REVISED 20 Mar 02

 

The term “contractor” shall mean “subcontractor.” The term “contract” shall mean “subcontract.”

 

1.0         INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND

 

1.1.1                        The U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command (USASMDC), Program Executive Office-Air and Missile Defense (PEO-AMD), and Ground-Based Midcourse Defense Joint Program Office (GMDJPO) have been directed to participate in vigorous Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) technology programs, including air, space, and missile defense. The USASMDC, the NMDJPO, and PEO-AMD missions are to conduct a coordinated research and development program in accordance with Department of Defense (DoD), Missile Defense Agency (MDA), and Army guidance. The goal of services hereby obtained is to ensure a timely, energetic, and cost effective development of technologies for defense against evolving threats; to coordinate all technology base development to maximize benefits for strategic and theater missile defense and air/space technology programs; and to ensure programs are in regulatory compliance. The USASMDC, PEO-AMD, and GMDJPO act to manage the Army’s research and development effort, to advance the technologies of ballistic missile defense, air and space technology, and to provide a system technology base for a range of future defense applications. These programs evolve around seven major functions:

 

1.1.1.1               Requirements Definition, Integration, and Planning

 

1.1.1.2               Technology Development, System Development, Assessment, and Validation

 

1.1.1.3               Threat Estimation/Projections

 

1.1.1.4               Weapons Lethality and Effects Estimation

 

1.1.1.5               Modeling, Simulation, and Interfacing

 

1.1.1.6               Program/Project Analysis, Evaluation, Experimentation, and Support

 

1.1.1.7               Production and Fielding Support

 

Page 5 of 49

 

Revised per Mod 2 dated May 14, 2002

 



 

BAE SYSTEMS

 

1.1.2                        The programs are continually changing based on evolving technology, new doctrine, and changing government emphasis.  Current emphasis is to research, evaluate, prove the effectiveness of various components and systems, and support production and fielding. The USASMDC, PEG-AMD, and GMDJPO have structured research programs integrating an extremely wide range of technologies and support functions into system concepts and/or hardware components/system platforms. In addition to DoD elements and participating government agencies, many industrial firms, large and small, are also involved as government contractors. The purpose of this contract is to obtain systems engineering and technical assistance for USASMDC, PEO-AMD, and GMDJPO and other associated air, space, and missile defense organizations related to the many tasks and projects which fall within the broad categories of air, space, and missile defense activities under the missions of those agencies, as they are defined by Higher Headquarters, Congress, and the Department of Defense.

 

2.0         SCOPE AND GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

 

2.1.1                        The general areas to be supported for the duration of the contract are set forth in this Scope of Work.  These areas are not meant to be definitive, but rather, represent in summary form the general areas to be supported.  Therefore, the SOW is deemed to be a basic expression of the contract requirement.  Specific performance requirements will be set forth in Task Orders (T/Os) issued under the contract. The T/Os may be issued for USASMDC, PEO-AMD, GMDJPO, other associated air, space, and missile defense organizations, or as directed by higher Headquarters, in support of their current Mission and Function Statements.

 

2.1.2                        The contractor shall conduct studies, and provide concept system definition and related documentation to support the study results; provide independent analyses, simulations, technological assessments; and perform other related tasks in systems definition, experiments, technology demonstration, system development, and production and fielding. The contractor shall analyze, critique, and assess the adequacy, timeliness, and cost effectiveness of work performed by other contractors. The contractor shall identify issues and shall formulate and provide alternatives for issue resolution. The contractor shall have a working knowledge of the DoD 5000 acquisition milestone review process and shall be knowledgeable of initiatives in the acquisition arena.

 

2.1.3                        The contractor shall implement the SETAC Operations Security (OPSEC)/TEMPEST Plan in performance of any portion of the contract requiring OPSEC.   The plan, as updated, shall continue to conform to the requirements of the DD Form 1423 and further instructions contained in the current AR 530-1.

 

2.1.4                        In performing this SOW, the contractor may be required to interact with USASMDC, PEO-AMD, and GMDJPO, with other contractors, and with various other governmental agencies, as designated by T/O statements of work. Such interaction shall be conducted only to the extent addressed in the specific T/O or routine technical discussions with the task order monitor (T/OM).

