Projects within this portfolio include, but not limited to for future work, are Precision Strike Package (PSP, Gun Weapon Systems (GWS), Combatant Craft (CC), Aircraft High Energy Laser (AHEL), unmanned Gunships, and future retrofitting efforts for the Battle Management Systems (BMS) projects. This effort will concentrate on having International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9001 and Aerospace Quality Standard AS9100C certified rapid machining and manufacturing companies manufacture current and future components, which are designed by the Government. This overall effort shall encompass the rapid manufacturing, assembling, inspection, and delivery of current and future GWS components built for H40 programs from a Government provided and validated Technical Data Package (TDP).

C.2 Scope

The Contractor shall fabricate and deliver finished components in accordance with (IAW) a Government qualified TDP. The Contractor shall package and deliver hardware kits IAW Government qualified packaging and parts lists requirements. These hardware kits will be used for the integration of GWS components that are eventually integrated onto various Department of Defense (DOD) platforms. The Contractor shall maintain a rapid machining and delivery schedule.

C.3 Applicable Documents

Applicable standards, practices, and procedures related to the rapid machining, fabrication, and assembly include the following:

MIL-STD-130N, Identification Marking of U.S. Military Property

C.4.1 Hardware Fabrication

The Contractor shall deliver hardware assemblies and subassemblies of Trainable Gun Mount (TGM) systems, Ammunition Handling Systems (AHS), Gun Power Cabinets (GPC), Gun Computer Cabinets (GCC), integration, maintenance and operational kits, and gunner protection kits. The delivery schedule and quantity of systems to be produced will be specified in individual Delivery Orders. The Contractor shall have the ability to manufacture directly from Computer Aided Design (CAD) models and Government owned drawings. CAD models will be available from the Government. In the case of a conflict of specifications between the CAD model and Government drawing, the specifications of the Government drawing shall supersede the specifications of the CAD model.

The Contractor shall “test fit” first article or individual prototype items before low rate production runs. The Government will specify each test fit effort for that particular fabrication requirement in each individual Delivery Order. Government Furnished Property (GFP) will be provided to the Contractor by the Government for these test fits, and specified in each Delivery Order. During these events, the Government may travel to the Contractor’s facility.

The Contractor shall perform the following functions:

· Weld IAW American Welding Society D1.1 (Structural Welding Code – Steel), D1.2 (Structural Welding Code – Aluminum), and D17.1 (Specification for Fusion Welding of Aerospace Applications)

· Fabricate and assemble the majority of sheet metal parts at the Contractor’s facility

· Manufacture parts with dimensions of up to 25 feet in length

· Manufacture parts weighing up to 2,000 pounds

· Heat treating processes

· Specialized coating capabilities to include phosphate coating and hard coat anodize.

The Contractor shall label all hardware assemblies, hardware sub-assemblies, and hardware kits in accordance with all Government drawings or tasking specified within each Delivery Order.

The Contractor shall apply an item unique identifier (IUID) in accordance with MIL-STD-130 (construct 2) latest version to all units. The IUID shall include the cage code of the design activity, the cage code of the manufacturer, the part number and the serial number, and additional written information, as may be designated by the Government in each individual Delivery Order.

The Contractor shall have Common Access Card (CAC) in order to access the Naval Systems Engineering Resource Center (NSERC) registered Battle Management System (BMS) SharePoint site. The purpose of this is for official and safe file transfer of Technical Data Packages (TDPs) and technical file transfers in order to support the work within this Statement of Work (SOW).

C.4.2 Retrofits

The Contractor shall perform retrofits in regards to the operating systems. The technical requirements regarding these types of retrofits will be called out in each individual Delivery Order. The purpose of these retrofits is to maintain current configurations of weapons systems across the various DOD platforms.

The Contractor shall monitor the status of the orders and projected delivery dates of ordered material. During active Delivery Orders, this information shall be included in the weekly status report (CDRL A001).

C.4.3 Repair

The Contractor shall repair, restore, modify, replace, and package the specified parts, components, assemblies and associated hardware. The Contractor shall validate that repaired items are capable of performing in the same manner as an identical new item.

DIGITAL DELIVERY OF DATA

(a) Delivery by the Contractor to the Government of certain technical data and other information is now frequently required to be made in digital form rather than in hardcopy form. The method of delivery of such data and/or other information (i.e., in electronic, digital, paper hardcopy, or other form) shall not be deemed to affect in any way either the identity of the information (i.e., as “technical data” or “computer software”) or the Government’s and the Contractor’s respective rights therein.

(b) Whenever technical data and/or computer software deliverables required by this contract are to be delivered in digital form, any authorized, required, or permitted markings relating to the Government’s rights in and to such technical data and/or computer software must also be digitally included as part of the deliverable and on or in the same medium used to deliver the technical data and/or software. Such markings must be clearly associated with the corresponding technical data and/or computer software to which the markings relate and must be included in such a way that the marking(s) appear in human-readable form when the technical data and/or software is accessed and/or used. Such markings must also be applied in conspicuous human-readable form on a visible portion of any physical medium used to effect delivery of the technical data and/or computer software. Nothing in this paragraph shall replace or relieve the Contractor’s obligations with respect to requirements for marking technical data and/or computer software that are imposed by other applicable clauses such as, where applicable and without limitation, DFARS 252.227-7013 and/or DFARS 252.227-7014.

(c) Digital delivery means (such as but not limited to Internet tools, websites, shared networks, and the like) sometimes require, as a condition for access to and/or use of the means, an agreement by a user to certain terms, agreements, or other restrictions such as but not limited to “Terms of Use,” licenses, or other restrictions intended to be applicable to the information being delivered via the digital delivery means. The Contractor expressly acknowledges that, with respect to deliverables made according to this contract, no such terms, agreements, or other restrictions shall be applicable to or enforceable with respect to such deliverables unless such terms, agreements, or other restrictions expressly have been accepted in writing by the PCO; otherwise, the Government’s rights in and to such deliverables shall be governed exclusively by the terms of contract.
