Components of the prototype development cycle include concept development, requirements collection, system design, systems engineering, material specification development, material acquisition, environmental resiliency design, prototype development, prototype testing, systems integration, systems testing, and systems functional demonstration based on performance requirements as documented in individual Delivery Orders.
The desired prototypes consist of hardware components including weapons control systems, command and fire systems, control box assemblies, training panel assemblies, cables, printed wiring assemblies, antennas, customized testing equipment, enclosures, and electronic racks that physically support the hardware which will be mounted in a variety of aircraft, ships, and vehicles.
C.3.1.2 Each prototype system developed, tested, and maintained shall be part of a comprehensive package, including all hardware design tool outputs (e.g., 3D hardware models, assemblies, parts, drawings, bills of materials, etc.), circuit board design tool outputs (e.g., Altium Designer project, Gerber files, bills of materials, etc.) along with related test procedures and user/maintainer documentation. Prototype development, enhancements, testing, and maintenance deliverables will be identified in individual Delivery Orders. (CDRL A007)
C.3.1.3 The Contractor shall provide deliverable documentation such as technical specifications and Requirement Traceability Matrixes (RTM), which list and describe all requirements for the prototype system, status on whether the current version meets those requirements, and the assigned priority for each requirement. The RTM shall document requirements currently met, those expected to be met in the current version, and any deferred requirements to facilitate project completion tracking. Specific deliverable documentation will be defined in individual Delivery Orders. Additional requirements may be solicited after each subsequent version of the prototype and documented via revisions to technical specifications as directed by individual Delivery Orders and change requests as approved by the Government.
The intent of the production drawings is to convey sufficient information and detail to move the prototype assembly into subsequent initial outfitting. The Contractor shall initially release the data package to the Government with the delivery of the first article system with incremental baseline updated releases to be delivered throughout the development and prototype pre-production effort based on Government approved change requests and Engineering Change Notices (ECN). Once a prototype stabilizes and can move into full production, the prototype will be competitively procured under a separate Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Delivery Order.
C.3.1.4 The Contractor shall conduct testing. Delivery Orders will define all testing requirements to be conducted for the qualification of fabricated assemblies. The Delivery Orders will define responsibility (Contractor, Government or joint) for development and execution of Acceptance Test Procedures (ATP) and Hardware Certification Test (HCT). In more mature designs, the Government will be able to provide these types of tests to the Contractor. In earlier stages of TDP development, the Contractor will not be given these types of tests.
C.3.1.5 The Contractor shall deliver all prototypes and associated intellectual property developed under this contract with a minimum of Government Purpose Rights; no Contractor proprietary hardware or may be used without the advance concurrence of the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) and Contracting Officer.

The fabricated systems will be used for extensive testing in laboratories, at test sites, and as deployed units in theater. The delivery schedule and quantity of systems to be produced will be specified in individual Delivery Orders. The Delivery Orders may be revised by the Government to update the delivery schedule and quantities to meet emergent Government objectives, to include quick reaction operational requirements.
The hardware fabrication cycle includes material specification development, hardware component identification and selection, material acquisition, material staging, material tracking, fabrication, machining, assembly, quality control, testing, certification, packaging and shipping.
Hardware components or hardware systems fabricated shall consist of a complete package, which includes all associated documentation.

Secret storage is required at the Contractor’s facility in order to meet requirements of receiving and generating classified material in accordance with this contract.
C.10.8 Electronic Spillage
C.10.8.1 Electronic Spillages (ES) are unacceptable and pose a risk to national security.
An electronic spillage is defined as classified data placed on an information system (IS), media or hardcopy document possessing insufficient security controls to protect the data at the required classification level, thus posing a risk to national security (e.g., sensitive compartmented information (SCI) onto collateral, Secret onto Unclassified, etc.). The Contractor’s performance as it relates to ES will be evaluated by the Government.