 

2.1.5                        Changes in emphasis and significant changes in program direction are inevitable with respect to approved projects. The contractor shall be responsive to such changes as they are defined by the issuance of T/Os. Therefore, the contractor shall be responsive to new, revised, or terminated effort.

 

2.1.6                        The contractor shall perform specific work as directed, and funded, by individual T/Os. Each T/O will include, at a minimum, the estimated Direct Productive Person Hours (DPPHs) for the fixed-price labor categories and the cost-reimbursable consultant category; the applicable funding; the T/O ceiling for labor, consultant, travel, and materials; the period of performance; the required deliverables; the T/O statement of work; and any special instructions applicable to the given T/O.

 

2.1.7                        The contractor shall provide a Task Order Management Plan (T/OMP) which shall define a management system to plan and control the SETAC effort under each specific T/O.  The T/OMP must

 

Page 6 of 49

BAE SYSTEMS

 

delineate how the contractor plans to accomplish the effort supporting the specific T/O, to include a breakout of DPPHs, travel, required material, a milestone schedule, and a schedule for the planned expenditure of funds.

 

2.1.8                        The contractor shall prepare and deliver to the government the technical data in accordance with the requirements and schedules set forth in the SDRL DD Form 1423.  It is not the intent of the government to have new data formats prepared where existing ones may suffice. Thus, contractor-internal procedures, which are acceptable to the Contracting Officer as equivalent to the requirements of data item(s), DD Form 1664, may be used for submittal to the government.

 

2.1.9                        The contractor shall host and conduct status meetings at his facility. These meetings, as scheduled by specific T/O, shall be structured to provide the government with an up-to-date status of the contractor’s technical and programmatic progress. Following each such meeting, the contractor shall prepare a report for Government approval, as required.

 

2.1.10                  The contractor shall maintain all Contractor Acquired Property (CAP) and Government Furnished Property/Equipment (GFP/GFE) in an operational state.

 

3.0         CONTRACTOR REQUIREMENTS

c.               Invoices shall be prepared in such a manner that only one Task Order (T/O) (or sub-task or BAE SYSTEMS charge number as specified in each T/O) is addressed on each page.  Both “current” and

 

Page 12 of 49

 

Revised per Mod 2 dated May 14, 2002

 



 

BAE SYSTEMS

 

“cumulative” data for labor category title, labor rates, hours and amounts will be provided on each T/O invoice.

 

d.              With regards to costs reimbursable SLINS, the subcontractor shall separately identify the costs associated for material and travel on both a current period and cumulative basis.

 

e.               The subcontractor must submit T/O invoices once per month.  (See paragraphs h. and i. below for exceptions).

 

f.                 Except for indirect rate adjustments and prior periods’ (or year) adjustments, invoices must be submitted within forty-five (45) days after month-end for which the cost are recorded.

 

g.              The subcontractor shall substantiate invoices by evidence of actual payment and by individual daily job timecards, or other substantiation acceptable to BAE SYSTEMS.  Such substantiation data shall be maintained and readily available for Government audit purposes, but need not be included with the invoice submitted to BAE SYSTEMS.  Subcontractor shall maintain a MIS system that should be adequate for purposes of validating payment.  Documentation shall be maintained in accordance with Subcontractor’s standard practices, subject to DCAA approval.

 

h.              BAE SYSTEMS strongly encourages subcontractors to utilize our “WInS” web-based invoicing system, which can be found at https://bizport.mevatec.com/wins/wins.aspx. If the Subcontractor elects to utilize this invoicing system, BAE SYSTEMS will:

 

(1)                    waive all SDRL financial reporting unless specified otherwise in a task order and if invoice is submitted within 30 days after month-end for which the cost are recorded;

(2)                    allow bi-weekly billing; and

(3)                    treat web-based invoices as priority processing enabling your invoices to be incorporated into our accounting system more quickly for our invoicing to the government.

 

The WInS is currently in beta-testing. However, BAE SYSTEMS believes this user-friendly, intuitive invoice system will streamline invoice processing and payments. Any questions regarding the system should be addressed to the designated Subcontracts Administrator.

