Note 1: The minimum amount on each contract will be the sum of the CLINs for which the contractor receives an award. For example, if the contractor receives awards under two CLINS, the minimum contract value will be $2,000. Once a single task order is received by the Contractor that exceeds this contract minimum amount, the guaranteed minimum for each CLIN included in the contract will be considered satisfied in full. Note 2: The maximum (total) dollar amount of all orders issued under each CLIN in the ordering period shall not exceed the amount indicated. The amount indicated is the government's best estimate of the total value of all work to be performed in the CLIN during the ordering period. Since multiple awards will be made per CLIN, any single contract recipient is unlikely to receive orders in a CLIN equaling the maximum amount indicated for that CLIN. The actual amount of any orders placed under any single contract will be determined using the procedures prescribed herein for the competition of individual task orders.

The following clause pertains to Firm Fixed Priced Orders:
(a) Contract line item(s) .!.-through .!.-are incrementally funded. For these item(s), the sum of $~of the total price is presently available for payment and allotted to this contract. An allotment schedule is set forth in paragraph (j) of this clause. (b) For item(s) identified in paragraph (a) of this clause, the Contractor agrees to perform up to the point at which the total amount payable by the Government, including reimbursement in the event of termination of those item(s) for the Government's convenience, approximates the total amount currently allotted to the contract. The Contractor is not authorized to continue work on those item(s) beyond that point. The Government will not be obligated in any event to reimburse the Contractor in excess of the amount allotted to the contract for those item(s) regardless of anything to the contrary in the clause entitled ''Termination for Convenience of the Government." As used in this clause, the total amount payable by the Government in the event of termination of applicable contract line item(s) for convenience includes costs, profit, and estimated termination settlement costs for those item(s). (c) Notwithstanding the dates specified in the allotment schedule in paragraph (j) of this clause, the Contractor will notify the Contracting Officer in writing at least ninety days prior to the date when, in the Contractor's best judgment, the work will reach the point at which the total amount payable by the Government, including any cost for termination for convenience, will approximate 85 percent of the total amount then allotted to the contract for performance of the applicable item(s). The notification will state (1) the estimated date when that point will be reached and (2) an estimate of additional funding, if any, needed to continue performance of applicable line items up to the next scheduled date for allotment of funds identified in paragraph (j) of this clause, or to a mutually agreed upon substitute date. The notification will also advise the Contracting Officer of the estimated amount of additional funds that will be required for the timely performance of the item(s) funded pursuant to this clause, for a subsequent period as may be specified in the allotment schedule in paragraph (j) of this clause or otherwise agreed to by the parties. If after such notification additional funds are not allotted by the date identified in the Contractor's notification, or by an agreed substitute date, the Contracting Officer will terminate any item(s) for which additional funds have not been allotted, pursuant to the clause of this contract entitled ''Termination for Convenience of the Government." (d) When additional funds are allotted for continued performance of the contract line item(s) identified in paragraph (a) of this clause, the parties will agree as to the period of contract performance which will be covered by the funds. The provisions of paragraphs (b) through (d) of this clause will apply in like manner to the additional allotted funds and agreed substitute date, and the contract will be modified accordingly.

(e) If, solely by reason of failure of the Government to allot additional funds, by the dates indicated below, in amounts sufficient for timely performanceof the contract line item(s) identified in paragraph (a) of this clause, the Contractor incurs additional costs or is delayed in the performance of the work under this contract and if additional funds are allotted, an equitable adjustment will be made in the price or prices (including appropriate target, billing, and ceiling prices where applicable) ofthe item(s), or in the time of delivery, or both. Failure to agree to any such equitable adjustment hereunder will be a dispute concerning a question of fact within the meaning of the clause entitled "Disputes."
(t) The Government may at any time prior to termination allot additional funds for the performance of the contract line item(s) identified in paragraph (a) of this clause.
(g) The termination provisions of this clause do not limit the rights of the Government under the clause entitled "Default." The provisions of this clause are limited to the work and allotment of funds for the contract line item(s) set forth in paragraph (a) of this clause. This clause no longer applies once the contract is fully funded except with regard to the rights or obligations of the parties concerning equitable adjustments negotiated under paragraphs (d) and (e) of this clause. (h) Nothing in this clause affects the right of the Government to terminate this contract pursuant to the clause of this contract entitled "Termination for Convenience of the Government."
(i) Nothing in this clause shall be construed as authorization of voluntary services whose acceptance is otherwise prohibited under 31 U.S.C. 1342.
G) The parties contemplate that the Government will allot funds to this contract in accordance with the following schedule:

(0 Definition
The term Contracting Officer as used in this provision includes the Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO). (g) Definitization Requirements - Undefinitized Orders 1) When an undefinitized contract action is issued, the Contractor agrees to begin promptly negotiating with the Contracting Officer the terms of a definitive order. The Contractor agrees to submit, as appropriate, a FFP, CPFF Completion, CPAF, or CPIF proposal and any necessary cost or pricing data to support its proposal.
