B.1 Streamlined Ordering Procedures for Cost Plus Fixed Fee LOE orders.

LOE TOs will be issued under this contract using the following streamlined ordering procedures:

(1) For each proposed order, the contracting officer will provide the contractor with a 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-2 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.

The composite rates below are exclusive of fixed fee.

(3) After receiving the TO and IGCE, the contractor will respond as follows:

(i) If the contractor agrees that it can perform the TO within the parameters of the IGCE, they will sign and return the DD1155 to the contracting officer within three (3) working days. If the requirement remains valid, a priced order will be issued to the contractor.

STATEMENT OF WORK

SPECIAL COMMUNICATION RAPID INTEGRATION FACILITY

1.0 Scope.

The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) Webster Outlying Field (WOLF) Special Communications Mission Solutions (SCMS) Division integrates and delivers products for Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Combat Systems, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) systems. SCMS leverages the government owned Special Communication Rapid Integration Facility (SCRIF) to provide rapid integration for C5ISR systems on board small and large craft, commercial and militarized vehicles, transit cases, mobile communications, fixed base stations, command centers, and intelligence systems. SCMS Division must quickly respond to urgent mission-essential user requirements to ensure that forward-deployed units are combat ready. These C5ISR products are funded by a broad range of customers including the U. S Navy, Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM), National Guard Bureau, Marine Corps System Command, Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), Consequence Management Communication Systems, and other Department of Defense (DoD) and non-DoD agencies. The SCMS Division will utilize this Contract to obtain the specific technical and production expertise required at the SCRIF to meet requirements needed to complete each assigned project.

This Statement of Work (SOW) scope includes SCRIF integration and installation support for the production engineering, assimilation/kitting, verification, logistics support, in-service support, and program planning of C5ISR systems, subsystems, and equipment. Examples of widely-varied C5ISR platforms that the Contractor will be required to support include, but are not limited to:

· Navy Aircrafts (e.g. E-6, P-3, P-8, T-45, F-18);

· Family of Special Operations Vehicles (FOSOV);

· Mobile Command Centers;

· Transit Cases-Radio Integration Systems (RIS).

Normal working hours are usually eight and a half (8.5) hours (including a thirty-minute lunch break), from 0730 to 1600 each Monday through Friday (except on the Federal holidays specified in paragraph 3.1.4.1.2) with the flexibility to start as early as 0600 and end as late as 1800, Monday through Friday.

3.1.4.1.1 CWS is an alternative work schedule to the traditional five (5) eight and a half (8.5) hour workdays (which includes a thirty-minute lunch break) worked per week. Under a CWS schedule, an employee completes the following schedule within a two (2) week period of time: eight (8) weekdays are worked at nine and a half (9.5) hours each (which includes a thirty-minute lunch break), one weekday is alternately worked as eight and a half (8.5) hours (which includes a thirty-minute lunch break) and one (1) weekday is not worked by the employee. The result is eighty (80) hours worked every two (2) weeks, with forty-four (44) work hours one (1) week and thirty-six (36) work hours the other.

The Contractor may allow its employees to work a CWS schedule provided the requirements of the SOW are met. If the Contractor chooses to allow its employees to work a CWS schedule in support of this Contract, any additional costs associated with the implementation of the CWS schedule vice the standard schedule are unallowable costs under this Contract and will not be reimbursed by the Government. Additionally, the CWS schedule shall not prevent Contractor employees from providing necessary staffing and services coverage when required by the Government to the COR/Alternate COR (ACOR). The overall schedule must be provided to the COR as an informal deliverable.

3.1.4.1.3 Installation closure. When federal facilities are closed by the Government, or when federal employees are officially excused from work due to a holiday or a special event, severe weather, a security threat, or any other Government facility related problem that prevents federal personnel from working at the Government facility, Contractor personnel assigned to work at that facility performing non-mission essential work in support of such federal employees shall follow their parent company’s policies.

While generally Contractor personnel may not perform work on-site at a Government facility without oversight from federal personnel, in very limited circumstances, work being performed by contractor personnel may be deemed mission essential and performance of such mission essential work may be authorized to continue at the Government facility despite the facility being otherwise closed for normal operations. The circumstances permitting work being performed by Contractor personnel to be deemed mission essential are extremely limited and generally only apply to performance of efforts related to public health, safety, or matters related to national security. The cognizant COR/Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) must concur with any determination that work being performed by Contractor personnel is mission essential.