 

i.                  For T/Os which have Cost Reimbursable provisions only, the Subcontractor shall submit a Completion Invoice (so marked as “Completion Invoice”), promptly upon completion of the work, but no later than six months from the completion date.  The final invoice shall become due within three months from the time Subcontractor has negotiated with DCAA or its ACO of its final audited or quick close-out indirect rates. Upon concurrence by BAE SYSTEMS and/or approval by DCAA, and the subcontractor’s compliance with all terms of this subcontract, BAE SYSTEMS shall pay any balance of allowable costs not previously paid, subject to available Subcontract T/O remaining funding.

 

j.                  The subcontractor, and each assignee under an assignment entered into under this subcontract and in effect at the time of final payment on a specific T/O issued under this subcontract, shall execute and deliver, at the time of, and as a condition precedent to, any final T/O payment under this subcontract, a release discharging BAE SYSTEMS, its officers, agents, and employees, of and from all liabilities, obligations, and claims arising out of, or under, the specific task order, consistent with the FAR-required release that BAE SYSTEMS must provide to the Government. See Section G-7 and Attachment 4.

H-3.5                    CONTINUATION OF DOD CONTRACTOR SERVICES AT GOVERNMENT FACILITIES WITHIN CONUS:

 

1.                                       Subcontractor personnel who normally provide services at government facilities and who are designated as emergency personnel by a DoD Component are expected to use all means at their disposal to continue to provide such services, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contract, during periods of crisis situations.

 

2.                                       To ensure that emergency personnel services under the subcontract are performed and/or delivered by the subcontractor during times of heightened security and/or limited access to a government facility, the Task Order Monitor/Technical Monitor and prime contractor/subcontractor in coordination with the Contracting Officer may enter into an agreement that the hours/duties specified in the subcontract/Task Order may be worked at varying times and locations as long as such is consistent with the Government’s requirement and will have no negative impact on the quality of the effort to be performed. The Task Order/Technical Monitor shall immediately seek approval of the Contracting Officer of any such agreement.

 

3.                                       The Contracting Officer may take any of the following actions, depending on the severity and length of the situation:

 

a.                                       In accordance with FAR 52.242-15, the Contracting Officer may, at any time, issue a written stop-work order to stop all or any part of the work called for under the subcontract. If a stop work order is issued, the subcontractor is required to take all reasonable steps to minimize the incurrence of costs allocable to the stopped work.

 

b.                                      Direct subcontractor personnel designated mission essential emergency personnel to report to their duty station at government facilities as usual for continuing work not subject to any stop work order.

 

c.                                       Direct non-essential subcontractor personnel who normally work at government facilities to report to their corporate office as their temporary duty station for work not subject to any stop work order.

 

d.                                      Direct, on a case-by-ease basis, non-essential subcontractor personnel who normally work at government facilities to telecommute for performance of work not subject to any stop work order.

 

4.                                       For Task Orders performed under emergency situations within CONUS, the hours worked shall be billed at the rates specified in the Task Order, regardless of where performance takes place. This provision in no way relieves the subcontractor from performance of the direct productive person hours (DPPHs) as stated in the Task Order.

 

5.                                       When required in emergency/crisis situations, the subcontractor shall report daily to the Technical Monitor through BAE SYSTEMS the status and location of all DoD subcontractor employees. The Technical Monitor shall relay such information to the Contracting Officer.

 

6.                                       Nothing in this provision shall be construed to change any element of the subcontract or the terms and conditions therein.

H-4                            ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST CLAUSE

 