SOLICITAnON NUMBER NOOOI4-09-R-0002
Page 15
2) In accordance with the requirements of DFARS 217.7404-3, the schedule for definitizing any undefinitized order shall be specified in the order and shall include: a. Submission Due Date of Contractor's Proposal b. Projected Date for Commencement of Negotiations c. Target Date for Definitization
3) If agreement on a definitive order to supersede this undefinitized order is not reached by the target date specified in definitization schedule, or within any extension thereof granted by the Contracting Officer, the Contracting Officer may, with the approval of the Head of the Contracting Activity, determine a reasonable price or fee in accordance with FAR Part 15, subject to Contractor appeal as provided in the Disputes clause. In any event, the Contractor shall proceed with completion of the order, subject only to the limitation of Government liability set forth in paragraph (6) below. 4) For CPFF, CPAF, or CPIF orders, the Contractor further agrees that the Government shall not be liable under such definitization for an increase in the estimated cost and fee which combined would cause the definitized price of the order to exceed the ceiling amount specified in the undefinitized order (See DFARS 217.7404-2). The not to exceed price specified is a maximum and shall not be construed as an indication, other than a limit on the amount, if any, of such definitization. Subject to the foregoing, failure to agree to pay any definitization shall be a dispute concerning a question of fact within the meaning of the clause of this contract entitled "Disputes."
5) Pending definitization of a CPFF, CPAF, or CPIF order, the estimated cost of efforts performed under this undefinitized order for purposes of the clause of the contract entitled "Limitation of Cost" or "Limitation of Funds", as appropriate, is the limitation of Government liability set forth in paragraph (6) below. The Contractor shall be reimbursed for the costs of efforts performed under this undefinitized order in accordance with the clause of this contract entitled "Allowable Cost and Payment", but in no event for an amount greater than the estimated cost of such efforts. The Contractor shall bill no fee against the estimated cost until this order is definitized.
6) In performing this undefinitized order (either CPFF, CPAF, CPIF or FFP), the Contractor
is not authorized to make expenditures or incur obligations exceeding the amount obligated to the undefinitized order (See DFARS 217.7404-4 for funding limitations). This is the maximum amount, including fee or profit, for which the Government shall be liable if this order is terminated. (h) Termination Of Orders
1) The Government may terminate performance of work under any order in whole or, from
time to time, in part if -- a. The Contracting Officer determines that a termination is in the Government's interest; or b. The Contractor defaults in performing any order and fails to cure the default within 10 days (unless extended by the Contracting Officer) after receiving a notice specifying the default. "Default" includes failure to make progress in the work so as to endanger performance,
SOLICITATION NUMBER N00014-09-R-0002
Page 16
2) The Contracting Officer shall terminate the order by delivering to the Contractor a Notice of Termination specifying whether the termination is for default of the Contractor of for Convenience of the Government, the extent of termination, and the effective date. If, after termination for default, it is determined that the Contractor was not in default or that the Contractor's failure to perform or to make progress in performance is due to causes beyond the control and without fault or negligence of the Contractor as set forth in the Excusable Delays clause, the rights and obligations of the parties will be the same as if termination was for the convenience of the Government. 3) After receipt of a Notice of Termination, and except as directed by the Contracting Officer, the Contractor shall immediately proceed with the obligations specified in the "Termination (Cost Reimbursement)" clause, the ''Termination for Convenience of the Government (Fixed Price)" clause or the "Default (Fixed Price Supply and Service)" clause, whichever is applicable. 10. Individual Task Orders Since this is a multiple award solicitation, a number of IDIQ contracts are anticipated to be issued under this effort. Each offeror receiving a contract will be given a fair opportunity, as prescribed in FAR 16.505(b), to submit a proposal for individual task orders. This competitive process will be simplified in order to facilitate the order process and prevent undue administrative burden upon the Contractor and the Government. The following sections include the procedures that will be used in issuing orders and the procedures and selection criteria that will be used to provide all awardees a fair opportunity to be considered for each order. a. Orders
According to FAR 16.505, the Contracting Officer shall ensure that individual orders clearly describe all services to be performed or supplies to be delivered. The Contracting Officer shall ensure that orders are within the scope, period, and maximum value of the contract as stated in the Contract. Orders placed under the contract pursuant to this solicitation shall contain the following information:
(l) Date of order. (2) Contract number and order number. (3) Item number, description, quantity, unit price or estimated cost or fee. (4) Delivery or performance date. (5) Place of delivery or performance (including consignee). (6) Packaging, packing, and shipping instructions, if any. (7) Accounting and appropriation data. (8) Any other pertinent information.
