Statement of Work for Unmanned Systems Program Management (PM) Support Services

02 November 2017

1.0 Scope

This Statement of Work (SOW) is intended to cover full support for Unmanned Systems Program Offices (PMA) under Program Executive Office, Unmanned Aviation and Strike Weapons (PEO(U&W)). This IDIQ/MAC utilizes the following types of funding: Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Navy (RDTE,N); Other Procurement Navy (OPN); Weapons Procurement Navy (WPN); Aircraft Procurement Navy (APN); Ship Building & Conversion Navy (SCN); Procurement of Ammunition, Navy & Marine Corps (PANMC); Operations and Maintenance, Navy (O&M,N); Other Customer Funds (OCF); and Foreign Military Sales (FMS) appropriations. These efforts include, but are not limited to the following: support services for project management, program management, change management, business management, acquisition management, management of Government furnished items, configuration/data management, risk management, FMS efforts, security and operations activities.

1.1 Program Objectives

The overall objective of this SOW is to deliver program management services to the Unmanned Systems programs under PEO(U&W). The scope of this SOW describes the work to be performed under the IDIQ/MAC in general terms and serves as a guide for SOWs developed for future delivery orders. Under the IDIQ/MAC, the Contractors shall develop and deliver skills and services to augment the Government workforce to meet user requirements for both domestic and Foreign Military Sales (FMS).

1.2 Unmanned Systems

This SOW supports the Unmanned Systems associated with Program Manager, Persistent Maritime Unmanned Aircraft Systems (PMA-262), Program Manager, Small Tactical Unmanned Aircraft (PMA-263), Program Manager Multi-Mission Tactical UAS (PMA-266), and Program Manager, Unmanned Carrier Aviation. The platforms supported within the scope of the SOW include, but are not limited to:

· Broad Area Maritime Surveillance - Demonstrator (BAMS-D)

· Triton (MQ-4)

· RQ-21 Blackjack

· Group 1 Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems

· Close Range UAS

· RQ-7 Shadow

· MQ-8 B/C Fire Scout

· MQ-25 Unmanned Air System

· Common Standards and Interoperability (CSI)

Or any other programs associated with PMA-262, PMA-263, PMA-266, PMA-268, and CSI.

These systems provide operational users near-real-time intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and targeting information. Interoperability is a key enabler in providing the operational user the products needed in a timely manner. Characteristics of these unmanned systems include unmanned air vehicles carrying a wide range of advanced sensors (e.g., electro-optic, radar, electronic warfare), a control station for command/control of the air vehicles and sensors, data links, and network connectivity to external data bases as well as higher echelon command authorities.

System sizes range from very small, reusable, “back packable,” hand launched autonomous systems, to fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft operating from US Navy combat vessels, to large land-based reconnaissance/surveillance assets. Efforts associated with common standards and interoperability center around a seamless exchange of data between operational users.

These systems are designed to provide combat information to operational and tactical warfighters, from the platoon commander looking over the next hill to the Carrier Strike Group (CSG) and the Joint Forces Maritime Component Commander (JFMCC), so that a continuous source of information is available.

While generally contractor personnel may not perform work on-site at a Government facility without supervision from Federal personnel, in very limited circumstances, work being performed by contractor personnel may be deemed mission essential and performance of such mission essential work may be authorized 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 program office must concur with any determination that work being performed by contractor personnel is mission essential.
