C.1 STATEMENT OF WORK


 


C.1.1 This statement of work defines the effort required for the
purchase of the Buffalo Mine Protected Clearance Vehicle (MPCV). The Buffalo
MPCV is a six wheeled Blast Resistant vehicle that is capable of interrogating
and classifying suspected explosive hazards, including improvised explosive
devices (IEDs). The Buffalo MPCVs articulating arm with its digging/lifting
attachment and camera/display monitor is used to remotely interrogate a
suspected explosive hazard and allow the crew to confirm, deny and/or classify
the hazard from inside the vehicle.


 


C.1.2 The Contractor shall manufacture and deliver the specified
Buffalo MPCV, specified under Section B of this scope, which meet all the
technical requirements of Army Technical Purchase Description (ATPD) Buffalo
MPCV Purchase Description (ATPD 2373 MPCV), hereafter referred to as PD 2373,
see Attachment 1. This scope includes both the development of the Hardware and
the Logistics documentation required to support the Buffalo MPCV. This includes
repairs and spare parts, and consumable and maintenance parts in support of
Verification, Log Demo, Operational User Testing (OT), Demonstration Testing
(DT), and all other events covered by this statement of work.


 


C.1.3 The Buffalo MPCV is used in complement with the Vehicle Mounted
Mine Detector (VMMD) and Medium Mine Protected Vehicle (MMPV) to conduct route
and area clearance operations. The Buffalo MPCV will be organic to the
Clearance Company in support of the Engineer Brigade, Combat Support Brigade
(Maneuver Enhancement), or Brigade Combat Team. The characteristics of the
vehicle and associated subsystems are described in PD 2373.


 


C.2 VEHICLE REQUIREMENTS

contractor, as an independent entity, and not as an agent of the U.S.
Government, shall furnish all engineering, test data, supporting labor,
supplies, services, facilities and equipment necessary for the delivery of MPCV
Systems, as required under the contract. The MPCV systems delivered under this
contract shall meet all specifications and requirements as outlined in the
Buffalo MPCV Purchase Description (ATPD 2373 MPCV).


 


C.2.2 Transportability: The Buffalo MPCV shall be fit for
self-deployment on highways worldwide; and capable of being transported by
rail, marine, and air modes. See ATPD 2373 paragraph 3.15.2 for specific
transportability requirements. The contractor shall submit a Transportability
Report with any changes reflected in the final report. Contractor shall also
provide errata sheets specifying change and location (CDRL A001). The rail

next to the item identification. When an Engineering Drawing or Associated List
applies to multiple PLISNs, all PLISNs will be annotated on the Engineering
Drawing or Associated List. The Engineering Drawings and Associated List will
be provided in PLISN sequence to be compatible with the PPL. If commercial
literature is provided, the CAGEC and PLISN will be annotated next to the
appropriate manufacturer’s part number. The sketch or illustration provided in
support of the commercial literature, specification or standard must also have
the PLISN annotated next to the specific item.


 


C.6.3.2.6 Provisioning conference data shall be organized in such a

Government control numbers to be used in the preparation and tracking of ECPs
and VECPs . The Contractor shall contact the Configuration Data Management
(CDM) representative, USATACOM, for issuance of a block of numbers to be used
by the Contractor under this Contract. The Contractor shall assign a control
number to each change proposal submitted to the Government. The control number
shall consist of the Contractor’s assigned symbol (xxx) and the applicable TACOM-assigned
five-digit alpha/numeric number. Once assigned, a control number shall not be
reused, with the exception of resubmission of the original to reflect minor

Government-initiated ECPs, and will have 30 days from the day the ECP appears
in ACMS/Windchill to act on it, as appropriate.


 


C.7.8 CONTRACTOR INITIATED CHANGES. The Contractor shall not implement
Class I ECPs without receiving prior Government approval. Unsolicited Class I
ECPs are discouraged. However, the Contractor may submit preliminary Class I
ECPs to allow evaluation of the desirability of expending resources to fully
document a proposed change. Changes that impact the following areas are
instances where unsolicited ECPs may be justified:

If the Government suspects that a Class II ECP is actually a Class I ECP, the
Government will review the Class II ECP with the Contractor utilizing
MIL-HDBK-61A, Table 6-2, and attempt to reach a consensus on the classification
before providing a disapproval vote in ACMS/Windchill. If consensus on

cannot be reached, the Governments interpretation of the classification shall
be utilized and the Contractor shall be notified by means of a disapproval vote
in ACMS/Windchill Review by a designated Government representative, along with
an explanation for the disapproval determination. The Contractor may elect to
resubmit the change/request as a Class I ECP within five days of
Government determination. The Contractor, in lieu of a classification change
and resubmittal, may elect to retrofit all production units produced that
incorporated the change, back to the currently approved Baseline, at no cost to
the Government.

(5) days after receipt of the Government initiated ECP, the Contractor
shall respond with a Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) quote in ACMS/Windchill and
through the Contract and Program Management Offices. The ROM shall be a Not To
Exceed (NTE) price for the development and production of the Government
requested change and does not include an itemization of components or
individual costs. After receipt of the ROM, the Government can, at any time,
issue a Request For Proposal (RFP) to the Contractor. The Contractor may submit
a request through Program Management and Contract for an NTE amount to develop
the proposal. The Contractor shall respond in ACMS/Windchill and through the
Program Management and Contracts Office within 30 days of receipt of the RFP or
within 30 days after the approval of the NTE amount to the Government with a

The
Contractor shall conduct Maintenance Planning that determines maintainability
characteristics of the Buffalo MPCV. This analysis shall be documented in the
Contractors format as an LMI summary entitled Maintenance Analysis (See
Attachment 2) and shall identify maintenance functions, level of maintenance,
manpower, spare parts and the support equipment required. The analysis will be
in End Item hardware top down breakdown, disassembly sequence with attaching

maintenance returns repaired equipment to the soldier. It covers crew, service,
and field maintenance tasks. Some off-system maintenance can be done at field
level if, based on task analysis it is simple to complete or is critical to
mission readiness.

C.9.4.3.
Sustainment Level Maintenance is comprised of below depot and depot level
maintenance functions. Sustainment Maintenance consists of repairing
components, assemblies, modules, and end items in support of the supply system.
Sustainment maintenance is characterized as off-system and repair rear. The
intent of this level is to perform commodity-oriented repair on all supported
items to one standard that provides a consistent and measurable level
reliability. The Sustainment Level of Maintenance requires a National
Maintenance Work Requirement (NMWR).


 


C.9.4.4.
The analysis shall determine maintenance requirements, including all
Preventative Maintenance Checks and Services (PMCS), based on:


 


(1) Identification
of components which are critical in terms of mission and operating system.

BUFFALO - MAGNETIC PARTICLE INSPECTION REQUIREMENT


 


The
following conditions apply to the inspection:


 


1.
There shall be a minimum 21 day incubation period after welding before the
inspection is performed.


 


2. The
inspected surface shall be bare steel or primer only.


 


Repairs
of cracks shall be performed by a procedure approved by the program manager’s
office. The repair procedure shall include a firing record indicating that the
repaired area meets the AP threat requirement for that surface. This procedure
should be added and signed on FIR.


 


Should
no cracks be found in a statistically significant number of hulls indicating
that all the manufacturing processes are under control, the magnetic particle
inspection will be waived by the program manager’s office.
