STATEMENT OF WORK

FOR

Linux Cluster 22 February 2017

1.0 BACKGROUND

The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWD), China Lake requires the purchase of a Linux-based high performance computing (HPC) cluster computer to execute numerical analyses performed by multiple branches (including codes 476100D, 476200D, and 477400D) in the support of various US Navy and DoD weapons programs.

1.1 SCOPE OF WORK

Modeling and simulation and numerical analyses constitute a significant portion of weapon system research and development efforts. Examples of these numerical analysis efforts include computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analyses of the flowfields around missiles, computational heat transfer analyses of aero-heating and the power dissipation in electronics payloads, computational solid mechanics analyses of the stress and strain response of missile structural members, and detailed modeling of the combustion in rocket and ramjet motors. Completing these simulations requires significant computational resources such as large amounts of memory and fast processor speed. Parallelization (the use of multiple processor cores by one simulation) is typically used to make problems tractable and to greatly reduce the time required to obtain results.

In order to maintain and expand the capability currently at NAWCWD for performing these numerical simulations, a new Linux-based high performance computing cluster is required. This new cluster will utilize the latest advances in processor speed, networking speed, memory, and processing core count.

2.0 APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS

The Government will provide all necessary obsolete reference documents and those not generally available to the contractor as requested.

The Contractor shall not purchase any IT equipment on behalf of NAVAIR in support of this Contract, which reports to PBIS-IT, without a Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) Command Information Officer (CIO) approved NAV-IDAS ITPR.

2.1. Clinger-Cohen Act:

The contractor shall conduct analysis of program/project needs, acquisition strategy and program artifacts to identify and capture specific factors required to satisfy the 11 elements of Clinger-Cohen Act (CCA) compliance listed in DODI 5000.02, Enclosure 1, Table 9. Using Microsoft Word, the contractor shall prepare a CCA compliance matrix following the organization and appearance of Table 11 with additional separate columns for the display of artifact: titles, date(s) of approval, page number(s), and paragraph or section number(s). The right-hand column shall include an embedded object permitting the reader to open unclassified artifacts. The column shall identify classified artifacts and shall describe approved classified channels for access of classified artifacts. The contractor shall support the program manager during CCA compliance review and assist in responding to reviewer comments if and when additional supporting information or revisions are required.

Updating approved CCA compliance packages: For updates of approved CCA compliance packages, the contractor shall conduct analysis of program/project needs, acquisition strategy and program artifacts to identify and to determine if each of the Eleven (11) elements of CCA has changed and if no change has occurred a notation stating “no change” shall be entered in the CCA compliance matrix. If changes have been found, the Contractor shall update the CCA compliance matrix to reflect the changes.

2.2. Software Development/Server Procurement:

Any tools developed that will be hosted by the Navy Marine Corps Intranet (NMCI) or run on NMCI workstations will be certified for NMCI and comply with NMCI policy. Additionally, any servers supporting this effort will be transitioned to meet the requirements of the current NAVAIR Server Consolidation effort.

		(1) A central processing unit (CPU) to perform operations;
		(2) User input devices such as keyboard, mouse, digitizer, or game controller; and
		(3) A computer display screen to output information. Computers include both stationary and portable unites, including desktop computers, integrated desktop computers, notebook computers, thin clients, and workstations. Although computers must be capable of using input devices and computer displays, as noted in (2) and (3) above, computer systems do not need to include these devices on shipment to meet this definition. This definition does not include server computers, gaming consoles, mobile telephones, portable hand-held calculators, portable digital assistants devices (PDAs), MP3 players, and any other mobile computing devise with displays less than 4 inches, measured diagonally.
	“Computer display” means a display screen and its associated electronics encased in a single housing or within the computer housing (e.g., notebook or integrated desktop computer) that is capable of displaying output information from a computer via one or more inputs such as VGA, DVI, USB, DisplayPort, and/or IEEE 1394-2008(TM), Standard for High Performance Serial Bus. Examples of computer display technologies are the cathode-ray tube (CRT) and liquid crystal display (LCD).
	“Desktop computer” means a computer where the main unit is intended to be located in a permanent location, often on a desk or on the floor. Desktops are not designed for portability and utilize an external computer display, keyboard, and mouse. Desktops are designed for a broad range of home and office applications.
	“Integrated desktop computer” means a desktop system in which the computer and computer display function as a single unit that receives its AC power through a single cable. Integrated desktop computers come in one of two possible forms:
		(1) A system where the computer display and computer are physically combined into a single unit; or
		(2) A system packaged as a single system where the computer display is separate but is connected to the main chassis by a DC power cord and both the computer and computer display are powered from a single power supply. As a subset of desktop computers, integrated desktop computers are typically designed to provide similar functionality as desktop systems.
	“Notebook computer means a computer designed specifically for portability and to be operated for extended periods of time either with or without a direct connection to an AC power source. Notebooks must utilize an integrated computer display and be capable of operation off of an integrated battery or other portable power source. In addition, most notebooks use an external power supply and have an integrated keyboard and pointing device. Notebook computers are typically designed to provide similar functionality to desktops, including operation of software similar in functionality to that used in desktops. Docking stations are considered accessories for notebook computers, not notebook computers. Tablet PCs, which may use touch-sensitive screens along with, or instead of, other input devices, are considered notebook computers.
	“Personal computer product” means a computer, computer display, desktop computer, integrated desktop computer or notebook computer.
	(b) Under this contract, the Contractor shall deliver, furnish for Government use, or furnish for Contractor use at a Federally controlled facility, only personal computer products that, at the time of submission of proposals and at the time of award, were EPEAT(R) bronze-registered or higher.

		(1) Any such clause is unenforceable against the Government.
		(2) Neither the Government nor any Government authorized end user shall be deemed to have agreed to such clause by virtue of it appearing in the EULA, TOS, or similar legal instrument or agreement. If the EULA, TOX, or similar legal instrument or agreement is invoked through an "I agree" click box or other comparable mechanism (e.g., "click-wrap" or "browse-wrap" agreements), execution does not bind the Government or any Government authorized end user to such clause.
		(3) Any such clause is deemed to be stricken from the EULA, TOS, or similar legal instrument or agreement.
	(b) Paragraph (a) of this clause does not apply to indemnification by the Government that is expressly authorized by statute and specifically authorized under applicable agency regulations and procedures.