No protest under subpart 33.1 is authorized in connection with the issuance or proposed issuance of most orders under a task order contract or delivery order contract except for a protest on the grounds that the order increases the scope, period, or maximum value of the contract. However, offerors may request a post award de-briefing for orders in excess of $5,000,000; orders issued in excess of $10,000,000 may be protested to the Government Accounting Office (GAO) exclusively; no task order in excess of $100 million may be awarded to a single source without a signed determination from the Head of the Agency. b. Order Competition The procedures for selecting awardees for the issuance of individual orders need not comply with the competition requirements of FAR Part 6. However, the Government will not use any method (such as
SOLICITAnON NUMBER N00014-09-R-0002 Page 17
allocation) that would not result in fair consideration being given to all awardees prior to placing each order. Each awardee shall be provided a fair opportunity to be considered for each order in excess of $3,000 in accordance with the procedures specified in FAR 16.505(b). The Government plans to provide for task order competition by sending all basic contract awardees via email any solicitations generated under this project. The Government reserves the right to modify these procedures when determined to be necessary and in the Government's best interest. The Contracting Officer will use hislher best judgment to decide which Contractor represents the best value to the Government in the competition of individual orders. Evaluation factors for these task order competitions and their relative weights are discussed further below. c. Evaluation of Individual Task Orders
After the placement of multiple award IDIQ contracts are made, individual orders will be awarded to the responsible offeror whose task order proposal represents the best value to the Government. In order to determine which offeror represents the best overall value, offers for individual task orders will be evaluated on the following technical factors and subfactors: (I) Understanding of Requirements (i) Overall Project (ii) Sample Tasks (2) Staff Qualifications (3) Organizational Past Performance (i) Timeliness of Performance (ii) Cost Control (iii) Quality of Product and Services (iv) Business relations (v) Customer Satisfaction (4) Corporate Facilities However, the government reserves the right to use some or all of the above technical evaluation factors and subfactors for individual task orders. Factors I through 3 are equally weighted. Factor 4 is of less value than all other factors. Under Factors (1) and (3), the subfactors are of equal importance. The four technical factors combined are more important than cost. Although cost is less important than all of the technical factors combined, it will not be ignored. The degree of its importance will increase with the degree of equality of the delivery/task order proposals in relation to the other factors on which selection is to be based, or when the cost is so significantly high as to diminish the value of the technical superiority to the Government. The Government may make multiple task order awards under a specific task order solicitation if determined to be in the Government's best interests. 11.

If the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals. Therefore, the offeror's initial proposal should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. (5) The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). Therefore, the offeror's initial proposal should contain the offeror's best terms from a cost or price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. If the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals. (6) The Government reserves the right to make an award on any item for a quantity less than the quantity offered, at the unit cost or prices offered, unless the offeror specifies otherwise in the proposal. (7) The Government reserves the right to make multiple awards if, after considering the additional administrative costs, it is in the Government's best interest to do so. (8) Exchanges with offerors after receipt of a proposal do not constitute a rejection or counteroffer by the Government. (9) The Government may determine that a proposal is unacceptable if the prices proposed are materially unbalanced between line items or subline items. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more contract line items is significantly overstated or understated as indicated by the application of cost or price analysis techniques. A proposal may be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government. (10) If a cost realism analysis is performed, cost realism may be considered by the source selection authority in evaluating performance or schedule risk. (11) A written award or acceptance of proposal mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time specified in the proposal shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. (12) If a post-award debriefing is given to requesting offerors, the Government shall disclose the following information, if applicable:
(i) The agency's evaluation of the significant weak or deficient factors in the debriefed offeror's

L.ll. FAR 52.222-46 EVALUATION OF COMPENSAnON FOR PROFESSIONAL EMPLOYEES (FEB 1993)
(a) Recompetition of service contracts may in some cases result in lowering the compensation (salaries and fringe benefits) paid or furnished professional employees. This lowering can be detrimental in obtaining the quality of professional services needed ,for adequate contract performance. It is therefore in the Government's best interest that professional employees, as defined in 29 CPR 541, be properly and fairly compensated. As part of their proposals, offerors will submit a total compensation plan setting forth salaries and fringe benefits proposed for the professional employees who will work under the contract. The Government will evaluate the plan to assure that it reflects a sound management approach and understanding of the contract requirements. This evaluation will include an assessment of the offeror's ability to provide uninterrupted high-quality work. The professional compensation proposed will be considered in terms of its impact upon recruiting and retention, its realism, and its consistency with a total plan for compensation. Supporting information will include data, such as recognized national and regional compensation surveys and studies of professional, public and private organizations, used in establishing the total compensation structure. (b) The compensation levels proposed should reflect a clear understanding of work to be performed and should indicate the capability of the proposed compensation structure to obtain and keep suitably qualified personnel to meet mission objectives. The salary rates or ranges must take into account differences in skills, the complexity of various disciplines, and professional job difficulty. Additionally, proposals envisioning compensation levels lower than those of predecessor contractors for the same work will be evaluated on the basis of maintaining program continuity, uninterrupted high-quality work, and availability of required competent professional service employees. Offerors are cautioned that lowered compensation for essentially the same professional work may indicate lack of sound management judgment and lack of understanding of the requirement. (c) The Government is concerned with the quality and stability of the work force to be employed on this contract. Professional compensation that is unrealistically low or not in reasonable relationship to the various job categories, since it may impair the Contractor's ability to attract and retain competent professional service employees, may be viewed as evidence of failure to comprehend the complexity of the contract requirements.

(b) The copy of any protest shall be received in the office designated above within one day of filing a protest with the GAO. L.13. FAR 52.237-10 IDENTIFICATION OF UNCOMPENSATED OVERTIME (OCT 1997) (a) Definitions. As used in this provision -
(1) "Uncompensated overtime" means the hours worked without additional compensation in excess of an average of 40 hours per week by direct charge employees who are exempt from the Fair Labor Standards Act. Compensated personal absences such as holidays, vacations, and sick leave shall be included in the normal work week for purposes of computing uncompensated overtime hours.
