PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

1.0 INTRODUCTION:

1.1 Background

This requirement supports the United States Army Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Center’s (C5ISR CENTER) Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate Special Products and Prototyping Division

(SPPD).

The SPPD develops unique systems to protect forward troops, fixed installations and rear echelons from enemy intrusion. SPPD develops, prototypes, evaluates, and provides worldwide field support of advanced R&D and specialized sensors for NVESD and other agencies. One of the core competencies being widely accepted across a broad customer range is the Tactical Assault Kit (TAK) for the Department of Defense and the Team Awareness Kit (TAK) for civilian support, collectively referred to as TAK. In addition to being a stand-alone situational awareness tool, TAK also provides a common user interface across a variety of sensors and products that SPPD supports.

TAK began as the Android Tactical Assault Kit or ATAK in 2010. It was a Common Operating Picture (COP) tool that was designed and selected because the cost was significantly less than other options at the time. ATAK communicates through a server on the internet to other devices to share position and a multitude of other information. Over the last several years ATAK has been developed and has become the predominant COP for tactical users at the company level and below throughout the Department of Defense and other government agencies. In its continued development ATAK is now referred to as TAK due to the desire for it to cross over to multiple platforms. Currently, there is a need to further develop TAK in order to allow it to interact with multiple backhaul platforms and local TAK servers. TAK provides Situational Awareness (SA) to all ground, sea, and air forces which prevents fratricide, allows for positive identification of hostile targets, and aides in the synchronization of operations. This is being accomplished through a variety of contracts in varying locations and organizations. NVESD SPPD serves as a program coordinator for this effort, and requires dedicated administrative and technical assistance to coordinate requirements, plans, and efforts that are integral and peripheral to TAK.

Under this contract, the contractor shall support SPPD in the coordination, management and oversight of TAK and other SPPD product development, integration and application. The contractor shall support SPPD by conducting efforts that are non-Government inherent, but allowable as closely related to non-Government inherent work as described in FAR Part 7.503(d).

1.2 Objective

Provide the necessary technical, analytic and operational integration skills across NVESD core competencies to enable and enhance NVESD SPPD ability to develop, prototype, evaluate, and support equipment and systems. These include TAK, TAK related and ancillary equipment, along with a range of non-tactical and tactical sensor products such as biometrics, ground sensors, counter unmanned aerial systems, intrusion detection, alarm assessment, mission command, network devices, tactical radios, radio frequency, electronic warfare, intelligence collection, and others to meet unique user needs.

2.0 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS:

This section describes the general requirements for this effort. The following sub-sections provide details of various considerations on this effort.

2.1 Scope

The contractor shall provide knowledge, skills and other program support to enhance SPPD execution of core activities. These include providing assistance to research and development such as modeling, documenting innovative and prototype products, providing operational and technical analysis, acquisition/procurement support, operational integration assistance, assessment assistance, and to provide other necessary scientific and engineering program support.

The contractor shall remain cognizant of and inform Government regarding the evolving technical state-of-the-art pertaining to TAK, TAK related capabilities, and other SPPD core competencies.

SPPD core competencies include the following: See, acquire, and target opposing forces, day or night, under adverse battlefield environments; Deny the enemy the same capabilities through electro-optic means and/or camouflage, concealment and deception; Provide capabilities for night driving and pilotage; Detect, neutralize, clear and mark explosive hazards including minefields and unexploded ordnance; and Protect forward troops, fixed installations and rear echelons from enemy intrusion (including detecting and countering the intrusion of unmanned systems: air, ground and maritime). SPPD supports NVESD beyond standard research and development providing acquisition and sustainment support, program leadership, specialty engineering expertise, integration and testing services, and certification and accreditation of systems for other Army organizations and systems.

2.2 Place of Performance:

Performance will be at the Contractor’s facilities, other government facilities, Tampa, FL and Ft.

Belvoir VA. Other task specific locations CONUS and OCONUS may be designated by the Government during the performance of the contract. The Contractor will perform services at a location to be specified in the individual Task Order.

2.3 Period of Performance:

The ordering period for the base ID/IQ contract is 5 years (60 Months) from the date of award.

2.4 Recognized / Government Holidays:

Work shall not be required on the following Federal holidays unless specifically identified in a Requirement.

New Year’s Day Martin Luther King Jr. Birthday Presidents Day Memorial Day Independence Day Labor Day Columbus Day Veterans Day Thanksgiving Day Christmas

The contractor shall be required to travel to other government facilities or other contractor facilities in performance of task orders. All travel requirements (including plans, agenda, itinerary, or dates) shall be pre-approved by the government (subject to local policy procedures), and is on a strictly cost reimbursable basis. Costs for travel shall be invoiced in accordance with the Joint Travel Regulation (JTR), regulatory implementation of Public Law 99-234 and FAR 31.205-46 Travel Costs (subject to local policy & procedures; may reference FAR). Contractor fee shall not be applied to travel costs.

Contractors will not be reimbursed for travel within a 50-mile radius. The numbers of trips and types of personnel traveling shall be limited to the minimum required to accomplish work requirements.

2.6 Government - Contractor Relationships

a. The Government and the contractor understand and agree that the services to be delivered under this task order by the contractor to the Government are non-personal services and the parties recognize and agree that no employer-employee relationships exist or will exist under the task order between the Government and the contractor and/or between the Government and the contractor's employees. It is therefore in the best interest of the Government to afford the parties a full and complete understanding of their respective obligations.

b. Contractor personnel under this task order shall not:

(1) be placed in a position where they are appointed or employed by a Federal Officer, or are under the supervision, direction, or evaluation of a Federal Officer, Military or Civilian.

(5) be used in administration or supervision of military procurement activities.

c. Employee Relationships

(1) The services to be performed under this task order do not require the contractor or its employees to exercise personal judgment and discretion on behalf of the Government, but rather the contractor's employees will act and exercise personal judgment and discretion on behalf of the contractor.

(2) Rules, regulations, directions, and requirements which are issued by command authorities under their responsibility for good order, administration, and security are applicable to all personnel who enter any Government installation, or who travel on Government transportation.

This is not to be construed or interpreted to establish any degree of Government control which is inconsistent with a non-personal services task order.

2.7 Identification of Contractor Employees
