STATEMENT OF WORK

Statement of Work User Transfer Radiometer (UXR) Telescope System May 4, 2017

1. SCOPE.

This Statement of Work (SOW) defines the effort required for the design, development, fabrication, and test of the UXR Telescope System

0. Background.

This project is for the design, development, and fabrication of a precision optical system for an infrared (IR) radiance calibration transfer radiometer called the User Transfer Radiometer (UXR). The UXR is being developed to serve Missile Defense Agency (MDA) infrared (IR) calibration needs at various test facilities within the United States. The IR calibration radiometer currently being used is not sensitive enough to measure the smallest needed signals, does not have imaging capability needed for complex test scene evaluation, and consumes considerable amounts of expensive liquid helium (He) during operation. To solve the problem of the relatively low sensitivity, the UXR will be constructed with an entrance aperture that has ten (10) times the signal collection area as the current radiometer. This large acceptance area is being achieved by having the first optical components of the UXR be a three (3) mirror astigmatic (TMA) telescope that takes the radiance accepted by the 22 cm entrance aperture and telescopes down to 4.6 cm. The reduced diameter beam will then be passed through spectral filters, after which the beam shall be focused onto a detector by a fourth mirror. All four (4) mirrors and the mechanical structure (the optical bench) shall be made of thermally stabilized 6061 aluminum. The thermal stabilization is absolutely necessary so the mirrors change shape minimally when the system cools down to cryogenic temperatures. It is also absolutely critical that the mirrors be made of 6061 aluminum because the framework that is holding the mirrors is also made of 6061 aluminum. In order for the system to keep its optical alignment when it cools, all components must be made of the same material so that they shrink by the same fractional amount.

1. REQUIREMENTS

2. General The work required by this contract shall be performed in accordance with this SOW. The contractor shall design, develop, fabricate, and test the UXR Telescope System to meet the performance criteria specified in Section 4 of this SOW.

2. Detail Tasks

1. Phase 1

0. Design and Drawings:

The first task in Phase 1 shall consist of the completion of all drawings for all parts that might be delivered in the entirety of this contract; that is Phase 1 and Phase 2. The contractor shall design the mirror mounting system between the telescope optical bench and the three mirrors that are to be mounted onto the telescope optical bench. The contractor shall start with the designs of the entire telescope system provided by the government for the telescope optical bench and the mirrors, then modify the drawings in order to develop mirror mounts that are amenable to the contractors mirror alignment methods. The government furnished drawings shall be provided in Solid Works 2017 format. All drawings provided by the contractor to the government shall be in a format that is readable by Solid Works 2017. All final drawings and fabrication plans shall be provided to the government for approval before materials are purchased and fabrication starts. Note that the government retains all rights to data, drawings, models and documentation generated during the performance of this contract that relates to the deliverables in this contract.

0. Fabrication and Testing of Two Sets of Four Mirrors:

The fabrication and testing of the mirrors shall be executed according to the SOW Section 4. The contractor shall notify the government as to the time and place of the mirror testing, and shall allow government representatives to observe the entire testing process, if the government elects to do so. After the performance verification testing of the mirrors is completed, the test results shall be sent to the government for approval in a format chosen by the contractor. If the government elects to execute Phase 2, one set of the three telescope mirrors shall remain in the contractor’s possession for the completion of Phase 2, and the remainder of the mirrors shall be delivered to the government. If the government elects not execute Phase 2, the contractor shall deliver all of the mirrors to the government. The contractor shall guarantee that the mirrors arrive at the government facility in the same condition that they were in during acceptance testing. The mirror conditions to be maintained from the time of testing include, but are not limited to, mechanical integrity, optical performance, and cleanliness. The contractor shall also give and safely ship to the government all materials that were purchased or fabricated for the specific purpose of the mirror performance verification and were part of the final cost of the mirrors. For example, if a computer generated hologram (CGH) was used to characterize the wave front performance of the telescope M2 mirror and was charged to the cost for this contract, the CGH would be delivered to the government along with the mirrors.

1. Phase 2

1. Fabrication, Assembly, and Performance Verification.

The second phase of the contract shall primarily consist of the fabrication of the telescope optical bench, the mounting and alignment of the telescope mirrors onto the telescope optical bench, and the performance verification testing of the assembled telescope all according to the SOW Section 4. The contractor shall notify the government as to the time and place of the telescope assembly testing, and shall allow government representatives to observe the entire mirror alignment and testing process, if the government elects to do so. The intent of the government observation is to allow the government to acquire sufficient capability of the alignment process as to be able to make appropriate adjustments to the alignment at a later date, if necessary. For this purpose, the contractor shall allow the government representatives to observe to the extent necessary the process of mirror alignment and optical performance measurement.