a.               It is recognized by the parties hereto that the effort to be performed by the subcontractor under this subcontract includes advisory and assistance services; a myriad of systems engineering efforts; support in the preparation of specifications and work statements; technical evaluation of other subcontractors products and services; and access to other subcontractors’ proprietary information.  Consequently, performance of this subcontract creates potential organizational conflicts of interest such as are contemplated by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 9.505. It is the intention of the parties that the subcontractor will not engage in any other contractual or other activities which could create an organizational conflict of interest with its position under this subcontract; which might impair its ability to render unbiased advice and recommendations; or in which it may derive an unfair competitive advantage as a result of knowledge, information, and experience gained during the performance of this subcontract.  Therefore, the subcontractor agrees that it will seek the prior written approval of both the SETAC Contracting Officer and the Contracting Officer on the other acquisition before participating in any U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command (USASMDC), including U.S. Army Space Command (ARSPACE) and High Energy Laser Systems Test Facility (HELSTF); USASMDC-Washington (USASMDC-W); Program Executive Office-Air and Missile Defense (PEO-AMD); National Missile Defense Joint Program Office (NMDJPO); or Missile Defense Agency (MDA) contract as a contractor, subcontractor, or consultant to provide material, equipment or services.  Prime contractors will be subject to this restriction, except as a source for any competitive follow-on acquisitions for the Systems Engineering and Technical Assistance Contract (SETAC) or on a sole-source basis under other prime contracts with the Government.  The SETAC Contracting Officer will consider the requests for written approval on a case-by-case basis. This provision shall have effect throughout the period of performance of this subcontract, any extensions thereto by change order or supplemental agreement, and for one (1) year thereafter. Participation in any acquisition described above, without express written approval from the SETAC Contracting Officer through BAE SYSTEMS may be grounds for termination of the subcontract. The Government may disqualify the subcontractor for subsequent related contractual efforts and pursue such other remedies as may be permitted by law or this subcontract, upon determination that an OCI has occurred.

 

b.              The effort to be performed under this subcontract includes providing systems engineering and technical direction; input to preparation of specifications and scopes of work; assistance to the Government or BAE SYSTEMS during technical evaluations of other subcontractors’ offers and products; and access to third-party proprietary information. Such activities create a significant potential for certain conflicts of interest, as set forth in FAR 9.505-1, 9.505-2, 9.505-3, and 9.505-4. It is the intention of the parties hereto to prevent both the potential for bias in connection with the subcontractor’s performance of this subcontract, as well as the creation of any unfair competitive advantage as a result of knowledge gained through access to third-party proprietary information,

 

c.               Whenever performance of this subcontract requires access to another contractor’s proprietary information, the subcontractor shall (i) enter into a written agreement with the other entities involved, as appropriate, in order to protect such proprietary information from unauthorized use or disclosure for as long as it remains proprietary; and (ii) refrain from using such proprietary information other than as agreed to, for example to provide assistance during technical evaluation of other subcontractors’ offers or products under this subcontract. An executed copy of all Proprietary Information Agreements by individual personnel or on a corporate basis shall be furnished to the Contracting Officer through BAE SYSTEMS within ten (10) calendar days of execution.

 

d.              In addition, the subcontractor shall inculcate upon its employees, through appropriate means (such as formal training and promulgation of company policies and procedures) the principles of FAR Subpart 9.5. Such inculcation shall include, but not be limited to, training to ensure that employees refrain from using or disclosing proprietary information except as provided by executed agreement or as allowed by the

BAE SYSTEMS

 

subcontract. Further, the subcontractor shall obtain from each of its employees, whose anticipated responsibility in connection with the work under this subcontract may be reasonably expected to involve access to such proprietary information, a written agreement, which, in substance, shall provide that such employee will not, during its employment by the subcontractor, or thereafter, improperly disclose such data or information.

 

e.               The subcontractor shall hold the government and BAE SYSTEMS harmless and will freely indemnify the government and BAE SYSTEMS as to any cost/loss resulting from the unauthorized use or disclosure of any third-party proprietary information by its employees, the employees of subcontractors, or by its agents.

 

f.                 For breach of any of the above restrictions or for nondisclosure or misrepresentation of any relevant facts required to be disclosed concerning this subcontract, BAE SYSTEMS reserves the right to terminate this subcontract for default; the Government may disqualify the subcontractor for subsequent related contractual efforts and pursue such other remedies as may be available under law. If in compliance with this clause, the Subcontractor discovers and promptly reports an organizational conflict of interest subsequent to subcontract award, BAE SYSTEMS may choose to undertake termination of this subcontract, when such termination is deemed to be in the best interest of the government or BAE SYSTEMS.

 

g.              The subcontractor will include the same provisions as are expressed in this clause, including this paragraph, in all subcontracts awarded for performance of any portion of this requirement. Subcontract restrictions may be limited, however, to the technical area(s) addressed in the specific statement of work in the subcontractors’ given task orders. The subcontractor shall not participate in any USASMDC, including ARSPACE and HELSTF; USASMDC-W; PEO-AMD; NMDJPO; or MDA contract in the applicable technical area(s) without written approval of the SETAC Contracting Officer through BAE SYSTEMS. This restriction is applicable throughout the period of performance of the subcontract, and any extensions thereof by change order or supplemental agreement, and for one (1) year thereafter. When the provisions of this clause are included in a subcontract, the term “contracting officer” shall represent the head of the Contracts Office of the prime contract. Any deviations or less restrictive coverage deemed necessary or required by the prime contractor for a particular subcontract must first be submitted to the Government Contracting Officer through BAE SYSTEMS for approval. Subcontractors, on a case-by-case basis, may make a request through the prime contractor for a revision to the SETAC OCI clause restrictions outlined above.

