5252.204-9503 EXPEDITING CONTRACT CLOSEOUT (NAVAIR) (JAN 2007)

(a) As part of the negotiated fixed price or total estimated amount of this contract, both the Government and the Contractor have agreed to waive any entitlement that otherwise might accrue to either party in any residual dollar amount of $1,000 or less at the time of final contract closeout. The term "residual dollar amount" shall include all money that would otherwise be owed to either party at the end of the contract, except that, amounts connected in any way with taxation, allegations of fraud and/or antitrust violations shall be excluded. For purposes of determining residual dollar amounts, offsets of money owed by one party against money that would otherwise be paid by that party might be considered to the extent permitted by law.

(b) This agreement to waive entitlement to residual dollar amounts has been considered by both parties. It is agreed that the administrative costs for either party associated with collecting such small dollar amounts could exceed the amount to be recovered.

5252.211-9503 LEVEL OF EFFORT (COST REIMBURSEMENT) (NAVAIR)(DEC 2012) - ALT I (JUN 2013)

(a) The level of effort estimated to be ordered during the term of this contract is 1,745,280 man-hours of direct labor including authorized subcontract labor, if any.

(b) FAR Clause 52.232-20, "Limitation of Cost" applies to fully funded orders and FAR Clause 52.232-22, "Limitation of Funds" applies to incrementally funded orders. Nothing in this clause amends the rights or responsibilities of the parties hereto under either of those two clauses. In addition, the notifications required by this clause are separate and distinct from any specified in either FAR Clause 52.232-20 or FAR Clause 52.232-22.

(c) It is agreed that while the contractor's performance during the period set forth in paragraph (a) above is based upon an anticipated level of effort consisting of man-hours of direct labor (as may be described or defined elsewhere herein), such level of effort may fluctuate, either upward or downward, by no more than ten (10%) percent of the total anticipated man-hours. This fixed fee is agreed to be paid for man-hours expended from ninety (90%) percent to one hundred ten (110%) percent of the total anticipated man-hours. The fixed fee shall not vary with the cost of the actual effort supplied within this range. In the event that less than ninety (90%) percent of the anticipated level of effort is actually expended by the expiration date of the contract, the Government shall have the option of:

(1) requiring the contractor to continue to perform until the level of effort expended equals ninety (90%) percent of the anticipated level of effort; or

(2) effecting a reduction in the fixed fee by the percentage by which the total expended man-hours is less than ninety (90%) percent of the anticipated level of effort.

(d) The contractor agrees that effort performed in fulfillment of level of effort obligations under this contract shall include only verifiable effort in direct support of the work specified. It shall not include efforts such as work performed in transit to or from an employee's usual workplace, work during lunchtime activities, or effort performed at other non-work locations.

STREAMLINED ORDERING PROCEDURE

B-1 STREAMLINED ORDERING PROCEDURE

Level of Effort (LOE) Orders will be issued under this contract using the following streamlined ordering procedures:

(1) For each proposed order, the PCO will provide the contractor with a Task Order (TO) and an Independent Government Cost Estimate (IGCE). The IGCE is an estimate of labor hours by labor category utilizing the estimated and negotiated Composite Labor rates table below to calculate the total estimated cost for the proposed TO. The TO fixed fee is calculated using Section H Clause, H-3 FIXED FEE and Section G Clause, 5252.232-9510 PAYMENT OF FIXED FEE (NAVAIR).

(2) These Composite rates are estimates, and invoicing will be based upon actual costs incurred. Ceiling for Other Direct Costs (ODC) will be priced in accordance with the Government estimate. TOs crossing multiple years will be estimated by the Government using the composite rates for each year in proportion to the period of performance of the TO. The composite rates below are exclusive of fixed fee.

(3) Contractor response:

(i) If the contractor agrees that it can perform the TO within the parameters of the IGCE, the contractor shall sign and return the DD-1155 to the PCO within three (3) working days of receipt of the TO and the IGCE. If the requirement remains valid, a priced order will be issued to the contractor;

(ii) If the contractor does not agree with the TO and/or IGCE, the contractor shall submit a proposal to the PCO within five (5) working days of receipt of the TO and IGCE, addressing only the specific areas of difference in labor categories and/or hours in the IGCE. Once the differences are resolved between the PCO and the contractor, and the requirement remains valid, a priced order will be issued to the contractor. If the contractor fails to respond to the proposed order within five (5) working days of receipt of the TO, the PCO may unilaterally issue the TO or extend the deadlines above when in the best interest of the Government.

STATEMENT OF WORK

1.0 PROGRAM OVERVIEW

The F-35 Joint Program Office (JPO) is a joint, multi-national program and is the Department of Defense’s (DoD) focal point for defining affordable next generation strike aircraft weapon systems among the United States (U.S.) Air Force (USAF), U.S. Navy (USN), U.S. Marine Corps (USMC), and U.S. allies currently composed of seven (7) cooperative international partners: the United Kingdom, Italy, Netherlands, Canada, Australia, Denmark, and Norway;

as well as Foreign Military Sales (FMS) customers. The F-35 is the next generation strike fighter bringing cutting-edge technologies to the battle-space of the future. The F-35’s advanced airframe, autonomic logistics, avionics, propulsion systems, stealth, and firepower will ensure that the F-35 is the most affordable, lethal, supportable and survivable aircraft ever to be used by so many warfighters around the world. The JPO is a product-aligned organization comprised of Program Management Offices (PMOs) designed to deliver five major products across the acquisition lifecycle: Air Vehicle, Propulsion, Combat Data Systems, Training Systems & Simulation, and Maintenance Systems. These PMOs are empowered with the responsibility and authority necessary to effectively deliver their capabilities to the Warfighter. The program’s objective is to develop and deploy the F-35 Air System (AS), a three (3) variant family of highly common and affordable 5th Generation strike fighter aircraft that meets the operational needs of the USAF, USN, USMC, and cooperative partner international services. Additional production of the F-35 is made through FMS. The JPO Chief Enterprise Support Office (CESO) supports the PMOs with program management, contracting services, and quality assurance in order to provide the best, most efficient contract strategies in support of the JSF vision, mission, goals and objectives.

2.0 SCOPE