1. Test Results.

After the performance verification testing is completed, the test results shall be sent to the government for approval in a format chosen by the contractor. After government approval of the telescope performance results, the contractor shall guarantee that the telescope assembly arrives at the government facility in the same condition that it was in during acceptance testing. The telescope assembly conditions to be maintained from the time of testing include, but are not limited to, mechanical integrity, optical performance, and cleanliness. The contractor shall also give and safely ship to the government all materials that were purchased or fabricated for the specific purpose of alignment of the mirrors in the telescope assembly and were part of the final cost of the delivered telescope assembly. For example, if a corner cube was used to characterize the wave front performance of the telescope system and was charged to the cost for this contract, it would be delivered to the government along with the telescope.

1. EXPECTED PRODUCT

This section of the SOW describes the end product of a precision optical system for an infrared (IR) radiance calibration transfer radiometer called the User Transfer Radiometer (UXR) that shall telescope a collimated 22.0 cm diameter beam down to a collimated 4.6 cm diameter beam and perform with high optical precision over the temperature range of 310 K down to 80 K. The telescope mirrors and optical support structure (optical bench) is to be fabricated from 6061 aluminum. The telescope optical prescription has been designed by the government and is a three mirror anastigmatic (TMA) telescope that has a 22 cm diameter entrance pupil, accepts a collimated beam with 1.50 degree full cone divergence, and outputs a 4.6 cm diameter beam with a full cone divergence of 7.17 degrees. While the shapes of the mirror reflecting surfaces have been finalized, the shape of back side of the mirrors and the mounting feet have not, nor has the optical bench. The back portion of the mirrors, their mounting feet, and the optical bench has a nominal design that fits into the larger UXR system, but it is not finalized. Input from the contractor in design is desired, especially with regard to the mounts for the mirrors. The final telescope to be delivered shall be aligned and the alignment shall be tested over a range of temperatures in order to demonstrate thermal stability.

In addition to the telescope assembly, a fourth thermally stable aluminum cryogenic mirror shall be provided. This mirror shall be an off-axis paraboloid that will be used by the government in the UXR further down the optical train from the TMA telescope.

A duplicate set of mirrors shall be delivered for the entire set of four powered mirrors. Each of the eight powered mirrors optical performance shall be validated by measurement. In addition to the eight powered mirrors that are to be delivered, four (4) additional 25 mm diameter witness flat mirrors are to be delivered.

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause-

Automatic identification device means a device, such as a reader or interrogator, used to retrieve data encoded on machine-readable media.

Concatenated unique item identifier means--

(1) For items that are serialized within the enterprise identifier, the linking together of the unique identifier data elements in order of the issuing agency code, enterprise identifier, and unique serial number within the enterprise identifier; or

(2) For items that are serialized within the original part, lot, or batch number, the linking together of the unique identifier data elements in order of the issuing agency code; enterprise identifier; original part, lot, or batch number; and serial number within the original part, lot, or batch number.

Data Matrix means a two-dimensional matrix symbology, which is made up of square or, in some cases, round modules arranged within a perimeter finder pattern and uses the Error Checking and Correction 200 (ECC200) specification found within International Standards Organization (ISO)/International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 16022.

Data qualifier means a specified character (or string of characters) that immediately precedes a data field that defines the general category or intended use of the data that follows.

DoD recognized unique identification equivalent means a unique identification method that is in commercial use and has been recognized by DoD. All DoD recognized unique identification equivalents are listed at http://www.acq.osd.mil/dpap/pdi/uid/iuid_equivalents.html.

DoD item unique identification means a system of marking items delivered to DoD with unique item identifiers that have machine-readable data elements to distinguish an item from all other like and unlike items. For items that are serialized within the enterprise identifier, the unique item identifier shall include the data elements of the enterprise identifier and a unique serial number. For items that are serialized within the part, lot, or batch number within the enterprise identifier, the unique item identifier shall include the data elements of the enterprise identifier; the original part, lot, or batch number; and the serial number.

Enterprise means the entity (e.g., a manufacturer or vendor) responsible for assigning unique item identifiers to items.

Enterprise identifier means a code that is uniquely assigned to an enterprise by an issuing agency.

