STATEMENT OF WORK

8 Jun 2015, Updated 10 Sep 2015

ManTech Navy Metalworking Center (NMC) of Excellence

STATEMENT OF WORK

1.0 Overview

1.1 Background of Navy Manufacturing Technology (ManTech) Program

The Secretary of Defense established a Manufacturing Technology Program to further the national security objectives of Section 2501(a) of U. S. Code Title 10 – Armed Forces, through the development and application of advanced manufacturing technologies and processes that will reduce the acquisition and supportability costs of defense weapon systems and reduce manufacturing and repair cycle times across the life cycles of such systems. The purpose of the program is to improve the manufacturing quality, productivity, technology, and practices of business and workers providing goods and services to the Department of Defense (DoD). DoD Directive 4200.15 implements the

Manufacturing Technology Program, and it dictates that DoD is to rely on private sector investment and the “free enterprise” system to provide the manufacturing technology necessary to produce DoD material. The Directive mandates ManTech investments are to be directed at improving the quality, productivity, technology, and practices of business and workers providing goods and services to the DoD.

The Navy Manufacturing Technology (ManTech) Program, operated out of the Office of

Naval Research (ONR), is focused on affordability improvements for specific key acquisition platforms as defined in the Navy ManTech Investment Strategy. Key platforms currently targeted include: the CVN 78 Class carrier; the DDG 51 Class destroyer; the VIRGINIA Class Submarine / OHIO Replacement Program; the Littoral

Combat Ship (LCS); and the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF). ONR ManTech helps these Navy programs achieve their respective affordability goals by transitioning developed manufacturing technology which, when implemented, results in needed cost reduction or cost avoidance.

Navy ManTech executes through Centers of Excellence using this key acquisition platform approach to develop cost reduction/avoidance platform portfolios and specific projects. There are presently seven Navy ManTech Centers of Excellence (COEs), and they serve as focal points for the development and technology transfer of new and advanced manufacturing processes and technology in a cooperative environment with industry, academia, and the Naval Research Enterprise. The COEs serve as corporate repositories of expertise in particular technological areas and collaborate with acquisition

Program Executive Offices (PEOs) / Program Offices (POs) and relevant industry to identify and resolve manufacturing issues impacting the key Navy acquisition platforms.

The COEs develop and demonstrate manufacturing technology solutions for identified

Navy manufacturing requirements, provide consulting services to naval industrial activities and industry, and facilitate the implementation of developed manufacturing technologies.

1.2 Overview of NMC

Inasmuch as the assigned missions of the Office of Naval Research (ONR)

Manufacturing Technology (ManTech) Navy Metalworking Center (NMC) of Excellence is dynamic, this Statement of Work (SOW) is not intended to be all-inclusive or restrictive, but is intended to provide a broad framework and general scope of the work to be performed at the NMC. This SOW does not represent commitment to, or imply funding for, specific projects or programs. The ONR ManTech work requirements are developed through strategic planning and program plans.

The Contractor shall, in accordance with the provisions of this Contract, provide the resources, intellectual leadership, and management expertise necessary and appropriate to managing and operating the NMC to accomplish its primary mission. The primary mission of the NMC is to develop metalworking or related manufacturing technologies and deploy them in U.S. shipyards and other relevant industry, with the goal of facilitating industry improvements and ultimately reducing the cost and time required to build and repair naval ships and other key naval platforms, as defined in the ONR

ManTech Investment Strategy.

In addition, the NMC shall perform all supporting functions for a Navy ManTech Center of Excellence, such as serving as a corporate repository of expertise in its particular technological area; performing special projects and industry surveys related to the mission as required; planning and conducting outreach activities to increase awareness of the NMC and disseminate manufacturing technology throughout the nation’s shipyards and industrial base to achieve additional implementations beyond the primary implementation site; and any other functions as assigned by the ONR ManTech Division.

1.3 NMC Core Mission and Scope of Work

The core mission and function of the NMC is to identify, develop, and facilitate the deployment of potential solution sets to U.S. shipyards and other industrial facilities i.e.

metalworking or related manufacturing technologies to reduce the cost and time to build and repair key naval platforms.

The primary focus of the NMC is expected to be on shipbuilding and shipyard improvements as reflected in the current Navy ManTech Investment Strategy which is focused largely on submarine, carrier, and surface combatant platforms. However, since the current ManTech Investment Strategy also includes the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, projects intended to help aircraft assembly and fabrication may be developed and executed through the NMC as well. Based on the current Navy ManTech Investment

Strategy, it is anticipated that ~75-80% of projects and funding would be directed towards shipbuilding-related efforts, with the balance directed towards aircraft assembly and related efforts. However, as the Navy ManTech Investment Strategy is updated annually, the percentage of work assigned to various platforms is expected to vary over time.

In accomplishing its mission, the NMC will work closely with the Navy’s acquisition community as well as Navy shipyards and other relevant industrial facilities to identify metalworking technologies and related processes that negatively impact shipyard or facility output or products, with respect to both cycle-time and cost. Then solicit, select, award, and manage projects to address improvements in the following (but not limited to) subject areas of expertise.

