1.1 SCOPE
This Statement of Work (SOW) sets forth the Contractor’s requirements to act as the software design agent for the existing Global Positioning System (GPS)-Based Positioning, Navigation, and Timing Service (GPNTS) system; perform development, integration and test of improvements; correct deficiencies; provide inputs for the control of the GPNTS software requirements and configuration baseline; prepare engineering drops; and prepare and test of formal software builds for the existing GPNTS software being installed on U.S. Navy ship and shore platforms. This common approach reduces the overall implementation, operational, system and hardware maintenance, training, and logistic costs to the Government.
All work to be performed under this SOW will be defined and implemented via the issuance of Task Orders (TOs) that will specify the type of effort, the level of effort, data requirements, funding authorization, and the period of performance.
Work shall maintain the performance of the existing system with respect to its applicable performance specification.
The Government plans to use the Rapid Integration and Test Environment (RITE) to control the GPNTS baseline. The RITE process provides comprehensive oversight of software development from initial design to customer acceptance. RITE provides a standard operating procedure and describes the agile method used for incremental capability development and integration employing Scrum. Scrum involves iterative development, continuous integration, frequent and early testing, and periodic product demonstrations within short, predefined durations. This facilitates smaller, modular products, allowing more rapid delivery and deployment of new capabilities while providing improved oversight and teaming through frequent planning and review meetings. RITE provides a standardized approach to software testing that requires the frequent use of automated testing tools at key development gates for early identification of software defects, and then validates the results through repeatable system integration events.
RITE also calls for establishment of a software repository for strong configuration control and sharing of program information, tools, and lessons learned across a distributed environment promoting a culture of open interfaces, modularity, and reuse to keep pace with evolving technologies. The RITE life cycle includes the implementation of front-end engineering, source code quality management, a distributed development environment, and automated development and test tools.
2.0 PERSONNEL QUALIFICATIONS
The personnel qualifications listed in Attachment 5 are required for all personnel performing on this contract. During performance, the Government reserves the right to require the Contractor to submit resumes for Government review/approval for personnel performing on this task (this includes the addition or substitution of personnel). Each resume must clearly demonstrate compliance with the personnel qualification requirements in Attachment 5 as it relates to the labor category for which they are being proposed. Upon review, the Government, either the Contract Officer’s Representative (COR) or the Contracting Officer, will inform the Contractor as to the acceptability of the proposed individual(s) as it relates to the Attachment 5 requirements. Please note, the Government, either the COR or the Contracting Officer, reserves the right, at its discretion, to waive required personnel qualifications on a case by case basis when in the best interest of the Government.
2.1 KEY PERSONNEL
(a) The contractor agrees to assign to this contract those key personnel listed in paragraph (d) below. No substitutions shall be made except in accordance with this text.
(b) The offeror agrees that during the first (to be determined at task order level) days of the contract performance period no personnel substitutions will be permitted unless such substitutions are necessitated by an individual's sudden illness, death or termination of employment. In any of these events, the contractor shall promptly notify the Contracting Officer and provide the information required by paragraph (c) below. After the initial (to be determined at task order level) day period, all proposed substitutions must be submitted in writing, at least fifteen (15) days (thirty (30) days if a security clearance is to be obtained) in advance of the proposed substitutions to the contracting officer. These substitution requests shall provide the information required by paragraph (c) below.
(c) All requests for approval of substitutions under this contract must be in writing and provide a detailed explanation of the circumstances necessitating the proposed substitutions. They must contain a complete resume for the proposed substitute or addition, and any other information requested by the Contracting Officer or needed by him to approve or disapprove the proposed substitutions. All substitutions proposed during the duration of this contract must have qualifications of the person being replaced. The Contracting Officer or his authorized representative will evaluate such requests and promptly notify the contractor of his approval or disapproval thereof in writing.
