PERFORMANCE BASED STATEMENT OF WORK

FOR ENGINEERING AND TECHNICAL SERVICES TO SUPPORT

THE INTEGRATED COMMUNICATIONS AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS

RADIO COMMUNICATIONS FOR U.S. NAVY SHIPS

1.0 BACKGROUND. The development and acquisition of U.S. Naval vessels are under the control and direction of Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA). The design, procurement, integration, testing, and training of Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (C4I) electronic systems that meet the requirements of the Navy operating forces are the responsibility of the Program Executive Office for C4I (PEO C4I). In support of the Program Executive Office for Ships (PEO Ships), NAVSEA, PEO C4I, and the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) are tasked to design, procure, integrate, test, train, deliver and support C4I electronic Radio Communication Systems (RCSs) for ships of the U.S. Navy including, but not limited to, AEGIS destroyers and cruisers, amphibious assault ships, aircraft carriers, sea-lift ships, and other surface combatant and comparable ships. NAWCAD is tasked to perform engineering, technical and logistics support services to deliver fully integrated and tested C4I electronic radio communication systems for shipboard installation.

2.0 SCOPE. This contract provides for support to the Integrated Communications and Information Systems (ICIS) Division (Code 4.5.10) of NAWCAD in the design, integration, testing, installation, training, and certification of shipboard C4I electronic communication systems; the design, integration, testing, installation, training, and certification of like systems at shore sites associated with the deployment of fleet support to surface ships; and the design, integration, testing, installation, training, and certification of mobile and airborne C4I electronic communication systems designed to interface with the C4I electronic architecture of surface ships. Receipt, inspection, integration, and testing of the equipment will normally take place at the System’s Integration Lab (SIL), NAWCAD, St. Inigoes, Maryland but may occur at the contractor's facility or at other Government facilities.

Depending on the shipboard C4I electronic communication systems requirements the contractor will prepare the fully integrated and tested C4I electronic RCS for shipment to a designated shipbuilder and subsequent installation on board the ship as Government furnished equipment (GFE). The contractor shall provide support to the shipbuilder until Ship’s Custody Transfer (SCT). Post-installation and on-the-job training (OJT) for the ship’s crew after SCT are also provided under the terms of this contract. Initial work will support the RCS for one AEGIS destroyer or comparable ship. Options are included for services to support an additional 11 Navy surface combatants or comparable ships. The services detailed in the Requirements Section (4.0) can be applied to any Navy surface combatant or comparable ships and associated shipboard communication system.

3.0 ACRONYMS AND APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS. Acronyms used throughout the Performance Based Statement of Work (PBSOW) are provided as Attachment (1) under Section J – Exhibits and Attachments. The contractor is required to interface extensively with the shipbuilder. The shipbuilder is contractually obligated to adhere to specific standards and specifications during contract performance. With certain exceptions, the contractor for this effort shall conform to the same standards and specifications as the shipbuilder.

3.1 Unless otherwise noted, the revision level and date for each document, specification or standard cited within this solicitation/contract (including any specifications or standards cited in any drawing, handbook, or referenced specification or standard cited within this solicitation) shall be that listed on the Department of Defense ASSIST Database (http://assist.daps.dla.mil/quicksearch/ ) in effect on the date of contract award.