Government's unit acquisition cost means--

(1) For fixed-price type line, subline, or exhibit line items, the unit price identified in the contract at the time of delivery;

(2) For cost-type or undefinitized line, subline, or exhibit line items, the Contractor's estimated fully burdened unit cost to the Government at the time of delivery; and

(3) For items produced under a time-and-materials contract, the Contractor's estimated fully burdened unit cost to the Government at the time of delivery.

Issuing agency means an organization responsible for assigning a globally unique identifier to an enterprise, as indicated in the Register of Issuing Agency Codes for ISO/IEC 15459, located at http://www.aimglobal.org/?Reg_Authority15459.

Issuing agency code means a code that designates the registration (or controlling) authority for the enterprise identifier.

Item means a single hardware article or a single unit formed by a grouping of subassemblies, components, or constituent parts.

Lot or batch number means an identifying number assigned by the enterprise to a designated group of items, usually referred to as either a lot or a batch, all of which were manufactured under identical conditions.

Machine-readable means an automatic identification technology media, such as bar codes, contact memory buttons, radio frequency identification, or optical memory cards.

Original part number means a combination of numbers or letters assigned by the enterprise at item creation to a class of items with the same form, fit, function, and interface.

Parent item means the item assembly, intermediate component, or subassembly that has an embedded item with a unique item identifier or DoD recognized unique identification equivalent.

Serial number within the enterprise identifier means a combination of numbers, letters, or symbols assigned by the enterprise to an item that provides for the differentiation of that item from any other like and unlike item and is never used again within the enterprise.

Serial number within the part, lot, or batch number means a combination of numbers or letters assigned by the enterprise to an item that provides for the differentiation of that item from any other like item within a part, lot, or batch number assignment.

Serialization within the enterprise identifier means each item produced is assigned a serial number that is unique among all the tangible items produced by the enterprise and is never used again. The enterprise is responsible for ensuring unique serialization within the enterprise identifier.

Serialization within the part, lot, or batch number means each item of a particular part, lot, or batch number is assigned a unique serial number within that part, lot, or batch number assignment. The enterprise is responsible for ensuring unique serialization within the part, lot, or batch number within the enterprise identifier.

Type designation means a combination of letters and numerals assigned by the Government to a major end item, assembly or subassembly, as appropriate, to provide a convenient means of differentiating between items having the same basic name and to indicate modifications and changes thereto.

Unique item identifier means a set of data elements marked on items that is globally unique and unambiguous. The term includes a concatenated unique item identifier or a DoD recognized unique identification equivalent.

Unique item identifier type means a designator to indicate which method of uniquely identifying a part has been used. The current list of accepted unique item identifier types is maintained at http://www.acq.osd.mil/dpap/pdi/uid/uii_types.html.

(b) The Contractor shall deliver all items under a contract line, subline, or exhibit line item.

(c) Unique item identifier. (1) The Contractor shall provide a unique item identifier for the following:

(i) Delivered items for which the Government's unit acquisition cost is $5,000 or more, except for the following line items:

Contract line, subline, or exhibit line item No. Item description

(ii) Items for which the Government's unit acquisition cost is less than $5,000 that are identified in the Schedule or the following table:

Contract line, subline, or exhibit line item No. Item description

(If items are identified in the Schedule, insert ``See Schedule'' in this table.)

(iii) Subassemblies, components, and parts embedded within delivered items, items with warranty requirements, DoD serially managed reparables and DoD serially managed nonreparables as specified in Attachment Number ----.

(iv) Any item of special tooling or special test equipment as defined in FAR 2.101 that have been designated for preservation and storage for a Major Defense Acquisition Program as specified in Attachment Number ----.

(v) Any item not included in paragraphs (c)(1)(i), (ii), (iii), or

(iv) of this clause for which the contractor creates and marks a unique item identifier for traceability.

(2) The unique item identifier assignment and its component data element combination shall not be duplicated on any other item marked or registered in the DoD Item Unique Identification Registry by the contractor.

(3) The unique item identifier component data elements shall be marked on an item using two dimensional data matrix symbology that complies with ISO/IEC International Standard 16022, Information technology--International symbology specification--Data matrix; ECC200 data matrix specification.

(4) Data syntax and semantics of unique item identifiers. The Contractor shall ensure that--

(i) The data elements (except issuing agency code) of the unique item identifier are encoded within the data matrix symbol that is marked on the item using one of the following three types of data qualifiers, as determined by the Contractor:
