SP330020Q5013 Attachment 1 – Statement of Work Page 1 of 5

1. Background

The Defense Logistics Agency (“DLA”) is the Department of Defense’s largest logistics combat support activity. DLA provides worldwide support, primarily to the military services. Other customers include US civilian entities and foreign countries.

This Statement of Work (“SOW”) supports a joint project between the DLA J6 Innovation Team and DLA Distribution to build and prototype the collection of data through Internet of Things “(IoT)” edge devices.

DLA Information Operations (“DLA J6”) provides information technology (“IT”) to the DLA community. This technology is secure, modern and functional. The Innovation Team rapidly delivers prototype IT capabilities, with a focus on stakeholder engagement, experimentation and the iterative cycle. The team builds new things that have the potential to change how DLA does business.

The mission of DLA Distribution is to provide a full range of distribution services using a seamless, tailored, worldwide Department of Defense distribution network that delivers effective, efficient and innovative support to combatant commands, military services, and other agencies during peace and war.

A. DLA Distribution Susquehanna, Pennsylvania is a dual-sited operation, headquartered in New Cumberland, Pa. with additional facilities at Mechanicsburg, Pa., that provides nine million square feet of covered storage space, and as of 2015, maintains nearly 770,000 different National Stock Numbers worth $13 billion. It coordinates material management and distribution of mission critical items including military and commercial repair parts, industrial, medical supplies, tires, and aerial delivery equipment, optimizing all resources with a focus on safety, quality, and continuous process improvement.

B. The DLA Distribution Susquehanna, Pennsylvania’s mission is to provide world-class distribution services to enhance the readiness of the DoD and other customers, through effective and efficient receipt, storage, control, shipment, and disposal of materiel. It strives to be a values-based team known for workforce excellence and providing superior distribution services on time, every time.

2. Funding, Period of Performance and Evaluation

This Prototype is not to exceed $250,000.00. Required delivery and install is 45 calendar days after award and one year from time of award for cloud management, CLIN 0003 and ongoing support.

DLA shall make award in accordance with this not to exceed amount. Offerors shall be evaluated in accordance with the following technical factors, on a best value basis in accordance with FAR

13.106. Section three provides the specifics. Generally, DLA seeks the best mix of:

SP330020Q5013 Attachment 1 – Statement of Work Page 2 of 5

• number of IoT devices

• sensor functionality

• connectivity methods

• security; and

• offeror’s ability to provide ongoing and support for the pilot effort (to include potential in-person participation)

3. Scope

A. General

This SOW supports the Innovation Team to build and test a rapid prototype for an end-to-end IoT platform from physical IoT hardware that includes various sensors, Connectivity and Cloud hosted device console to measure DLA Distribution warehouse equipment. Specifically, we seek to attach IoT hardware with sensors to various (yet-to-be-identified) pieces of equipment. This equipment might be: 1. fixed to the floor, such as conveyor belts; or 2. in intermittent locomotion, such as forklifts.

Part of the scope of this pilot (see details below) shall be to determine the equipment that, if tagged with IoT hardware, would yield the most valuable data.

These IoT hardware must be able to attach to the wide range of equipment without causing any damage on connection or removal.

B. Sensor Technology

CLIN 0001: The IoT hardware must have plug-and-play capability that allows the provider’s cloud solution to automatically understand the device and start interacting with it without the user of the device having to write any device code. For this prototype, the IoT devices will be placed on SI Systems Towlines, Honeywell (FKI) Series 55, 56, and 57 Man aboard Cranes and Baldor belted conveyor systems. The IoT hardware will need to be fitted with sensors that have the capability to measure and capture the following:

1. Vibration

2. Noise

3. Voltage usage

CLIN 0002: In addition, the prototype will need to measure and capture the daily utilization of a fleet of Hyster 4K Sitdown lift forklifts individually. It is up to the vendor to determine the appropriate sensors to be used on the IoT hardware to measure utilization, specifically hours of each forklift.

SP330020Q5013 Attachment 1 – Statement of Work Page 3 of 5

Even though this prototype is restricted to the scenarios above, it is desired the IoT hardware selected also have the capability to be fitted with sensors that have the capability to capture the following:

• Acceleration (Accelerometer)

• Distance (Ultrasonic sonar, Time of Flight)

• Location (GPS)

• Humidity

• Rotation (Gyroscope)

• Power consumption

• Motion (IR Beam-break)

• Flex

• Force

• Pressure

• Gas

The IoT hardware should be able to perform basic edge computing on the data that is being captured by the installed sensors so that to limit the amount of data being transported to the providers online cloud platform. The IoT hardware must be housed in a protective outer layer to shield the electronics from the warehouse environment. The IoT hardware may be self-powered so long as they are designed to operate for at least 3 years or they can draw from an external power source.

C. Connectivity/Data Extraction

The IoT hardware should utilize LTE cellular technology to communicate with the providers cloud platform. If a specific IoT hardware device is not able to connect to provider’s cloud platform via a cellular due to a weak cellular signal, the capability must exist to utilize a mesh network with other IoT hardware devices to pass the sensor data to the provider’s cloud platform. All sensor data that is passed from the IoT hardware device via cellular or through the mesh network must be encrypted.

The sensor data that is being collected by the IoT hardware devices will be captured in the providers online cloud platform. The providers online cloud platform will provide the capability to manage all the IoT hardware devices at the New Cumberland facility. This includes

1. Firmware updates

2. Remote Diagnostics of the IoT Hardware devices

3. Device specific metrics

Provider’s cloud platform must have the capability to export data in a general format that can be ingested to an environment DLA uses for IoT data. DLA anticipates using Microsoft Azure IoT Hub to pass the captured sensor data because it is an existing toolset to which DLA has access. DLA is responsible to transport data from the provider’s cloud environment to DLA’s Azure IoT Hub environment (or similar). Upon that transfer, the

SP330020Q5013 Attachment 1 – Statement of Work Page 4 of 5 data shall be deleted from the provider’s cloud environment. To the maximum extent practicable, the provider shall help DLA facilitate the data transfer.

D. Operational and Cyber Security

(1) The contractor is required to apply Operations Security (OPSEC) to enhance protection of classified and critical information (CI) pursuant to DoD Directive 5205.02, "DoD OPSEC Program;

DoD 5205.02-M, "OPSEC Program Manual;" National Security Decision Directive Number 298, "National Operations Security Program;" DLA Instruction 3606.01 “Operations Security (OPSEC) Program," Oct. 03, 2018; DLA Manual 3606.01, "Operations Security (OPSEC)Program," Oct. 10, 2018 ; and supplementary instructions.
