Section C – Description/Specifications/Work Statement

PART I - SECTION C

DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/WORK STATEMENT

C.1 BACKGROUND

The Investment Planning and Analysis (IP&A) Organization (AFI-1) provides a broad range of services that support major acquisition decisions. IP&A consists of a multi-dimensional staff of approximately 50 operations research analysts, financial analysts and economists; these analysts are both Federal government employees and contractors. Working with program offices, systems engineering organizations and operational units, viable business cases are developed for investments required to maintain the current infrastructure and move FAA into the NextGen era.

One of the core functions within these business cases is analyzing aircraft operations. To accomplish this task, AFI-300 requires a tool suite of operational air traffic modeling and simulation tools.

The IP&A Operations Research group requires a general-purpose trajectory and target simulator software tool that provides a realistic analytical tool for evaluating the operational impacts of Air

Traffic Control (ATC)/ Air Traffic Management (ATM) systems. The primary output generated by this tool must be flight trajectory tracks. The tool must allow the user to set model parameters that control the statistical distribution functions from which the population of track segments is drawn.

These variables are segment speed, segment length, Gaussian transverse deviation, segment altitude, start and end location of the trajectory, number of segments in a trajectory and start time.

C.2 SCOPE

The scope of this contract includes delivery of this general-purpose trajectory and target simulator software tool by the contractor along with an instruction manual, training, and technical support as described in C.3.

C.3 TASKING REQUIREMENTS

C.3.1 Post Award Conference

The Government will conduct a post award conference meeting with the Contractor. The

Government plans to conduct this meeting within ten (10) business days after contract award with a date, time, and location determined by the Government. The purpose of the meeting is to review the contract and SOW requirements to ensure the Contractor has a clear understanding of the scope of work and deliverables.

C.3.2 Contractor Tasks

Task 1: Trajectory and Target Simulator Tool

The Contractor must comply with the following:

C.3.2.1 Installation Requirements:

The tool must be capable of being installed and operated on a standard configured FAA PC running

Windows 10. The FAA requires that the Contractor provide software licenses to accommodate four

(4) FAA PC installations.

C.3.2.2 Technical Capabilities

The tool must provide the following required (prime) capabilities:

• Predict potential aircraft to-aircraft conflicts based on any kind of flight trajectory.

• Model a “fast-time/real-time” situation display process based on historical data that shows flight progress against a map containing user-controlled geographic information, including airspace structures.

• Adjust and optimize flight trajectories. Produce flight trajectory data for theoretical “what-if” scenarios

• Develop post-mortem analysis application that can be used to assess events that occur within a flight.

• Develop multiple measures that allow analysts to evaluate the actual trajectory-based flight tracks of user-specified city pairs.

• Post processing capability that adjusts the raw trajectories by eliminating incomplete and bad trajectories, redundant points, and spikes. The post processor should be able to calculate points to/from airport’s runway thresholds.

• Provide the ability to view overlaid trajectories from multiple days during a given time-of-day within the same screen view.

• Ability to easily gather aggregate flight trajectory data for multiple days and ingest such data into commercially available statistical analysis tools.

• Visibility into the underlying assumptions, formulas, and algorithms used within the model and simulations with the additional ability to make changes without having to rely exclusively on the software vendor.

In addition, the tool must provide the following secondary capabilities (final list to depend on awarded contract):

• Ability to change tracks and see potential conflicts.

• Ability to build/adapt routes, e.g. move FIX 4 nm to the South and view impact on metrics for aircraft flying the same FIX transitioning to DFW.

• Ability to see actual flight tracks and related information for any specified period of time and location.

• The trajectory data must include, time and distance, which can be adjusted and segmented, e.g. retrieve the actual time and distance flown in a TRACON (approximately 40-mile circle) for both landing and takeoff.

• Ability to color code/filter tracks by altitude or groups of altitudes

• Ability to see distance between successive aircraft crossing a fix.

• Include itinerant tracks e.g. departures, overflights going to different airports with ability to see effect of arrivals on airport of interest.

• Ability to selectively grab a set of tracks for analysis.

• Ability to create separate experiments (i.e. scenarios with given initialization parameters);

save those experiments; and re-run them later.

• Ability to export to KMZ and KML file extensions for Google Earth or other GIS software.

