Statement of Work Kineto Tracking Mount (KTM) Sustainment and Support

Requested by:

Atlantic Ranges & Targets (ART) Patuxent River, Maryland Range Instrumentation Division (RID) Optical Systems Branch – Electro Optical Tracking Systems Section (EOTS)

A. SCOPE

The scope of this contract includes the sustainment of the Contraves/Brashear Kineto Tracking Mount (KTM) including all associated subassemblies and subsystems. It will also provide for the sustainment of all Range optical telescopes and lenses that are utilized for data collection.

B. Background

i. Atlantic Ranges and Targets (ART), located on Naval Air Station (NAS) Patuxent River, supports Naval Air Warfare Center’s Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) in conducting research, development, test, and evaluation (RDT&E) testing as a Major Ranges & Test Facility Base (MRTFB) test installation. ART is one of a handful of facilities and ranges regarded as national assets operated and maintained primarily for DoD RDT&E missions. MRTFB ranges and facilities provide unique assets to ensure proper RDT&E support for U.S. military weapon systems developers for, but not limited to: F/A-18(A-G), P-8, V-22, F-35, F-22, C-130, MQ-25, Triton, and Fire Scout aircraft and various weapons or unmanned platforms for the Navy and other Department of Defense (DoD) Agencies (Air Force, Army, etc.). Range instrumentation and display systems deliver decision-quality data to customers and mission control, as well as Bay Watch traffic advisory services for the Patuxent River Special-Use Airspace. ART has completed upgrades of several fixed and mobile Kineto Tracking Mount (KTM) optical tracking systems and plans to sustain these systems for another 15-20 years. A contract is required for the maintenance and sustainment of existing KTMs, KTM subsystems, sensors/optics, purchase of upgrades, and for an acquisition channel to purchase spares or repairs to reduce critical down time.

C. Intent

i. This statement of work (SOW) is for a five (5) year ordering period indefinite delivery-infinite quantity (IDIQ) contract, to support the maintenance, services, and upgrades for KTMs and optics at ART and other DoD/DoE/NASA ranges. This encompasses several aspects: technical support, obsolescence correction, upgrades, software updates/modifications, reverse engineering of Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) to recapture lost intellectual property for sustainment, on-site maintenance, preventative maintenance, corrective maintenance to include non-warranty hardware repair or replacement, spare parts, and replacement components. The SOW’s intent is to describe the services and equipment required.

The contractor shall provide maintenance and support services, in addition to hardware, software, and spare components. Sections 1-15 describe in detail what the contractor shall do. The contractor shall not start work prior to the administration of a task order, shall not make assumptions without contacting the contracting officer (KO) or contracting officer representative (COR, if a COR is assigned) directly for clarification, or shall not deviate from the contract without express permission from the KO. If any changes to the task order are required/requested, a modification must take place before any services, repairs, or delivery of hardware. The contractor shall be responsible for reports, status reviews, or test/evaluation test results as a result of any engineering design process, upgrade or modification, repair, or evaluation. The contractor shall provide the Government with a monthly Management Report (CDRL A006) and be prepared to submit data calls, and to cooperate with the Government in performance reviews and audits as required.

b. Government The Government will be responsible for the request package, market research, award, administering, managing, and closing out the contract. Except for the KO, no other person may change the scope, quantity, or the ceiling (funding) amount listed in the latest version of the contract. The Government is responsible for monitoring the contract and notifying the contractor of their performance throughout the life of the contract. To help manage the contract, the Government will have either a Contracting Officer Representative (COR) or Technical Point of Contacts (TPOC) assigned to the IDIQ.
