1. Purpose and scope (Back to TOC)

The Contractor shall furnish, crew, operate, and maintain up to three U.S.-flagged vessels to provide transportation services for Federal Government’s Modular Open System Architecture Instrumentation Containers (MOSAIC) program containers, associated equipment, and authorized personnel in support of Broad Ocean Area (BOA) test missions for hypersonic and long-range missile defense. The core service is safe, timely, secure receipt, stowage, carriage, in-transit care, delivery, and offload of Government-designated cargo between the ports and mission areas identified in written tasking. When required by a task order, the vessel shall remain on station or otherwise support the

BOA mission as a maritime platform while MOSAIC instrumentation collects telemetry data and provides flight safety assets.

The Contractor provides maritime transportation capacity and vessel services. The Government retains responsibility for MOSAIC container design and operation, technical configuration, test conduct, data, and flight safety decisions.

The Contractor shall not operate Government mission systems unless separately authorized in writing. The acquisition is intended as a performance-based service requirement consistent with FAR Subpart 37.6. Contract line items, price structure, options, inspection and acceptance, and applicable clauses shall be established in the solicitation and award.

2. Applicable requirements and order of precedence (Back to TOC)

The Contractor shall comply with applicable U.S. federal, state, port, and flag-state requirements, and applicable international instruments as implemented by the United States, including Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) and Maritime

Pollution (MARPOL), together with Coast Guard requirements and the vessel’s certificates and operating limitations. If requirements conflict, the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer (KO) promptly; the KO will provide direction.

Nothing in this SOW authorizes a violation of law or a vessel certificate condition.

• Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), including FAR Parts 11, 12 (when applicable), 37, 42, and 46; agency supplements and solicitation clauses incorporated into the award.

• U.S. vessel documentation, inspection, manning, and safety requirements applicable to each vessel and voyage, including relevant provisions of Titles 46 and 33, United States Code (U.S.C.) and Code of Federal Regulations

(CFR).

• Coastwise trade requirements, including 46 U.S.C. Chapter 551, when a voyage or transportation is subject to the coastwise laws. Before award and before each relevant voyage, the Government will identify the anticipated routes and the KO, with agency maritime counsel as needed, will determine the applicable coastwise endorsement and cargo/transportation requirements.

• SOLAS, 1974, as amended, and MARPOL, as amended, to the extent applicable to vessel, service, route, and flag-state requirements.

• The vessel’s current Certificate of Documentation, Certificate of Inspection (if applicable), load line and safety/environmental certificates, and any restrictions or conditions imposed by the U.S. Coast Guard or recognized classification society.

The contract, including the order of precedence clause incorporated in the award, controls over this SOW in case of inconsistency. The KO is the only official authorized to change contract requirements.

3. Period and activation (Back to TOC)

The total period of performance, including options, shall not exceed three years (36 months). The Government may activate one, two, or three vessels, and may activate vessels at different times, only through written task orders, delivery orders, or other contract-authorized written direction issued by the KO. The Contractor shall not incur costs for an unactivated vessel unless expressly authorized in the contract. Each tasking document shall define the mission window, operating area, port(s), required configuration, crew complement, embarkation, and acceptance criteria.
