PEFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

AIR COMBAT ENVIRONMENT TEST AND EVALUATION FACILITY (ACETEF)

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The Integrated Battlespace Simulation and Test (IBST) Department is the Naval Air Systems Command's (NAVAIR) center of excellence and point–of–entry for modeling and simulation of the battlespace environment. The Department is the NAVAIR lead for the development and creation of synthetic and virtual battle space environments in support of research, development, testing, training, systems evaluation and experimentation. Functions include studying and identifying Electromagnetic Environmental Effects (E3), assessments of the entire kill–chain, from target identification, to target engagement, including damage assessment and indication. IBST has the unique ability to reduce program risk by creating complex battle space environments where concepts, hardware and war fighters can be immersed into the missions of today and of the future. This capability is often referred to as the Air Combat Environment Test and Evaluation Facility (ACETEF). ACETEF performs and supports full spectrum RDT&E of highly integrated /adaptive aircraft, weapon, ground and distributed systems through the application of secure and controlled engineering processes and by the use of a suite of fully integrated simulation/stimulation laboratories. The ACETEF capability is identified as a Major Range Test Facility Base (MRTFB) asset and so is required to support all Department of Defense (DoD) RDT&E. The integrated assets, distributed capability and the synthetic battlespace are powerful tools that support RDT&E across all phases of systems acquisition.

2.0 SCOPE

This ID/IQ contract vehicle will permit specific task orders to be issued, based on the general tasking outlined in Section 4.0. The ACETEF capability utilizes Integrated Product Teams and Enterprise Teams for all aspects of performance, and the contractor shall be required to work in a highly integrated team environment. Tasking addresses the management, design, fabrication, development, installation, integration, upgrade, analysis, documentation, operation, and maintenance of all associated ACETEF laboratories, facilities and projects.

2.1 Applicable Documents

Some of the applicable documents for this effort include, but are not limited to, the following:

· 5.4 IBST Department Security Standard Operating Procedures (SOP)

Most tasking is expected to take place at IBST Department facilities which are currently located at the Naval Air Warfare Centers (NAWC) in Patuxent River, MD, China Lake, CA, and Point Mugu, CA. Additional tasking may be required at other Navy and DoD facilities, both in the continental United States (CONUS) and outside the continental United States (OCONUS). Normal workdays are Monday through Friday except US Federal Holidays. Workers typically work 8 hours per day (30-minute lunch break not included), 40 hours per week. Core hours of work are from 0730 to 1600 daily. All employees are available during core hours. Some supported Government offices have flexibility to start as early as 0600/0630 and end as late as 1800 Monday - Friday.

A "Compressed Work Schedule" (CWS) allows Government Employees to voluntarily work an alternative work schedule to the traditional five 8.5-hour workdays (which includes a 30-minute lunch) worked per week. Under a CWS schedule, an employee completes the following schedule within a two-week period: the employee works eight weekdays at 9.5 hours each (which includes a 30-minute lunch), one weekday at 8.5 hours (which includes a 30-minute lunch) and does not work one weekday. The result is 80 hours worked every two weeks, with 44 work hours one week and 36 work hours the other.

Any Contractor that chooses to allow its employees to work a CWS schedule in support of this contract agrees that any additional costs associated with the implementation of the CWS schedule vice the standard schedule are unallowable costs under this contract and the Government will not reimburse these costs. Furthermore, all Contractors shall comply with the requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act and particularly with Section 7 regarding compensatory overtime. Additionally, the CWS schedule shall not prevent Contractor employees from providing necessary staffing and services coverage when required by the Government facility.

9.1 The following is a list of federal Government holidays. However, it is solely at the contractor’s discretion, which federal and state holidays they choose to observe.

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HOLIDAYS

9.2 RESTRICTED ENTRY TO WORKPLACE. When Federal employees are 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 personnel from working, on-site Contractor personnel regularly assigned to work at that facility in support of such personnel shall not direct charge to the contract for time off, but shall follow parent company policies regarding taking leave (administrative or other). Non-essential Contractor personnel, who are not required to remain at or report to the facility, shall follow their parent company policy regarding whether they should stay home, or report to another company facility. Subsequent to an early dismissal and during periods of inclement weather, on-site Contractors should monitor radio and television announcements before departing for work to determine if the facility is closed or operating on a delayed arrival basis.
