Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com Chapter 5 MANPRINT in the Source Selection Process 5–1. Treatment of MANPRINT a. MANPRINT will be treated as a distinct major managerial and technical area based in part on the results of analyses provided by the associated ICT or IPT recommendations, and/or the contents of the ORD or SMMP, or directions from the CBTDEV or TSM. Of critical importance is the role of MANPRINT in the final source selection process. MANPRINT needs to be identified as a factor in the selection process so that contractors address it in their responses to the RFP.
Once actual work begins, MANPRINT issues will be continuously addressed and evaluated throughout the life cycle of the program. This is especially important since the majority of the Army’s life cycle costs for fielding are incurred for personnel and human resources. b. Treatment of MANPRINT will be tailored appropriately to suit the nature and priorities of the program and contract effort. 5–2. Implementation a. Program managers have a responsibility to address human systems integration (MANPRINT in the U.S. Army) as an essential part of the overall system design and acquisition process. b.
Solicitations shall require offerors to respond to all pertinent MANPRINT considerations in the statement of work (SOW), which shall reflect requirements from the ORD/mission needs statement (MNS) (and possibly enhanced through market research and/or IPT contributions). Important MANPRINT issues or opportunities identified in para- graph 4 or 5 of the ORD shall be addressed and evaluated as specific, stand-alone functional requirements in the SOW. c. The specifications will describe how the system is to operate for the user in the operational environment, how the human influences performance parameters, and in the quality assurance paragraphs, how those requirements shall be verified.
Specifications should also clearly identify any MANPRINT objectives and thresholds identified in the ORD. d. MANPRINT deliverables under the contract should be included in the contract data requirements list (CDRL). e. MANPRINT considerations should be included in section L, Instructions to Offerors, and section M, Evaluation Factors, for award. f. MANPRINT considerations need to be an explicit part of the source selection planning and implementation process. All required and appropriate MANPRINT requirements and opportunities will be evaluated and considered in the best value trade-off analyses associated with source selection for acquisition of all Army systems (see fig B–4). g.
The Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB) should include representatives from each of the respective MANPRINT domains where appropriate. Chapter 6 MANPRINT/HSI Practitioner of the Year Awards 6–1.
