Statement of Work (SOW) / Performance Work Statement (PWS)

This Statement of Work (SOW) outlines the requirements for providing engineering and technical support services for the Naval Surface Warfare Center Philadelphia Division (NSWCPD) Division 42 Propulsion Program. The program focuses on engineering and technical support, program management, and logistics support for propulsion systems on U.S. Navy Vessels.

The contractor shall provide non-personal services encompassing a wide range of engineering and technical support. Key areas include:

• Ship Design and Acquisition Support: Developing and reviewing specifications, drawings, and contract deliverables for new acquisition and modernization programs. Includes human factors assessments and review of machinery system designs.
• Modeling and Simulation Support: Performing computational engineering analysis (e.g., finite element modeling, CFD) and 2D/3D modeling for machinery systems using specified software.
• Machinery Systems Engineering Support: Providing engineering support for the design, installation, testing, operation, and maintenance of various propulsion and power generation systems across numerous ship classes. This includes root cause failure analysis, repair coordination, and integrated control systems support.
• Ashore and Afloat Test Engineering Support: Developing test procedures, performing trend analysis, engineering calculations, failure analyses, and specialized Test & Evaluation (T&E) support for programs and R&D efforts.
• Field Engineering Support: Providing engineering assessments, machinery system grooms, maintenance, troubleshooting, and repair for afloat and ashore systems, including upgrades and validation checks.
• Logistics and Training Support: Developing Integrated Logistics Support Packages (ILSPs), technical manuals, training products, and managing material procurements.
• Project Management/Program Support: Developing project schedules, technical presentations, program documentation, risk management plans, and supporting Life Cycle Management products.

Services will be performed at various Continental United States (CONUS) and Outside Continental United States (OCONUS) locations, including Philadelphia, PA; Norfolk, VA; and others as specified. The SOW does not explicitly state the contract period of performance.

• Non-Personal Services: The contract is for non-personal services, meaning no employer-employee relationship is created with the U.S. Government.
• Security: Requires access to classified information up to the SECRET level, necessitating a SECRET facility clearance (FCL) within 45 days of award. Personnel require appropriate security clearances and must complete mandatory government training.
• Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI): Must be safeguarded per NIST SP-800-171 and DoDI 5200.48.
• Commonality and Standardization: Contractors must utilize the NAVSEA Enterprise Commonality Virtual Shelf (VS) when selecting equipment/components.
• Reporting: Various Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL) items are specified, including status reports, personnel rosters, and technical reports.