(d) List of Key Personnel (to be determined at task order level)
(e) If the Contracting Officer determines that suitable and timely replacement of key personnel who have been reassigned, terminated or have otherwise become unavailable for the contract work is not reasonably forthcoming or that the resultant reduction of productive effort would be so substantial as to impair the successful completion of the contract or the service order, the contract may be terminated by the Contracting Officer for default or for the convenience of the Government, as appropriate. In addition, if the Contractor is found at fault for the condition, the
Contracting Officer may elect to equitably decrease the contract price or fixed fee to compensate the Government for any resultant delay, loss or damage.
(f) If the offeror wishes to add personnel to be used in a labor category he shall employ the procedures outlined in paragraph (c) above.

A007 – Integrated Program Management Report (IPMR)
3.1.1.7 Integrated Program Management System
The Contractor will establish, maintain, and use in the performance of this portion of the contract, an integrated performance management system. Central to this integrated system will be an Earned Value Management System (EVMS) in accordance with DFARS 252.242-7001 and DFARS 252.242-7002 Earned Value Management System (DEVIATION) (SEP 2015) and the Guidelines for an EVMS contained in EIA-748. In compliance with DFARS 252.242-7001 and 252.242-7002 Earned Value Management System (DEVIATION) (SEP 15), the Contractor will have an EVMS complying with EIA-748; however, the Government will not formally validate/accept the Contractor's management system unless the contract value including all known options is greater than or equal to $100M. While no validation is required below $100M, the Government will observe compliance during the course of the contract through the PMO assessment of the content, validity and the timeliness of the reports; For applicable CLINs valued over $100M, Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) EVMS validation is mandatory.
EVM will be applied to the individual task orders or group of related task orders in accordance with the requirements referenced in DoDI 5000.02, EVM requirements.
To establish the integrated performance management system, the EVMS will be linked to and supported by the Contractor's management processes and systems to include the IMS, Contract Work Breakdown Structure (CWBS), change management, material management, procurement, cost estimating, and accounting, as well as Agile processes if implemented on the contract.
The correlation and integration of these systems and processes will provide for early indication of cost and schedule problems, and their relation to technical achievement. Formal risk management will also be an integral part of the Contractor’s integrated performance management system and Integrated Program Management (IPMR) deliverables. Outputs of the integrated performance management system will be used as the single basis for timely, reliable, and auditable reporting of performance information in CDRLs, PMR and the data contained in the Contractor’s Progress, Status Management Report (CPSMR). Updates to the IMS will be reported as part of the schedule analysis section in IPMR Format 5 for the IPMR CDRL.
The Contractor's EVMS will be maintained in accordance with EIA-748, current version guidelines and requirements, DFARS Clause 252.234-7002 Earned Value Management System (DEVIATION) (SEP 15), and the Contractor's own documented EVMS Description. If the Government determines from Integrated Baseline Review (IBR) results, Joint Surveillance with the DCMA (if applicable), or quality assessments of cost and schedule data delivered in the IPMR, that EVMS deficiencies exist, the Government may perform a Compliance Review of the Contractor's EVMS.
3.1.1.8 Integrated Program Management Report (IPMR)
The Contractor will provide monthly IPMR detailing the integrated cost and schedule status of work progress on the contract in accordance with the IPMR CDRL. Written Government approval will be required before implementing any formal re-baseline of the Performance Measurement Baseline (PMB). The Government reserves the right to adjust the reporting levels and thresholds throughout the lifecycle of the program. DI-MGMT-81861A contains the content of each of the formats. And Block 16 of the IPMR CDRL further defines requirements. The IPMR formats are briefly described as follows:
• Format 1 (Mandatory) (DD Form 2734/1), WBS, defines cost and schedule performance data by product-oriented Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) comprising the hardware, software, and services the Government is buying.
• Format 2 (Optional for contract values less than $50M. Mandatory for contract values equal to/greater than $50M in then-year dollars) (DD Form 2734/2), OBS, defines organizational cost and schedule performance data rather than by individual CWBS elements. It also identifies each major subcontractor and material purchases.
• Format 3 (Optional for contract values less than $50M. Mandatory for contract values equal to/greater than $50M in then-year dollars), (DD Form 2734/3), Baseline, defines changes to the PMB which performance is measured.