• Capability to export track information or analysis results into Excel (or CSV format) for every radar hit e.g. time, speed, altitude, latitude/longitude.

• Ability to import local adaptation/airspace which constrains the trajectory in terminal airspace.

• Provide wind field info (winds aloft at various flight levels or millibar levels, grid points and forecast time points) i.e. Import/specify winds aloft at specific altitudes.

C.3.2.3 User Manual

The Contractor must provide a user manual that documents the installation requirements, instructions, and operation of the tool. The Contractor must submit any updates to this documentation via change pages throughout the life of this contract.

C.3.2.4 Operational Support

The Contractor must provide the FAA with technical support via telephone to address user operational questions as part of its yearly Simulator Tool Yearly License Fee.

C.3.2.4 Software Updates

The Contractor must provide any software updates/upgrades covering the C.3.2.2 Technical

Capabilities as part of its yearly Simulator Tool Yearly License Fee.

Task 2 – Training/Technical Support (As Required)

As ordered by the FAA Contracting Officer or COR, the Contractor must provide training classes for up to ten (10) FAA individuals on the use of the tool. The Contractor must conduct these training classes per FAA direction at either the FAA or Contractor facility in the Washington D.C.

metro area.

In addition, as ordered by the FAA Contracting Officer or COR, the Contractor must provide on-site (at the FAA) technical support in the setting up and use of the tool. The on-site technical support staff must be capable of identifying and correcting performance issues and addressing FAA operational questions with the Contractor’s Trajectory and Target Simulator Tool.

Section H – Special Contract Provisions

PART I - SECTION H

SPECIAL CONTRACT PROVISIONS

H.1 FAA ACQUISITION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM CLAUSES

INCORPORATED IN FULL TEXT

3.1.9-1 Electronic Commerce and Signature (July 2020)

(a) The Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-SIGN) establishes a legal equivalence between:

(1) Contracts written on paper and contracts in electronic form;

(2) Pen-and-ink signatures and electronic signatures; and

(3) Other legally-required written records and the same information in electronic form.

(b) With the submission of an offer, the offeror acknowledges and accepts the utilization of electronic commerce as part of the requirements of this solicitation and the resultant contract.

(c) Certain documents may need to be provided or maintained in original form, such as large-scale drawings impractical to convert to electronic format or a document with a raised seal signifying authenticity. This clause does not change or affect any other requirements that a document must be in paper format to satisfy legal requirements such as for certain real estate transactions.

(d) The use of electronic signature technology is authorized under this solicitation and the resulting

(e) Contractors must not digitally sign any documents with software that uses the Secure Hash

Algorithm 1 (SHA-1). All digitally signed documents and contracts sent to the FAA must use a

SHA-256 or higher hash algorithm. This is based on the National Institute of Standards and

Technology (NIST) Policy Statement on Hash Functions dated August 5, 2015. Further guidance on the use of SHA-256 is in NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-57 Part 1, section

5.6.2 as amended and SP 800-131A, Revision 1 dated November 6, 2015. Additional guidance on the use of SHA-3 is in NIST SP 800-185 as amended.

(f) Contractors do not have to update documents previously digitally signed using SHA-1 hash algorithms unless the document requires updating. The FAA and contractors may continue to use SHA-1 for the following applications: Verifying old digital signatures and time stamps, generating and verifying hash-based message authentication codes (HMACs), key derivation functions (KDFs), and random bit/number generation.

3.13-15 Confidentiality of Data and Information (November 2016)

(a) In performance of this contract, the contractor and any of its subcontractors, may need access to and use various data and information in the possession of the Government. This data and information may have been obtained under conditions which restrict the Government's right to use and disclose this data and information or which may be adverse to the interests of the

Government or other parties if it is disseminated or used in a capacity other than in performance of this contract. Therefore, the contractor and its subcontractors agree to abide by any restrictive use conditions on such data and not to: (1) knowingly disclose such data and information to others without written authorization from the Contracting Officer, unless it is already publicly available; or (2) use for any purpose other than the performance of this contract any data or information which bears a restrictive marking or legend which the contractor has gained access to through the performance of this contract, or information that should be marked according to

FAA Order 1600.75 "Protecting Sensitive Unclassified Information (SUI)". For the sole purpose of this clause, "information" means any communication or representation of knowledge such as facts, data, or opinions in any medium or form, including textual, numerical, graphic, cartographic, narrative or visual form.

