Information Publications

Category 2 – Existing Government Publications other than NAVSEA publications.

Category 3 – Commercial Publications

Category 4 – Existing NAVSEA Publications

 

The SELLER shall propose the use of applicable Category 1, 2, 3 or 4 technical publications in the TDDP (see Paragraph 10.4) and response to the RFQ, but the TDDP must be approved by the Navy before commencement of technical publications development.  Category 1, 2, 3, and 4 technical publications are further defined as follows:

 

3.1   Category 1 – Category 1 technical publications are system and equipment publications developed in accordance with MIL-DTL-24784(SH).  Systems and equipment publications approved by the Navy for development as Category 1 publications will be in support of the following:

·         New design or modified equipment

·         Equipment not supported by existing Government or commercial publications or supported by inadequate Government/commercial publications

·         Equipment supported by Government publications requiring extensive revision in lieu of a change

 

The SELLER shall determine whether Government or commercial publications exist to support equipment being procured and shall make initial determination regarding adequacy and extent of a change or revision required.  (The BUYER will provide assistance upon request.)  If no publications exist to support equipment, new publications must be developed in accordance with the DDX Technical Data Style Guide, MIL-DTL-24784B(SH) and the approved TDDP.  If existing publications are determined by the BUYER to be inadequate or are subsequently determined by the Navy to be inadequate, new or revised publications shall be developed in accordance with the content requirements of MIL-DTL-24784B(SH), DDX Technical Data Style Guide and the approved TDDP.  If existing publications are adequate but require change pages in excess of 25% of the total publication pages, a new or revised publication shall be developed in accordance with the DDX Technical Data Style Guide, MIL-DTL-24784B(SH) and the approved TDDP.  If an existing  publication that requires an update rev is SGML or XML coded in accordance with NAVSEAC2.DTD, the SELLER may use a copy of  the existing NAVSEAC2 DTD Source Files in preparation of the update revision.
