1. Introduction
The United States Air Force (USAF) Mission Planning Systems (MPS) is a collaborative Department of Defense (DoD) program that leverages technical solutions and practices for all DoD aerial platforms. The Mission Planning equipment is a critical component for the USAF to effectively plan and coordinate operations worldwide.
The Mission Planning equipment must be capable of operating in both connected and disconnected network environments. This flexibility is essential to support USAF missions in various locations, including areas with limited or unreliable internet connectivity.
Adherence to the specifications outlined in this Statement of Work (SOW) is crucial to guarantee the safe, timely, and reliable operation of the MPS. Consistent performance is paramount to the success of USAF operations.
The USAF’s intent is to centrally store and distribute these Mission Planning equipment items through the USAF Supply System. This centralized management will ensure efficient and coordinated logistics, enabling the USAF to deploy the necessary equipment when and where it is needed.
This SOW outlines the technical specifications and requirements for the Mission Planning Mobile Computer Procurement, "Project: BLUE OCEANS" for the USAF. The USAF requires the purchase of a best-in-class 2-in-1 Detachable Tablet Device, along with associated peripherals, packaged in a durable, cardboard box.

5. Packaging and Labeling Requirements
All packaging and labeling specifications shall be strictly adhered to in a consistent manner. These items shall be packaged to provide safe storage and shipment. System components must remain capable of their operational function after being subjected to shocks and vibrations induced when transported by air, rail, sea, and when ground transported by forklift and/or truck over unimproved terrain.
Items identified for CLINs 0006 – 0013, shall be individually packaged, ready for immediate reshipment.
These Item shall be secured to prevent tampering and pilferage through use of tamper-proof sealing tape applied to the outermost cardboard box.
5.1 Packaging Requirements
Prior to shipment of the First Articles to the USAF, the Contractor shall submit representative Item A and Item B for International Safe Transit Association (ISTA) evaluation to a certified ISTA laboratory for assessment. The correct ISTA assessment is primarily determined by size, weight and method of shipment. The USAF typically reships Items using Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) and/or parcel delivery methods. Test Procedure 3B is most likely the appropriate choice based on expected size and weight of these Items. ISTA certification is not required for CLINs 0001-0006 (Evaluation and Early Production Items).
A functional assessment of the devices that undergo testing shall occur immediately following ISTA assessment. Devices must be capable of immediate operation following the ISTA assessment to be considered acceptable (Pass). All physical damage, including cosmetic scratches and the like, shall be noted in the ISTA report.
The complete ISTA Report shall be provided to the Government with or before delivery of the First Articles. The ISTA.ORG website is referenced in Section 2 of this document.

8. Early Production Items
8.1 CLIN 0006
Contractor shall provide Fifteen (15), Item A to the Government no later than forty-five (45) days following contract award.
9. First Article Inspection For quality control purposes, the Government shall conduct a First Article Inspection. A First Article is the first fully compliant (fully packaged) unit or item off the production line. First Article Inspection will consist of ONE (1) unit of each defined Item A and B (if a Delivery Order is awarded). See CLINs: 0007 and 0008 (Note: If options are exercised, they will affect the first article). The First Article items shall be delivered to the addresses specified in Table 3. The Contractor shall deliver the First Articles as soon as practicable, but no later than One Hundred (100) calendar days after award, or in accordance with a mutually agreed delivery schedule. If items are not going to be delivered IAW the terms of the contract, notification must be sent directly to the Contracting Officer (CO) and Project Manager (PM). Delivery shall include bringing the First Article into the designated building or facility and one-time placement of the article within the building. The designated building or facility will likely not have a loading dock or be able to accept delivery from a tractor trailer. Deliveries will be accepted between 9am and 4pm, Monday thru Thursday. Friday deliveries will require advance notice and should be requested prior to shipment.
Deliveries will not be accepted on Federal holidays or weekends. Negative performance will not be documented in cases where the Contractor’s First Article is late solely due to Government’s delay in providing the appropriate NSN information. Acceptance of First Article by the Government shall not relieve the Contractor from complying with all requirements and terms stipulated within the Delivery Order. The First Article Inspection will be repeated if the initial First Article does not conform to the specifications provided in this document. The Contractor shall arrange return shipment (if necessary) and make corrections to the First Article in a timely manner. Return shipment costs shall be paid by the Contractor.
The Contractor shall notify the contacts specified below, when item(s) has been shipped and provide associated tracking number(s).
Keara Martins, keara.martins.1@us.af.mil or John Cleverly, john.cleverly.5@us.af.mil David Roescher, david.roescher.ctr@us.af.mil
As part of the First Article Inspection, the Government at its discretion and cost, may transport the Contractor’s provided First Article(s) to other facilities for evaluation such as a certified ISTA Testing Laboratory.
The Government shall not be responsible for any damage that occurs to the First Article(s) during evaluation, such as (but not limited to) ISTA testing/evaluation.
Failure to successfully deliver (in a timely manner) an acceptable First Article within the terms of the executed Delivery Order can be used a basis for contract termination.
10. Quality Assurance Inspections The Government shall, at their discretion, conduct Quality Control or “Pre-shipment” inspection of the Item(s) supplied after First Article Acceptance in performance of this SOW. The Contractor shall coordinate with a designated Government representative to conduct a “Pre-Shipment” Inspection before any shipments are made to the Government. Inspections will occur at the Contractor’s factory or integration facilities immediately prior to shipment. Contractor shall provide a completed DD Form 250 to the Government representative prior to this inspection. The inspection usually consists of a sampling from the order ready for shipment.
