STATEMENT OF WORK

1.0 Introduction and Background.

1.1. In accordance with U.S. Law, Presidential guidance, Department of Defense (DoD) directives, and Navy instructions, the Department of the Navy (DON) is required to support, implement, and ensure compliance with international treaties and agreements associated with arms control. The DoD and the Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) have issued regulations that clarify the DON’s responsibilities. Per DoD Directive 2060.1, it is DoD policy that all DoD activities be fully compliant with arms control agreements. More specifically, the DoD components shall ensure compliance with arms control agreements and to seek clearance on anything that reasonably raises an issue of DoD compliance with an arms control agreement. DoDD2060.1 also requires the Navy to provide advice and assistance on implementation, compliance, and interpretation of arms control agreements;

establish detailed procedures for implementation of, and compliance with, arms control agreements; designate an implementation and compliance review manager; provide periodic reports on arms control compliance; and seek appropriate approval of any questionable arms control issues. SECNAV Instruction (SECNAVINST) 5710.23D assigns DON responsibility for managing implementation and compliance for current and future arms control agreements to the Assistant Secretary of the Navy (ASN) for Research, Development, and Acquisition (RDA).

1.2. In accordance with SECNAVINST 5710.23D, the Director, Strategic Systems Programs (DIRSSP) shall be responsible within the DON for planning and coordination of DON arms control implementation policy and activities, conducting program compliance and implementation reviews. At the direction of ASN (RDA), DIRSSP will establish and chair a Navy Arms Control Review Board (NACRB) to review DON's implementation of, and compliance with, treaties and agreements. The Naval Treaty Implementation Program (NTIP) is the office within Strategic Systems Programs that executes the non-strategic arms control implementation and compliance mission for

DIRSSP

1.3. These related and associated operations and planning functions are predicated by a variety of international agreements and associated U.S. Government (USG) and DoD policies, guidance, directives, and instructions. This includes implementation and compliance functions for such agreements as the Treaty on Open Skies, Chemical Weapons Convention, Biological Weapons Convention, U.S.-International Atomic Energy Agency Integrated Safeguards, and other operational requirements without specific provision in Title 10 United States Code but that are requirements of the USG, DoD, or international initiatives.

4.4.3. Notifications and Missions. The contractor shall support NTIP in its implementation of the Treaty on Open Skies by utilizing existing NTIP information management systems and by executing the DON methodology for providing and recording notifications to DON facilities during Open Skies passive observation missions. NTIP sends out a series of messages to DON facilities throughout an Open Skies passive observation message (between five to six messages per Open Skies passive mission). Each facility must confirm receipt of the message, and message confirmations and responses are tracked within the DON Response Tracking System (RTS). After NTIP sends message traffic, RTS watchstanders will answer phones and record the caller’s information into RTS (this includes the facility, caller name, and caller phone number). During callbacks, the RTS watchstanders will call facilities using the point of contact (POC) information in RTS. Responses from DON facilities are provided by email or phone.

4.4.3.1. The contractor shall provide personnel to perform the roles and responsibilities of RTS watchstanders. Contractor personnel shall communicate effectively via phone and email to receive message confirmations and incorporate into the RTS.

52.242-15 Alt I Stop-Work Order (Aug 1989) - Alternate I APR 1984

SSP F-1 Level of Effort (Aug 2019)

1. The level of effort for the performance of a level of effort item shall be the quantity of man-hours set forth in Section B for such item ("the total man-hours") at an average rate that approximately equals the total man-hours divided by the number of months in the period of performance ("the monthly rate").

2. The estimated composition of the total man-hours by labor classification for each item is stated below. The composition of the expended man-hours may vary from the estimated composition.

[ insert estimated composition ]

3. By written order, the Contracting Officer may unilaterally accelerate the monthly rate. The order shall state the required accelerated rate and the date by which the total man-hours will have been expended at the accelerated rate.

4. The Contractor shall not accelerate the monthly rate without the express written consent of the Contracting Officer.

However, the monthly rate may fluctuate, provided such fluctuation does not result in the expenditure of the total man-hours prior to the end of the term of the contract ("contract term").