 

h.              The subcontractor and any of its SETAC subcontractors agree to follow the requirements of the OCI Mitigation Plan incorporated in Section J of this subcontract.

 

H-5                            LABOR CATEGORY DEFINITIONS

 

The applicable government labor categories are shown at Attachment 7 to this subcontract.

 

H-6                            MANAGEMENT PLANNING AND CONTROL

BAE SYSTEMS

 

c.               Following subcontract award, the Government reserves the right to have a representative(s) visit the subcontractor’s facility to ascertain that the MCS meets the above-stated requirements and has been properly implemented on this subcontract.

 

H-7                          MATERIALS AND SPECIAL TEST EQUIPMENT (STE)

 

a.             It is not the intent of BAE SYSTEMS to facilitize any subcontractor performing this subcontract.  In accordance with FAR 45, the subcontractor shall provide all resources necessary to perform the task orders issued hereunder.

 

b.            The Materials SLIN of this subcontract allows for the purchase of consumable materials, STE, and materials required to fabricate a deliverable end-item for the Government.  Unless specific written or email approval is included in the MATERIALS section of a given task order, all materials that the subcontractor intends to direct charge to the subcontract/task order requires the prior written approval of the SETAC Contracting Officer through BAE SYSTEMS.

 

c.             Prior to the purchase or lease of any of the following materials, and services therefore, the subcontractor must obtain the written approval of the Contracting Officer through BAE SYSTEMS:

 

                  Automated Data Processing Equipment (ADPE)/Computer Hardware and Firmware;

                  ADPE Support Equipment;

                  Printing and Reproduction equipment

                  Software;

                  Telecommunications Equipment;

                  Support services for any/all of the above; and

                  All other items which the subcontractor intends to direct charge to the subcontract or which could potentially be considered to fall within the parameters of the FAR 45.301 definition of facilities.

 

H-8                            MINIMUM PERSONNEL REQUIREMENTS

 

During the performance of this subcontract, the subcontractor shall ensure that each individual charged to any task order (T/O) issued hereunder meets or exceeds the minimum requirements stated for the government labor category to which that individual is charged.

 

H-9                            USE OF NON-U.S. CITIZENS

 

a.             Prior approval to use non-U.S. citizens on this subcontract must be obtained from the USASMDC Contracting Officer and USASMDC Foreign Disclosure Officer (FDO).

 

b.            When requesting approval for a non-U.S. citizen to be granted access to the subcontract, the application shall be submitted through BAE SYSTEMS and include the individual’s full name, date and place of birth, social security account number, and official status within the U.S.

 

c.             If approval is granted, U.S. Export Laws still apply and the subcontractor must obtain required export licenses.

 

d.            The subcontractor is not authorized to release any data to foreign nationals or foreign representatives without an approved export license.  Subcontracting with foreign industry is not allowed under this subcontract.

e.             The subcontractor is not authorized to release information, orally, visually, or documentary to anyone not associated with this subcontract.

 

H-10                       ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST REGARDING PREVIOUSLY-SUPPLIED PRODUCTS

 

a.             A potential exists for the prime contractor, or one of the subcontractors, for this effort to become involved with work under a Task Order (T/O) that raises the potential for a violation of the Organizational Conflict of Interest rule defined by FAR 9.505-3(a), namely the appearance of bias related to self- assessment. Such would include technical evaluations of that firm’s (or an affiliate’s) proposal and reviews to assess the designs, or other development products, that such firm (or an affiliate) has previously delivered under a Government contract.

 

b.            The subcontractor shall actively assist BAE SYSTEMS to avoid such situations by adopting a practice (at the prime and subcontractor levels) of carefully screening all T/Os and technical direction received to identify any performance element that involves a self-evaluation conflict.

