SCOPE

This Statement of Work (SOW) describes the work scope associated with the Amphibious Combat Vehicle (ACV) Phase 1, Increment 1, Program hereafter referred to as the ACV Program. It includes all efforts associated with the Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) vehicle production and testing, Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) (Option, if exercised) Build, and Full Rate Production (FRP) (Option, if exercised) Build. It includes the associated Program Management, Systems Engineering (SE), Test and Evaluation (T&E), and Integrated Product Support planning requirements.

BACKGROUND

The ACV Program will continue to build upon the preparatory work of the Marine Personnel Carrier (MPC) Program efforts conducted from 2006 to 2013. In 2006, the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) provided strategic planning guidance to the United States Marine Corps (USMC) to maintain a two (2) Marine Expeditionary Brigade (MEB) forcible entry capability and propose a mix of vehicles suitable for Irregular Warfare (IW) to provide a mobility portfolio that better balanced our maneuver/mobility capability for Major Contingency Operations and IW. In response, the USMC proposed a combination of a light vehicle and a medium vehicle designed for the threats seen in IW. Both maintain a capability to maneuver with formations while conducting Major Contingency Operations. A medium personnel carrier was assessed as necessary to provide the full protection required in a high Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) environment, and the multi-axle wheeled configuration was assessed as the most suitable platform for high cross country speed, combined with the ability to transit urban infrastructure in a non-threatening and non-destructive manner. The Marine Requirements Oversight Council (MROC) convened on 4 February 2008 for a decision brief on the MPC material solution and operational fielding placement, based on the MPC Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) dated December 2007. The Ground Combat Tactical Vehicle Strategy was finalized in August 2008, setting the fundamental MPC capacities (Acquisition Objectives), strategic lift envelope, protection, payload, and performance required of the MPC as a system.

After the Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle (EFV) Program cancellation in January 2011, a Systems Engineering Operational Planning Team (SE-OPT) convened to conduct engineering and cost analysis of EFV requirements to identify those parameters driving complexity in design, identify trade-space, and develop requirement generation options for an EFV replacement, called the ACV. The SE-OPT analyzed 11 system concepts against capabilities delivered, cost, and schedule of delivery. The SE-OPT fully developed four (4) of the system concepts with various capabilities and costs that represented a range of capability from Assault Amphibious Vehicle (AAV)-based system concepts to new developmental ACV-based system concepts. All four (4) system concepts were low water speed capable. The SE-OPT determined and recommended that the most affordable solution was to develop a modern low water speed capable AAV replacement.

Concurrently with the efforts of the SE-OPT, the Government awarded four (4) MPC Demonstrations and & Studies (D&S) Contracts on 6 August 2012 to better understand the capabilities of Non-Developmental Items (NDIs) to meet water performance, survivability, and human factors/stowage capacity requirements. The promising results of testing these demonstrator vehicles led to a re-invigorated ACV Program in late 2013 using the type of NDI vehicles tested during the D&S Contracts as a baseline. In January 2014, the MPC initiative was reprioritized and repurposed to be the material approach for the Phase 1 Program of the ACV. The MPC Program was then re-designated as the ACV Phase 1 Increment 1 (i.e., ACV 1.1) and an acquisition strategy was selected with a NDI Armored Personnel Carrier (APC).

In April 2014, the MROC approved the ACV Capability Development Document (CDD) which will be followed by a Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) approval once the AoA is finalized, setting the stage for development of programmatic and contractual documentation. The Materiel Development Decision (MDD) was received on 4 June 2014 to formally initiate the ACV Program. The current requirement for the USMC is 12 infantry battalion lift equivalents via APCs. The ACV capability along with the AAV Survivability Upgrade will provide the USMC ten (10) infantry battalion lift equivalents through 2035. After which time, the future phase(s) of the ACV Program will provide for the entirety of the USMC armored lift capacity requirement.

1. Define all tasks required to execute the Government-approved Contract IMP. Define all internal and external schedule dependencies necessary to execute the Contract IMS.

1. Incorporate material order, material delivery, fabrication, assembly, and test for vehicle production and delivery into the IMS (e.g., EMD CLINs, LRIP (Option, if exercised) CLINs, and FRP (Option, if exercised) CLINs).

1. Include Contractor tasks required to accomplish each IMP event and relevant subcontractor scheduled milestones necessary for the achievement of each Contract IMS event.

1. Include all CDRL deliveries and events as defined by the IMP.

1. Be vertically traceable to the Contract IMP, the Contract Work Breakdown Structure (CWBS), and the Contract SOW and horizontally traceable to all dependent project tasks, identifying the relationships and constraints between project tasks.

Schedule Risk Assessment

A probabilistic SRA shall be developed and delivered in accordance with IPMR CDRL A010. The SRA will provide the Government with an understanding of the potential schedule impacts associated with existing or emerging program risks. These analyses shall compute the probability of completing key milestones, events, and tasks/activities by specific dates. The Contractor shall report optimistic, pessimistic, and most likely remaining durations and rationale for the values in accordance with the Contract IMS for each task/activity on the following paths: critical path to contract completion, critical path to the next Major MS (e.g. MS C), and the next three (3) near-critical paths to the next Major MS. Global weighting values and rationale shall also be provided by the Contractor. In addition, the Contractor technical team members shall be asked to provide pessimistic, most likely, and optimistic durations for moderate to high risk activities identified in the Program Risk Database (generally identified through a risk cube) that are associated with IMS tasks.

CONTRACTOR WORK BREAKDOWN STRUCTURE

The Contractor shall refine the WBS Index and Dictionary developed by the Government at an appropriate level to make the resulting structure program specific, and to facilitate effective Program Management; in accordance with MIL-STD-881C, Work Breakdown Structures for Defense Materiel Items. The Contractor shall establish the CWBS definition at a level necessary to identify work progress and enable effective management, regardless of the CWBS level reported per Section J, Attachment 06, Cost and Software Data Reporting (CSDR) Plan, for program oversight. The Contractor shall be responsible for periodic updates and maintenance of the CWBS at the level below the required reporting level established per Section J, Attachment 06, CSDR Plan, according to the provisions set forth in the CWBS. Changes to the reporting level CWBS, as specified per Section J, Attachment 06, CSDR Plan, require a contractual modification before incorporation; however, the Contractor has complete flexibility to extend the CWBS below the reporting level to reflect how work is accomplished. The CWBS shall not be influenced by the Contractor’s organizational structure. For reporting purposes, the CWBS is required to be the same for CCDR and IPMR, though reporting levels may be different for each report. The Contractor shall prepare and deliver the CWBS Index and Dictionary in accordance with CDRL A011. Section J, Attachment 28 provides the Program WBS Index and Dictionary as a reference to assist the Contractor in the development of the CWBS Index and Dictionary, should the Contractor choose to use it.