(b) In the event the work required to be performed under this contract requires access to proprietary data and information of other companies, the contractor must obtain agreement from such other companies for such use unless such data are provided or made available to the contractor by the Government. Two copies of such company-to-company agreements must be furnished promptly to the Contracting Officer for information only. These agreements must prescribe the scope of authorized use and disclosure of the proprietary data and information as well as any other terms and conditions to be agreed upon between the parties thereto. It is agreed by the contractor that any such data or information, whether obtained by the contractor pursuant to the aforesaid agreement or from the Government, must be protected from unauthorized use by or unauthorized disclosure to any individual, corporation, or organization so long as it remains proprietary.

(c) The contractor agrees to conduct formal training to make employees aware of the requirement to maintain confidentiality of data and information as required above. The contractor must obtain from each employee in connection with this contract a signed Non-Disclosure Agreement. This agreement must provide that the employee will not, during employment or anytime thereafter, disclose or use for current or future benefit of any party any of the data (to include any form of

Sensitive Unclassified Information (SUI) described in FAA Order 1600.75) or information not publicly available received in connection with the work under the contract.

(d) The contractor agrees to hold the Government harmless and indemnify the Government as to any cost/loss resulting from the unauthorized use or disclosure of third-party data or software by the contractor, its employees, subcontractors, or agents.

(e) The contractor agrees to include the substance of this clause in all subcontracts awarded under this contract. The Contracting Officer will consider case-by-case exceptions to this requirement for individual subcontracts in the event that: (1) the contractor considers this clause to be inappropriate and unnecessary in the case of a particular subcontract; (2) the contractor provides a written statement affirming absolute unwillingness of a subcontractor to perform, absent some relief from the substance of this prohibition and the reason why; (3) use of an alternate subcontract source would unreasonably detract from the quality of effort; and (4) the contractor provides the Contracting Officer timely written advance notice of these and any other extenuating circumstances.

(f) Except as the Contracting Officer specifically authorizes in writing, upon completion of all work under this contract, the contractor must return all such data and information described above obtained from the Government, including all copies, modifications, adaptations, or combinations thereof, to the Contracting Officer. Data obtained from another company must be disposed of in accordance with the contractor's agreement with that company, or if the agreement makes no provision for disposition, must be returned to that company. The contractor must further certify in writing to the CO that all copies, modifications, adaptations, or combinations of such data or information which cannot reasonably be returned to the Contracting Officer (or to the appropriate company), have been deleted from the contractor's (and any subcontractor's) records and destroyed. The FAA reserves the right to audit the deletion. The FAA must provide notice of the audit 10 calendar days prior to the audit.

(g) These restrictions do not limit the contractor's (or subcontractor's) right to use and disclose any data and information obtained from another source without restriction.

(End of clause)

H.2 INTERPRETATION OF CONTRACT (NOTICE OF AMBIGUITIES)

(a) This written contract and any and all identified writings or documents incorporated by reference herein or physically attached hereto, constitute the parties' complete agreement, and no other prior or contemporaneous agreements either written or oral must be considered to change, modify or contradict it. Any ambiguity in the contract will not be strictly construed against the drafter of the contract language, but must be resolved by applying the most reasonable interpretation under the circumstances, giving full consideration to the intentions of the parties at the time of contracting.

(b) It is the obligation of the Contractor to exercise due diligence to discover and to bring to the attention of the Contracting Officer at the earliest possible time, any ambiguities, discrepancies, inconsistencies, or conflicts in or between the specifications and the applicable drawings or other documents incorporated by reference herein. Failure to comply with such obligations may be deemed a waiver and release of any and all claims for extra costs or delays arising out of such ambiguities, discrepancies, inconsistencies and conflicts.

H.3 NOTIFICATION OF DEBARMENT/SUSPENSION STATUS

The Contractor and its subcontractors must provide immediate notice to the CO in the event of being suspended, debarred or declared ineligible by any Federal Government Agency or

(e) The information as it is submitted, must be certified as being true and correct. If there is no such information, the certification must so state.

(2) Exclusion from subsequent FAA contracts.

(3) Other remedial action as may be permitted or provided by law or regulation or policy or by the terms of the contract.
