develop a SSTP based on testing criteria
outlined in the TSA PGDS Appendix D. The Draft SSTP will be based on the Airport’s
responses to a Site Planning Checklist to be completed >120 days in advance of ISAT. The Final
SSTP shall be delivered to the Airport between 60 and 30 days in advance of projected ISAT
start-up. The ILDT and TSA Acceptance Testing Contractor will conduct review meetings of
the Draft SSTP and Final SSTP per schedule in Table 1, Section 1.3 of this OTA prior to ISAT.
Any requests for deviation from the SSTP testing requirements must be delivered in writing
through a RFV to the TSA RDC and Acceptance Test Lead prior to this Final SSTP meeting for
review and response.

HSTS04-13-H-CT1161
The TSA RDC and TSA Acceptance Test Lead will review/evaluate any requests for phased
testing (e.g. non-consecutive testing activities requiring multiple TSA Test Team trips). Such
requests must be supported by compelling justification and submitted in writing through a RFV
to the TSA RDC and TSA Acceptance Test Lead during the design process and well in advance
of SSTP development. Programming or mechanical changes made before ISAT (typically
during Contractor pre-testing) must be documented and provided to the TSA RDC and TSA
Acceptance Testing Contractor. Once a system enters TRR, no variances will be permitted to the
testing criteria.
1.3.3. Integrated Site Acceptance Testing (ISAT)
Scheduling and Coordination: Construction schedule including the ISAT start date(s) and
duration(s) shall be shared with the TSA Site Lead Contractor, TSA RDC, TSA Acceptance Test
Lead and TSA Acceptance Test Contractor through weekly and monthly meetings and reports
upon submission of the SSTP checklist to ensure all stakeholders maintain schedule awareness.
This schedule shall be distributed each time changes are made to the ISAT start date and/or
duration. Changes made to the schedule within two weeks of the planned ISAT start date may
relieve the TSA of the obligation to begin testing within three business days of the TRR. In this
situation, the ISAT start date could depend on TSA’s testing workload and resource allocation.
Test Results and Reports:
Testing results will be shared in hard copy format with the Airport from the RDC through the
local TSA Point of Contact. Test results will identify security, efficiency and safety concerns.
There are four (4) possible test outcomes:
e Meets PGDS Criteria — The system under test meets CBIS design and PGDS criteria.
e Minor Defects Found — The system under test had no security failures and performance
deficiencies would not impede system performance and staffing levels.
e Major Defects Found — The system under test had no security failures but performance
deficiencies would be detrimental to system performance and/or staffing levels.
e Fail—The system under test produced security failures and/or deficiencies that would be
excessively detrimental to system performance and staffing levels.
In the event of a failed ISAT result, TSA reserves the right to defer any subsequent re-tests for a
period of at least 30 days.