*metals and advance metallic materials

*metal-based composites

*ceramics

*metallic materials-based systems

*metal/non-metals interfaces issues

*primary metal materials manufacturing processes e.g. additive manufacturing

*joining techniques

*surface and heat treatments

*metalworking systems engineering activities

*material characterizations and testing

*process design control

*product design and structural performance

*environmental issues and recycling

*information and data handling and transfer

*manufacturing technology/industrial base infrastructure

*inspection technologies

The Contractor will operate and manage the NMC in its mission to develop naval platform-related manufacturing technologies and transition the technology for implementation in U.S. shipyards and other industrial facilities. In addition to accomplishing the NMC core mission, the Contractor shall manage, operate, sustain, and enhance the NMC ability to function as an ONR ManTech Center of Excellence.

The Contractor shall, with the highest degree of vision, quality, integrity, and technical excellence, maintain a strong scientific and engineering resource base responsive to manufacturing technology issues of national importance. The scope of work of this

Contract includes:

1. Operating and managing the COE in an efficient, cost effective, and innovative manner to accomplish its core mission of developing and facilitating the implementation of metalworking and related manufacturing technologies to U.S.

shipyards and other industrial facilities to reduce the cost and time to build and repair key naval platforms. (Section 2.0)

2. Organizing, facilitating and executing a naval platform and shipyard/industrial base driven project selection process, supporting the key naval platform programs identified by the ONR ManTech Investment Strategy and the ONR Program

Officer, in order to recommend technical work. Projects selected should be important to both the Navy and the naval industrial base that builds and/or repairs naval platforms. (Section 3.0).

3. Initiating and managing ManTech projects approved by the ONR Program

Officer. Management of projects should include the use of an earned-value or similar methodology that tracks and relates technical progress, schedule, and funding. (Section 3.0)

4. Providing support of special projects or non-ManTech funded projects that relate to the COE mission, as directed by the ONR Program Officer. (Section 3.0)

5. Providing all required reporting, including COE-level and project-level deliverables, for the evaluation of the technical and financial progress of the

Center and of each technical project. (Sections 2.0 and 3.0)

6. Planning, coordinating, and conducting outreach activities and projects to increase awareness of the NMC and to facilitate technology transition and implementation of ManTech-developed manufacturing technology at additional shipyards and industrial facilities beyond the initial implementation site of any particular technical project. (Section 2.0)

7. Traveling in support of the NMC. Travel shall be planned and conducted in such a fashion to provide maximum flexibility and use of time in support of the COE.

All travel shall be in accordance with the FAR and applicable federal travel regulations. (Sections 2.0 and 3.0)

It is currently envisioned that the NMC contract will be structured with multiple delivery/task orders. This Statement of Work covers two general activity areas critical to the NMC accomplishment of its mission: Delivery/Task Order 0001: Center Operations and Management (Section 2.0) and Delivery/Task Order 0002: Project Development and

Management (Section 3.0).

CDRL A001: COE Quarterly Report

CDRL A002: Contract Final Report

CDRL A003: All other ManTech Program deliverables as required

3.0 Delivery/Task Order 0002: Project Development and Management

In support of the ONR ManTech Program, the NMC shall identify, develop and transition metalworking or related manufacturing technologies to U.S. shipyards and other industrial facilities to reduce the cost and time to build and repair key naval platforms, as identified in the Navy ManTech Investment Strategy. Primary means of accomplishing this core mission is through the development and execution of technical projects whose results will be transitioned to industry.

The three basic types of ManTech projects are:

• Standard projects: typically 12-36 months duration; typically $500K - $3M funding range.

• Mega Rapid Response projects - urgent requirement. Maximum 9 months duration and $500K funding (nominally $150K - $500K) or limits set per current

ONR guidance.

• Rapid Response projects – smaller, urgent requirement. Typically, 4-6 month duration and $50K-$100K range

Standard Projects and Mega Rapid Response projects will be managed under Delivery

Order/Task 0002 but will be executed under other delivery/task orders awarded under the base contract. Rapid Response projects will be managed and executed under

Delivery/Task Order 0002.

Note: Non-ManTech Projects - At the discretion of the ONR Program Officer, NMC may execute and manage technical projects, other than Navy ManTech projects, that are related to shipbuilding, aircraft fabrication, or other naval- or defense-related industries or platforms. Examples of these projects may include, but are not limited to, projects from other ONR Technical Codes, congressional interest (“plus-up”) projects, or Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD)-funded Manufacturing Science and Technology efforts. These Non-ManTech projects are typically awarded under separate, individual delivery/task orders and the management of these efforts is charged directly to those projects, not Delivery Order/Task 0002, unless coordinated with ONR ManTech.

3.1 Project Development

Project development is generally broken down into the following three steps.

Note: The below information is based on current ONR ManTech policy and guidance.

ONR reserves the right to revise and refine the below project development process.

3.1.1 Issue Identification

The Contractor, via their relationships with Navy PEOs, program offices, warfare centers, etc., as well as their relationships with shipbuilders and other relevant industry, will identify metalworking or related manufacturing technology issues and/or needs. These needs shall be turned into ManTech project candidates. The

Contractor shall document these issues as appropriate by generating an issue sheet, quad chart, and/or other documentation as appropriate.

