Statement of Work (SOW) for VIRGINIA Class Racetrack Procurements

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Philadelphia Division (NSWCPD) is a Department of Defense entity responsible for research and development, test and evaluation, engineering and fleet support organization for the Navy’s ships, submarines, military watercraft and unmanned vehicles. This requirement is for NSWCPD Code 453, which is responsible for engineering, maintenance, repair and outfitting of Naval Submarine Sail and Mechanical Systems.

1.0.1 This contract is for non-personal services. It does not create employment rights with the U.S. Government whether actual, inherent, or implied

1.0.3 Government/Contractor Relationship

1.0.3.1 The services to be delivered under this Contract are non-personal services and the parties recognize and agree that no employer-employee relationship exists or will exist under the Contract between the Government and the Contractor's personnel. Therefore, it is in the best interest of the Government to provide both parties a full understanding of their respective obligations.

1.0.3.2 The Contractor employees shall identify themselves as Contractor personnel by introducing themselves or being introduced as Contractor personnel and displaying distinguishable badges or other visible identification for meetings with Government personnel. In addition, Contractor personnel shall appropriately identify themselves as Contractor employees in telephone conversations and in formal and informal written correspondence.

1.0.3.3 Contractor personnel under this Contract shall not engage in any of the inherently Governmental functions listed at FAR Subpart 7.5 or DFARS Subpart 207.5.

1.0.4 Employee Relationship:

1.0.4.1 The services to be performed under this Contract do not require the Contractor or its personnel to exercise personal judgment and discretion on behalf of the Government. Rather the Contractor's personnel will act and exercise personal judgment and discretion on behalf of the Contractor.

1.0.4.2 Rules, regulations, directives, and requirements that are issued by the U. S. Navy and NSWCPD under its responsibility for good order, administration, and security are applicable to all personnel who enter a Government installation or who travel on Government transportation.

This is not to be construed or interpreted to establish any degree of Government control that is inconsistent with a non-personal services contract.

1.0.4.3 Inapplicability of Employee Benefits: This Contract does not create an employer-employee relationship. Accordingly, entitlements and benefits applicable to such relationships do not apply.

1.0.4.4 It is the Contractor's, as well as the Government's, responsibility to monitor Contract activities and notify the Contracting Officer if the Contractor believes that the intent of this Section has been or may be violated.
