C-1. PART 1: GENERAL STATEMENT OF WORK

The Next Generation Logistics Ship (NGLS) Program is a new class of ships intended to augment the current

Combat Logistics Force ships. The NGLS will enable refueling, rearming, and resupply of Naval and USMC assets

– afloat and ashore – in support of Distributed Maritime Operations, Littoral Operations Contested Environment, and Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations. The NGLS is envisioned to be smaller than existing ships in the

Combat Logistics Force, and will operate in contested environments, sustaining afloat (Surface Action Groups and

Light Amphibious Warships) and ashore (Expeditionary Advanced Base) requirements. NGLS is currently conceived to be either a single ship type providing Refuel, Resupply, and Rearm capabilities or a combination of ship types that provide the Refuel, Resupply, and Rearm capabilities across multiple platforms. The NGLS may be a single class of ships capable of performing all 3 mission areas (i.e. refuel, rearm, resupply) or a combination of ship classes each performing 1 or 2 mission areas. The Navy is seeking to study concepts for NGLS ships in the size range from commercial Platform Supply Vessels (PSV) to larger Coastal Tankers.

In accordance with the NGLS Baseline Requirements Document (BRD), Attachment J-1, the statement of work, the terms and conditions of the contract, and the other documents listed in Section J, the Contractor shall conduct

Industry Studies for the NGLS to perform capability and cost trade studies in key areas, investigate options to maximize affordability and producibility, and develop concept designs. Objectives are (1) to identify cost effective design solutions; (2) determine viability of incorporating all 3 mission areas into a single design; and (3) inform development of the Detail Design and Construction (DD&C) Circular of Requirements (COR) from the NGLS

Baseline Requirements Document (BRD), Attachment J-1. Based on the results of these industry studies and ongoing mission definition, the COR issued with the DD&C Request for Proposal (RFP) may change significantly and drive different ship concepts.

The Contractor shall identify cost effective ship design solution(s) to fulfill all 3 mission requirements (i.e. refuel, rearm, resupply) and identify other areas of production, documentation, and testing to reduce the acquisition cost of the vessels. The Contractor may satisfy all 3 mission areas (i.e. refuel, rearm, resupply) through a single class of ships or through a combination of ship classes each performing 1 or 2 mission areas, but the Contractor must provide a complete set of ship concept(s) that can perform the refuel, resupply, and rearm missions.

The Contractor shall place emphasis on the use of commercially available, non-developmental and proven technologies. Component commonality with other Military Sealift Command ships is desirable.

The Contractor shall provide, and the Government will retain, Government Purpose Rights to technical data. As such future solicitations may contain some or all the recommendations and delivered products developed by the

Contractor under this contract. Business sensitive data such as details of cost estimates and shipyard capability information may be marked as “proprietary”, where such proprietary marking is justified by the Contractor and approved by the Government. Any proprietary or sensitive business data provided by the Contractor via a deliverable must be marked appropriately and will not be shared with other industry participants. All commercial and non-commercial data delivered must be marked with the technical data rights appropriately asserted by the

Contractor. Assertions must be made in accordance with DFAR 52.227-7013 and 52.227-7017.

The metric system of measurement (International System of Units (SI)) shall be used for technical efforts and related documents, except where necessary to interface with existing English unit equipment or systems. Where existing technical documents are in English units for equipment or systems, conversion of the documentation to metric system need not be performed.

The Contractor’s obligation to perform this contract is in no way conditioned upon the Government providing any facilities, material, property, equipment, services, or information, except as may be otherwise expressly provided herein.

The Contractor shall prepare and deliver the data items required by the Data Requirements List (DRL), Attachment

(c) Orders. Orders may be issued on a fixed price or cost reimbursable basis at the discretion of the Contracting Officer to the extent permitted by the CLIN structure. Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (e) below, the Contractor shall not begin any work on an order until a firm priced order or an estimated cost and fixed fee order is issued by the

Contracting Officer. Upon receipt of a proposed order, the Contractor shall promptly submit to the Contracting Officer a proposal for the work specified in the order. The Contractor agrees that it will submit such cost or pricing data as the

Contracting Officer may require. Promptly after receipt of the Contractor's proposal and supporting cost or pricing data, if required, the Contractor and the Contracting Officer shall negotiate and agree upon a price and delivery schedule for the work being ordered. The price and delivery schedule, as agreed upon, shall be set forth in the priced order and the order shall be signed by both the Contracting Officer and the Contractor. Upon receipt of the order, the Contractor shall promptly commence work and shall diligently complete it.

(d) Rejection of Unilateral Orders. The Contractor may reject any unilateral order if the Contractor determines it cannot feasibly perform the order, or if it does not concur with the maximum ceiling amount. However, each unilateral order shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Contractor unless within fifteen (15) days of issuance of the order the

Contractor notifies the Contracting Officer in writing of its rejection of the order.

