CONTRACT TYPE

This solicitation is a Small Business set-aside (NAICS code 541330) and the resulting contract will be a Single- Award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract utilizing Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF) CLINs for Labor (Term) and Cost Reimbursable CLINs for Other Direct Costs (Travel and Material). The anticipated ordering period is five (5) years.

The Government anticipates that the first Task Order (TO) will be issued approximately 30 days after Contract award.

NOT SEPARATELY PRICED CLINS

Not Separately Priced (NSP) Appropriation Type CLINs and NSP Data and Contractor Acquired Property (CAP) CLINs will be on the Basic IDIQ Contract, whereas, at the Task Order Level, CLINs will be separately priced along with NSP Data and CAP CLINs. At the IDIQ level, CLINs 0001 and 0008 will contain the overall ceiling for CLINs 0002-0007 and 0009-0014, respectively.

SYSTEM FOR AWARD MANAGEMENT (SAM)

Effective 27 April 2018, all new entities registering in GSA’s System for Award Management (SAM), as well as existing registrations being updated or renewed, will require the submission of an original, signed notarized letter identifying the authorized Entity Administrator for the entity associated with the Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number. The original signed notarized letter shall be mailed within 30 days after registration or risk their accounts becoming inactive. It is recommended that all interested parties be aware that processing this additional information may take several days and are advised to be proactive in maintaining the SAM registrations in an “Active” status as the government cannot award to an entity without an “Active” SAM registration.

B-1

I. B-1 Hourly Burdened Composite Labor Rates (excluding fee) and Streamlined Ordering Procedures for Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) (Labor Term CLINs and/or Orders)

(a) Hourly Burdened Composite Labor Rates (provided within the tables in paragraphs (c) and (d) below) applicable to CLINs 0001 - 0007 only:

(1) The rates below are the Hourly Burdened Composite Labor Rates for each labor category, exclusive of prime fee on both prime and subcontractor labor.

i. Hourly Burdened Composite Labor Rates shall include direct labor rates plus all applicable burdens, to include indirect rates, applicable escalation, subcontractor fee on subcontractor labor, and subcontractor pass-through costs (exclusive of prime fee on subcontractor's labor).

ii. Hourly Burdened Composite Labor Rates shall not include prime fee on prime labor, prime fee on subcontractor labor, Other Direct Costs (ODCs) such as Travel and Material, and Cost of Money costs (if proposed).

iii. The Hourly Burdened Composite Labor Rate is the sum of both the prime and all subcontractor labor costs, as described above, for that labor category divided by the total number of labor hours for that labor category.

(2) The Hourly Burdened Composite Labor Rates in paragraphs (c) and (d) are estimates, and invoicing will be based on actual costs incurred.

(b) Task Orders (TOs) that include CPFF Labor Term CLINs will be issued under this contract using the following streamlined ordering procedures:

(1) For each proposed order that includes CPFF Labor Term CLINs, the Contracting Officer will provide the Contractor a TO and an Independent Government Cost Estimate (IGCE). The IGCE is an estimate of labor hours by labor category utilizing the Hourly Burdened Composite Labor Rates provided in paragraphs (c) and (d) below, to calculate the total estimated cost for the proposed CLINs and/or TO.

i. The TO fixed fee is calculated using Section G Clause 5252.232-9510 PAYMENT OF

FIXED FEE (NAVAIR).

ii. Ceiling for ODCs will be priced in accordance with the Government estimate.

iii. TOs crossing multiple years will be estimated by the Government using the Hourly Burdened Composite Labor Rates for each year in proportion to the Period of Performance (PoP) of the TO.

(2) Within three (3) working days of receipt of the TO and IGCE, the Contractor shall respond:

i. If the Contractor agrees that it can perform the TO within the parameters of the IGCE, they will sign and return the DD 1155 to the Contracting Officer. If the requirement remains valid, a priced order will be issued to the Contractor; or

ii. If the Contractor does not agree with the TO and/or IGCE, the Contractor shall acknowledge its disagreement within three (3) working days. Additionally, a proposal shall be submitted to the Contracting Officer within five (5) working days of receipt of the TO and IGCE, addressing only the specific areas of difference in labor categories and/or hours in the IGCE. Once the differences are resolved between the Contracting Officer and the Contractor, and the requirement remains valid, a priced order will be issued to the Contractor.

COMMAND, CONTROL, COMMUNICATIONS, COMPUTERS, AND INTELLIGENCE OPERATIONAL

MAINTENANCE & ENGINEERING TRAINING

1.0 Scope: The Airborne Systems Integration (ASI) Division is engaged in the research; development; design;

integration; test and evaluation; deployment; training; technical management; and maintenance support for integrated Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (C4I) life-cycle engineering systems supporting various sponsors to include Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), and other DoD and Federal organizations.

This Statement of Work (SOW) will provide information management architectures relating to interactive information and learning products to support the warfighter. These services include Maintenance and Materiel Management (3M); the development of logistics packages; software engineering, development, and integration;

engineering support; and technical support to Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) Webster Outlying Field (WOLF) and its customers.

Efforts accomplished under this Contract will encompass the engineering and analysis of complex DoD based C4I systems relating to and supporting innovative and interactive information and learning tool products. Efforts include in-service engineering approaches as it relates to planned maintenance and training covering both currently deployed C4I systems, as well as new and emerging C4I systems still under development. This effort will include design, development, implementation, and training utilizing electronically based engineering processes for maintenance and training techniques on sophisticated military systems. These engineering solutions and interactive products will support the various C4I equipment suites that are found aboard U.S. Navy and foreign surface and subsurface warships. The support will also include DoD based air platforms and ground systems involving various communication, weapon, and operational mission systems. In order to accomplish the associated tasking, the Contractor will also be required to interact with fleet personnel to ascertain not only inputs for the engineering design and development phases of these information and learning tool products, but to also support fleet personnel in their daily duties of in-service engineering and maintenance support for the mission based electronic equipment.
