Training necessary to meet minimum requirements will not be paid for by the Government or charged to the task order by Contractors.

3.1.4 Mission-Unique Training

In situations where the Government organization being supported requires some unique level of support because of program and/or mission-unique needs, then the contractor may directly charge the task order on a cost reimbursable basis for the unique training necessary to support those needs. Unique training required for successful support must be specifically authorized by the Contracting Officer (CO). Labor expenses and travel related expenses may be allowed to be billed on a cost reimbursement basis. Tuition/Registration/ Book fees (costs) may also be recoverable on a cost reimbursable basis if specifically authorized by the CO.

The agency requiring the unique support must document the contract file with a signed memorandum that such contemplated labor, travel, and costs to be reimbursed by the Government are mission essential and in direct support of unique or special requirements to support the billing of such costs against the task order.

3.2 ITW/AA Enterprise Systems Engineering and Integration (SE&I) Controls The SE&I contractor shall use SE&I controls to develop processes and deliver products within the

PWS.

The contractor SE&I controls shall address the following requirements:

The ITW/AA Integrator will work closely on a regular basis with the unified combatant commands (NORTHCOM, USSTRATCOM), NORAD, AFSPC, ITW/AA and non-ITW/AA program offices, as well as the relevant ITW/AA change control forums regarding ITW/AA network and interface requirements. The ITW/AA Integrator will maintain a record (have access to) of the applicable and current ITW/AA network and interface requirements to be used for analyzing ITW/AA interface requirements.

• Assess integration issues within the ITW/AA enterprise

• Maintain currency of Master Message Catalog data content which resides within the

Integrated Database System Support (IDSS ) database and briefs the status to USSPACECOM Functional Managers Office (FMO) (NOTE: this is not maintaining the IDSS database maintenance and configuration). Interface with missile warning stakeholders on a periodic basis to collect relevant inputs on program status, coordinate with system points of contacts regarding pertinent information across affected programs and strengthen the working relationship. Attend system level program reviews as appropriate to enhance interactions and information sharing related to data updates/impacts to associated systems.

• Pro-actively identify potential cross programs activities and inter-program dependencies which results in a version controlled Watch Item List

• Analyze, assess, and rank order a Watch Item List of potential ITW/AA issues

• Manage ITW/AA systems listed in IDSS database. Identify and compare program baselines for recommended changes within IDSS. Implement data changes

• At the ITW/AA program level, the contractor shall maintain and evolve Government approved engineering management control processes

• Tracks proposed changes to the ITW/AA system interfaces, provides analysis to and suggesting resolution of integration issues between systems supporting the ITW/AA mission prior to an actual change

• Monitors the implementation of changes to ensure mission integrity

• This effort includes establishment of an Integrator Configuration Control Board and a requirements management process for the IWSD and SCF portions of the IISIS tool.

This process will include a method for managing changes to the appropriate portions of the IISIS tool while maintaining requirements consistency/traceability.

• Record the official copies of relevant Interface Control Documents (ICDs) within the IWSD. The ITW/AA Integrator will coordinate with ICD owners to provision the “official” ICDs to be maintained in the IWSD. However, the approval authority for any ICD changes remains with the owner or SPO and the Integrator does not have responsibility for ICD maintenance. Coordinate with owners of systems and system interfaces for ICD updates to be included in IWSD. Ensure consistency with the Program of Record (POR) and their system documentation.

• Validate external interface data. External interface data must be validated for non- ITW/AA systems communicating with the ITW/AA system to ensure ITW/AA mission integrity. This activity focuses on validating external interface data for non-ITW/AA systems to ensure all interface documents and message formats are accurately represented and incorporated. Significant coordination and interaction is required with SMEs, sites and programs, other commands and common users to support this activity, validate documentation, and ensure data currency and accuracy.

• Monitor Key Performance Parameters (KPPs) supports monitoring Key Performance Parameters (KPPs) and evaluating ITW/AA performance data to assure end-to-end system timelines meet performance timelines established per CJCSI 6210. This effort includes coordination and collaboration with other program offices for collection and analysis of TPE event data.

• Identify ITW/AA performance and capability gaps and to provide relevant performance/capability improvement recommendations. The ITW/AA Integrator monitors or requests information from various testing activities related to key platform performance and mission capability and KPP thresholds, as well as performing the necessary performance analyses. This activity includes identifying and briefing the ITW/AA Operations Approval Board (OAB) on ITW/AA C2 System-of-systems risks.

This effort also looks at future changes with potential ITW/AA performance and capability impacts.

This process will include a method for managing changes to the appropriate portions of the IISIS tool while maintaining requirements consistency/traceability.

Record the official copies of relevant Interface Control Documents (ICDs) within the IWSD.

The ITW/AA Integrator will coordinate with ICD owners to provision the “official” ICDs to be maintained in the IWSD. However, the approval authority for any ICD changes remains with the owner or SPO and the Integrator does not have responsibility for ICD maintenance.

Coordinate with owners of systems and system interfaces for ICD updates to be included in IWSD. Ensure consistency with the Program of Record (POR) and their system documentation.

The ITW/AA Integrator will track ITW/AA schedules to create and maintain an integrated master schedule. This master schedule will show milestones and integration dependencies of new systems or system upgrades. After an analysis of the schedule the Integrator can highlight possible impacts to ITW/AA system interfaces. This effort includes coordinating with system program offices and owners on program schedules; creating a master integrated schedule (leveraging the existing ESC/HSI integrated schedule and the test master schedule);

analyzing the milestones and dependencies for ITW/AA impacts; and tracking and reporting on watch items or issues.

DATA DELIVERABLES

The Government requires all deliverables that include Scientific and Technical Information (STINFO), as determined by the Government, be properly marked IAW DoD Instruction 5230.24, Distribution Statements on Technical Documents, and AFI 61-201, Management of Scientific and Technical Information, prior to initial coordination or final delivery. Failure to mark deliverables as instructed by the Government will result in non-compliance and non-acceptance of the deliverable.

The Contractor shall include the proper markings on any deliverable deemed STINFO regardless of media type, stage of completeness, or method of distribution. Therefore, even draft documents containing STINFO and STINFO sent via email require correct markings.

Additionally, the Contractor shall formally deliver as a CDRL all intellectual property, software, licensing, physical records, files, documents, working papers, meeting minutes, and other data for which the Government shall treat as deliverable.

The Government will identify instructions for each CDRL using a DD Form 1423-1. Table 2 depicts the CDRLs using a DD Form 1423-1.
