1.0 SCOPE.

This Performance Work Statement (PWS) defines and provides the basic requirements of the general tasks to be performed under this Computer Based Instructional Development III (CBID III) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity Contract (ID/IQC). The U.S. Army Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation (PEO STRI) may procure a range of training product services within the scope of this contract. The agencies CBID III services range from U.S. Army, Joint community, and other Government agencies. The detailed requirements for training product services will be defined in this PWS, as well as defined in Performance Specification/Training System Requirements Document (TSRD) for each specific CBID III ID/IQC Order.

Appendix A defines the acronyms used in this PWS.

1.1 Goals and Objectives:

PEO STRI’s goal is to acquire training utilizing accepted instructional system design standards, simulations, and training product services, and associated training infrastructure.

1.2 Background:

PEO STRI is tasked to procure and support a full range of training product services and simulations, for the overall effort of CBID III. Integral to the success of PEO STRI’s mission is the ability to complete this effort in the most efficient and timely manner possible. ID/IQCs historically result in reasonably priced, quality solutions. The ID/IQ aspect allows PEO STRI and its tasking organization considerable flexibility as an acquisition tool.

1.3 Method of Tasking:

The Government requirements issued under the CBID III ID/IQC will be met through individual ID/IQC Orders.

Individual ID/IQC Orders will be issued based on the Performance Based Work Statement (PBWS) approach.

The Government will prepare an ID/IQC Order level PBWS containing training product services. In addition to the ID/IQC Order level PBWS, the Government may include separate product performance requirements in the form of a TSRD or a performance specification when appropriate. The Government will provide Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL) items (DD Form 1423) defining specific requirements associated with this PWS. A representative summary of CDRLs are provided in Appendix B. CDRLs may be further refined as required by individual ID/IQC Orders issued during any phase of a training intervention's life cycle and include the following all-inclusive CBID III training product services below, as defined in further detail in Appendix C:

a. Interactive Multimedia Instruction (IMI) Training Product Services:

(1) All phases of the Instructional Design Process

(2) Job Task Analysis

(3) Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) Plans

(4) IMI

46.105. The plan shall specify contractor procedures to identify, prevent, and assure non-reoccurrence of quality assurance issues. When required by the individual ID/IQC Order, the contractor shall identify procedures specific to the requirements of each ID/IQC Order.

3.3.10.1 The contractor is responsible for carrying out its obligations under the contract by:

a. Controlling the quality of supplies or services;

b. Tendering to the Government for acceptance only those supplies or services that conform to contract requirements.

c. Ensuring that vendors or suppliers of raw materials, parts, components, subassemblies, etc., have an acceptable quality control system; and,

d. Maintaining substantiating evidence, when required by the contract, that the supplies or services conform to contract quality requirements, and furnishing such information to the Government as required.

3.3.10.2 The control of quality by the contractor may relate to, but is not limited to:

a. Manufacturing processes, to ensure that the product is produced to, and meets, the contract’s technical requirements;

b. Drawings, specifications, and engineering changes, to ensure that manufacturing methods and operations meet the contract’s technical requirements;

c. Testing and examination, to ensure that practices and equipment provide the means for optimum evaluation of the characteristics subject to inspection;

d. Reliability and maintainability assessment (life, endurance, and continued readiness);

e. Fabrication and delivery of products, to ensure that only conforming products are tendered to the Government;

requirements.

The contractor is responsible for performing all inspections and test required by the contract except those specifically reserved for performance by the Government. Although contracts generally make contractors responsible for performing inspection before tendering supplies to the Government, there are situations in which contracts will provide for specialized inspections to be performed solely by the Government. Among situations of this kind are—

Tests that require use of specialized test equipment or facilities not ordinarily available in suppliers’ plants or commercial laboratories (e.g., ballistic testing of ammunition, unusual environmental tests, and simulated service tests); and

Contracts that require Government testing for first article approval (see FAR Subpart 9.3).
