DRAFT PERFORMANCE BASED STATEMENT OF WORK

1.0 INTRODUCTION

This Performance Based Statement of Work (PBSOW) defines the scope of engineering, technical, operator and logistics services in support of the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD), Integrated Battlespace Simulation and Test (IBST) Department, Integrated Combat Environments (ICE) Division, Surface/Aviation Interoperability Laboratory (SAIL) Branch.

The SAIL is engaged in interoperable surface/aviation mission systems research, development, test and evaluation (RDT&E), fleet support, integration and interoperability testing. Experienced operators use actual ship and multi-mission helicopter systems in a national distributed network in support of battle group interoperability assessments.

The SAIL essentially functions as an operational U.S. Navy ship for aircraft in the Patuxent River MD area to test with and verify that their systems will be interoperable with before they are fielded and deploy. Historically, the SAIL has been closely linked with the SH-60B Light Airborne Multi-Purpose System (LAMPS) and MH-60R Multi-Mission Helicopter (MMH) programs. As such, SAIL maintains a considerable amount of related shipboard and airborne systems, but is now a key test entity for numerous other aircraft including MQ-4C Triton, MQ-25 Stingray, P-8A Poseidon, EP-3E Aries, MQ-8B/C Fire Scout, F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, EA-18G Growler, E-2C/D Hawkeye, MV-22 Osprey, UH-1Y Venom, and AH-1Z Viper.

SAIL also maintains and operates Roadhawk, which encompasses actual MH-60R Seahawk avionics subsystems, packaged in a mobile tractor/trailer combination. SAIL personnel travel from coast-to-coast supporting U.S. Navy ship combat systems checks for a variety of recurring events. These include (but are not limited to): Combat System Ship Qualification Trials (CSSQTs); post-construction combat systems checkouts; and after major combat systems upgrades. In addition, Roadhawk is often used at NAVSEA laboratories to test new combat system baselines before they are fielded.

SAIL is a major player in fleet technical demonstrations and exercises including Naval Innovative Science & Engineering (NISE) experimentation, Annual Naval Technology Exercises (ANTX), Netted Sensors (NS), and Fleet Tactical Grid (FTG) experiments. An anticipated growth area is supporting Joint Capability Technology Demonstrations (JCTDs) by providing an integration environment to check performance and interoperability of component technologies. SAIL assets are frequently used during Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC) events involving network connections with remote NAVAIR, NAVSEA, and SPAWAR laboratories.

3.1.4 Work Schedule to include Compressed Work Schedule (CWS), overtime, holidays, and installation closure.

3.1.4.1 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), from 0730 to 1600 each Monday through Friday (except on the legal holidays specified in paragraph 3.1.4.1.2). Some supported Government offices have flexibility to start as early as 0600/0630 and end as late as 1800, Monday –Friday. Tasking may occasionally require personnel to work outside normal working hours.

3.1.4.1.1 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.

If the Contractor chooses to allow its employees to work a CWS schedule in support of this contract, any additional 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. Due to the criticality of their tasking, it may not be feasible for key contractor personnel to work a CWS schedule even if the remaining employees are permitted to do so.

3.1.4.1.2 Holidays: The Government observes the following holidays:

New Year’s Day, January 1

Martin Luther King’s Birthday, the third Monday in January

President’s Birthday, the third Monday in February
