Performance Work Statement for

Global Tactical Advanced Communications Systems (GTACS II) and Services

1.0 SCOPE

The Global Tactical Advanced Communication Systems (GTACS II) and Services contract is a multiple award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract supported by the Program

Executive Office Command, Control and Communications-Tactical (PEO C3T), and Project

Manager Tactical Network (PM Tactical Network).

This Performance Work Statement (PWS) establishes the overarching requirements for

Contractor-provided hardware, software, services and data in support of the PEO C3T Mission which is to develop or procure hardware and software that can be integrated, tested, fielded and supported as networked battle command solutions that enhance Warfighter effectiveness. C3T systems include all programs, projects and products managed within PEO C3T, its Project

Managers (PMs), Product Managers (PdMs) and Product Directors (PDs). This contract vehicle may be used by other agencies and organizations in support of their missions. During the period of performance of the GTACS II contract, it is expected that the organization and needs of PEO

C3T, its PMs, PdMs and PDs will evolve and re-organize in response to the changing needs of the

Warfighter and anticipated threats. The GTACS II program and contract will provide the flexibility and responsiveness needed to support the mission of PEO C3T, its PMs, PdMs and PDs.

The C3T systems hardware includes, but is not limited to: products, systems, and subsystems

(such as: Non-Secure Internet Protocol Router (NIPR), Secure Internet Protocol Router (SIPR), Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communications System (JWICS), CENTCOM Regional

Intelligence Exchange System (CENTRIX), Commercial and Net Equipment, Tactical

Communications Platforms, Mobile Broadband Global Area Network Access Capabilities

(MBAC), Satellite Communications (SATCOM) Terminals (Large, Very Small Aperture

Terminal (VSAT), Hand Held), Highly Mobile Communications, Very High Frequency (VHF), Ultra High Frequency (UHF), Ku-band, Ka-band, C-band, X-band, L-band, Land and Mobile

Radio (LMR) and Mobile satellite services ( e.g., Satellite Phones, Secure Personal Digital

Assistants (PDAs), Cell Service Development). Hardware and engineering services will be specified in applicable Delivery Orders/Task Orders (DOs/TOs). (Note: The terms: Delivery

Order (DO) and Task Order (TO) as used extensively throughout this document have the same meaning as specified in FAR Part 2.) Services may include: systems engineering; hardware and software engineering; development; maintenance; software development, sustainment and support; program management and analysis; logistics; supply chain management; technical field assistance; product and subsystem integration, test and evaluation; modeling and simulation;

information operations/assurance support; fielding and training; facilities management;

administrative support, Help Desks, In-house Engineering Support and On-site Engineering

Support. These services may be performed in conjunction with new and existing Government system of systems, family of systems, platforms, systems, subsystems and items and any

Government application of C3T. Also included in scope are: hardware, software, services and data associated with secure communications such as crypto security, transmission security, emission security, traffic-flow security and physical security. This will also include research, development, acquisition, fielding and sustainment of automated air and missile defense command and control systems, network infrastructure, Army Tactical Shelters, power supply requirements, cooling, heating and dehumidification equipment components, as well as any directly related equipment or integration and/or support services for items that are within scope of the PEO C3T mission. This PWS provides the general requirements. Specific and detail requirements are outlined in Attachments to be used and referenced to when applicable in individual Requests for

Task Execution Plan (RTEP) and corresponding DOs/TOs.

The GTACS II program will compete user requirements among the GTACS II Prime Contractors IAW FAR 16.505 in order to assure the best value to the Government. This will be achieved through the issuance of individual, competitive RTEPs for specific tasking, receipt of Task

Execution Plans (TEPs) in response and award of a DO/TO for each specific GTACS II requirement. As requirement for a particular system/equipment configuration arise, an RTEP will be competed among those Prime Contractors designated in accordance with (IAW) the procedures of the GTACS II contract. Each DO/TO will contain a TEP. The TEP shall provide the details necessary (e.g., hardware, software, services and data) to successfully implement the GTACS II customer requirement. Contractors shall refer to the ordering procedures of the basic contract for instructions and guidance on task orders.
