1 Scope
1.1 Services
The contractor shall provide technical support services to support the Air Vehicle Modification and Instrumentation (AVMI) Test and Evaluation and Instrumentation efforts described in this Statement of Work (SOW). The primary focus of this statement of work is the provision of technical services to meet the staffing demands of the AVMI technical shops and instrumentation installation teams. AVMI has a fairly consistent workload of test programs, modification efforts, and instrumentation work that demands a standing support team of engineers and technicians in order to meet critical flight test schedules and test milestones for the Program Managers Air (PMAs) that make up the core of the workload demand. The Government has made the choice to assume the risk of future test program fluctuations, which is better suited for a cost type contract rather than a fixed price effort.
1.2 Instrumentation
The Air Vehicle Modification and Instrumentation (AVMI) Department within Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) designs, develops, procures, builds, installs, tests and evaluates, calibrates, modifies, operates and maintains instrumentation on aircraft and uninstalled engines for the Navy and other Government, commercial and foreign Government customers. AVMI is the lead for developing future network-based instrumentation data acquisition systems and provides technical consultation to NAVAIR, Department of Defense (DoD) and other Government agencies. AVMI performs engineering design, technology investigations, and responsive development to support Research Development Test & Evaluation (RDT&E) and fleet requirements for instrumentation.
1.3 Modifications
AVMI is responsible for performing electrical and mechanical modifications to test vehicles to support test and evaluation. A major aspect of this responsibility is the design, development, procurement, fabrication, installation, test, evaluation, configuration, operation and maintenance of special flight test instrumentation for flight test aircraft, weapons under test, and aircraft engines undergoing uninstalled tests.
1.4 Organization
The AVMI organization falls under Naval Air Warfare Center (NAWC). AVMI is a national organization with part of the workforce falling under the NAWC Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) in the East and part of the workforce falling under the NAWC Weapons Division (NAWCWD) in the West. AVMI covers two lower-level divisions: Aircraft Instrumentation Division (AID) Code 5.2.9 (NAWCAD), and Airborne Instrumentation Systems Division (AISD) Code 5.2.J (NAWCWD).
AID Division Overview (PAX) The Aircraft Instrumentation Division (AID), located at Patuxent River MD, is a principle center of expertise in the development, installation, test, evaluation, calibration, operation, and maintenance of airborne and ground based data acquisition system hardware and software.

The CDRLs shall include work accomplished since submittal of the last report, both monthly and cumulative man-hour labor costs expended by labor category and material and travel costs (including all subcontractor costs for this period). The contractor shall provide expense reports for material purchases, contractor travel, material shipping, and ODC charges using the Material Report (CDRL A011), Travel Report (CDRL A012), and Other Direct Costs (ODC) Report (CDRL A013).
Enterprise-Wide Contractor Manpower Reporting Application (ECMRA).
The contractor shall report ALL contractor labor hours (including subcontractor labor hours) required for performance of services provided under this contract for AVMI via a secure data collection site. The contractor is required to completely fill in all required data fields using the following web address: https://www.ecrma.mil.
Reporting inputs will be for the labor executed during the period of performance during each Government fiscal year (FY), which runs October 1 through September 30. While inputs may be reported any time during the FY, all data shall be reported no later than October 31 of each calendar year. Contractors may direct questions to the help desk, linked at https://www.ecrma.mil.
Work Schedule The Contractor shall provide the required services and staffing coverage during normal working hours. Normal working hours are usually 8.5 hours (including a 30-minute lunch break), each Monday through Friday (except on the legal holidays specified in paragraph 3.1.4.7). Some supported Government offices/shops have flexibility to start as early as 0530 and end as late as 1700, Monday –Friday.
Compressed Work Schedule (CWS) CWS is 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 of time: eight weekdays are worked at 9.5 hours each (which includes a 30-minute lunch), one weekday is alternately worked as 8.5 hours (which includes a 30-minute lunch) and one weekday is not worked by the employee. The result is 80 hours worked every two weeks, with 44 work hours one week and 36 work hours the other.
The Contractor, with agreement by the COR, may allow its employees to work a CWS schedule. If the Contractor chooses to allow its employees to work a CWS schedule in support of this contract, any additional
N00421-17-R-0071 AVMI Statement of Work Page 12 of 52 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. If agreement to implement the CWS schedule is reached with the COR, the overall schedule must be provided and approved by the COR. Some contractor personnel, at the discretion of the COR, may not be allowed to work a CWS schedule if it is determined to have a negative impact to performance of the contract, even if the remaining employees are permitted to do so.

3.1.4.6.2 Support requirements outside of normal working hours may occur, and the contractor shall ensure that qualified personnel are available to support these requirements through the use of overtime. Overtime cannot be charged directly to the contract unless first approved in writing by the Chief of the Contracting Office. In addition, Overtime cannot be charged directly to the contract unless concurrence is received in writing from the Government COR. The Government may approve overtime on a task, event, program, project, or general function basis. The use of OT shall be documented using the Overtime (OT) Report (CDRL A004).
Holidays The Government observes the following holidays (typically, if the holiday falls on Saturday it is observed on the previous Friday and if the holiday falls on Sunday it is observed on the following Monday).

General Facility Access 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 in support of such Federal employees shall follow their company’s policies.
In very limited circumstances, work being performed by contractor personnel may be deemed mission essential by the Government and performance of such mission essential work may be authorized by the COR 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 Contracting Officer must concur with any determination that work being performed by contractor personnel is mission essential.