(2) "Uncompensated overtime rate" is the rate that results from multiplying the hourly rate for a 40-hour work week by 40, and then dividing by the proposed hours per week. For example, 45 hours proposed on a 40-hour work week basis at $20 per hour would be converted to an uncompensated overtime rate of $17.78 per hour ($20.00'40 divided by 45=$17.78). (b) For any proposed hours against which an uncompensated overtime rate is applied, the offeror shall identify in its proposal the hours in excess of an average of 40 hours per week, by labor category at the same level of detail as compensated hours, and the uncompensated overtime rate per hour, whether at the prime or subcontract level. This includes uncompensated overtime hours that are in indirect cost pools for personnel whose regular hours are normally charged direct. (c) The offeror's accounting practices used to estimate uncompensated overtime must be consistent with its cost accounting practices used to accumulate and report uncompensated overtime hours. (d) Proposals that include unrealistically low labor rates, or that do not otherwise demonstrate cost realism, will be considered in a risk assessment and will be evaluated for award in accordance with that assessment. (e) The offeror shall include a copy of its policy addressing uncompensated overtime with its proposal.

GENERAL FRAMEWORK FOR IDIQ CONTRACTS AND
TASK ORDER 0001
(a) The government intends to award a number of basic Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts resulting from the Integrated Topside (lnTop) solicitation to responsible offerors whose proposals conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the government cost and other factors considered. This will provide for competition under any ensuing task order solicitations. Offerors' IDIQ technical proposals must demonstrate understanding of the broad InTop systems and concepts and an ability to provide systems/systems integration in at least one (1) of three (3) distinct areas. The three distinct areas are System Development, Niche Capability and Systems Integrator.
(1) Systems Development: The development of specific system Advanced Development Models
(ADMs) suitable for the proof of concept and testing of functional capability. These ADMs will be developed in spirals through task orders in the general areas of sample tasks 1-5 and spun off to the acquisition community for acquisition and implementation on specific combat weapon systems. (2) Niche Capability: Some companies do not have in-house capabilites to develop totally integrated ADMs, yet they have specific technical expertise that would make the development of the ADM technically superior or more cost effective. The Navy encourages the involvement of these niche companies to address their specific capability and its impact on ADMs in the areas identified in sample tasks 1-5. (3) Systems Integrator: As the ADMs are developed in spirals, there will be the need to integrate each of them with other ADMs as well as the government furnished software. This integration will be the key to assuring that the overall system of system capability is achieved and meets the optimized and/or prioritized radio frequency functionality. A contractor with the requisite experience will be selected to assist the Navy with the necessary integration effort. Offerors interested in Systems Integration must address Sample Task 6. (b) In addition to the award of the IDIQ contracts, the Government intends to award up to a maximum of seven (7) Firm Fixed Price Task Orders 0001 awards for System Development and/or Niche Capability for Electronic Warfare/Communications (EW/Comms) valued at an amount not to exceed $500,000 each. This order will have a 7-month period of performance. The government intends to make Task Order 0001 awards concurrent with the basic IDIQ contract awards.

The Array shall support two or three simultaneous beams. The impact (relative to array size, power, performance, complexity, etc.) of supporting three vs. two beams should be discussed.
Wideband Transmit Array Architecture • Performance across the 7-46 GHz frequency band, with emphasis on the 7.9-8.4 GHz, 30-31 GHz, and 43.5-45.5 GHz sub-bands. • The design shall characterize effective isotropic radiated power as a function of aperture area. • The design shall characterize the sCan loss as a function of scan angle for electronically steered antenna concepts. A maximum scan angle of 600 should be used as the design goal; issues of degradation and losses for scan angles from 600 -700 shall also be identified. • Meet Military Standard (MIL-STD)-188-164A for radiation patterns and polarization performance (axial ratio) for antennas addressing Super High Frequency bands. Antennas addressing the 43.5-45.5 GHz band must be right-hand circular polarized. • Array shall support two or three simultaneous beams. The impact (relative to array size, power, performance, complexity, etc.) of supporting three vs. two beams should be discussed. • The architecture shall address key technology integration issues for wideband arrays on
submarines, including:
• Methods for addressing thermal management. • Methods for reducing overall power requirements. • Methods for addressing co-site interference issues. MIL-STD-461E (all applicable tests), 461 C RS02 & CS06, and Department of Defense (DOD) 1399 Sec 70 may be used as general guidance. • Methods for minimizing array thickness. The overall depth of the array should be 4.5 inch or less. • The following mast dimensions may be used as guidance regarding the mast that would support a given candidate antenna architecture: • Inner diameter: 6.850 +/- 0.006 inch. • Outer diameter: 8.000 in. • Inner Length 134.0 in. • Material: Titanium Alloy 5111 • Key submarine environmental performance goals listed here are to be considered as general guidance rather than hard requirements. The objective is for the proposed antenna design to address the factors below without requiring a rigorous mechanical design effort. o Array and/or system architecture must survive hydrostatic pressure of 1050 pounds per square inch (psi). A notional radome approach meeting this requirement, including projected losses, should be discussed. o Antenna must be capable of withstanding a dynamic wave slap load of at least 9.0 psi over any projected area. o Antenna should not be degraded by active or passive corrosion due to leakage currents or galvanic action. o Antenna design should address the ability to meet submarine shock requirements (MIL S-901D, Grade A, Class I, Type A can be used as general guidance). The system design shall consider the opportunity to share resources with other InTop or legacy systems regardless of platform.
