STATEMENT OF WORK

1.0 Background

This Statement of Work (SOW) defines efforts and services for accomplishment of assigned tasks within the mission areas of the Undersea Weapons, Vehicles, and Defensive Systems Department, Code 85, at Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Newport (NUWCDIVNPT). NUWCDIVNPT Code 85 is responsible for the development and maintainability of undersea defense systems. This procurement is for an array study comprised of a planar array of Stepped Tonpilz Acoustic Transducer (STAT) elements using a curved window and various fill fluids for an undersea defense system. The goal of this procurement is to ascertain an array design that can transition from Science and Technology to future fleet capability.

2.0 Scope of Work

The contractor shall conduct an acoustic analysis using a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) model to determine if a shaped window can be used with a planar array with the current textured ceramic STAT array design referred to as the STATZ3. The contractor shall determine if the acoustic performance meets requirements using a shaped window enabling a planar array to better integrate with a non-planar mounting surface.

3.0 Tasking

3.1 The contractor shall prepare and provide a kick-off meeting presentation, including a schedule for tasking identified in this SOW. The contractor shall host a kick-off meeting no later than thirty

(30) days after contract award to review the award and the task schedule to the Government.

CDRL A001 – Kick-Off Meeting Presentation

3.2 The contractor shall use a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) model to predict the acoustic performance of a STAT for the STATZ3 design to determine the maximum acoustic source level that can be achieved for the full-size array when using a planar array with a curved window. The contractor shall also investigate and identify different array window shapes, materials, and the thickness of the shapes, with the objective of minimizing the impact to received and transmitted beam patterns while also reducing turbulent flow over the window shape. In addition, the contractor shall investigate different fluids to be used in the array cavity area. The Contractor shall also determine the survivability of the window, for instance, can it withstand an impact to a pier. The contractor shall generate beampatterns over the operating band for a range of acoustic steering angles. The contractor shall make recommendations to the array configuration design to optimize maximum source level and beam pattern performance for the array.

3.3 The contractor shall provide an Interim Report summarizing status of the efforts – see CDRL A002.

CDRL A002 – Interim Report [DI-MISC-80805B]

3.4 The contractor shall provide a Final Report summarizing the overall efforts, process, methods, findings and design as executed under SOW tasking.

CDRL A003 – Final Report [DI-MISC-80805B] CDRL A004 – FEA Modeling Data – Technical Data Package [DI-SESS-80776A]

4.0 Program Management and Progress Reports

The contractor shall host, present gathered information and provide technical input at monthly Technical Interchange Meetings (TIMs). The monthly TIMs will serve as the forum to present status towards the tasks in 3.0 through 3.4. At the Government’s discretion, these meetings may be required to be held at the Contractor’s facility instead of virtually.

For all assigned tasks, the contractor shall prepare a monthly Contractor’s Status Report (CSR) that indicates the progress of work, status of the program(s), and existing or potential problem areas.

Supporting documentation may be encrypted before submission to the prime contractor for WAWF invoice submittal.

Subcontractors may email encryption code information directly to the Contracting Officer and Contracting Officer Representative (COR). Should the subcontractor lack encryption capability, the subcontractor may also email detailed supporting cost information directly to the Contracting Officer and COR; or other method as agreed to by the Contracting Officer.

(b) Contractors submitting payment requests and receiving reports to WAWF using either Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) or Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) shall separately send an email notification to the COR and Contracting Officer on the same date they submit the invoice in WAWF.

252.204-7020 NIST SP 800-171 DOD ASSESSMENT REQUIREMENTS (NOV 2023)

Basic Assessment means a contractor's self-assessment of the contractor's implementation of NIST SP 800-171 that-

(1) Is based on the Contractor's review of their system security plan(s) associated with covered contractor information system(s);

(2) Is conducted in accordance with the NIST SP 800-171 DoD Assessment Methodology; and

(3) Results in a confidence level of "Low" in the resulting score, because it is a self-generated score.

Covered contractor information system has the meaning given in the clause 252.204-7012, Safeguarding Covered Defense Information and Cyber Incident Reporting, of this contract.

High Assessment means an assessment that is conducted by Government personnel using NIST SP 800-171A, Assessing Security Requirements for Controlled Unclassified Information that--

(1) Consists of--

(i) A review of a contractor's Basic Assessment;

(ii) A thorough document review;

(iii) Verification, examination, and demonstration of a Contractor's system security plan to validate that NIST SP 800-171 security requirements have been implemented as described in the contractor's system security plan; and

(iv) Discussions with the contractor to obtain additional information or clarification, as needed; and

(2) Results in a confidence level of "High" in the resulting score.

Medium Assessment means an assessment conducted by the Government that--

(1) Consists of--

(i) A review of a contractor's Basic Assessment;

(ii) A thorough document review; and

(iii) Discussions with the contractor to obtain additional information or clarification, as needed; and

(2) Results in a confidence level of "Medium" in the resulting score.

(b) Applicability. This clause applies to covered contractor information systems that are required to comply with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication (SP) 800-171, in accordance with Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation System (DFARS) clause at 252.204-7012, Safeguarding Covered Defense Information and Cyber Incident Reporting, of this contract.

(c) Requirements. The Contractor shall provide access to its facilities, systems, and personnel necessary for the Government to conduct a Medium or High NIST SP 800-171 DoD Assessment, as described in NIST SP 800-171 DoD Assessment Methodology at https://www.acq.osd.mil/asda/dpc/cp/cyber/docs/safeguarding/NIST-SP-800-171- Assessment-Methodology-Version-1.2.1-6.24.2020.pdf, if necessary.

(d) Procedures. Summary level scores for all assessments will be posted in the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) (https://www.sprs.csd.disa.mil/) to provide DoD Components visibility into the summary level scores of strategic assessments.

(1) Basic Assessments. A contractor may submit, via encrypted email, summary level scores of Basic Assessments conducted in accordance with the NIST SP 800-171 DoD Assessment Methodology to webptsmh@navy.mil for posting to SPRS.

(i) The email shall include the following information:

(B) Organization conducting the assessment (e.g., Contractor self-assessment).

(C) For each system security plan (security requirement 3.12.4) supporting the performance of a DoD contract--

(1) All industry Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) code(s) associated with the information system(s) addressed by the system security plan; and

(2) A brief description of the system security plan architecture, if more than one plan exists.

(D) Date the assessment was completed.

(E) Summary level score (e.g., 95 out of 110, NOT the individual value for each requirement).

(F) Date that all requirements are expected to be implemented (i.e., a score of 110 is expected to be achieved) based on information gathered from associated plan(s) of action developed in accordance with NIST SP 800-171.

(ii) If multiple system security plans are addressed in the email described at paragraph (b)(1)(i) of this section, the Contractor shall use the following format for the report:

Brief CAGE codes description of Date of Total Date score of System security plan supported by this the plan assessment score 110 will plan architecture achieved

(2) Medium and High Assessments. DoD will post the following Medium and/or High Assessment summary level scores to SPRS for each system security plan assessed:
