STATEMENT OF WORK

STATEMENT OF WORK

Electronic and Optoelectronic Research for the Electronics Science and

Technology Division (Unclassified)

Section 1 Background.

1.1. The Electronics Sciences and Technology Division (ESTD), Code 6800, of the U.S.

Naval Research Laboratory is engaged in the development of advanced semiconductor materials, devices, and circuits for use in a variety of applications including optoelectronics, microwave devices, and power electronics. The potential application areas for these new technologies address a broad range of military missions, so the research includes reliability testing, physics of failure analysis, and environmental testing including nuclear and space radiation effects.

1.2. The mission of ESTD is to produce novel electronic devices having advanced properties and capabilities, and to transition these devices to the warfighter. This is achieved through coordinated modeling, simulation, and design efforts to produce new device designs.

These designs are realized in working devices through semiconductor growth and fabrication, and the device performance is measured in the characterization laboratories within ESTD. ESTD researches technologies ranging from basic electronic materials to high-powered electronics, to high-speed microwave devices, to optoelectronics, to quantum technologies for sensing, communications and computing, each with their own critical performance parameters such as efficiency of operation, responsiveness, and power output.

Section 2 Objective/ Scope. The present SOW addresses the ESTD mission by making skilled expertise available to ESTD in key technical areas where there are gaps in the ESTD expertise for specific technical areas.

2.1. The Requirements in section 4 (§4) consist of six subsections that can be broken down into four main areas. The contractor is expected to demonstrate expertise in each of these areas.

2.1.1. Modeling and simulation. Modeling and Simulation is the use of models (e.g., physical, mathematical, or logical representation of a system, entity, phenomenon, or process) as a basis for simulations to develop data utilized for managerial or technical decision making. [refs. 3.1, 3.2].

2.1.2. Fabrication. Fabrication requires the use of NRL facilities. Specifically, optoelectronic materials and/or colloidal nanostructures must be fabricated. The materials must be fabricated into optoelectronic devices, and the devices must be fabricated into functional circuits.

2.1.3. Characterization. Characterization refers to probing the electronic and optoelectronic characteristics of the materials, devices and circuits fabricated using techniques as specified below and in ref. 3.3.

2.1.4. Iteration. The state-of-the-art in optoelectronics technology is dynamic and evolving. As such, this research program must contain iterative stages of development, each stage depending on the results of the previous stage. The contractor must have experience in producing results from modeling, simulation, fabrication, and characterization, experience in analyzing those results, and experience in making appropriate decisions that best continue the advancement of the technology.

(6) Security requirements on Government installation, such as the request and retrieval of personnel security badges and vehicle passes.

(7) Monitoring contractor's performance and promptly report problems and recommendations for corrective action to the PCO.

(8) Annually, furnish a written report on performance of the contractor to the PCO. And, if deemed necessary, attending a follow-up meeting to discuss.

(9) Attend post award conference, if conducted.

(10) Ensuring a copy of all Government technical correspondence, to include Technical Direction

Memorandums/Guidance, is forwarded to the PCO for placement in the contract file.

(11) Monitoring of funds expended.

(12) Ensuring that the Contractor does not exceed the defined statement of work set forth in the Task

(c) Limitations: The COR is not authorized to take any action, either directly or indirectly, that could result in a change in the cost/price, quantity, quality, place of performance, delivery schedule, or any other terms or conditions of the contract. If, as a result of technical discussions, it is desirable to alter contract obligations or the statement of work/specifications, a modification must be issued in writing and signed by the Contracting Officer in order to effect such changes. No such changes shall be made without the express written prior authorization/direction of the Contracting Officer.

G-3 INFORMATIONAL SUBLINE ITEMS

It is anticipated that the research and development services performed under this contract will be paid for from multiple sources of funds. Informational subline items will be established as necessary to identify each accounting citation classification.

G-4 PAYMENT INSTRUCTIONS FOR MULTIPLE ACCOUNTING CLASSIFICATION CITATIONS

In accordance with PGI 204.7108, clauses 252.204-0001 through 0011 are not applicable to this contract; therefore, use PGI 204.7108(d)(12) Other and pay as follows: If there is more than one ACRN within a contract line item, the payment office will make payment using the ACRN(s) cited on the contractor's invoice. The non-standard clause

(d)(12) "Other" provides a significantly better reflection of how funds will be expended in support of contract performance. One sponsor's funds cannot be used to fund another sponsor’s program.

Based on the type of work contracted for on behalf of DOD/Navy customers, payment by CLIN/SLIN/ACRN is significantly important and using any of the payment method specified in the table identified in PGI 204.7108(b)(2) would result in the funding resources of one customer being paid for work received by another customer. The contractor completes the effort in a fluid environment; therefore, in order to accurately track and account for funding expenditures in accordance with the specific tasking associated with each funding line, payment instruction (d)(12)

"Other" applies as expenditures must reflect the actual work performed, in alignment with the type of funding to avoid violations to the Anti-Deficiency Act.

Payment shall be made in accordance with the Contracting Officer/DCAA approved billing whereby the contactor shall include identification of the CLIN, SLIN, and ACRN on each invoice. This will allow for appropriate contractor invoicing based on the unique customer requirement funding and Contracting Officer's instructions. This approach also allows for proper matching of the charge to the activity that have received the service/product with the application of the payment to the corresponding entity.