Sample Task 3: Consolidated Satellite Communications
The Offeror shall develop a low-cost consolidated system for shipboard satellite communications. In addition to shared components/subassemblies performing multiple functions, particular emphasis shall be
SOLICITATION NUMBER N00014-09-R-0002
Page 63
on a consolidated Aperture(s). This aperture design shall lead to reduced size, weight and power (SWAP), as well as cost, relative to existingnegacy satellite communication antennas (including pedestals and radomes) on naval surface combatants. The offeror shall also consider and recommend additional radar and/or EW functions that may be performed by the subject array as is, or through the expansion of the design requirements. The replacement of existing multiple satellite communications antennas with a consolidated aperture(s) must be accomplished without impairing overall legacy system performance. The communications links of interest for this effort are provided in Table I. SYSTEM UPLINK Commercial Ku Band 13.75 - 14.50 GHz N/A for ship Global Broadcast Service Military Strategic Tactical 43.5 - 45.5 GHz and Relay (MILSTAR) Advanced Extremely High 43.5 - 45.5 GHz Frequency (AEHF)/EHF Interim Polar System (IPS) 43.5 - 45.5 GHz 7.9- 8.4 GHz Wideband Global Satellite (WGS) (Includes GBS) 30-31 GHz Table 1 - SATCOM System Frequencies DOWNLINK 10.95 -12.75 GHz 20.2 - 20.7 GHz 20.2 - 21.2 GHz
20.2 - 21.2 GHz 20.2 - 21.2 GHz 7.25 - 7.75 GHz 20.2 - 21.2 GHz
The consolidated Satellite Communication (SATCOM) system should be capable of simultaneously linking with the satellites listed above and must also be capable of communicating with at least one satellite in a highly inclined orbit but not necessarily simultaneously with all the Geosynchronous earth orbit (GEO) satellites listed above. However, it is desirable to be able to communicate with one satellite in a highly inclined orbit and one GEO satellite simultaneously. In order to communicate with one GEO satellite from each of the constellations listed above simultaneously it is expected that the developed multi-beam antenna will need to scan at least an 800 arc of the GEO orbit. The antenna must accomplish this in up to sea state 5 environment. Ship roll up to 300 and pitch up to 100 shall be considered. The inclination angle of some of the satellite orbits may be as much as 5 degrees. It is desirable to additionally include commercial Ka-band with an uplink frequency of 27.5 - 31 gigahertz (GHz), and a downlink frequency of 17.7 - 2].2 GHz. Offerors may assume that no more than two communication channels per SATCOM band will be needed. Furthermore, the instantaneous null-to-null bandwidth of each of these channels will not exceed 150 megahertz (MHz). The side lobes of the shipboard antenna shall be low to limit interference with other satellites. There must be sufficient isolation betweentransmit and receive functions, so that at full transmit power the receiver is not desensitized by more than 0.1 decibel (dB). The aperture design need not be constrained to a fixed deckhouse or mast, but must provide unobstructed coverage. The total topside weight shall be less than the combined weight (544 kg) for each of the two legacy military satellite links (MILSTARlEHF and WGS).
If mechanical stabilization is proposed, the architecture must include approaches to insure high reliability and good maintainability. This would be indicated by high (Antenna Unit level) mean time between failure (MrBF) and low mean time to repair (MTTR). Since reliability and maintainability will significantly effect the Operations and Support (O&S) cost of the system, goals of> 5,000 hours MrBF and < 1.0 hour MTTR have been established.
SOLICITATION NUMBER N00014-09-R-0002 Page 64
Key system design issues include: • Size, Weight, and Power (SWAP) • Modular Open Systems Approach (MaS A) • Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) - especially with X-band Multifunction Radar and S-band Volume Surveillance Radar • Unit Cost - both for first unit and for a production run of 10 units • Risks; Technical (including technology development) and programmatic • Number of simultaneous beams provided • Reliability and Maintainability The system design shall consider the opportunity to share resources with other InTop or legacy systems regardless of platform.
Sample Task 4: Surface Ship Multiple Function Radar System
The offeror shall develop a Radar system to perform some or all of the following functions: Volume. Search, Identification Friend or Foe (IFF), Air Traffic Control, and/or Aircraft Precision Landing. The system shall have a Free Space Range of the order of 200 nautical miles (nmi), and provide aircraft control and landing for both fixed~wing carrier aircraft and rotary aircraft on all suitably equipped platforms. The offeror shall consider a Ubiquitous Radar concepr where the transmitted signal is omni directional (or appropriate sector), the receive antenna uses an element level digital beamformer to develop narrow receive beams, and the receiver incorporates long integration times and other digital processing techniques for detection of the low power receive signal. The system design shall consider the opportunity to share resources with other InTop systems (Surface and/or Submarine).
