1.0 BACKGROUND

The Maintenance Support Device-Version 4 Rugged (MSD-V4R) program and the Maintenance Support Device-Version 4 Semi-Rugged (MSD-V4S) program has been initiated to produce and field an improved system of at-platform test equipment. The MSD-V4R and MSD-V4S Systems, members of the Integrated Family of Test Equipment (IFTE), are the Army’s next generation of standard general purpose at-platform automatic test equipment. The MSD-V4R and MSD-V4S Systems consist of Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) software and hardware components operating together with system specific software, standard accessories, interconnecting cables, and test adapter modules. These systems shall be used throughout the U. S. Army at all levels of maintenance as the Army’s standard at-platform tester for a wide variety of complex systems.

Additionally, the MSD-V4R and MSD-V4S shall be used to host Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals (IETMs) and Electronic Technical Manuals (ETMs), specific application software, and to upload/download mission data or software. The MSD-V4R and MSD-V4S Systems are intended to support all Army maintainers including ground, armor, aviation, missile, wheeled vehicle, signal/radio, command and control, and other tactical system maintainers. The MSD-V4R and MSD-V4S Systems shall be configured to support various Army weapon systems and platforms with optional and standard accessories. Companion accessories to the MSD-V4R Kit and MSD-V4S Kit include the Smart Wireless Internal Combustion Engine (SWICE) Test Adapter Set and Wireless At-platform Test Set (WATS), although SWICE and WATS are not produced under the MSD-V4R and MSD-V4S contract.

2.0 SCOPE

This Statement of Work (SOW) defines the effort required for the production, test, delivery, storage, and support of the MSD-V4R and MSD-V4S Systems. The contractor shall provide all labor, resources, expertise, facilities, and material necessary to satisfy the requirements of MSD- V4R and MSD-V4S SOW, System Specification in order to produce, test, and deliver MSD-V4R and MSD-V4S Systems and optional accessories. The work required by this contract shall be performed In Accordance With (IAW) System Specification (MIS-DTL-58668). In the event of a conflict between this SOW and MIS-DTL-58668, the MIS-DTL-58668 shall take precedence.

3.0 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

General requirements of this contract include contractor support in the following areas: Program Management (PM), Configuration Management (CM), Logistics, First Article Testing (FAT), Production, and Engineering.

4.0 PROGRAM MANAGEMENT REQUIREMENTS

The contractor shall establish and maintain program management operations that shall include the following areas: program planning and control, subcontractor control, financial management, data management, risk management, and accountability for Government Furnished Equipment (GFE), material or information.

The contractor shall use a program management system to develop and perform to an Integrated Master Plan (IMP) and Integrated Master Schedule (IMS), IAW DI-MGMT-81650, throughout the life of the program. The contractor Program Manager and supporting teams shall support the delivery of accurate and timely schedule and performance information, including IMP and IMS, MIL-MNGMT-SOW.DOC 8 subject to the restrictions on the title page of this proposal to Product Director Test, Measurement and Diagnostic Equipment (PD TMDE) throughout the period of the contract to include units under warranty after the last contractual delivery.

The contractor shall be responsible for leading bi-monthly In-Process Reviews (IPR) to facilitate a common understanding and agreement with the Government on MSD-V4R and MSD-V4S system requirements, actions, and schedules to meet those requirements. Meetings shall be held at the respective places of performance for the manufacture of MSD-V4R and MSD-V4S, contractor's facilities and at PD TMDE facilities, as needed. The contractor shall provide support to conduct these meetings. Government may choose to hold these meetings by telephone conferences or web-enabled conferences. Meetings at PD TMDE facilities can be accommodated through coordination and agreement between Government and contractor.

Technical meetings shall be held as needed for discussion, determinations, and clarifications of technical items and issues. Technical meetings shall be performed through telephone and/or web conferences, person-to-person or group meetings, and/or via electronic mail to help resolve technical items and for clarifications. Technical meetings shall not change the terms of the contract or cause any impacts to the contract. All recommended changes shall be coordinated by notification to the Contracting Officer and shall not be implemented without authorization from the Contracting Officer.

4.1 Start of Work Meetings

Start of Work meetings shall be held for the following general requirements: PM, CM, TM Development, Logistics, Training, FAT, Software/ Cybersecurity, Engineering and Production.

The IMP and IMS shall incorporate start of work meetings and specify criteria and dates, respectively. IMS shall also include In-process Reviews.

Once the contractor has validated the completed Operator's Manual, it is considered a Preliminary Technical Manual (PTM). The PTM consists of the validated content, XML-tagged files, and related illustrations. The Government will review the contractor completed, validated PTM data files to ensure technical accuracy, incorporation of previously reviewed comments, acceptable format, and conformity to the Army maintenance policy, regulations and MSD support requirements.

6.1.11 Verification and Logistics Demonstration (LOGDEMO)

The Government will verify the tagged data files at a Government designated facility.

Verification will be performed on a PTM generated by the Government from the validated XML-

MIL-MNGMT-SOW.DOC 14 subject to the restrictions on the title page of this proposal tagged files. Government’s comments on the validated PTM will be provided to the contractor at or before verification. The Government will verify operating instructions using military personnel with the appropriate Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) performing tasks as detailed in the Operator's PTM. All PMCS tasks will also be verified as described above.
