PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

MTS Systems Support

Part 1

General Information

The Physical Simulation & Test (PS&T) group performs highly-advanced vehicle characterization and durability tests on the Army’s vehicle fleet. The group leads the Army’s physical simulation effort for ground vehicles by successfully maintaining and operating the PS&T and the Tire, Run-Flat, and Roadwheel Simulation Laboratory. In this capacity, the PS&T regularly tests HMMWVs, MRAPs, Strykers, and trailers, among other vehicles, to validate and verify the durability of whole-vehicle and component systems, such as armor, frames, suspensions, run-flats, tires, and roadwheels.

The Laboratory contains several state-of-the-art physical simulation machines. For instance, the PSL contains three Reconfigurable N-Post Simulators (RNPS), which test the durability of various whole-vehicle systems and suspensions. The Laboratory also contains the Vehicle Inertial Properties Evaluation Rig (VIPER), which measures the center of gravity (CG) and other mass characteristics of whole-vehicle systems. Vehicle designers and test engineers use this data to evaluate various armor configurations, to predict and analyze rollover, to reconstruct accidents, and to examine vehicle stability, handling, and ride, among many other investigations.

The Laboratory also contains the Load Handling System Simulator (LHSS), which evaluates the durability of trailer-mounted water tanks; the Turret Motion Base Simulator (TMBS), which examines both the durability of tank turrets and a user’s response to vehicles within a virtual space; and, the Pintle Motion Base Simulator (PMBS), which verifies the durability of lunette-mounted trailers. These three simulators are highly specialized, and thus contribute to the PS&T unique capabilities. No other facility – within either the automotive community or even the broader physical simulation community – can match the PS&T unique ability to validate the durability and reliability of military-grade ground vehicles.

Soldier safety is a critical concern for Army vehicle designers and MRAP program support engineers. These personnel perform advanced computer-based analytical simulations before the vehicle prototype and production phases to study and develop safe military vehicles. To properly perform these simulations, these critical personnel require accurate data and realistic experimental conditions. As a result, the Tank-Automotive Research, Development, and Engineering Center (TARDEC) it is also required to on call quick laboratory testing that demands Ground Vehicle Simulation Laboratory (GVSL) to be alwasys ready.

Access to the source that will provide equipment support is critical in performing a full test and evaluation of the military vehicles that will improve the safety of MRAPs, Strykers, HMMWVs, Medium Tactical Trucks, and other critical vehicle systems.

The contract manager or alternate shall have full authority to act for the contractor on all contract matters relating to daily operation of this contract. The contract manager or alternate shall be available between 8:00 a.m. to 4:30p.m., Monday thru Friday except Federal holidays or when the government facility is closed for administrative reasons.

1.6.12 Identification of Contractor Employees: All contract personnel attending meetings, answering Government telephones, and working in other situations where their contractor status is not obvious to third parties are required to identify themselves as such to avoid creating an impression in the minds of members of the public that they are Government officials. They must also ensure that all documents or reports produced by contractors are suitably marked as contractor products or that contractor participation is appropriately disclosed. Contractor personnel will be required to obtain and wear badges in the performance of this service.

1.6.13 Organizational Conflict of Interest: Contractor and subcontractor personnel performing work under this contract may receive, have access to or participate in the development of proprietary or source selection information (e.g., cost or pricing information, budget information or analyses, specifications or work statements, etc.) or perform evaluation services which may create a current or subsequent Organizational Conflict of Interests (OCI) as defined in FAR Subpart 9.5. The Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer immediately whenever it becomes aware that such access or participation may result in any actual or potential OCI and shall promptly submit a plan to the Contracting Officer to avoid or mitigate any such OCI. The Contractor’s mitigation plan will be determined to be acceptable solely at the discretion of the

Contracting Officer and in the event the Contracting Officer unilaterally determines that any such OCI cannot be satisfactorily avoided or mitigated, the Contracting Officer may effect other remedies as he or she deems necessary, including prohibiting the Contractor from participation in subsequent contracted requirements which may be affected by the OCI.