 

c.             The subcontractor shall promptly notify the Subcontracts Administrator in writing of any conflict discovered, and shall also refrain from undertaking the effort in question pending further direction from the Contracting Officer through BAE SYSTEMS.  This notice may propose an alternate performer, who must be an entity that is independent from the entity with the conflict.  If approved by the Contracting Officer, such alternate shall be utilized and the resulting work product shall be delivered directly to the Government to ensure that a truly unbiased evaluation has been provided.

 

H-11                     PRE-CONTRACT COSTS

 

The offeror is expressly informed that it will not be reimbursed for any costs incurred prior to the effective date of any task order issued hereunder, unless such costs are specifically authorized in writing by the SETAC Contracting Officer through BAE SYSTEMS.

 

H-12                     REIMBURSEMENT OF OTHER DIRECT COSTS

 

a.              Travel Reimbursement:

 

(1)          BAE SYSTEMS will reimburse the Subcontractor for TDY/nonlocal travel as determined to be necessary for the performance of assigned tasks and as included in the fully-executed task order or as approved by the Task Order Monitor within his/her authority as granted in the subcontract and his/her task order.

 

(2)          BAE SYSTEMS will reimburse the Subcontractor for actual transportation fare via the most direct routes (non-first class) between place of origin and destination.  Cost for delays enroute (excluding Government-caused delays, unavoidable airline schedule delays, and major acts of nature causing an unavoidable delay) will not be reimbursed.  Per diem will be paid at Joint Travel Regulation (JTR) rates.  To the extent available, suitable Government quarters, messing, and surface transportation facilities may be used.  Indirect expenses are allowable if travel costs are normally part of the Subcontractor’s allocation base.

 

(3)          BAE SYSTEMS will not reimburse the Subcontractor for local travel.  Local travel is defined as travel within the area of a 50-mile radius of the primary place of performance.

(11)    Government Billeting (GS-13/14 level).

 

H-14                     TASK ORDER PROCEDURE

 

a.               In accordance with the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act (FASA), requirements for advisory and assistance services in excess of three years and $10M will be filled utilizing Multiple Award, Task Order, ID/IQ contract procedures.  Prime Contractor selection for each task will, therefore, be accomplished as a separate action for each T/O issued under the prime contracts.

 

b.              The subcontractor shall incur costs under this subcontract only in the performance of Task Orders (T/Os) and modifications to T/Os issued by the BAE SYSTEMS Subcontracts Administrator in

 

Page 35 of 49

 

Revised per Mod 2 dated May 14, 2002

 



 

BAE SYSTEMS

 

accordance with this procedure. No other costs are authorized without the express written consent of BAE SYSTEMS.

 

c.               Without the written approval of BAE SYSTEMS, the subcontractor shall not exceed a T/O ceiling costs by SLIN or be outside the plus/minus ten percent (10%) range of the planned DPPHs as specified in each T/O.  Any changes to task content, available funding, total DPPHs, T/O ceilings, NTE amounts, schedules, and deliverables shall be documented by a signed modification to the task order.

 

d.              Upon receipt of a “Task Order” (T/O) document to BAE SYSTEMS, BAE SYSTEMS will provide the affected subcontractor a copy of the T/O for Supplies or Services.

 

e.               The T/O document will be issued by the Subcontracts Administrator to the Subcontractor incorporating, as a minimum, (i) a detailed description of the task/subtasks to be performed; (ii) all deliverable items; (iii) the overall period of performance; (iv) listing of any government-furnished property to be provided/utilized; and (v) if Government-site support is anticipated.  Deliverables may consist of charts, reports, briefing notes, tabulations, view graphs, computer software, materials, and presentation, as appropriate.

