Section C - Descriptions and Specifications

STATEMENT OF WORK

Statement of Work for High-Resolution Optical Time Domain Reflectometer Sets 18 May 2021

1. SCOPE

This Statement of Work (SOW) addresses the requirements and tasks associated with the production and delivery of the High-Resolution Optical Time Domain Reflectometer Sets for the P-8A Poseidon Aircraft in support of United States Navy (USN) and Foreign Military Sales (FMS).

2.0 APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS

a) MIL-STD-130N – Identification Marking of U.S. Military Property

b) Drawing #3909AS9999 Rev B, Identification Plate for Support Equipment/UID Markings

c) ASTM D3951-18 - Standard Practice for Commercial Packaging

d) MIL-STD-129R - Military Marking for Shipment and Storage

e) MIL-STD-1366E - Transportability Criteria

3.0 REQUIREMENTS

3.1 General

The Contractor shall manufacture and deliver the High-Resolution Optical Time Domain Reflectometer Sets in accordance with (IAW) this SOW and the requirements of the contract.

3.2 Quality Assurance

The Contractor shall have in place a production quality assurance (QA) system compliant with ISO 9001. This QA system shall be able to ensure that manufactured configuration items are built to print, functional, and reliably made IAW controlling technical drawings, specifications and standards. Each item manufactured as part of this contract shall have passed a Government final inspection prior to DD-250.

3.3 Government Inspection and Acceptance

Government Inspection and Acceptance of all production units shall be accomplished at the source by representatives of Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA).

3.4 Item Unique Identification (IUID) Marking of US Military Property In accordance with DFARS Clause 252.211-7003 Item Identification and valuation, the Contractor is required to mark and register all end items and their components meeting the requirements called out in MIL-STD-130N. These include components for which the Governments unit acquisition cost is $5,000 or greater, or any component, subassembly or embedded part that is serially managed, mission essential or a controlled inventory item.

3.4.1 Construct and Method

Details on creating the UID and the marking method are contained in MIL-STD-130N. The UID may be either UID Construct #1 or Construct #2 with Construct #2 being the preferred method.

3.4.2 UID Location and Marking

The locations and marking methods selected should bear no impact on the performance of the part and minimal configuration change(s) to the part. The UID (including 2D Matrix) should be incorporated onto the data plate in accordance with Drawing 3909AS9999 Rev B (Identification Plate/UID Markings). If the 2D matrix can't be incorporated onto the data plate, a 2D matrix sticker can be applied onto the main data plate provided it can be done without covering any critical data. When the 2D Data Matrix is placed directly onto the data plate, the Part Number, Serial Number and CAGE human readable characters are not required. If the above cannot be accomplished, a separate data plate can be attached which contains the 2D Matrix plus the human readable characters for the Part Number, Serial Number and CAGE. This added data plate should be attached in close proximity to the main data plate.

3.4.3 Permanency and Legibility

The UID marking and identification plates, tags, or labels when used on equipment, parts, assemblies, subassemblies, units, sets, or groups shall be permanent during the normal life expectancy of the item and be capable of withstanding the environmental test and cleaning procedures specified for the item. Legibility shall be as required for ready readability as per MIL-STD-130N.

3.4.4 UID Registration

The prime Contractor has the responsibility to furnish Item Unique Identification (IUID) data to the IUID registry. Data submission of IUID data and acquisition cost should be via Wide Area Work Flow (WAWF), IUID XML file, IUID flat file or web entry. Additional information regarding data submission as well as the actual marking can be found at http://www.acq.osd.mil/dpap/pdi/uid/index.html.

3.4.5 Records

The Contractor shall maintain an accurate, current list of UIDs for all manufactured items on this contract and supply to the Government upon request. The list shall include P/N, Serial #, CAGE, UID Location, Construct used, how it was marked, and the registration method used.

Section D - Packaging and Marking

52.219-28 POST-AWARD SMALL BUSINESS PROGRAM REREPRESENTATION (NOV 2020)

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause--

Long-term contract means a contract of more than five years in duration, including options. However, the term does not include contracts that exceed five years in duration because the period of performance has been extended for a cumulative period not to exceed six months under the clause at 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, or other appropriate authority.

Small business concern--

(1) Means a concern, including its affiliates, that is independently owned and operated, not dominant in the field of operation in which it is bidding on Government contracts, and qualified as a small business under the criteria in 13 CFR part 121 and the size standard in paragraph (d) of this clause. Such a concern is "not dominant in its field of operation" when it does not exercise a controlling or major influence on a national basis in a kind of business activity in which a number of business concerns are primarily engaged. In determining whether dominance exists, consideration shall be given to all appropriate factors, including volume of business, number of employees, financial resources, competitive status or position, ownership or control of materials, processes, patents, license agreements, facilities, sales territory, and nature of business activity.

(2) Affiliates, as used in this definition, means business concerns, one of whom directly or indirectly controls or has the power to control the others, or a third party or parties control or have the power to control the others. In determining whether affiliation exists, consideration is given to all appropriate factors including common ownership, common management, and contractual relationships. SBA determines affiliation based on the factors set forth at 13 CFR 121.103.

(b) If the Contractor represented that it was any of the small business concerns identified in 19.000(a)(3) prior to award of this contract, the Contractor shall rerepresent its size and socioeconomic status according to paragraph (f) of this clause or, if applicable, paragraph (h) of this clause, upon occurrence of any of the following:

(1) Within 30 days after execution of a novation agreement or within 30 days after modification of the contract to include this clause, if the novation agreement was executed prior to inclusion of this clause in the contract.

(2) Within 30 days after a merger or acquisition that does not require a novation or within 30 days after modification of the contract to include this clause, if the merger or acquisition occurred prior to inclusion of this clause in the contract.

(3) For long-term contracts--

(i) Within 60 to 120 days prior to the end of the fifth year of the contract; and

(ii) Within 60 to 120 days prior to the date specified in the contract for exercising any option thereafter.

(c) If the Contractor represented that it was any of the small business concerns identified in 19.000(a)(3) prior to award of this contract, the Contractor shall rerepresent its size and socioeconomic status according to paragraph (f) of this clause or, if applicable, paragraph (h) of this clause, when the Contracting Officer explicitly requires it for an order issued under a multiple-award contract.

(d) The Contractor shall rerepresent its size status in accordance with the size standard in effect at the time of this rerepresentation that corresponds to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code(s) assigned to this contract. The small business size standard corresponding to this NAICS code(s) can be found at https://www.sba.gov/document/support--table-size-standards.

(e) The small business size standard for a Contractor providing a product which it does not manufacture itself, for a contract other than a construction or service contract, is 500 employees.

(f) Except as provided in paragraph (h) of this clause, the Contractor shall make the representation(s) required by paragraph (b) and (c) of this clause by validating or updating all its representations in the Representations and Certifications section of the System for Award Management (SAM) and its other data in SAM, as necessary, to ensure that they reflect the Contractor's current status. The Contractor shall notify the contracting office in writing within the timeframes specified in paragraph (b) of this clause, or with its offer for an order (see paragraph (c) of this clause), that the data have been validated or updated, and provide the date of the validation or update.

(g) If the Contractor represented that it was other than a small business concern prior to award of this contract, the Contractor may, but is not required to, take the actions required by paragraphs (f) or (h) of this clause.

(h) If the Contractor does not have representations and certifications in SAM, or does not have a representation in SAM for the NAICS code applicable to this contract, the Contractor is required to complete the following rerepresentation and submit it to the contracting office, along with the contract number and the date on which the rerepresentation was…