Sample Task 5: Consolidated VHFIUHF LOS Communications and Information Warfare (IW)
The offeror shall develop an antenna-transceiver system that is capable of supporting all shipboard communication/tacticalline-of-sight (LOS) links, as well as IW functionality (akin to Combat direction finder (DF), Ships Signal Exploitation Equipment (SSEE), etc.) over the VHFIUHF frequency bands. The system shall be backward compatible with existing shipboard radios, but have open interfaces (RF, IF, digital) that are flexible enough to interface to new radios and IW equipment. The offeror shall consider solutions that employ digital receiver/exciter techniques to enable fully programmable transceiver bandwidth and operating frequencies. The system may take advantage of existing shipboard VHFIUHF antennas or propose new solutions. The offeror shall address transmit/receive isolation and redlblack interfaces issues. The desired system will provide a common "portal", under control of the resource allocation manager, that connects shipboard radios and IW equipments to a shared set of antennas that operate across the entire VHFIUHF spectrum.
Sample Task 6: System Engineering, System Architecture and System Integration & Test
During the Technology Development (TD) Phase and extending into the System Development and Demonstration (SDD) Phase, there is a requirement for a lead organization to have responsibility for systems engineering, system architecture and system integration and test.

The first step will be evaluation for an IDIQ Systems Development and/or Niche Capability contract based on one or more of the relevant sample tasks described in Section L. Offerors seeking either Systems Integration IDIQ contracts or a Systems Development and/or Niche Capability IDIQ contract outside the EW/Comms technical area are subject under this RFP to only a single-step evaluation. Each will be evaluated again when it submits a task order proposal in response to a separate InTop task order solicitation.
M.l. Evaluation Criteria for IDIQ contract awards
The Government will evaluate the Offeror's proposal to determine the Offeror's understanding, ability and approach to perfonning the contract requirements. The Government will make a determination of the overall value of each proposal in tenns of its potential to best satisfy the needs of the Government price structure and other factors considered. The Offeror's technical capability, as measured by the Technical Factors (Understanding of Requirement, Staff Qualifications, Organizational Past Performance, Corporate Facilities, and Commitment to Small Business) below, is the primary basis for selection. The first three Technical Factors are of equal importance to one another, and each is of higher importance than the last two Technical Factors (Corporate Facilities and Commitment to Small Business). The Corporate Facilities Factor is of higher importance than the Commitment to Small Business Factor. All technical factors combined are more important than price structure. The Commitment to Small Business section under the Technical Volume will be separately evaluated from the rest of the Offeror's technical proposal.

Statement of Work
Integrated Topside (InTop)
1.0 SCOPE
This Statement of Work (SOW) identifies the study, design, fabrication, integration, and test & evaluation (T&E) tasks anticipated for the/development of an ADM (Advanced Development Model) and subsequent EDM (Engineering Development Model) prototype and LRIP (Limited Rate Initial Production) of component systems of the Integrated Topside (InTop) system of systems on various Naval platforms. This procurement supports the Technology Development (TD) and System Development and Demonstration (SDD) phases of a Navy/acquisition program. The program will develop in a spiral manner InTopl TD phase System ADMs suitable for proof of concept, and subsequent SDD phase systems for full system demonstration prior to installation and deployment on various Navy platforms. InTop as an overarching program will adapt and develop new technologies and systems to support improved and affordable multifunction capabilities with open architectures (OAs) that can be integrated with legacy and other InTop systems. InTop will provide system capabilities that can be scaled for the size and mission of the targeted platform and incorporate a Resource Allocation Manager (RAM) which will adapt the InTop systems in real-time to provide specific RF transmit-and receive sensor and communications functions. This contract will establish multiple tasks to investigate and adapt new technologies to support affordable multifunction capabilities, develop ADMs to test/demonstrate these new capabilities and transition InTop capabilities for SDD and the Fleet. The scope of the tasks that can be issued under this contract will encompass all efforts that lead to the management, development, acquisition, appropriate integration and test of RF sensor and communications functions into legacy and future platforms, with reduced cost, manning and impact on ship design relative to an assembly of federated systems with similar capability.
1.1 BACKGROUND
The concept, component, and system development research leading to the technology to be implemented in the InTop program, and supported by this procurement, are derived from prior and ongoing Science and Technology (S&T) efforts by the Office of Naval Research (ONR). ONR, through its Fleet/Force Protection (FIFP) Future Naval
1 In this and subsequent Program documents the term InTop refers to the overarching InTop System of Systems; references to InTop Systems refer to individual systems that are considered to be one (or more) of the overarching InTop System of Systems.