(e) Undefinitized Orders. Whenever the Contracting Officer determines that urgent demands or requirements prevent the issuance of a definitized order, the Contracting Officer may issue an unpriced order. Such order may be unilateral or bilateral and shall establish a limitation on Government liability, a maximum ceiling amount and a schedule for definitization, as described in subparagraph (f)(2) below. Upon request, the Contractor shall submit a maximum ceiling amount proposal before the undefinitized order is issued. The maximum ceiling amount is the maximum price at which the order may be definitized. Except as provided in paragraph (d) above, the Contractor shall commence performance of the order upon receipt. The clause entitled "Contract Definitization" (DFARS 252.217-7027) shall be included in any undefinitized order.

(C) other mutually agreeable clauses, terms and/or conditions. No later than sixty (60) days after the undefinitized order is issued, the Contractor shall submit a cost proposal with sufficient data to support the accuracy and derivation of its price; and, when required by FAR or the Contracting Officer, cost or pricing data. If additional cost information is available prior to the conclusion of negotiations, the Contractor shall provide that information to the Contracting Officer.

The amount agreed upon shall be set forth in a bilateral modification to the order. In no event shall the amount exceed the maximum ceiling amount specified in the undefinitized order.

(2) Each undefinitized order shall contain a schedule for definitization which shall include a target date for definitization and dates for submission of a qualifying proposal, beginning of negotiations and, if appropriate, submission of make-or-buy and subcontracting plans and cost or pricing data. Submission of a qualifying proposal in accordance with the definitization schedule is a material element of the order. The schedule shall provide for definitization of the order by the earlier of:

(i) specified target date which is not more than 180 days after the issuance of the undefinitized order.

However, that target date may be extended by the Contracting Officer for up to l80 days after the

Contractor submits a qualifying proposal as defined in DFARS 2l7.740l; or

(ii) the date on which the amount of funds obligated by the Government under the undefinitized order exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the order's maximum ceiling amount.

(3) If agreement on a definitive order is not reached within the time provided pursuant to subparagraph (f)(2) above, the Contracting Officer may, with the approval of the Head of the Contracting Activity, determine a reasonable amount in accordance with Subpart l5.4 and Part 3l of the FAR, and issue a unilateral order subject to Contractor appeal as provided in the "Disputes" clause (FAR 52.233-1). In any event, the Contractor shall proceed with completion of the order, subject to the "Limitation of Government Liability" clause (FAR 52.216-24).

(g) Limitation of Government Liability.

(l) Each undefinitized order shall set forth the limitation of Government liability, which shall be the maximum amount that the Government will be obligated to pay the Contractor for performance of the order until the order is definitized. The Contractor is not authorized to make expenditures or incur obligations exceeding the limitation of

Government liability set forth in the order. If such expenditures are made, or if such obligations are incurred, those expenditures and obligations will be at the Contractor's sole risk and expense. Further, the limitation of liability shall be the maximum Government liability if the order is terminated. The clause at FAR 52.216-24 shall be included in any undefinitized order.

(2) Except for undefinitized orders for Foreign Military Sales; purchases at or below the simplified acquisition threshold; special access programs; and Congressionally-mandated long lead procurements; and except as otherwise provided in subparagraph (g)(3) below, the limitation of Government liability shall not exceed fifty percent (50%) of the maximum ceiling amount of an undefinitized order. In the case of orders within these excepted categories, however, the procedures set forth herein shall be followed to the maximum extent practical.

(3) If the Contractor submits a qualifying proposal, as defined in DFARS 217.7401, to definitize an order before the

Government obligated fifty percent (50%) of the maximum ceiling amount, the Contracting Officer may increase the limitation of Government liability up to no more than seventy-five percent (75%) of the maximum ceiling amount or up to seventy-five percent (75%) of the amount proposed by the Contractor, whichever is less.

(4) If at any time the Contractor believes that its expenditures under an order will exceed the limitation of

Government liability, the Contractor shall so notify the Contracting Officer, in writing, and propose an appropriate increase in the limitation of Government liability of such order. Within thirty (30) days of such notice, the Contracting

Officer will either (i) notify the Contractor in writing of such appropriate increase, or (ii) instruct the Contractor how and to what extent the work shall be continued; provided, however, that in no event shall the Contractor be obligated to proceed with work on an undefinitized order beyond the point where its costs incurred plus a reasonable profit or fee exceed the limitation of Government liability, and provided also that in no event shall the Government be obligated to pay the Contractor any amount in excess of the limitation of Government liability specified in any such order prior to definitization.

(h) Initial Spares. The limitations set forth in paragraph (e) and subparagraphs (f)(2), (g)(2) and (g)(3), do not apply to undefinitized orders for the purchase of initial spares.

(i) Ordering Activities. The following activities are authorized to issue orders hereunder:

The procuring and administrative contracting officers are responsible for the submission and accuracy of CARs. CARs are not required to be submitted to NAVSEA.

(j) Funds in the following amount are committed under this Basic Ordering Agreement for use by the Ordering Activity in obligating funds to pay for orders placed hereunder:

Although every effort will be made, the Government makes no guarantee that all questions will be answered.