3.1.2 Candidate Project Selection

The Contractor shall continuously prioritize candidate projects so that resources may be properly allocated. This prioritization shall be based on interactions between the NMC, the ONR ManTech Program Officer, shipyards and other industry, and various Systems Commands program offices (Program Executive

Offices, Program Management Offices, etc.). The Contractor shall assist in matching these needs to recommended ManTech projects, Mega Rapid Response projects, Rapid Response projects, or other proposed solutions.

Project selection will be in accordance with guidance and timelines set by the

Navy ManTech Office in effect at that time. Currently, the COEs present their prioritized list of candidate projects to the ONR ManTech Director and Program

Officers at a Candidate Project Selection Meeting in the winter of the prior fiscal year (e.g. candidate projects for Fiscal Year 2016, which begins October 1, 2015, will be presented December 2014). The ManTech Director and the Program

Officers will then select project ideas for further development based on anticipated availability of funds. Off-cycle project candidates will be considered based on need and funding availability. This project selection process should also be in keeping with the approved ManTech Investment Strategy and any key platforms or PEO(s) identified within.

3.1.3 Individual Project Development

Projects may be developed as ManTech projects, Mega Rapid Response projects, or Rapid Response projects. As the majority of efforts are expected to be

ManTech projects, the ManTech project development process is described below.

Mega Rapid Response and Rapid Response projects may have an alternate, simplified development process as described by ONR guidance and/or Program

Officer direction.

As part of project development, the Contractor will endeavor to obtain quality cost share from participating project subcontractors, program offices, etc. as well as identify available leveraging opportunities and other methods to augment Navy

ManTech investment.

Upon candidate selection and approval by the ONR ManTech Office, each

ManTech project shall be initiated under a three-step process.

1. Program Planning Document (PPD) Development: The Contractor will coordinate the development of a Program Planning Document with teaming partners and Navy points of contact. This PPD will contain a list of performers/ team members, estimated project costs, technical statement of work outline, benefit information, draft schedules, draft metrics, and other information as requested by the Program Officer. This PPD will then be submitted to the Program Officer for review and approval.

For Navy ManTech-funded projects, it is expected that the Contractor will employ a strategy of utilizing subcontracting authority as appropriate with industry (weapons system prime contractors, system integrators, and/or their associated vendors and suppliers) or other commercial entities where expertise or technologies are required to be deployed or are already resident.

Upon approval of the PPD, the ONR Program Officer will issue the NMC a Project Development Request (PDR) which authorizes the COE to develop a project plan for the proposed effort. The PDR signals an intention to provide, but is not a guarantee of, eventual project funding.

2. Project Plan Submittal: The Contractor will submit a Project Plan (also known as the proposal package) to the Navy for approval. This plan shall generally include: an executive summary; background; goals, objectives, and benefits; technical scope/approach and plans; technical analyses;

financial spend plans; statements of work; schedules, milestones and deliverables; risk assessments; detailed cost and budget proposals; detailed cost analyses; benefits and savings analyses and summaries; investment cost sharing plans and cost leveraging summaries; technology transition plans (TTPs); and Stakeholder and Technical Assistant concurrences.

3. Project Plan Review and Approval: The ONR Program Officer will review the submitted Project Plan. If approved, the Program Officer will provide an analysis and approval document to the ONR Contracting

Officer. The Contracting Officer will negotiate/award a new delivery/task order or delivery/task order modification for performance of the approved project.

3.2 Project Management

Awarded projects are to be managed by the Contractor as instructed by the ONR Program

Officer. This includes, but is not limited to, providing technical, programmatic, and financial oversight and guidance to the project team; coordinating project activities with government stakeholders and technical authorities; and completing all project management documentation (monthly and quarterly reports, quad charts, project final report, etc.). It is expected that for each awarded project, the Contractor will hold regular status telecons with the project IPT members and hold project kickoff meetings, periodic project status and milestone gate reviews, and final reviews. Projects shall be tracked using the EVMs or equivalent process referenced in Section 2.2.1.

3.3 Project Development and Management Meetings and Travel

NMC personnel shall expect to travel and participate in meetings in support of Project

Development and Management efforts. Typically, these meetings would include, but not be limited to: 1) future FY planning meetings at specific shipyards and industrial facilities; 2) project kickoff and coordination meetings, and 3) final project reviews.

3.4 Project-Level Deliverables

For each ManTech project, the Contractor shall submit:

• Project Program Planning Document (PPD)

• Project Plan

In addition, the Contractor shall submit project-level ManTech deliverables as specified in the Annual Navy ManTech Guidance, including but not limited to:

• Technology Transition Plan (TTP)

• Projects Database Information

• Project Book Information

• Project Quad Chart

• Project Briefings, as applicable

• Success Story, as applicable

Other deliverables may include any and all prototypes, mock-ups, tooling, software, samples, and components purchased and/or fabricated under ManTech funding during the execution of individual projects, if applicable. This may also include process specifications, designs (both components and tooling), manufacturing cost data for tooling and component fabrication, and all test results.

3.5 Project-Level Data Requirements