Solicitation N00014-09-R-0002 Attachment Number 1 Page 1 of5
Capabilities (FNC) program, and related Discovery and invention (D&I) efforts, has been aggressively researching advanced technology for future Navy RF system requirements. In particular, ONR recently completed the Advanced Multi Function Radio Frequency Concept (AMRFC) Program. AMRFC was an FIFP FNC program that addressed the increasing challenges of shipboard topside Radio Frequency (RF) functions. Specifically, AMRFC developed and demonstrated technology for Electronic Warfare (EW), Radar, and RF Communications functions to share receive and transmit antennas and integrate with a common Radar Absorbing Material (RAM). Current U.S. Navy surface combatants employ a large number of federated RF apertures to perform Electronic Warfare, Communication, and Radar functions. Historically, each function (and hence system) has its own aperture, electronics, operator, and logistics/maintenance tail. This classic stand-alone RF systems approach results in Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility (EMI/EMC) problems that degrade system performance and increase life-cycle cost for the combatant. Ship RF signature and radar cross section are also difficult to reduce when restricted to stand-alone RF aperture/antenna approaches. Additionally, new communications and radar requirements are increasing space, weight and power demands on the topsides and masts of new platforms, and consequently lead to larger ships requiring increased generating capacity and at significantly higher cost. This problem of new requirements and limited space is even more critical on submarines with periscope/mast-mounted systems. In order to address these issues of ship signature, size, weight, and System performance and life cycle cost, ONR has sponsored research for new electronics components, RF apertures, and sensor and communications capabilities using broadband, multifunction, RF designs and advanced technologies. Related development and concept demonstration efforts include the AMRFC Test Bed and the Multi-Function Electronic Warfare (MFEW) ADM. AMRFC and subsequently MFEW were installed and tested at the Naval Research Laboratory's (NRL) Chesapeake Bay Detachment (CBD) site in Maryland. Future Integrated Topside concepts and systems may also be installed and demonstrated at this or other Navy test sites. This effort is for the development, fabrication, testing and demonstration in a spiral manner of an InTop System of Systems. Tasks will include, but not be limited to, system architecture studies; developing interface standards among InTop systems, and between InTop System configuration items; development, fabrication and test of selected InTop systems; integration of new InTop system ADMs into legacy systems and/or the InTop System of Systems under the control of the Navy-developed InTop RAM; and Coordination with Ship requirements and design-organizations to establish mutually compatible Ship - Sensor integration. Additional tasks may include the development of critical technology to expedite affordable InTop systems, and transitioning InTop technology to SDD and the Fleet.

1.2 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The InTop system of systems will support RF multi-functionality and resource management in order to enable greater flexibility to adapt platform capabilities to rapidly changing tactical and strategic environments. InTop systems shall also be capable of integrating additional functionality through modularity, open interfaces, and the addition/deletion (scaling) of hardware and/or software without impacting the fundamental system design. Under any resulting orders for system development, the contractor will be required to deliver systems based on a Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA). The contractor will be required to make recommendations regarding key interfaces where "Open" interface standards (those standards developed and controlled by a recognized industry standards organization) shall be used and/or established in order to support future InTop Spiral Developments, enhanced performance and/or mitigation of component obsolescence. Since the total cost of ownership of the system is a predominant factor of program success, the contractor may be required to provide recommendations, with supporting rationale, regarding the appropriate acquisition approach and systems design to achieve the lowest possible life cycle costs. The contractor may also be required to make recommendations, with appropriate rationale, regarding the level of systems design beyond which industry should retain intellectual property rights and the resulting impact on affordability. The goal of the initial phases of this effort is the establishment of an InTop architecture, and the design and development of various InTop ADM systems. System development includes low observable multi function RF array antennas for surface ships and submarine masts, and below-decks RF, Baseband, Signal Processing, and Resource Management subsystems. Proof of concept demonstrations will be conducted in a maritime and/or an at-sea environment representative of environmental conditions to be faced by shipboard-installed systems. Critical operational requirements, technical performance parameters and open interfaces will be Key Performance Factors (KPFs) for demonstration and evaluation. Affordability and Supportability requirements including acquisition cost, reliability, maintainability, logistics support, and system availability will also be important evaluation factors. Additional Task Orders issued under this procurement will focus on the successful Advanced Development and subsequent demonstration of selected InTop systems for various Navy platforms. Successful demonstration will include affordability, integration ability, multifuctionality, and other function and platform specific KPFs. Deliverables under this effort shall incorporate the technology, capacity and open architecture to support future integration of additional functions and/or enhanced performance. Proof of design scalability to support expanded RF functions and the application of multifunction RF technologies are mandates under this solicitation.
Solicitation N00014-09-R~0002 Attachment Number 1 Page 3 of 5
The goals for the TD phase of the InTop program are as follows: • Develop and investigate InTop and InTop system architectures as they apply to
various platform design and performance parameters, and mitigate acquisition and
Life Cycle Cost.
• Establish Open Interfaces between appropriately selected system Software and
Hardware Configuration items.
• Develop, build and test Advanced Development Models (ADMs) of selected
InTop systems including but not limited to surface ship and submarine
applications.
• Develop, build and test critical elements and/or subassemblies which may be
expected to further the objectives of the InTop Program.
• Establish and maintain a Systems Engineering Master Plan for the InTop system
of systems.
• Establish a capability (Navy/Contractor) to integrate new InTop systems with
existing systems.
• Establish a Navy/Industry IPT (Integrated Product Team) to provide requirements
and technical support to the InTop Program. This IPT shall include
representatives from both the ship requirement, design and build domain and the
sensorlcommunications requirement, design and build domains.
