1 PURPOSE AND BACKGROUND
This Performance Work Statement (PWS) defines engineering services the contractor shall perform that will directly and indirectly support nuclear surety certification of system software and hardware for
Nuclear Safety Cross Check Analysis/Nuclear Safety Analysis and Technical Evaluation
(NSCCA/NSATE). NSCCA/NSATE is defined in AFMAN 91-119, and it is expected that all references in this PWS refer to the AFMAN 91-119 definition.as a process that is primarily an analysis of code and other evaluation techniques to prove safety and surety of the weapon system. Test, simulations, and other evaluation techniques are used as input for a thorough software verification process. In this context a test failure does not imply an NSCCA failure. It is simply an input to the analysis to verify that the code is operating as expected. An NSCCA product output is a recommendation, based on independent analysis, to the program and the USAF Safety Center regarding the safety and surety of the elements of the program under review.
The work efforts for this contract will be identified in specific task orders and encompass the requirements levied by:
The following organizations: MMIII SPO, HQ AFSEC and/or AF NWSSG
AFI 91-101 Air Force Nuclear Weapons Surety Program
AFI 91-102 Nuclear Weapons System Safety Studies, Operational Safety Reviews, and Safety Rules
AFMAN 91-118 Safety Design and Evaluation Criteria for Nuclear Weapon Systems
AFMAN 91-119 Safety Design and Evaluation Criteria for Nuclear Weapon Systems Software
AFNWC Nuclear Certification Requirements Plans (CRPs)
Services deemed beneficial to software nuclear surety evaluations, including special studies, tools development, and sustainment activities
Note: For the purpose of this PWS, software includes hardware, embedded software, Commercial-Off-
The-Shelf (COTS) software, firmware, associated software operating environment, and data parameters.
Department of Defense (DoD) Instruction 5230.24, Distribution Statements on Technical Documents, Enclosure 4, Table 5, identifies six (6) authorized distribution statements for Scientific and Technical
Information (STINFO). The Contractor shall mark all technical data, regardless of media or form, with the appropriate STINFO markings (i.e., distribution statement, export control warning [if applicable], and destruction notice) as specified on the DD Form 1423-1, Contract Data Requirements List
(CDRL). For written or printed material, the STINFO markings shall appear in full text on the front cover/title page and the abbreviated markings shall appear on subsequent pages as specified in the
CDRL. Distribution statements shall include all applicable “reasons” based on the contents of the document. The “date of determination” within each distribution statement shall reflect the date the
CDRL was signed. The Controlling DoD Office (CDO) will review all technical data (e.g., technical reports, test reports, final summaries, and briefings) prior to finalization to ensure the correct STINFO markings (i.e., distribution statement, export control warning [if applicable], and destruction notice) are applied to all documents. A distribution statement designation is distinct from, and in addition to, a security classification marking applied In Accordance With (IAW) DoD Manual 5200.01, Volume 2, DoD
Information Security Program: Marking of Classified Information.
(NSCCA)/NUCLEAR SAFETY ANALYSIS AND TECHNICAL EVALUATION (NSATE)
1.1 Purpose
The scope of the work outlined in this PWS is for a new task order under the Basic
NSCCA/NSATE IV&V contract. This PWS identifies task order requirements to establish facilities, transition Government-Furnished Property (GFP) tools, setup and checkout of
GFP, and maintain and improve tools necessary for performing independent analyses of software development or modification requiring nuclear certification. These requirements help ensure there is no system degradation to the nuclear surety of the Inter Continental
Ballistic Missile (ICBM) weapon systems due to nuclear critical software and determine if the software designs and implementations are efficient and technically valid approaches.
All Basic PWS sections and subsections are applicable to this effort unless tailored within this PWS.
1.2 Background
The Minuteman III (MMIII) is a mature weapon system that is in the Operations and Support Phase of its life cycle. As a critical leg in the strategic nuclear triad, the ICBM Weapon System requires continued sustainment of the critical software to ensure operational capabilities are maintained and new war-fighter requirements are implemented and independently certified for operational nuclear surety. The ICBM weapon system software requires updates and independent nuclear certification to provide a supportable and functional weapon system through 2039. The NSCCA/NSATE contractor independently assesses that nuclear certified and critical software will not adversely affect critical signal initiation and propagation through the missile system, will only perform as intended by the design, that there have been no acts of sabotage or unintended functionality, and the software complies with applicable requirements of AFMAN 91-118 and AFMAN 91-119, and will not cause a violation of the four DoD nuclear surety standards detailed in DoD3150.02.
