2.6 : In-Service Decision
(Revised 11/2009)
The in-service decision authorizes deployment of a solution into the operational environment. It occurs after demonstration of initial operational capability at the key test site. The decision establishes the foundation for operational readiness to be declared at key site and subsequent sites following completion of joint acceptance and inspection by the operating service organization and certification of compliance with information security requirements. The in-service decision is based on thorough testing to verify performance and operational readiness. The in-service review checklist is used by the service organization to identify and resolve readiness issues before the in-service decision.
The investment decision authority designates the in-service decision authority at the final investment decision. If the JRC retains the in-service decision, the Acquisition Executive is the chairperson at the decision meeting. The investment decision authority may delegate in-service decision authority to other FAA officials.
The in-service decision is recorded in the record of decision. An ISD action plan to resolve remaining operational readiness issues is an attachment to the record of decision. Status of the ISD action plan is tracked and reported at service-level reviews until all issues are resolved.