• Conduct InTop ADM testing that satisfies Technology Development (TD) Phase
requirements to enable a smooth transition to the System Development and
Demonstration (SDD) Acquisition Phase with minimal changes in system
architecture.
Goals of the System Development and Demonstration (SDD) Acquisition Phase include: • Develop, build and test Engineering Development Models (EDM), and
subsequent Limited Rate Initial Production (LRIP) units, of selected InTop
systems including but not limited to surface ship and submarine applications.
2.0 REQUIREMENTS The Contractor shall provide program management, engineering, and test & evaluation efforts, and deliver hardware, software, services and documents as specified under each order issued under this contract. The requirements under this contract will include: (1) efforts related to development, to include requirements definition, trade studies, system and subsystem designs, threat analysis, development, fabrication, system integration, and test demonstration; (2) efforts needed to produce and test limited quantities of system/subsystems for installation on the requisite Navy platform (ship and/or land based test site); (3) efforts needed to support limited rate initial production decisions including production engineering, preparation of production documentation and qualification

testing. Requirements will be specified in each order for the specific scope of work identified by the Government. Under any resulting orders, the contractor shall be a member, together with government personnel, of the Program Management Integrated Product Team (PMIPT) and its subordinate boards. These boards will address technical, management and acquisition issues relating to the InTop program. As an example, there is a need to assure that all contractor-developed systems communicate over a standard medium. One of the PMIPT's sub-boards will be responsible for the determination of the appropriate interface standards. Another potential area for sub-board activity is the government's desire for commonality of module interlaces and functions across multiple contractors' products. An issue of this magnitude and complexity will require the coordination of all contractor and government organizations. Also under any resulting orders, the contractor may be required to enter into Interface Working Agreements (IWAs) with other winning contractors. This will be required to insure that all contractors have an unobstructed means of communication to pass information required to assure the development, integration and interoperability of the system.

Statement of Work
Integrated Topside (InTop)
Electronic Warfare/Communications (EWIComms)
System Study
1.0 Background The objective of this Task Order is to define a modular open system architecture identifying the requirements, architecture, risks, and cost and technical issues associated an EWIComm system for Integrated Topside. 2.0 Scope This Statement of Work (SOW) is for the conduct of a system study of the requirements, architecture, risks, and cost and technical issues associated with the development of an Electronic Attack (EA) system which may be integrated with the Ship Electronic Warfare Program (SEWIP) Electronic Support (ES) system (SEWIP Block 2) for installation on both new and existing Navy surface platforms. In addition to EA this EW/Comm System study shall include an integral transmit and/or receive Line of Sight (LOS) communications capability in the specified EA Frequency Band. The EWIComm system shall also be integrated with a Navy developed Resource Allocation Manager (RAM) for real time allocation of multiple priorities and EWIComm functions. The result of this effort will be a recommendation for an EWIComm modular open systems architecture design that supports SEWIP Electronic Attack requirements, a shipboard LOS communications capability equivalent to the specified LAMPS helicopter Hawklink Tactical Command Data Link ETCDL), and spiral integration within the InTop Program. 3.0 Tasks The Contractor shall perform the following task: 3.1 Systems Engineering Study The offeror shall conduct a study of 7 months duration to investigate technical, cost and risk aspects of the development of an EWIComm system to provide onboard self protection for new and existing surface platforms and support LOS communications as a system of the InTop System of Systems. This effort will develop (and provide the rational for) a system architecture of an EWIComm system, along with the open interfaces to at least the Ship Replaceable Unit (SRU)/Computer System Configuration Item (CSCI) level'of detail. This architecture will provide the basis for the study's investigations and recommendations. The details of individual architectures below the SRU/CSCI level will be for Government (Navy and Support contractors) use only in their analysis of the multiple studies and preparation of a possible subsequent solicitation for an EWIComm ADM. Selected architectural concepts and interfaces from these studies, however, may be incorporated, without attribution, in InTop competitive solicitations.
Solicitation NOO014·09-R~OOO2 AtmchmentNumber3 Page 1 of 3
The hardware and software (SRU/CSCI) interfaces will be considered Open and may be used for further InTop studies. This study will address the below objectives: 1. Improve the understanding of the technical, design, and cost issues involved with the development and fielding of an InTop System capable of providing on-board EA protection against modern and evolving RF sensors and threat radars; integrating with a modem ES system (as represented by MultiFunction EW (MFEW); integrating with other on board sensors and off board decoys; incorporating in-band communications; and receiving real time function allocation and direction from an InTop RAM. 2. Identification of cost and technical risks associated with a combined EW/Comm system development and InTop integration. Understanding the feasibility of achieving an InTop EW/Comm system suitable for defense against modern and evolving threats, capable of reducing the platform topside RF systems' footprint, and affordable relative to the performance achieved and overall reduction in platform construction cost. This objective specifically includes consideration of the integration of an EW IComm system integrated with SEWIP Block 2 and identification of additional receive capability required to support EA and Comms. 3. Develop and refine an integrated set of EW/Comm requirements based on the understanding of cost/risk/performance issues. 4. Investigation of Open Architecture (OA) concepts and recommended open interfaces. 5.
