CONTENT CONVERSION (CC)

SCOPE

This Statement of Work (SOW) documents the Contractor tasks for the design, development, testing, and delivery of products in support of the Sailor 2025 (S2025) Fiscal Year 2020 (FY20) Ready Relevant Learning (RRL) Content Conversion (CC) effort. Figure 1 identifies the process for converting content into various product types outlined within the SOW.

Figure 1: Content Conversion Process

The project is to employ innovative instructional design and assessment strategies in conjunction with new and modernized technology to support the ratings accession training while simultaneously supporting the broader S2025 overarching goal of improving Sailors’ transfer of training to the operational work environment. Figure 2 identifies training strategies and training and performance support products that will be used to support the RRL effort.

Integrated Management Plan (IMP) The Contractor shall develop a detailed IMP describing the Contractor’s organization, assignment of functions, duties, responsibilities, management procedures and policies, plans for deliverable intermittent and ongoing reviews, and reporting requirements for the effort. The Contractor shall detail management and control processes to integrate activities within SOW requirements, schedule requirements, and quality assurance activities. The Contractor shall prepare and deliver the IMP IAW CDRL B001.

Work Planning and Scheduling The Contractor shall document the work planning and scheduling of content conversion requirement processes including Government responsibilities (i.e., review of deliverables) and the interaction between Government and Contractor for the content conversion requirements for the design, development, and delivery of the training products. The Contractor shall develop, implement, control, and maintain an Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) that presents the Contractor’s plans and schedules to meet the requirements of the contract. The Contractor shall develop and document a tiered scheduling system based on the Contract Work Breakdown Structure (CWBS) elements showing program milestones and prerequisite events, conferences, reviews, data submittals, deliveries, materials, travel, and other direct costs. The Contractor shall integrate contract deliverables and subcontractor schedules into the IMS. The Contractor shall construct the IMS to ensure that the program milestones are met and to ensure that deliveries meet the requirements of the contract. Contractor schedule information delivered to the Government or presented at program reviews shall originate from the IMS. The Contractor shall perform analyses of the IMS tasks, compare the IMS tasks to the schedule baseline, report potential or existing problem areas, and recommend corrective actions to eliminate or reduce schedule impact. The Contractor shall use the IMS as a day-to-day execution tool and to periodically assess progress in meeting program requirements. For any Agile methodologies utilized during the development phase, the Contractor shall detail release planning including Epics/Capabilities and Features, at a minimum, within their period of detail planning for those products. The Contractor shall prepare the IMS IAW the Integrated Program Management Report (IPMR), CDRL B002.

The Contractor shall use the CWBS as the framework for contract planning, budgeting, and reporting of cost, schedule, and performance. The Contractor shall extend this CWBS to control accounts, work packages, and lower levels that represent the plan to accomplish the entire contract work scope consistent with internal organizations and processes. The Contractor shall define and describe each element of the CWBS in the CWBS dictionary. During the performance of the contract, the Contractor shall not change the approved CWBS or associated definition, or the reporting elements, without written approval from the Government. The Contractor shall prepare the CWBS and Dictionary IAW CDRL B003.

Subcontractor Management and Reporting The Contractor shall ensure the timely award of all subcontracts, integration of their subcontractors’ plans and status into appropriate schedules with sufficient detail, monitoring the subcontractors’ staffing plans, and execution of those staffing plans to the required levels with the required skills. The contractor shall reserve the right for themselves, and for the Government accompanied by a representative of the prime contractor, to send personnel into the subcontractor’s facilities to monitor and evaluate subcontracted activities. The Contractor shall ensure that the subcontractors’ technical efforts are accomplished per contract requirements. The Contractor shall monitor subcontractor quality, CM, risk processes, and ensure that subcontractors use objective criteria to measure performance. The Contractor shall flow down separate IPMR reporting requirements to subcontractors IAW the IPMR CDRL B002 for subcontracts exceeding $20M.

Schedule Risk Assessment (SRA) The Contractor shall participate in Government conducted Probabilistic SRA as per the SRA frequency and direction delineated in the CWBS and Dictionary IAW CDRL B003. SRAs are conducted to determine how major areas of uncertainty in the schedule could impact contractual milestones, including assumptions and potential effects of the identified schedule risks. In addition to the paths identified in the IPMR CDRL B002, the Contractor shall also report optimistic, pessimistic, and most likely remaining durations and rationale for the values for each task and activity on the following paths: driving path to the next Major Milestone, the next three near-driving paths to the next Major Milestone. A complete SRA shall be performed outside of routine scheduled occurrences, at the request of the Government, when the schedule is a significant issue due to operational requirements, funding limitations, and when scheduling is considered a major risk element to the acquisition effort. If the Contractor conducts internal SRAs as part of their standard business practices (i.e., independent of those executed with the Government), the Contractor shall provide the result of those assessments to the Government. The Contractor shall document and report the results of the SRAs in the Contractor’s Progress, Status, and Management Report CDRL B004.

Program Progress, Tracking, and Reporting The Contractor shall track, measure, monitor, assess, summarize, and report the work progress, and schedule performance information under the contract to the Government. The Contractor shall identify program risks, perform risk analysis, risk handling, risk monitoring, and create a risk reporting matrix using Naval Systems Commands (SYSCOM) Risk Instruction, signed 21 July 2008, as guidance. The Contractor shall use Appendix E – Risk Assessment Example Format for an example of a risk reporting matrix, supporting identified risks, and the risk analysis format. The Contractor shall prepare and deliver the Contractor’s Progress, Status, and Management Report IAW CDRL B004.

Conferences, Meetings, and Reviews The Contractor shall conduct, attend, and participate in conferences (e.g., PACs), meetings (e.g., Content Design Meetings [CDMs]), reviews (e.g., IPRs, Engineering Technical Interchange Meetings [ETIMs]), and scheduled trips (e.g., for data gathering, reviews, photo capture) at either Government or Contractor facilities. Duration, location, and frequency are outlined in Appendix F. Conferences, meetings, and reviews shall be co-chaired by a Government and a Contractor representative. The Contractor shall have key personnel and support available to carry out the meetings. Subcontractors shall be required to attend conferences, meetings, and reviews when required to address key elements of the program. The Contractor shall make available facilities for Government only meetings during conferences, meetings, and reviews. The Contractor shall prepare presentation and other materials, as required, to aid in the conduct of the conferences, meetings, and reviews (i.e., intermittent and ongoing reviews of deliverables). The Contractor shall prepare the Conference Agenda and Conference Minutes for each conference, meeting, review, and scheduled trip IAW CDRLs B005 and B006, respectively. Once set, changes to the scheduled meeting shall be submitted via e-mail to and approved by the Government PM.
