4. Requirements

4.1 Program Management Support

4.1.1 Program Management

The contractor shall provide program management (PM) services to supervise both onsite and offsite employees involved in this contract. The contractor shall provide non-GFP materials, services, personnel, direction, coordination and control needed to design, test, implement, refresh and sustain solutions required by this contract. The contractor shall adhere to industry best practices in project, program, and contract management for the MSC CivMar WiN project to enable timely and effective performance and compliance with Department of Defense (DoD), Department of Navy (DON), and MSC guidelines.

The contractor shall manage and oversee authorized activities performed by contractor personnel (including subcontractors and teaming partners) to satisfy documented MSC CivMar WiN performance requirements. The contractor shall plan, manage, and supervise work activities, ensuring effective performance support. The contractor shall escalate contract risks and issues to the Contracting Officer Representative (COR) as needed. The contractor shall identify and report personnel, cost, schedule and/or resource issues or potential issues, and provide sufficient information and recommendations to minimize the risk of non-performance.

4.1.2 Quarterly In-Progress Reviews

Due to the pace of planned installations and the need for additional coordination, the contractor shall conduct quarterly In-Progress Reviews (IPRs), unless otherwise notified by the Government. The IPRs will address the contract status and provide details regarding technical, programmatic, scheduling, capability implementation, operations, administration and contract issues.

4.1.3 Meeting Support

The contractor shall support contract management, technical, and project meetings, as well as official reviews. The meetings may be internal meetings with MSC and the contractor or external meetings with MSC, customers, stakeholders, and the contractor. The meetings may be weekly, bi-weekly, ad-hoc, plan of action and milestones (POAM) and schedule-driven reviews, or pre-scheduled conferences. The contractor shall document meeting minutes and provide to the COR and designated participants within three business days.

4.1.4 Status and Progress Reporting

The contractor shall develop and provide monthly status reporting submissions (CDRL A001, Production Order Status Report). The status report will include completed, current, and planned activities and assessment of risk to schedule, cost, and performance for the MSC CivMar WiN project. The status report will also include service support metrics such as the number of tickets received, resolved, network outages, and any active issues.

4.1.5 Contract Closeout

Contract closeout concludes with a final review and formal handover of contractually required deliverables to MSC. Final review and handover activities include:

• Final Review: Conducting a final review of authorized installation, integration, systems engineering, cybersecurity engineering, modernization, capability enablement, as well as operations and sustainment activities, validating that all contractually required tasks have been completed to the required then-current standards.

• Handover Documentation: Providing MSC with the contractor-developed and/or received relevant technical documentation, including test reports, operator manuals, and technical guides.

• Formal Handover Meeting: Holding a meeting with MSC and stakeholders to review the completed work and address any final questions or concerns.

• Support Continuation of Operations: Establishing a transition plan for ongoing sustainment support and maintenance (CDRL A013 Transition Plan), so MSC has access to necessary resources and support channels.

There will be a contract phase-out period commencing 60 days prior to the end of the contract.

The purpose of the phase-out period is to ensure a smooth transition of services and support from the predecessor contract to the successor contract. Upon notification from the Government, the contractor shall provide the services necessary to ensure a successful transition of services to the awardee under a subsequent contract for the same or similar requirement. No later than 90 days prior to the end of the contract, the contractor shall develop, with input from the Government, a plan of action to facilitate the transition of services to the incoming contractor with no degradation in services (CDRL A013 Transition Plan).

4.2 Design and Architecture Support

4.2.1 Network

The contractor shall update and maintain detailed network architecture diagrams (CDRL A002, Architecture Diagrams) and design documentation (CDRL A003, Design Documentation) for CivMar WiN. Developed architecture and designs will incorporate the latest relevant industry standards and technologies to support MSC’s development and modernization of communications networks. The contractor shall maintain and update the CivMar WiN technical baseline on an annual basis, including the detailed network designs and architecture. The contractor shall conduct design reviews with MSC stakeholders (CDRL A010, Design Reviews) in support of annual baseline updates.

4.2.2 Satellite Communications

The contractor shall update the reference and solution architecture for commercial SATCOM deployments taking into consideration authorization boundaries, operational requirements and existing infrastructure. The contractor shall develop, update, and maintain architecture diagrams (CDRL A002, Architecture Diagrams) and design documentation (CDRL A003, Design Documentation) for commercial SATCOM deployments supporting CivMar WiN. The contractor shall maintain and update the CivMar WiN technical baseline on an annual basis, including the commercial SATCOM deployment design and architecture.
