STATEMENT OF WORK

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT/STATEMENT OF WORK

FOR AEGIS RADIO COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

1.0 Scope.

As the organic Lead Systems Integrator® (oLSI®) for the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD), Webster Outlying Field (WOLF) operates under a product-based business model whereby NAWCAD WOLF civilians lead and manage the execution of the requirements with combined Government-Industry teams. Using this oLSI® approach, the Government maintains control of intellectual property and data rights, enabling WOLF to rapidly adapt solutions to the dynamic needs of the warfighter.

The NAWCAD WOLF Ship & Air Integrated Warfare (SAIW) Division is the oLSI® providing design, procurement, integration, testing, and training of Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (C4I) electronic systems that meet the requirements of the United States Navy operating forces. The SAIW Division, operating under the oLSI® model, has requirements to design, procure, integrate, test, train, deliver and support C4I electronic Radio Communication Systems (RCSs) for ships of the United States Navy including AEGIS destroyers and cruisers, amphibious assault ships, aircraft carriers, sea-lift ships, and other surface combatant and comparable ships. This Performance Work Statement (PWS)/Statement of Work (SOW) provides the engineering, technical, logistics, integration, training, and testing support services to deliver fully-integrated and tested C4I electronic radio communication systems for shipboard installation.

3.1.2.1.1 Government Site Requirements. Government site includes NAWCAD WOLF St.

Inigoes, MD. Contractors performing on-site support will be provided access to workspaces, telephones, printers, copy machines, shredders, computers, and network access including web servers and applicable databases or other applications necessary to carry out assigned tasks.

3.1.2.1.1.1 Integration Facilities. The Government will provide integration facilities at the System’s Integration Lab (SIL). The SIL is a group of Government-owned integration and test facilities located at NAWCAD WOLF St. Inigoes, MD. The facility is jointly occupied by Government and contractor personnel currently performing RCS integration production services.

The facility contains offices, a shop area, a Communications Security Materiel System (CSMS) vault, loading docks, receiving/staging area, and test beds. The Contractor shall share the shop and receiving/staging areas with other contractors.

3.1.2.1.1.2 Test Beds. The Government will provide test bed facilities, which are equipped and furnished for RCS integration and for Stages 3, 4, 6, and 7 testing. A Government-supplied test bed will be assigned to the Contractor for integration and testing of each RCS.

As part of this requirement, the Contractor shall also provide meeting support at locations within 10 driving miles of the shipbuilder(s) facilities located in Bath, Maine, and Pascagoula, MS.

3.1.2.3 Telework/Remote Work.

The Contractor may allow contractor employees to telework and/or work remotely in accordance with (IAW) the information in section 3.4. The Contractor may utilize alternate worksites/locations to telework and/or work from a remote location to support continued performance of PWS/SOW tasks IAW company policy. When using telework and/or remote work, the Contractor remains responsible for contract performance and compliance with any applicable cost accounting standards and contract cost principles/procedures.

Telework is defined as an alternative workplace arrangement under which a position performs the duties and responsibilities of the assigned position and other authorized activities from an approved alternative worksite but is required to report to the agency’s worksite on a regular and recurring basis. Telework can be either routine or situational. Routine telework is performed from an alternative worksite on regularly scheduled telework day(s), whereas situational telework is authorized on a case-by-case basis as the need arises or when opting for unscheduled telework and may be authorized for routine teleworkers in such circumstances on regularly scheduled in-office days.

Telework eligible positions require routine on-site performance of at least two days per week.

On-site performance may be required outside of routine on-site performance days, and shall be provided when requested by the COR.

Remote work is an alternative work arrangement that allows for a position to perform official duties at an approved alternative worksite away from an agency worksite, without regularly returning to the agency worksite during each pay period. Remote work can be either local or distant.

Local remote work is defined as a position that does not require regular and recurring on-site performance but includes enough required on-site performance that the position is required to be staffed within 50 drivable miles of NAWCAD WOLF, St. Inigoes, MD.

Distant remote work is defined as a position that does not require regular and recurring on-site performance and is not required to be staffed within 50 drivable miles of NAWCAD WOLF, St.

Inigoes, MD but shall be staffed within the United States.

In the event that telework tools become unavailable while working off-site, the Contractor shall require positions defined as telework and local remote work to report on-site in order to access the tools required for performance of this Contract.

At any time during contract performance, the COR may determine that a position is no longer eligible for telework and/or local remote work by providing a notice 30 calendar days in advance and/or for distant remote telework positions by providing a notice 90 calendar days in advance so the Contractor can address changes needed to support mission requirements.
