Section C - Description/Specifications/Statement of Work

STATEMENT OF WORK

Advanced Signatures Technologies Support Services

Naval Surface Warfare Center

Carderock Division

1.0 SCOPE

This Statement of Work (SOW) describes the application of new and emerging software technologies and their integration into existing systems-of-systems the Contractor must provide to support the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division (NSWCCD) Signature Measurement Technology and System Department, (Code 70), Advanced Signatures Training and Decision Systems Program. The Code 70 Advanced Signatures Training and Decision Systems Program provides software services and facilities to accomplish naval signatures tactical guidance, training, and synthetic simulation in support of current and future fleet projects funded by the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) and other Department of the Navy (DoN) and Department of Defense (DoD) sponsors.

1.1 BACKGROUND

The scope of services spans from advances in software standards and technologies for data processing, storage, simulation/generation, and visualization to new software capabilities being developed for Navy systems both afloat and ashore.

NSWCCD Code 70 requires services to support new and emerging software technologies related to "Big Data" processing and "Cloud Computing" to improve Navy system data processing architectures. Architectures allow use of various types of historical and recent intelligence data to support development of predictive data analytics for use in a variety of systems. These efforts require significant knowledge of new and emerging technologies related to "Big Data" processing and "Cloud Computing", Data Science, micro-services, virtualization, signal processing, Geospatial Information Systems, Navy systems, and Intelligence Community (IC) data standards, products, and processes. NSWCCD will establish and lead Integrated Product Teams (IPTs) to coordinate efforts across NSWCCD, prime contractors, and partnering organizations to support coordinated signatures guidance and trainer system development, integration, testing, and installations of the procured software and systems within the NSWCCD Engineering Development Models (EDMs) and Fleet and sponsor directed integration, training, testing, and analysis sites.

Code 70 provides signatures guidance to anti-submarine warfare (ASW) operators via increasingly complex software systems of systems subject to the rapidly expanding cybersecurity threat. Rapid development of new capabilities requires collaboration with existing NSWCCD Code 70 best practices and evolving industry standards regarding agile software development and Development, Security, and Operations ("DevSecOps"). Such practices/standards include coordination with Government engineers, contractor partners, and integrators via IPTs and software development sprints, software peer review, static code analysis, and the standardized tracking of artifacts and releases. The Advanced Signatures Technologies (AST) contract will support both classified and unclassified programs on multiple networks and security domains as outlined in the DD 254 "Department of Defense Contract Security Classification Specification".

INFORMATION SECURITY AND COMPUTER SYSTEM USAGE11.0

In accordance with U.S. Navy policy, any personnel, including the Contractor, who utilizes DoD-11.1 owned systems, shall assume responsibility for adherence to restrictions regarding internet and e-mail usage. Navy policy prohibits racist, sexist, threatening, pornographic, personal business, subversive or politically partisan communications. All personnel, including the Contractor, are accountable and must act accordingly.

11.2 DoD computer systems are monitored to ensure that the use is authorized, to facilitate protection against unauthorized access, and to verify security procedures, survivability and operational security.

During monitoring, information may be examined, recorded, copied, and used for authorized purposes.

All information, including personal information, placed on or sent over a DoD system may be monitored.

Use of a DoD system constitutes consent to monitoring. Unauthorized use may result in criminal prosecution. Evidence of unauthorized use collected during monitoring may be used as a basis for recommended administrative, criminal or adverse action.

12.0 PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICES (PEDs)

12.1 The Contractor shall comply with NAVSEAINST 2200.1A, CARDEROCKDIVINST 5239.6C, CARDEROCKDIVNOTE 5239 provided as attachments in Section J.

13.0 ELECTRONIC SPILLAGES

13.1 Electronic spillages (ES) are unacceptable and pose a risk to national security. An ES is defined as classified data placed on an information system (IS), media or hardcopy document possessing insufficient security controls to protect the data at the required classification level, thus posing a risk to national security (e.g., Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) onto collateral, Secret onto Unclassified). The Contractor's performance as it relates to ES will be evaluated by the Government. Electronic spillage reflects on the overall security posture of the Government and a lack of attention to detail with regard to the handling of classified information of IS security discipline. If a Contractor is determined to be responsible for an ES, all direct and indirect costs incurred by the Government for ES remediation will be charged to the Contractor. The incident will be reflected in the Contractor's performance rating.

13.2 NSWCCD command security will continue to be responsible for the corrective action plan in accordance with the security guidance reflected on the DD Form 254. Command security will identify the Contractor facility and contract number associated with all ES during the investigation indicating Contractor support. Command security will notify the contracts division with the Contractor facility name and contract number, incident specifics and associated costs for cleanup. The Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) will be responsible for working with the Contractor to capture the costs incurred during the spillage clean up. The Contractor is also responsible for taking Cybersecurity Awareness training annually via its Facility Security Officer (FSO) as part of the mandatory training requirements.