 

f.                 The Subcontractor shall submit a Task Order Management Plan (T/OMP) within three (3) working days after receiving the T/O.  The Subcontractor shall NOT reiterate the T/O, but shall concentrate the T/OMP narrative on the approach and rationale supporting the approach.  Personnel proposed shall be supported in terms of rationale/basis for selection, qualifications, and relevance of qualifications.  The T/OMP shall provide the subcontractor’s detailed approach to accomplishing the requirements of the task, as well as the proposed breakout of DPPHs by labor category and by month for the overall period of performance of the T/O.  Government Labor Categories (GLC) proposed/approved in the Task Order Management Plan (T/OMP) are strictly enforeced unless and until the Task Order Monitor through BAE SYSTEMS approved the use of other GLCs. The GLC Sr Management/Tech Staff 5 requires Task Order Monitor approval through BAE SYSTEMS prior to use. An oral presentation may be required in lieu of or in addition to the written T/OMP.  The BAE SYSTEMS Subcontracts Administrator will provide specific direction.  BAE SYSTEMS will reimburse only T/OMP development on informally-competitive T/Os.  The cost of development of T/OMPs that are formally-competed shall be borne by the Subcontractor and subject to its DCAA accepted/approved accounting system.

 

g.              The Subcontractor shall initiate task performance promptly upon receipt of a fully executed T/O.  If upon submission of the subcontractor’s T/OMP, it is necessary to enter into discussions/negotiations to reach a mutual agreement relative to the T/OMP, the Subcontractor will continue to perform the T/O unless otherwise notified by the Subcontracts Administrator that performance should cease until the outstanding issues are resolved.

 

h.              With the exception of T/Os utilizing Operations & Maintenance (O&M) funds, it is the Government’s (and consequently BAE SYSTEMS’s) intent to incrementally fund T/Os issued hereunder.

 

i.                  No protest under FAR Subpart 33.1 is authorized in connection with the issuance or proposed issuance of a T/O, except on the grounds that the order increases the scope or maximum value of the subcontract in total.

 

H-15                     TRANSITION PERIODS

 

a.               “Transition In” - It is the intent of BAE SYSTEMS to provide for an orderly transition of the support function between the current contracts, DASG60-97-D-0001, DASG6Q-97-D-0002, DASG60-97-D-0003 and DASG6G-97-D-0004, and the anticipated contract awardees under the attached Statement of Work. To that end, the transition-in period will be from subcontract(s) award to the end of the current subcontract (23

 

Page 36 of 49

 

Revised per Mod 2 dated May 14, 2002

 



 

BAE SYSTEMS

 

April 2002).  The transition may involve the transfer of facilities, documentation, intellectual property, operating procedures and other resources necessary to ensure that the full requirements of the Government Statement of Work are met. Transition activities will include attendance at program reviews; participation in working groups; briefings; on-site communications; and full disclosure of technical, cost, and programmatic information between all contractors/teams, toward the goal of meeting Government requirements. The level and amount of transfer required will be dependent upon the particular contractors involved and the programs they support. The transition requirements that may be placed upon the subcontractor for the current SETAC will be accomplished via a Task Order (T/O) that will be issued in time to begin an orderly transition. The initial T/Os will include appropriate associated transition requirements. Both will be tailored to the particular subcontractor(s) involved.  BAE SYSTEMS will meet with the involved parties to schedule and arrange for the details of the transition period events. (NOTE: The only allowable costs associated with this transition-in period will be the cost for transfer of Special Test Equipment which will be covered in the initial T/Os issued under this subcontract.  All other costs associated with the above-referenced transition activities will be the sole responsibility of the subcontractor.)

 

b.              “Transition Out” - It is the intent of BAE SYSTEMS to provide for an orderly transition from the contract and its subcontracts resulting from RFP DASG60-01-R-0003 to any follow-on contracts and subcontract(s).  To that end, the transition-out period will be approximately ninety (90) days prior to the end of the resulting subcontracts. The subcontractor will be required to work closely with any follow-on SETAC contractor for approximately 90 days prior to the end of subcontract as stated above, in order to assure uninterrupted SETAC support, and assumption of follow-on SETAC (sub)contractor responsibility. The transition may involve the transfer of facilities, documentation, intellectual property, operating procedures and other resources necessary to ensure the full requirements of the Government Statement of Work are met. The “Transition-Out” will include attendance at program reviews, participation in working groups, briefings, on-site communications, and full disclosure of technical, cost, and programmatic information between all contractors/teams associated with meeting the various on-going Primary-Organization-Elements requirements.  BAE SYSTEMS will, prior to transition, meet with the involved parties to schedule and arrange for the transition period events. The transition requirements that may be placed upon the subcontractor will be accomplished via T/Os that will be issued in time to begin an orderly transition. The T/O will be tailored to the particular subcontractor(s) involved and their on-going T/Os.
