1.3.2 Delivery Order Effort. This contract has in place various mechanisms to issue unilateral and/or bilateral delivery orders pursuant to the ordering of provisions of the Basic Contract.

1.3.2.1 Firm-Fixed Price Parts (CLINs 0002, 0008, 0014, 0020, and 0026). During the period of performance of this contract, the Government may issue firm-fixed price unilateral delivery orders pursuant to the ordering of provisions of Section I of the contract.

1.3.2.1.1 Order Specifications. These delivery orders will identify the specific part(s) to be delivered, by National Stock Number (NSN), part number, specification or drawing number, as applicable. Delivery orders shall also specify quantities, delivery schedule, shipping points, preservation and packaging requirements, FOB point, and inspection/acceptance point. Government Source Inspection (GSI), First Article Testing, and MIL-PRF-38535 requirements may also be imposed, as appropriate, in individual delivery orders to ensure that the items meet all technical requirements. (CDRLs A004 thru A014 may be invoked on an individual delivery order and if required, the costs will be negotiated under the delivery order)

1.3.2.1.2 Packaging. Preservation and packaging of GEM parts shall be in accordance with the purchase order or other contract vehicle such as a delivery order. Military grade packaging in accordance with MIL-STD- 129P w/CHANGE 4, MIL-STD-2073 and IPC/JEDEC J-STD-609 may be required. Also when specified, the contractor must affix passive Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags, at the case and palletized unit load levels, when shipping certain items to certain DOD locations. The contractor may be required to submit advance shipment notices to DOD via the Wide Area Work Flow (WAWF) system, to permit association of the passive RFID tag data with the corresponding shipment

1.3.2.1.3 New Capabilities. During any portion of the period of performance of this contract the Government may issue unilateral delivery orders for parts such as, but not limited to parts produced on technology extension processes (see 1.3.2.3). Because of the lack of maturity of these processes and the consequent lack of cost data for elements of part production (e.g., process variability, expected production yield, assembly costs and initial quality assurance testing costs) it will not be reasonable to expect the contractor to be able to project the total part cost without significant risk. As such, pricing and elements of costs to be included in the part price will be negotiated with each delivery order. These delivery orders will identify the specific part(s) to be delivered, by National Stock Number (NSN), part number, specification or drawing number, as applicable.

Delivery orders shall also specify quantities, delivery schedule, shipping points, preservation and packaging requirements, FOB point, and inspection/acceptance point. Government Source Inspection (GSI), First Article Testing, and MIL-PRF-38535 requirements may also be imposed, as appropriate, in individual delivery orders to ensure that the items meet all technical requirements.

1.3.2.1.4 Other Emulation Capabilities. During any portion of the period of performance of this contract the Government may issue unilateral delivery orders for parts from other DLA-developed emulation capabilities (see 1.3.1.1.h). These delivery orders may be, but are not limited, to emulated parts deemed to be in a limited production status. Because of the lack of maturity of these processes and the consequent lack of cost data for elements of part production (e.g., process variability, expected production yield, assembly costs, and initial quality assurance testing costs) it will not be reasonable to expect the contractor to be able to project the total part cost without significant risk. As such, pricing and elements of costs to be included in the part price will be negotiated with each delivery order. Exact specifications of the emulated devices will be described at the time of ordering.

1.3.2.2 Government Furnished Property (GFP) / Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) (CLINs 0003, 0009, 0015, 0021, and 0027). The Government may request the contractor purchase, rent, or lease tools and/or measuring equipment to maintain or upgrade present GEM capabilities as described in paragraph 1.3.1.1 to design and produce GEM parts.

1.3.2.2.1. Ordering. After the equipment requirement is identified, the Contractor will send pricing information to the designated Procurement Contracting Officer (PCO) and designated Contracting Officer Representative (COR). The PCO, or the COR, if authority is delegated by the PCO, may approve the purchase of the required equipment up to the estimated cost for each program year, as outlined and funded via Government Furnished Property (GFP) / Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) Contract Line Item Number (CLINs 0003, 0009, 0015, 0021, and 0027). The Government will retain title to any equipment purchased under such contract actions as GFP or GFE.

1.3.2.3 Engineering Services/ Technology and Design Extensions (CLINs 0004, 0010, 0016, 0022, and 0028).

During any portion of the period of performance of this contract the Government may issue unilateral delivery orders to make GEM capabilities available to other Government entities and for additional Government requirements, which were not known at the time of contract award.

1.3.2.3.1 GEM engineering services (see 1.3.1.6) such as, but not limited to reviewing obsolescence studies to determine GEM applicability and services related to testing or compatibility of GEM devices may also be ordered under a delivery order. Although this activity is generally performed as part of the Core Effort (see 1.3.1), it may also be ordered separately under a delivery order.

1.3.2.3.2 GEM technology extensions such as, but not limited to covering additional microcircuit families by base array development, design modification or process enhancement may also be ordered under a delivery order, when approved by the Government Program Manager. Although this activity is generally performed as part of the Core Effort (see 1.3.1), it may also be ordered separately under a delivery order.

1.3.2.3.3 GEM design efforts including, but not limited to reverse engineering, performance requirement determination, and circuit design; with or without engineering samples and with or without fully qualified production quantities, when approved by the Government Program Manager. Engineering samples or prototype parts for application testing may also be ordered, when approved by the Government Program Manager. Although this activity is generally performed as part of the Core Effort (see 1.3.1), it may also be ordered separately under a delivery order.

1.3.2.4. Warstopper Program Effort (CLINs 0005, 0011, 0017, 0023, and 0029). The Government may utilize the Warstopper Program to purchase and update equipment technology for future use by the GEM Production Program at the contractor’s (SRI International, Inc.: CAGE 03652) facility in Princeton, NJ in conjunction with the DLA’s long-term acquisition plan to replace critical production and testing equipment for the Generalized Emulation of Microcircuits (GEM) program. When requirements are earmarked for purchase using Warstopper Funding, the Government will submit Request for Proposals (RFPs) to the contractor for the required Government Furnished Property (GFP) / Government Furnished Equipment (GFE). The purchase of the required equipment will be completed via individual delivery order under each program year’s Warstopper CLIN (CLINs 0006, 0012, 0018, 0024, and 0030. The Government will retain title to any equipment purchased under such contract actions as GFP or GFE.

1.3.3 Management. The contractor shall assign a Manager (herewith designated as a key person) to the GEM Production Program. He/she shall be responsible for direct technical communication with the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR), the GEM Production Program Manager, and any other Contracting Officer designated Government personnel. Due to the highly skilled technical nature of the GEM Program’s tasking, all technical personnel possessing Bachelor’s degrees and above shall be designated as key personnel. Any proposed changes in key personnel shall be submitted in writing (with full resume) to the Contracting Officer for consideration no later than 30 days prior to the proposed date of personnel change. All key personnel changes must be approved by the Contracting Officer in writing prior to the change of personnel. A listing (accompanied by full resumes) of all key personnel performing under the GEM Program shall be provided to the Contracting Officer upon initiation of the contract.
