3. Background.

The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) is a recognized center of excellence for Department of Defense

(DoD) spectrum matters. One of DISA’s missions is to provide spectrum, electromagnetic environmental effects

(E3) engineering, and analysis support services on a reimbursable, customer-funded basis to DoD Components, Federal Agencies, Non-Federal Government Organizations, and to foreign entities when authorized by the DoD

Chief Information Officer (CIO), the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS), or the Foreign Military Sales

(FMS) process through the Defense Security Cooperation Agency. DISA also provides E3 engineering support services on a reimbursable basis prior to the installation of new or substantially upgraded Commercial

Telecommunications Services (CTS) on Federal property when requested by DoD components or Federal Agencies.

This requirement is required to execute DoD spectrum policy as delineated in DoD Instructions (DoDI) 4650 and

DoDI 3222.

4. Objectives:

Engineering support related to spectrum operations is an integral part of the overall information battlespace. In future operational environments, it is essential that spectrum-dependent (S-D) systems perform as expected to help achieve mission objectives. The challenges faced in meeting these objectives include:

• Rapidly changing technologies associated with S-D systems

• Competing demands for spectrum access

• Adversaries utilizing advanced technologies and computer hacking

Page 3 of 43 Pages

• Coordinating and collaborating with all pertinent stakeholders (e.g., services, intelligence community, commercial, academia)

• Providing timely and accurate information for decision makers at the appropriate level

• Working efficiently across multiple mission areas and organizations

A thorough understanding of the physics and technologies related to S-D systems and ramifications to operations is essential in supporting this effort. This shall include a thorough understanding in the following:

• Spectrum related phenomenology (e.g., electromagnetic propagation, non-linear effects, antennas, near field conditions, Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP)) across the electromagnetic spectrum and system performance considerations (e.g., digital signal processing, software defined radios, encryption technologies, system vulnerabilities), software tools (e.g., engineering, scenario) applications and limitations

• Testing and measurement tools, processes and limitations

There are integrated operational, technical and policy (e.g., regulations generated by the World

Radiocommunication Conference) aspects of the tasking. The following DISA mission elements shall be provided by the contractor:

a. Technical support in the planning, research and development, design acquisition, and testing of spectrum-dependent systems in the operational electromagnetic environment (EME).

b. Spectrum supportability and E3 risk assessments for developmental and operational platforms, systems, and equipment.

c. Spectrum certification support including spectrum certification and supportability planning nationally and internationally, frequency band selection, host nation compatibility support, and performance of Military

Standards (MIL-STD) testing.

d. Testing and measurement support to evaluate system performance in the operational EME including MIL-

STD, E3, electromagnetic interference (EMI), and hazards of electromagnetic radiation to ordnance

(HERO) testing. Support shall be provided during all programming phases from the research and development through the operational stage.

e. Comprehensive management support in the areas of project planning, scheduling, monitoring, reporting and other resources.

To achieve the objectives of this PWS, it is imperative that an integrated approach across DISA and its customer base be taken. The integrated approach must consider technical, operational, policy, and acquisition factors. Close communications with all stakeholders are imperative to ensure requirements and expectations are met. An integrated approach shall:

• Promote and leverage a multi-disciplinary, highly skilled workforce with technical, analytical, and operational expertise in DoD E3 engineering. The workforce shall have experience using the classified

Government spectrum management databases.

• Encourage collaboration to strengthen partnerships across diverse domains.

• Align business processes, management practices, and tools to best serve the broader community.

Mission Location(s): 6910 Cooper Avenue, Fort George G. Meade, MD 20755-7901 with possible local travel to

2204 Turbot Landing, Annapolis MD 21402-5064.

**Please note, only unclassified work may be performed at the contractor’s locations. Classified and unclassified work shall be performed only at a Government location, as specified above. **

The maximum number of seats available in the government site for this effort is four (4) (space waiver tracking #

J4FL22202602 for Government use only).

Place of Performance: Alternative work sites allow for regular telework or remote work flexibilities. Regardless of where work is performed, the contractor shall ensure that work is completed effectively and that mission needs and requirements are met, without degradation of services. Also, the contractor may be required to account for the physical location of their personnel should this information be requested by the COR. The contractor shall propose on-site rates for all work performed at an alternative work site. Incidental charges incurred while working at an alternative work site (e.g., electricity, internet) are not allocable to the contract and shall not be billed to the

Government.

Local travel to and around the mission location (or place of performance if the PWS does not include a list of places of performance), (add mission location such as DISA HQ Ft. Meade include contractor’s facility as well if that is part of the place of performance) may be required throughout the period of performance; this travel will not be reimbursed. Long-distance travel within CONUS may be required to support the requirements of this PWS. Long distance (non-local) travel within CONUS must be pre-approved in writing by the COR prior to the Contractor incurring the cost in support of this contract. All long-distance travel within CONUS shall be planned and conducted in support of the individual tasks contained in the specified TO.

Secondary Place of Performance – Contingency Only. As determined by the Contracting Officer’s Representative

(COR), contractor employees may be required to work at a secondary place of performance (e.g., home, the contractor's facility, or another approved activity within the local travel area) in cases of unforeseen conditions or contingencies (e.g., pandemic conditions, exercises, government closure due to inclement weather). Additionally, the contractor may be required to account for the physical location of their personnel should this information be requested by the COR. Non-emergency/non-essential contractors should not report to a closed government facility.

Contractor shall prepare all deliverables and other contract documentation utilizing contractor resources. To the extent possible, the contractor shall use best efforts to provide the same level of support as stated in the PWS. In the event the services are impacted, reduced, compromised, etc., the Contracting Officer or the contractor may request an equitable adjustment pursuant to the Changes clause of the contract.

Performance of TOs may extend up to one (1) year beyond the expiration of this contract, but no new TOs can be issued once the contract has expired. Rates in the final year of base ordering period shall be the max rates utilized in performance beyond the expiration of the contract. The period of performance for each TO awarded under the ID/IQ contract shall be specified in the TO.

Recognized Federal Holidays: The contractor is not required to perform services on Federal Holidays (as specified on the U.S. Office of Personnel Management website), unless otherwise specified by the COR.

Unplanned Federal Government Closure: In the event an authorized official, by either executive or legislative order, declares Federal offices closed (treated as a holiday for pay and leave purposes), the order only applies to Federal employees (unless otherwise stated in the order).
