Description
PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT
1.0 Background
1.1 Military Sealift Command
Military Sealift Command (MSC) owns and operates approximately 125 ships, including steam turbine, gas
turbine, and diesel engine propelled vessels. These vessels fulfill such varied missions as underway
replenishment, oceanographic research, cable repair, and dry and refrigerated cargo support. The MSC N7
Division is responsible for aspects of ship maintenance, repair, alteration and material readiness for the MSC
fleet. Throughout the period of performance of this contract, new ships will be introduced into the MSC fleet,
ships will undergo life extensions, and ships will be retired from service life.
1.2 Contract
The purpose of this Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract is to develop a vehicle for
procurement to provide new and revised engineering drawings for ships of the fleet. MSC requires contracted
expert survey, drafting, and production drawing support to fulfill its commitments in a timely manner. These
new and revised drawings, diagrams, and sketches are required to be drawn in an electronic format and plotted
in full size and color. Drawing reproduction and conversion services are also required.
This contract will provide non-personal services to Military Sealift Command N7 Engineering Directorate to
provide engineering analysis/calculations, ship checks, engineering system design, and professional AutoCAD
drafting in order to develop and revise engineering drawings. The Contractor shall accurately prepare AutoCAD
drawings for designated systems in accordance with the standard drawings provided as Government Furnished
Information (GFI) and listed in Section 3.2 of this PWS. The Contractor may be required to perform surveys,
ship checks, and analyze as built drawings, red line mark ups, work packages and other correspondence in order
to develop or revise drawings for various engineering disciplines, including, but not limited to, marine
engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, electronics engineering, and naval architecture.
MSC manuals predominantly composed of drawings such as Engineering Operating Manuals and Damage
Control Books shall be updated under this contract. The Government will not provide neither the tablets and
associated software nor AutoCAD software for performance under task orders issued against the contract.

2.0 Specific Tasks:
The Contractor shall create or revise engineering drawings to accurately reflect the ship’s
system/equipment. All drawings shall be accurately prepared and submitted in accordance with the
Government Furnished Information (GFI) references outlined in Paragraph 3.0 of the PWS.
Specific task descriptions, sufficient in detail to allow for contractor performance, shall be provided with
each Task Order (TO) Performance Work Statement (PWS) under this contract. Some work may be quick
turnaround emergent work. Some services may require short notice travel; other work may require a quick
study or analysis.
2.1 Create New Engineering Drawings. The Contractor shall develop new engineering drawings as
described in the Task Order (TO). The Contractor may be required to perform a ship check survey to
develop sketches and notes for the new drawing as well as consult existing engineering drawings, technical
data, work packages, technical manuals and other correspondence as required. The Contractor shall provide
the Technical Point of Contact (TPOC) a complete copy of all ship check notes, sketches, photos, and draft
drawings for quality assurance comparison of the final drawing. Ship check notes, sketches and draft
drawings shall be made using tablet technology where applicable. Tablets should have the ability to
electronically transfer these notes, sketches and draft drawings to the Government QA representative
throughout the ship check allowing the opportunity for oversight.
2.2 Revise Existing Engineering Drawings. The Contractor shall revise engineering drawings as
described in the TO. The TPOC will provide access to PDF, AutoCAD, or paper copy of the drawings to
be revised as available. The Contractor may be required to perform a ship check survey to develop a mark-
up of the original drawing, sketches, and notes as well as consult existing engineering drawings, technical
data, work packages, technical manuals, and other correspondence as required. The Contractor shall
provide the TPOC a complete copy of all ship check notes, sketches, mark-up drawings, photos, and draft
drawings for quality assurance comparison of the final drawing.
2.2.1 Fault Current Analysis, Protective Device Coordination Study and Arc Flash Analysis, when
tasked, shall be performed/developed in SKM Power Tools for Microsoft in accordance with
G.F.I.
2.3 Drawing Conversions. The Contractor shall provide services for conversion of drawings from hard
copy to electronic AutoCAD format and/or PDF format as required by the TO. Drawing conversion shall
also include conversion from raster drawings to vector drawings as well as other document formats (for
example PDF to Excel, PDF to Word). Specifically, the Contractor sha…
