FMSNA Improvement Engineering Plan

Statement of Work (SOW)

This Statement of Work (SOW) details the requirements for Task Order 006, focusing on the engineering plan for improving the exhaust piping and bellow configuration for the Naval Surface Warfare Center - Philadelphia Division (NSWCPD) Code 422. The goal is to develop and validate components that achieve Technical Readiness Level (TRL) 5.

The contractor will utilize Systems Engineering processes to design, develop, and model improvements to the existing engine exhaust piping and bellow configuration. This includes reviewing the current model, performing analysis for baseline comparison, and applying the Systems Engineering Process (SEP) model (requirements analysis, functional analysis & allocation, design synthesis, and verification) in a spiral manner. The work is divided into Phase I: Design, Analysis, Testing & Evaluation.

Key activities include:

• Concept Development: Establishing system needs, leveraging existing designs, identifying failure points, and developing a system concept and functional baseline.

• Engineering Development: Engineering the system, developing design specifications, creating an engineered prototype, integrating components, and conducting preliminary design reviews (PDR).

• Testing & Evaluation: Conducting computer-aided design (CAD) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) modeling, evaluating thermal growth, weight, forces, sealing effectiveness, and fitment within space constraints for each engine configuration.

• The new design must provide quantifiable and verifiable improvements in reducing exhaust leaks.

• Design improvements must maintain existing configuration properties (temperature, pressure, material, deflection, shock/vibration).

• Utilize existing exhaust system components where possible.

• Analysis to be accomplished with engine rigid mount configuration.

• Achieve Technical Readiness Level (TRL) 5 for developed components.

• Period of Performance: Twelve (12) months from time of award.

• Primary Place of Performance: Contractor's facilities.

• Non-personal services contract; no employer-employee relationship is created.

• Contractor personnel must identify themselves as such and display distinguishable badges.

• Contractor personnel shall not engage in inherently governmental functions.

• Compliance with applicable Data Item Descriptions (DIDs) and Contract Data Requirements Lists (CDRLs).

• Adherence to Operations Security (OPSEC) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) requirements, including NIST SP-800-171.

• Deliverables include monthly progress reports, project plans, technical reports (including SDR, PDR, CDR entry/exit criteria), and a Phase I Final Report.

• All deliverables are the property of the Government.

• Concept development, establishment of functional system baseline & System Design Review (SDR).

• Preliminary design, establishment of allocated system baseline & Preliminary Design Review (PDR).

• Detailed design, FEA analysis & validation, General Fitment validation analysis.

• Establishment of the product baseline & Critical Design Review (CDR).
