SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION C - DESCRIPTIONS AND SPECIFICATIONS

The following have been modified:

STATEMENT OF WORK

C. DESCRIPTIONS AND SPECIFICATIONS for ULCANS – Increment I

C.1. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

C.1.1. Scope: This Statement of Work (SOW) describes the design, test, fabrication, schedule, performance requirements, and deliverables required for the ULCANS Increment I effort.

C.1.2. Technical: The ULCANS Increment I is being developed as a replacement to the legacy ULCANS camouflage system. ULCANS Increment I is a multi-spectral camouflage system that is quickly and easily erected and disassembled by dismounted personnel to conceal stationary vehicles, weapons systems, and equipment.

ULCANS Increment I is applied to all vehicles and systems in the operational force and conceals them from detection by the enemy. ULCANS Increment I is employed throughout entire operational themes from peacetime military engagement to major combat operations, and provides U.S. forces the ability to quickly employ camouflage, rapidly respond to changing tactical situations, and reduce battlefield signatures. Military forces operating in all types of environments and terrain, across the full spectrum of military operations (i.e., operations at the operational and tactical levels including offensive/defensive operations before, during and after hostilities) require capabilities to camouflage equipment and critical fixed facilities for force protection that enhance assault and tactical flexibility.

The complete technical performance requirements and specifications for the ULCANS Increment I system are located in Attachment B-1, PRF 32575.

C.1.3. Contract Outline and Sequence of Events: The contractor will be provided with non-proprietary data and hardware resulting from the developmental work accomplished to date by the government. This may include solid models, drawings, test reports, prototype screens, support system, and packaging. See Section H for specifics of Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) and Government Furnished Information (GFI). This provides the contractor with the preliminary system designs, but ultimately, the contractor shall be responsible for designing and fabricating ULCANS Increment I systems that meet all of the requirements of this contract and the performance specification (Attachment B-1, PRF 32575).

C.1.3.1 For the purposes of this contract, the ULCANS – Increment I System will be defined as all the parts and pieces that make up a fully functional ULCANS Increment I with all Components of the End Item (COEI) and Basic Issue Items (BII). The ULCANS Increment I System will include Screens, Support System (e.g. poles, stakes, shape disrupters, adapters), Screen Bag, Pole Bag, Stake Bag, and Repair Kit.

C.1.3.2. This overall developmental effort will consist of two phases. The first phase will be the completion of the design of the three sub-systems: 1) Screens, 2) Support System, and 3) Packaging. All three subsystems will be interoperable even if provided by different subcontractors. After successful completion of the Preliminary Design Review (PDR) (C.4.2.1), the contractor will be given approval to proceed with fabrication of the prototypes. Once government approval is granted, the contractor shall proceed to fabricate the Prototype ULCANS Increment I Systems as specified in the Delivery Order (DO).

C.1.3.3. The ULCANS variants to be covered by this contract shall be of the following types and classes as specified:

Type I – G C C C

Type II – G C

C.4.2. In Design Review Meetings and Information Packages: The contractor shall conduct a minimum of two design reviews (Preliminary and Critical) on each component of the ULCANS Increment I System with the government. Additional reviews shall be scheduled as needed. The design review schedule shall be proposed by the contractor and mutually agreed upon by government. The contractor shall propose design review dates that support it’s IMS (See C.1.6.) for meeting delivery dates of the contract. A minimum of 14 calendar days after each review shall be given to the government for providing comments and concerns regarding the design. Government concerns and comments shall be resolved as part of the Contractor’s Design Review Information Packages and shall be submitted to the government.

C.4.2.1. Preliminary Design Review (PDR): The purpose of the Preliminary Design Review is to ensure that the design and basic system architecture are sufficiently complete to demonstrate a technical confidence that the performance requirements will be satisfied within cost and schedule goals. At the time of the Preliminary Design Review, the contractor shall have identified at least the system functions and major component functions needed to meet the requirements of PRF 32575 and have applied performance requirements to each function. The contractor shall also present details of its findings thus far on the effectiveness of component and subcomponent hardware and software items in meeting the functional and performance requirements. The presentation format and content will be of the contractor's choosing, but must be sufficient to support the purpose of the PDR. The intent is for separate PDRs for the Screens, Support System, and Packaging; however, the contractor or government may recommend combining the PDRs. A combination PDR will be a mutual decision.

C.4.2.2. Critical Design Review (CDR): The purpose of the Critical Design Review is to confirm that the system design is stable and is expected to meet system performance requirements, confirms the system is on track to achieve cost goals as evidenced by the detailed design documentation, and establishes the system’s initial product baseline. A successful Critical Design Review will provide the contractor authority to proceed with developmental component and/or system fabrication. The presentation format and content will be of the contractor's choosing, but must be sufficient to support the purpose of the CDR. The intent is for separate CDRs for the Screens, Support System, and Packaging for the ULCANS Increment I System, however, the contractor or government may recommend combining the CDRs. A combination CDR will be a mutual decision.

C.4.3. Production Readiness Reviews (PRR): Two production readiness reviews shall be conducted. The first shall be conducted 30 days prior to initiation of fabrication of the Production Qualification Test Units. The purpose of this review will be to verify that all lessons learned to date have been incorporated into the design of the ULCANS Increment I and that the contractor is ready to begin fabrication of the Production Qualification Test (PQT) Units.

The second PRR shall be conducted after all changes made to correct deficiencies uncovered during PQT have been incorporated and after government acceptance of PQT Report. The contractor shall coordinate the scheduling of the PRR with the government. The contractor shall provide a minimum of 21 days advance notice for scheduling. The purpose of this review shall be to verify that the lessons learned from PQT have been incorporated into the design and technical data, update quality assurance processes, and to demonstrate the contractor’s readiness to produce the ULCANS Increment I system. The review will focus on PQT results, resolution of any required changes, readiness of the logistics deliverables, Quality Assurance processes, and any additional equipment procurement that is required. The exact date, location, and administrative arrangements for this meeting shall be made through communication between the contractor and the government. The presentation format and content will be of the contractor's choosing, but must be sufficient to support the purpose of the PRR.

C.4.4. In-Process Reviews (IPR): IPRs shall be conducted as a part of program status monitoring and control.

Technical Publication, Provisioning, Training, technical/engineering, quality assurance, and other necessary IPRs shall be conducted to clarify requirements, assure conformance to contract requirements, provide guidance, review deliverable status, and to help ensure deliverables are prepared in a manner that will satisfy contractual requirements. The contractor may request an IPR when government assistance or clarification is desired. The government may require IPRs irrespective of the program schedule and shall notify the contractor of a government required IPR at least 10 calendar days prior to the event.
