Statement of Work (SOW) STATEMENT OF WORK Visual Information Package Kits 1. Scope. As directed by the Secretary of Defense, all Naval units must be provided with the capability to capture Visual Information (VI), which is defined as still photos and videos, in order to document events. In order to meet that direction, all Military Sealift Command (MSC) ships require equipment and processing capability that will allow them to perform the following tasks and processes: • Take high quality still photos and produce high definition (HD) video, day or night • Enter metadata on photos, and reduce their file size if required • Add narratives to video files and trim as required • Transmit all VI products to Maritime Operations Centers (MOCs) 2. Background. The Navy-Wide Operational Task message (OPTASK) VI directs that VI products shall be transmitted to Maritime Operations Centers (MOC's) within one-hour of a reportable event. Thirty to forty-five second video files, required by the Navy-Wide OPTASK VI are very large (normally 100 to 200 megabytes). MSC units, which are equipped with the Consolidated Afloat Network Exchange System (CANES) and the Integrated Shipboard Network Systems (ISNS) networks, have the capability to use SAILOR/ASPERA to transmit files of 100 to 200 megabytes' size within the prescribed time limits. However, only the T-EPF and T-AKE class ships are outfitted with CANES/ISNS. MSC ships that operate on the SMS network do not have the capability to transmit raw files in a time frame that meets reporting requirements and must be provided with a solution other than SAILOR/ASPERA. Amazon Web Services (AWS) Elemental Server software was tested in a pilot program and has demonstrated the ability to provide that capability. AWS Elemental, hosted on a sold-state drive attached to a stand-alone laptop computer, segments and compresses large video files into "playlists" made up of a series of one, two, or four megabyte files that can be transmitted quickly by MSC ships using existing bandwidth. Playlists are transmitted to a receiving entity, where they are decoded and reconstructed and made available to authorized viewers (this technology and capability is proprietary). Currently, the receiving entity is a watch team at MSC. Efforts are underway to make the receiving entity Cloud based. 3. Objectives. • Acquire the capability to take still photos and videos, in daylight or darkness, and make those files available to Maritime Operations Centers within one-hour of a reportable incident. 4. Specific Requirements. • The contractor shall provide supportive laptop computers with SD card readers, DVD read/write drives, Adobe Creative Cloud subscription, and solid-state drives configured with AWS Elemental Server Software that is capable of compressing and segmenting video files into one, two or four megabyte segments. • The contractor shall create an AWS Cloud configuration for MSC, setup a unique MSC domain, and provide email configuration for all MSC units in the program. • The contractor shall provide a subscription to AWS Media Convert services that affords the capability for each ship to use up to 1,666 minutes of Media Convert services (uploading of video files to AWS Cloud) per month. • The ability to provide replacements for the above listed equipment as required • The contactor shall provide access to Premier AE support for Elemental Server (Help Desk support) for 120 units. • The contractor shall modify configurations as required to accommodate any changes in integration, hardware and software requirements to ensure reconfiguration allows the capabilities of the VIPK's to accurately process data. 5. VIPK's Components: Visual Information Package Kits (VIPK) equipped with the following per each kit: • 2 ea. DSLR cameras capable of taking photos and HD video • 2 ea. 18-300mm zoom lenses • 1 ea. night-vision devices (NVDs) that provide the capability to take photos and videos at night • 1 ea. laptop computers with SD card readers, a USB mouse, and DVD read/write drives • 1 ea. solid-state drives configured with AWS Elemental Server software that is capable of compressing and segmenting video files into one, two or four megabyte segments • 2 ea. 128-gigabyte secure digital (SD) cards • 2 ea. spare camera batteries • 1 ea. 67mm UV Protector Filter • 1 ea. Tripod • 1 ea. Pelican 1605 Air Cases with custom foam cutouts 5. Place of Performance: • The kits shall be delivered to MSC Headquarters in Norfolk, Virginia, where they will be imaged and then delivered to all MSC ships 6. Security. • Unclassified. 7. Government Furnished Equipment (GFE). • GFE will not be provided under this Order 8. Period of Performance: • The base period of performance shall be from 03 August 2019 through 02 September 2020. In addition to the base period, there are four (4) one-year twelve-months (12) option periods from 03 September 2020 through 02 September 2024. 7.

Provision 52.212-2 Evaluation-Commercial Items (Oct 2014) applies to this acquisition. (a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: (i) technical capability of the item offered to meet the Government requirement; (ii) price; Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) (iii) past performance (see FAR 15.304 and DFARS 213.106-2)); Award shall be made to the lowest priced technically acceptable offeror in LPTA solicitations. To be considered a technically acceptable solution for a parts procurement, the quoted parts shall meet the solicitation requirements including required parts, delivery dates, and terms and conditions stated in the solicitation. To be considered a technically acceptable solution for a service, the quoted service shall meet the solicitation requirements including terms and conditions stated in the solicitation. The quote shall state that all aspects of the technical requirement, including required delivery date and part numbers, can be met. If utilized, a past performance evaluation will be conducted in accordance with FAR 13.106-2(b)(3)(ii)(C). The Government intends to utilize the Government Wide Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) for past performance evaluations as a basis for anticipating successful/unsuccessful performance on this required effort. To be considered acceptable for past performance, a search of the PPIRS must reveal no negative past performance information for the recent and relevant records. In the event there are no recent and/or relevant PPIRS records, the quoter may submit information on recent and relevant subcontracts and/or commercial contracts. If no recent and relevant contracts are available in PPIRS or submitted by the offeror, the quoter's past performance record shall be considered "unknown." In the context of acceptable or unacceptable, "unknown" past performance shall be considered "acceptable." To be considered recent, the effort must either still be in progress or have been completed within the previous three (3) years from date of this draft award notice. To be considered relevant the record should be similar in terms of complexity, scope, and magnitude. "Scope" is defined as experience in areas defined in the SOW. "Magnitude" is defined as the measure of similarity of the volume, dollar value, and/or duration of work actually performed under the quoter's submitted contracts to the SOW. At the quoter's discretion, additional past performance information may be submitted with the quote as a supplement to PPIRS. If furnished, this submission will be evaluated in accordance with the procedures described above. The Government will evaluate quoted pricing for reasonableness utilizing techniques described in FAR 13.106-3. (b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). (c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
