STATEMENT OF WORK - Piece Part Provisioning and Obsolescence Support for the Dy4 DMV-179-2643 AN/AYK-14 (V) Shop Replaceable Assembly (SRA) 1.0 INTRODUCTION SCOPE 1.1 This contract provides for obsolescence management services and parts procurement needed to ensure our ability to manufacture and repair the DMV-179-2643 used as part of the EA6B Multifunctional Information Distribution System (MIDS) CP-2543 AN/AYK-14 (V). BACKGROUND 1.2 The EA6B MIDS AN/AYK-14 (V) configuration includes a Dy4 Commercial-off-the-Shelf (COTS) DMV-179-2643 processor. Use of this COTS non-development item allowed the Navy to introduce this new processor technology to EA6B with lower non-recurring engineering cost. 1.3 Due to decreases in part demand, last time buy opportunities for some DMV-179-2643 piece-parts have been announced by part suppliers. Included in the announcements are the PowerPC main processor chip and Level 2 cache memory parts. Parts obsolescence, if not addressed, will prevent the manufacture of additional DMV-179-2643s. The funding profile of the EA6B program dictates an acquisition approach where the DMV-179-2643 will be procured and fielded over a five-year time-span (i.e. through 2008). Repairs to fielded DMV-179-2643s will be required through 2015. APPLICABILITY 1.4 This Statement of Work applies to the DMV-179-2643 processor card used as part of the AN/AYK-14 (V) EA6B MIDS system. PURPOSE 1.5 The purpose of this task is to perform obsolescence management and related piece-part provisioning to ensure that no obsolete components issues arise which would preclude either Dy4?s ability to continue the manufacture of the DMV-179-2643 or Dy4?s ability to provide repair support. Piece part provisioning for parts that become obsolete after the contract period for this contract will be funded under a follow-on contract. 2.0 REQUIREMENTS 2.1 The DMV-179-2643 shall have the following characteristics: a. 400 MHZ 7400 MPU, 2MB L2 Cache, 256MB SDRAM, 48MB Flash memory, 32 KB non-volatile SRAM, 10/100 Mbit Ethernet, two EIA-422/485 channels, native 179 pinout mode, V8.3.13 FFW or some backward compatible newer version of this firmware. It shall include two DPMC-601-283 (dual) with two MIL-STD-1553 interfaces, 64K MiniACE installed in PMC site #2 (I/O comes out P2, rows A&C) and in PMC site #1, (I/O comes out P0, rows A,B,C,D&E). 2.2 The contractor shall establish a Longevity of Supply (LOS) management program for the Dy4 processor card described in paragraph 2.1 above. The contractor shall provide parts provisioning and LOS support as defined by the requirements of this Statement of Work. 2.3 The contractor shall construct a manufacturing build package and/or changes to the technical data package to reflect the unique configuration of the product, including the customer specific variant in place of the standard Dy4 component number. 2.4 The contractor shall establish an AN/AYK-14 (V) government owned inventory to be separately held for AN/AYK-14 (V) specific Dy4 product. The contractor shall maintain an inventory of parts allocated to the AN/AYK-14 (V) and provide quarterly as part of the Components Review Report Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL) A001. Storage of components will be according to Dy4 standard storage practices. The contractor shall store these parts in accordance with the ?Deliveries or Performance? section of the contract. 2.5 For all buys of the DMV-179-2643 that include parts paid for under this contract, Dy4 shall get written permission via email from PMA-209 prior to making the sale. As DMV-179-2643 cards are procured in the future from an authorized government agent, a credit shall be deducted from the purchase price equal to the price paid under this contract for government owned parts used in the manufacture of the DMV-179-2643. 2.6 The contractor shall provide a complete Bill of Materials for the DMV-179-2643 to the Navy at the beginning and end of the contract period in accordance with CDRL A002. 2.7 On a quarterly basis the contractor shall undertake a complete Bill of Materials (BOM) review for all components of the DMV-179-2643.
