3.1.10 Technical Direction Letters (TDLs)

3.1.10.1 Use of TDLs: TDLs may be used to allow the Government the flexibility to provide technical direction and clarification to the Contractor, which may redirect the contract effort, require pursuit of certain lines of inquiry, or fill in details to meet the requirements previously identified in paragraph 3.3 of the PWS/SOW. TDLs shall be generated, issued, revised and approved by means of an automated process capable of sharing data with the Government’s Management Information System in accordance with Section H, NAVAIR Clause 5252.242-9502 “Technical Direction” (NAVAIR)(APR 2011).

3.1.10.2 Clarification of Work: The Government anticipates that the TDLs will be used primarily to provide clarification regarding work already in execution in the event unforeseen circumstances dictate an adjustment in schedule and timeline. TDLs will not be utilized to create new work or additional tasking. The acquisition of U.S. Naval vessels is the responsibility of NAVSEA; whereas, the C4I electronic systems are the responsibility of PEO C4I. Along with NAVSEA and PEO C4I, NAWCAD has been tasked by PEO Ships to design, procure, integrate, test, train, deliver, and support C4I electronic Radio Communications Systems (RCSs) for ships of the U.S. Navy. As a result of the various organizations’ responsibilities and schedules impacting one another and potential unforeseen circumstances, it may be necessary to shift work emphasis between work areas or task. Examples of unforeseen circumstances are delays as a result of natural disasters and unscheduled/unanticipated fiscal realignments, resulting in successive scheduling changes. Furthermore, the duration of this contract coupled with outside influences, such as shipbuilder tasks and technology infusion, ensures variations in work areas and integrated/testing execution. Under this contract, TDLs will be used in addition to the Government’s Management Information System to provide the Contractor additional clarification / specificity regarding work already initiated and ongoing to ensure execution aligns with these variations. It is imperative to the successful delivery of the RCS that the Government provides this clarification on specific tasking through the duration of the contract. Situations that require clarification include, but are not limited to: drawing development and review processes, specific equipment testing execution, storage and handling practices for specific Navy electronic equipment, and engineering data format.

3.1.10.3 Project/TDL Closeout: The Contractor shall submit project/TDL/CLIN/SLIN closeout reports, which shall be signed by the Contractor's program manager. (CDRL A021)

3.1.11 Quality Surveillance and Performance Standards: The Government will conduct quality surveillance via various methods including formal and informal meetings, review of technical reports, review of monthly progress reports, and review of deliverables as provided in the Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan and Contract Surveillance Plan (QASP/CSP), Attachment 1.

The Government will evaluate Contractor performance in the areas of Quality, Schedule, Cost Control, Business Relations, Management, Small Business Compliance, and Other areas in accordance with the procedures and criteria established in the QASP/CSP.

3.1.12 Government Furnished Property (GFP)/Government Furnished Information (GFI): The Government has available at NAWCAD 4.11.3, for on-base and off-base usage, various Special Purpose Test Equipment (SPTE), and other special tools that are necessary to perform RCS design engineering, production, integration, testing, or installation functions. The items are shared by Government engineers and by Contractor support personnel working on other contracts. Previous usage history and anticipated usage on this contract does not support procuring complete sets for each Contractor. Therefore, these items will also be made available to the Contractor under this contract on an as required basis. If usage is higher than expected, the SAIW Division will provide additional assets as required. Items which will be available will be controlled and stored in the Ships Communication Tool room, located at St. Inigoes, MD. Authorized items are those within the Ships Communication Tool room inventory database. See Scheduled Government Furnished Property (SGFP) and Requisitioned Government Furnished Property Forms, Section J – Exhibit/Attachments, Attachment (F).
