Heading: The July 29th Acceptance Test

Text: 4 The original solicitation made no mention of a post-award acceptance test. During negotiations, however, the government stated that successful completion of post-award acceptance tests was required, and in an amendment to the solicitation, a section E.1.1.1 was added, entitled Post-award Acceptance Test, which read in part: 5 Successful completion of post-award acceptance tests is required. These tests will involve the execution of MUMPS applications programs and File Manager retrievals against a psuedo-patient data base, containing multiple types of demographic and medical data, of approximately 2500 patients. 6 Section E.1.1.1 also stated that various items necessary to run the tests and evaluate the results would be made available to interested offerors. 7 These items were made available in the form of the July 29, 1986 RPMS Acceptance Test. The test description explained:The purpose of this document is to specify mandatory levels of system performance as measured by a series of acceptance tests. 8
