SOTS Stewie and Graphics PWS (2).pdf

Stewards of the Sea (SOTS) Public Outreach Performance Work Statement

1. Scope: U.S. Fleet Forces Command (USFF) requires that the project identified in this statement of work be non-severable. This issue requires immediate action in order to provide equipment and materials for Stewards of the Sea

(SOTS) public outreach related to at-sea training and testing. The U.S. Navy’s SOTS program was initialized in

2013 to help combat misinformation regarding the Navy’s environmental impacts during at-sea training and testing.

The SOTS branding is utilized to give the general public information on the Navy’s environmental messaging concerning at-sea training and testing activities. Providing the public with this valuable information assists in less issues during the permitting process for the training and testing activities.

2. Stewie Mascot Costume Design Specifications: Stewie is the Navy’s environmental mascot and is a representation of a (green) sea turtle with the globe displayed on his back shell. The design for replacement STEWIE mascot outfits requires development and two new exterior suites need to be purchased.

3. Graphics Design and Materials Requirements: The graphics design and purchasing of the equipment and materials will be utilized by USFF N4651 staff for events until those items have reached their end-of-life cycle, are no longer serviceable due to wear and tear, or inventories are depleted.

a. Task 1. Create graphic layout for and purchase two retractable informational rollup graphics.

i. The first task will be for replacing SOTS display portable retractable banners. The final layout and information should be done in accordance with the SOTS branding guide, utilizing the SOTS brand, and look similar to the current versions of these items. The information to be used on the graphics can be viewed on the provided photo titled

“SOTS_Retractables(2019v)_PWP_MarineLifeProtect.jpg”. Information for elements to be used on the graphic is as follows:

The Marine Mammal of the U.S. East Coast and Gulf of Mexico handout sheets, now referred to as Marine

Mammal Identification (MMIDs) guides of the East Coast and Gulf of America, were originally created and purchased through NAVFACLANT, and have been utilized to create additional MMIDs specifically tailored for the Pacific Fleet’s area of responsibility. Due to the recent name change of the geographical area formally known as the Gulf of Mexico the MMIDs has been updated, changing the title verbiage from

Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America.

These sheets are very popular and need to be purchased in a large quantity for the SOTS inventory to support the FY26 SOTS scheduled events, which are a part of the U.S. Navy and Nation’s 250th anniversary celebration events. The requirements for purchasing these items is a follows:
