PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)/STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)

1.0 INTRODUCTION. The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) Special Communications Mission Solutions (SCMS) Division (AD-4.11.4), located at St. Inigoes, MD, integrates and delivers products for Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Combat Systems, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) systems. SCMS has provided engineering, integration and technical C5ISR support to Special Operations Forces (SOF) for over 30 years, acting as the organic Lead System Integrator for a portfolio of high visibility programs for United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) customers, Component Commands and the SOF user community. SCMS has technical authority over a number of C5ISR capabilities, including SOF Unique systems comprising of craft, vehicular, transit case, base station, tactical communications and command center systems. These critical SOF products are funded by a broad range of customers, including USSOCOM, SOF Component Commands, Department of Defense (DoD), and other DoD and non-DoD agencies. Meeting SOF unique C5ISR requirements includes having insight into emerging technologies and service common components and systems, as well as combining best value design and integration that is flexible with both Commercial off the Shelf (COTS) and Government off the Shelf (GOTS) equipment. SCMS supports the transition of SOF Unique Capabilities to the DoD services to facilitate USSOCOM’s goal of leveraging Service Common equipment while focusing SOF resources on SOF Unique requirements and capabilities. To complete these SOF requirements, the SCMS Division maintains a workforce that possesses subject matter expertise in a broad range of technical and programmatic disciplines. The SCMS designated Government Project Lead (GPL) will be responsible for Project Management and Systems Engineering aspects of the project and selects and leads the Integrated Project Team (IPT) for project completion. The GPL will utilize this contract to obtain the SOF Unique C5ISR specific support services, products, and deliverables needed to complete each assigned project.

1.1 Scope. The contractor shall provide system engineering services to the SCMS Division to perform tasks in support of assigned SOF C5ISR projects including: requirements definition; solution definition; integration, installation verification and validation; and operation and sustainment. Assigned efforts may involve the integration and installation of new C5ISR systems or equipment; the upgrade or modernization of existing systems or equipment; and the use of legacy, current, and emerging C5ISR technologies to meet SOF Unique tactical requirements. Tasking will span the entire systems engineering life-cycle or some portion thereof; however, due to the rapid nature of SCMS projects, tailoring of the systems engineering process will typically be required. SOF Unique C5ISR systems supported by this contract can range from stand-alone systems up to global, integrated communication solutions that combine satellite and terrestrial networks supporting converged voice, video, and data, taking various forms including dismounted portable, mobile, and fixed-site applications. While contract performance will take place primarily at Continental United States (CONUS) locations, completion of some task orders will require travel to Outside Continental United States (OCONUS) locations.

The documentation shall include project objectives, anticipated equipment and services, staffing plan, resource loaded WBS, and a POA&M as defined in the resulting task orders.

3.5.2 Conduct IV&V plans and procedures, to include equipment inspection, specialized performance verification (such as EMI/EMC, interoperability, environmental), and full modified system verification. Prepare quick lock and final IV&V reports that include data, results, conclusions, deficiencies, and recommendations. Schedule IV&V event and coordinate resources.

3.5.3 Prepare and deliver quick-look and full reports. Support preparation of the IV&V document.

3.6 Combat Evaluation and Combat Validation (CV). (CLINs 0001, 0002, 0003, 0004, 0006, 0007, 0008, 0009, 0010, 0011, 0013, 0014). Provide CV support to include the planning, execution, monitoring, and reporting of CV events. A CV is an assessment event that involves operational testing of an item or system by the end users. The results support a Combat Validation Decision Directive (CVDD) that influences the procurement decision. (CDRLs A001, A002, A003, A004, A007, A009, A010, and A011). Contractor shall:

3.6.1 Provide CV event planning, which may include: Prepare CV planning documents to define event objectives, including a resource loaded WBS; define system configurations; coordinate material acquisition; coordinate manpower, CV location, and resources; assist in certifications and approvals (e.g. spectrum, information assurance, air-worthiness); create user assessment forms/surveys; verify equipment/system operation prior to CV event.

3.6.2 Support the CV event, which may include: train users on systems being evaluated; configure equipment; coordinate execution of mission scenarios; support users/military operators during CV event; adapt and adjust CV plan to meet event objectives; record performance data during CV event; distribute user assessment forms/surveys and collect feedback.
