1. INTRODUCTION

The Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC), Corona Division, Measurement Science & Engineering Department, Interface Engineering & Assessment Division (MS20) builds and maintains Navy Interface Gages for ship-launched missiles, surface and underwater munitions; air-launched missiles and strategic weapons including fleet ballistic missile systems and subsystems.

2. BACKGROUND

Naval Sea System Command (NAVSEA) Integrated Weapons System (IWS) Code 3L has a requirement to procure HEB and MEB Backplane Harness Assemblies. These harnesses make up part of the HEB and MEB, which in turn, are part of the Launch Sequencer (LSEQ) for the MK 41 Vertical Launching System (VLS). These Backplane Harnesses are a critical and required part of the MK 41 VLS.

3. SCOPE

The Contractor shall be responsible for the satisfactory and timely performance of the requirements defined in the Statement of Work (SOW). This SOW, with its supporting attachments and referenced documentation, describes the total requirement for the manufacture, assembly, test and delivery of VLS MEB and HEB Backplane Harness Assemblies.

4. APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS

The Technical Data Package (TDP) consists of drawings 8660446-9 and 8660527-9, and all subcomponent drawings. The included drawings package provides detailed information, including all specifications, for the manufacturing of the harness assemblies. In addition to these drawings, the following documents form a part of this SOW to the extent specified herein, including all applicable terms, conditions, clauses, attachments and exhibits. The Contractor shall apply the latest version of the documents in effect at the time of award of the contract.

4.1 Government Documents

In addition, the attached TDP drawings 8660446-9 and 8660527-9 contain several subcomponent level drawings, including Parts List (PL) and Notice of Revisions (NOR). These files are listed below for each Assembly. The Contractor shall thoroughly review all files to ensure the latest drawing revision and parts are used.

4.2 Industry Documents

5.0 REQUIREMENTS

The Government requires manufacturing of MK 41 VLS MEB and HEB Backplane Harnesses Assemblies in accordance with technical data package drawings 8660446-9 and 8660527-9. All the MEB and HEB Backplane Harness Assemblies shall meet all form, fit, and function requirements in accordance with the drawings and associated specifications.

Optional Requirement:

The Government has the option for Physical Configuration Audit of MEB Backplane Harness Assembly and HEB Backplane Harness Assembly.

5.1 Physical Configuration Audit (Option Item, if exercised)

The Government will perform a Physical Configuration Audit (PCA) of an assembly built in the first production lot of the following items:

a. MEB Backplane Harness

b. HEB Backplane Harness

The PCA purpose is to verify the as-built configuration matches its technical documentation and validate supporting processes. The PCAs shall be conducted in accordance with Section 7 of TL130-AD-PLN-010-VLS, Configuration Management Program Plan for the MK 41 Vertical Launching System, Volume 1, and Equipment (Hardware) Configuration Management.

The Contractor shall provide qualified engineering, technical, manufacturing, administrative, management and other support as necessary for these Government audits. Technical personnel shall be required to have necessary tools, measuring devices and other equipment necessary for equipment disassembly, dimensional & tolerance verification and performance verification. The contractor shall provide an area for audit conduct that is well-illuminated, temperate and low noise level. The audit work area shall contain worktables, print copies of all pertinent drawings, telephone and easy access to a copy machine.

The Contractor shall provide during the PCA, at a minimum, individual parts that make up the configuration item, completed assembly(s), an as-built list delineating all Engineering Change Proposal (ECPs) (either requested or approved). Hardcopies of production specifications and technical drawings, complete shortage list, manufacturing instructions, acceptance test procedures and data, purchase order documents and associated certificates of conformance from suppliers or appropriate documents indicating compliance with material or drawing requirements in accordance with (CDRL A003).

The audits will be conducted at the Contractor or subcontractor facility by NSWC Dahlgren Division or other Government designated representatives.

Each audit will be performed after assembly completion (including acceptance testing) and prior to DD 250 Acceptance. For planning purposes, each complete PCA will require approximately two weeks for pre-audit preparations, three weeks for audit conduct and three weeks for post audit close-out efforts.

Following the conduct of the PCA, the Contractor shall generate the necessary documentation to resolve all audit findings and provide these to the Navy audit team within the period specified by the Navy PCA lead in accordance with (CDRL A004). This documentation shall be evaluated by the PCA team to assess the corrective action taken to close the audit finding. This necessary documentation may include but not be limited to, revised manufacturing processes, engineering change proposals, Notice of Revisions, Specification Change Notice and revised drawings.

The Government and Contractor pre and post PCA activities are described in sections 7.4 through 7.7 of the VLS Configuration Management Plan TL130-AD-PLN-010-VLS.

All deficiencies discovered during the PCA’s that affect form, fit, function or performance shall be corrected at Contractor expense prior to unit delivery to the Government.

5.2 Government Technical Data Reviews, Quality Audits

During the performance of the contract, the Government shall have the right to perform technical data reviews and quality audits consisting of evaluation of records, processes and products to verify the Contractor's compliance with the respective quality programs. The Government audits may include evaluation of effectiveness in implementing the Contractor's and Subcontractors' or suppliers' audit programs to promote prevention of defects, which includes schedule of audits, evaluation of operations, notification of required corrective action with follow-up and means of notification to top management concerning audit results.

5.3 Testing, Inspection and Acceptance

The Contractor shall perform and meet all test requirements set forth in the Acceptance Test Requirements (ATR) for all applicable parts in accordance with Test Requirements for Electrical Harness and Interconnecting Network, WS 19202. The ATR drawings below establish the test requirements for acceptance by the Government of the MEB and HEB Backplane Harness Assemblies.