5. If the Contractor desires to accelerate the monthly rate, it shall notify the Contracting Officer in writing. The notice shall state: (a) the proposed accelerated rate, (b) the probable resulting benefits, (c) an offer to undertake the proposed acceleration at no increase in the price, estimated cost and fixed fee, or target cost and target fee, as applicable, and

(d) an offer stating a proposed level of effort, cost breakdown, and proposed increase in the price, estimated cost and fixed fee, or target cost and target fee, as applicable, for a proposed continuation of the work from the date that the total man-hours will have been expended at the proposed accelerated rate through the end of the contract term. Such offers shall provide that (1) the proposed work will be undertaken subject to the terms and conditions of this contract and to any additions or changes to such terms and conditions required by law, regulations, or directives, and (2) the Contracting Officer's written notice of acceptance of the former or both of such offers shall constitute a binding contract.

6. If the Contractor does not expend the total man-hours during the contract term, the Contracting Officer shall unilaterally modify the contract in accordance with either paragraph (a) or paragraph (b) below. This choice is within the sole discretion of the Contracting Officer. In paragraph (a) below, “X” means the number that equals the unexpended man-hours divided by the total man-hours.

(a)(1) In the case of a fixed-price contract, the Contracting Officer shall reduce the price by that amount which equals X times the price.

(2) In the case of a cost-plus-fixed-fee contract, the Contracting Officer shall reduce the fixed fee by that amount which equals X times the fixed fee.

(3) In the case of a cost-plus-incentive-fee contract, the Contracting Officer shall:

(i) reduce the target cost by that amount which equals X times the target cost;

(ii) reduce the estimated cost by that amount which equals X times the estimated cost, subject to paragraph 7 below;

(iii) reduce the maximum fee by that amount which equals X times (the maximum fee minus the sum of the maximum potential positive performance and schedule incentives provided under the incentive plan, if any); and

(iv) reduce each of the following by that amount which equals X times the target fee:

(A) the target fee;

(B) the maximum billable fee; and

(C) the minimum fee.

(b) The Contracting Officer shall require the Contractor to continue to work until the total man-hours are expended (consistent with the "Limitation of Cost,” "Limitation of Funds,” or “Limitation of Government’s Obligation” clause, as applicable).

7. If the previously incurred costs would exceed the estimated cost resulting from the reduction pursuant to paragraph 6(a)(3)(ii) above (“the reduced estimated cost”):

(a) the reduced estimated cost shall be increased by the amount of the excess costs to the extent they are otherwise allowable, but not above the amount of the estimated cost before such reduction, and

(b) the maximum billable fee shall be adjusted in accordance with the “Incentive Fee” clause.

This paragraph 7 does not apply if before such reduction the Contractor should have provided the Government with the notice required by paragraph (b) of the “Limitation of Cost” clause or paragraph (c) of the “Limitation of Funds” clause, as applicable, and did not provide such notice.

8. In the case of a fixed-price contract, the Contractor shall submit, within 30 days after the end of the contract term, a written report to the Contracting Officer, with a copy to the Contract Administration Office, stating the number of expended man-hours. In the case of a cost-reimbursement contract, the Contractor shall submit, within 60 days after completion of the work, the following information in writing to the Contracting Officer, with copies to the Contract Administration Office and DCAA office to which vouchers are submitted: (a) the number of expended man-hours, (b) a breakdown of the expended man-hours in each labor classification, (c) a further breakdown of the expended man-hours in each labor classification by contract line item, (d) the Contractor's estimate of the total allowable costs incurred, (e) in the case of a cost underrun, the amount by which the estimated cost may be reduced to recover excess funds (in the case of a cost-plus-fixed-fee contract), or the amount by which the estimated cost may be reduced and the maximum billable fee may be increased to recover excess funds (in the case of a cost-plus-incentive-fee contract), and (f) in the case of an underrun in man-hours, a calculation of the appropriate fixed-fee reduction (in the case of a cost-plus-fixed-fee contract), or target-cost and target-fee reduction (in the case of a cost-plus-incentive-fee contract) in accordance with…
