C-1.0 SATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)

SOW Title: Optoelectronics, Power Electronics, and Radiation Effects Research

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The Electronic Sciences and Technology Division (ESTD) of the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory is tasked with producing novel electronic devices having advanced properties and capabilities, and transitioning these devices to the warfighter. This is achieved through coordinated modeling, simulation, and design efforts. Designs are realized in working devices through semiconductor growth and fabrication, and the device performance is measured in the characterization laboratories within ESTD. ESTD researches technologies ranging from basic electronic materials to high-powered electronics, high-speed microwave devices, and optoelectronics, each with their own critical performance parameters such as efficiency of operation, responsiveness, and power output.

Within ESTD, Codes 6810 and 6880 are engaged in the development of advanced semiconductor materials, devices, and circuits for use in a wide array of applications including photovoltaics, infrared imaging, and advanced materials and devices for space applications. The potential application areas for these new technologies address a broad range of ground and space-based military missions, so the research includes reliability testing, physics of failure analysis, and space environmental testing. The goal of this task is to provide scientific and engineering support for advanced semiconductor materials, devices, and circuits to increase capability and reliability of military missions for both terrestrial and space applications.

2.0 OBJECTIVE

With such a wide range of research, there are often gaps in expertise for specific technical areas. The objective of this work is to provide Research and Development (R&D) capability to Codes 6810 and 6880 in key technical gap areas. This work will bring technical versatility, and agility to Codes 6810 and 6880 by enabling access to technical skills in a variety of areas. By so doing, we will enable continued responsiveness to the warfighter.

G-6.0 PAYMENT INSTRUCTIONS - OTHER (PGI 204-7.108(d)(12)):

This contract is a cost and cost-type contract funded by multiple funding types and/or customers, spanning several years. Funding for the CLINs contained in this contract are received from various funding sources and applied to specific tasking as defined in the funding modifications. Based on the type of work contracted for on behalf of DOD/Navy customers, payment by CLIN/SLIN/ACRN is significantly important and using any of the payment methods specified in the table identified in PGI 204.7108(b)(2) would result in the funding resources of one customer being paid for work received by another customer. The contractor completes the effort in a fluid environment; therefore, in order to accurately track and account for funding expenditures in accordance with the specific tasking associated with each funding line, payment instruction (d)(12) "Other" applies as expenditures must reflect the actual work performed, in alignment with the type of funding to avoid violations to the Anti-Deficiency Act.

Payment shall be made in accordance with the Contracting Officer/DCAA approved billing whereby the contractor shall include identification of the CLIN, SLIN, and ACRN on each invoice. This will allow for appropriate contractor invoicing based on the unique customer requirement funding and Contracting Officer's instructions. This approach also allows for proper matching of the charge to the activity that have received the service/product with the application of the payment to the corresponding entity.

(b) Advance notification or requests for consent pursuant to the contract clause entitled "Subcontracts" (FAR 52.244-2) shall be directed to the cognizant administrative contracting officer (ACO).