• Format 4 (Optional for contract values less than $50M. Mandatory for contract values equal to/greater than $50M in then-year dollars), defines staffing forecasts for the Most Likely EAC by the same organizational categories as defined in Format 2.
• Format 5 (Mandatory) (DD Form 2734/5), Explanations and Problem Analyses, is a narrative report used to provide the required analysis of data contained in Formats 1and 3and to explain significant cost and schedule variances and other identified contract problems and topics. The report will address, at a minimum the cause(s), impact(s), and corrective action(s) of reporting elements exceeding thresholds.
• Format 6 (Mandatory) (DD Form 2734/5), IMS defines and contains the Contractor’s IMS with the Contractor’s integrated network, significant external interfaces, Government furnished equipment/information/property and relationship dependencies for the entire contractual effort.
• Format 7 (Mandatory) (DD Form 2734/5), Electronic History and Forecast File, defines the time-phased historical & forecast cost information in the DoD-approved electronic XML format, by WBS.
3.1.1.9 Integrated Baseline Review (IBR)
The Contractor will engage jointly with the Government's PM and technical staff in conducting IBRs focused on evaluating the realism and inherent risks in the Contractor's integrated PMB plan. The Contractor will present the contents and underlying/supporting assumptions of its initial PMB to Government representatives via an IBR to be held at the Contractor's facilities. At the discretion of the Government, subsequent IBRs will be conducted, as needed. At the contract PAC, the initial IBR event will be discussed to establish the soonest feasible date (e.g., as soon as the PMB is established and documented) but no later than 180 calendar days after contract award. However, in situations where the entire work scope is not known in the 180 days, the IBR will be conducted in stages, such as with an Undefinitized Contract Action (UCA). A review of the known work scope should be conducted within the 180-day window with follow-up IBRs scheduled at a later time for the work not yet completed in the context of the entire performance measurement baseline. As a rule of thumb, the initial IBR should run through the first major milestone for the program.
Each IBR will verify the Contractor has established and has maintained a reliable PMB that includes the entire contract scope of work; is consistent with contract cost targets and schedule requirements; has adequate resources assigned; and uses effective Earned Value (EV) techniques/methods to accurately reflect technical achievement/progress. Each IBR will record any indications that effective EVM is not being used. The scope of any subsequent IBRs will be tailored to the nature of the event, activity or work effort and the IBR will be conducted within a reasonable time after the occurrence of the program event. The Contractor will flow-down IBR requirements to those Subcontractors who meet the applicable thresholds for EVM reporting.
The Government may participate in Subcontractor IBR’s.
During contract performance, the Contractor will provide ongoing access to its records and data that underlie and support the PMB and cost and schedule data reported. The Contractor will provide IBR planning, documentation, artifacts, and close out activities as specified in the IBR
CDRL.
IBR entrance and exit criteria will include, at a minimum:
Entrance Criteria
• A plan for the integrated baseline has been established.
• The IBR conference location has been determined.
• An agenda has been formulated, accepted, and sent to all participants prior to the review.
• Advance IBR planning documentation and artifacts have been submitted in accordance with the IBR CDRL requirements.
• The Government APM/PM/COR and the Government EVMS representative have determined the Contractor is ready for the IBR based on comprehensive review of IBR artifacts.
Exit Criteria:
• All artifact concerns have been identified, and closure plans have been developed.
• Action items have been included in the risk management plan and mitigation strategies are in place.
• The PMB reflects the scope of contracted work and determines the PMB is achievable.
• Close-out activities and documentation of action items into the program’s tracking tool, and action item closure has been completed.
