PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT:

1. Scope of Work./Mission

This Performance Work Statement is for the services of one (1) US Flagged, Jones Act qualified vessel required to support the Commander, Submarine Force, U.S. Pacific Fleet, in the vicinity of Pearl Harbor, HI. The Contractor will be responsible for a coastal-rated vessel to support in-port and offshore personnel and supply transfers, as well as other submarine-related missions, up to a distance of not more than 50NM offshore from the island of Oahu, and not more than 20NM offshore from the islands of Kauai, Molokai, Lanai, Maui, Kahoolawe, and Hawaii. The maximum distance that the distance that the vessel will be required to operate from Pearl Harbor, HI is two hundred and fifty (250) nautical miles (NM). For open ocean transfer, the Contractor shall be required to safely transfer personnel and supplies (up to 44 personnel and 10 pallets of supplies) to and from an OHIO Class submarine in the open ocean. The Contractor shall provide a vessel and all necessary management, supervision, personnel, labor, materials, and equipment required to support the personnel and supply transfers, or any other lawful mission required by the Navy.

The Government anticipates approximately 80 of these will occur per year.

• The vessel shall act as an escort vessel in support of submarine sea trials by maintaining communications with a submerged submarine via government-provided and government-operated hull-mounted underwater communications equipment. These events may occur 2 times per year, 24 hours a day, and approximately one

(1) week in duration. The vessel shall support any other lawful mission required by the Navy.