A008 – Integrated Baseline Review (IBR)
3.1.1.10 Integrated Subcontract Management
The Contractor will flow down the contractual reporting requirements to Subcontractors meeting the applicable thresholds (e.g. exceeding $20 million in then-year dollars). EVMS flow down to Subcontractor cost or incentive contracts of less than $20 million in then-year dollars, or to Firm Fixed Price subcontracts is a risk-based decision to be mutually agreed on between the prime Contractor and the COR prior to award. Any Subcontractor with a contract flow down requirement for EVM will also be included in the IBR. A separate IBR may be conducted at the Subcontractor’s facility, in which case the prime Contractor will take the lead in conducting the IBR, with Government participation. Alternatively, the Subcontractor may participate as part of the prime contract IBR. On subcontracts where EVM and IMS requirements are not flowed down, subcontracted scope and performance information will be incorporated/integrated into and reported in cycle with the Prime’s reporting via the Contractor's integrated performance management system and EVMS. The Contractor is responsible for reviewing and assuring the validity of all Subcontractors’ EVM reporting through surveillance and other means. It may be necessary to conduct IBRs even with Subcontractors who do not meet the dollar value threshold because of the risk inherent in their work, criticality of their performance to the total program, or percent of the total work share. Exceptions will be mutually agreed upon by the Contractor and the Government.
3.1.1.11 Schedule Risk Assessment (SRA)
The Contractor will conduct Schedule Risk Assessments (SRAs) in accordance with DI-MGMT- 81861A and the tailoring instructions provided in the Integrated Program Management Report CDRL. SRAs will be incorporated into the Contractor’s program risk management process and be produced from the Contractor’s schedule analysis tool. The Government may elect to participate in the SRA process. Any anticipated/ expected Government support will be identified at the contract PAC, or similar post award meeting, along with the anticipated Government response times, to avoid schedule disruption/delays. Block 16 of the IPMR CDRL, will define all required deliveries during program execution as well as the IBR. The results from the SRA will be submitted as attachments to the IPMR Format 5. SRA’s will also be required should the following situations occur on the program:
• Over Target Baseline (OTB)/ Over Target Schedule (OTS): An SRA will be submitted along with the request to initiate an OTB or OTS.
• Re-baseline or Single Point Adjustment. An SRA will be submitted before implementing a significant cost and schedule reset.
3.1.1.12 Over Target Baseline (OTB)/Over Target Schedule (OTS) Approval
The Contractor will implement an OTB/OTS if the PMB is no longer adequate to provide performance measurement information relative to the remaining work using the principles of
EVM and where improved control of the project would result. To prevent unnecessary and uncontrollable changes to the baseline, the Contractor will not implement an OTB/OTS without formal approval from the PCO. The Contractor will submit a formal request to the PCO requesting permission to implement an OTB and or OTS. The request will include a detailed plan and schedule for implementing the OTB/OTS that includes the ground rules, assumptions, remaining work scope impacted, variance adjustment plans and justifications, potential reporting changes/suspensions, documentation recommendations, and planned dates for implementation.
The Contractor will also identify EVMS discipline problems that contributed to rendering the current work plan unrealistic and provide plans/corrective actions that will prevent these problems from reoccurring. Following implementation of any Government approved OTB/OTS, an IBR will be conducted and IPMR variance thresholds specified in the CDRL may be reevaluated to ensure continued visibility into significant cost and schedule variances.
3.1.1.13 Contract Funds Status Report (CFSR)
The Contractor will develop a quarterly CFSR in accordance with DI-MGMT-81468, to include tailoring instructions provided in the CFSR CDRL. The CFSR will be used by the Contractor and the Government to update and forecast contract funds requirements; to plan and communicate funding changes; to develop funding requirements for approved efforts; to determine funds in excess of contract needs and available for de-obligation; and to obtain rough estimates of termination liability and open commitment costs. The Contractor will present the data in accordance with Government fiscal year.
The Contractor will provide a reconciliation from the IPMR data to the CFSR as an attachment to IPMR Format 5 in the months when a CFSR is due.
The notes section of the CFSR will contain the information below. The information will be complete and not limited to the space on the CDRL form. Use additional page(s) as necessary to explain:
• The elements which formulate the open commitments
• The elements contained in termination liability
• Changes to the total contract funding as well as changes to the time phasing of funding as it relates to Government fiscal years
• The fee structure used to formulate the funding stream (particularly important for contracts with cost or schedule incentives using share ratios).
