Examples of these activities are system level © acquisitionmanagement, data management, cost/schedule/performance management, contract andsubcontract management, production management, and logistics support

B. SYSTEMS ENGINEERING
The Systems Engineering element refers to the efforts of planning, directing and controlling atotally integrated engineering effort for the system. This item includes, but is not limited to,design engineering, specialty engineering, production engineering, configuration management,system security, system safety, range safety, hazardous materials management, and logisticssupport analysis. It includes the system engineering activities necessary to integrate thesubsystems, as applicable, into a complete end item. The design and production engineeringrelated to the subsystems or components is included with that subsystem or component.

C. RISK REDUCTION DEMONSTRATIONS
The risk reduction demonstrations element refers to the planning and conducting ofdemonstrations and trade analysis to reduce the risk of the overall program. Thesedemonstrations include but are not limited to demonstrations of state©of©the©art technologies,novel engineering approaches, new processes, and models. Trade analysis will encompassdesign and associated process capability analysis. The Offeror will identify performancemeasures, critical design characteristics to meet performance, and critical processes required tomeet the design.

D. PAYLOAD MISSION ANALYSIS The payload mission analysis element refers to the effort required to establish and implementintegration requirements to unite Government provided payloads with the launch system toachieve the specified orbit. Included are those activities required to assure successful design andoperation of all interfaces. Interface design and mission design activities are included.

E. SYSTEM TEST & EVALUATION
The system test and evaluation element refers to the use of prototype, production, or speciallyfabricated hardware/software to obtain or validate engineering data on the performance of thesystem during the development phase. This item includes the detailed planning, conduct,support, data reduction and reports for such testing. It also includes all effort associated with thedesign and production of models, specimens, fixtures and instrumentation in support of thesystem level test program. Test articles which are complete units (i.e. functionally configuredper the system specs) are excluded. All formal and informal testing up through the subsystemlevel which can be associated with the hardware/software element are excluded. Acceptancetesting is also excluded. These excluded efforts are to be included with the appropriate hardwareor software elements.

F. LAUNCH VEHICLE
The launch vehicle element refers to the flight hardware and software required to insert theGovernment furnished payload into the proper orbit. This element includes, but is not limited to,design, development, production, integration, test, delivery, and support of flight hardware andsoftware. The unique payload mission peculiar hardware and software, that is not provided bythe payload manufacturer, is also included.

G. GROUND COMMAND, CONTROL, COMMUNICATIONS AND MISSIONEQUIPMENT (GC3ME)
The GC3ME element includes the non©recurring effort required to design, develop, test, produce,and deliver the ground hardware and software for communications, monitoring, and groundcontrol between the launch vehicle/space vehicle and ground processing stations. Effort requiredto modify these systems is included in this element. It includes all sensors, telemetry, tracking,and control, external communications, data processing equipment, automated launch processingequipment, software, and auxiliary equipment required for conducting EELV system missionplanning, launch processing, health management, launch operations, and flight operations.

H. SUPPORT EQUIPMENT
The support equipment element includes all efforts required to design, develop, test, produce,and provide initial delivery of all new or replacement peculiar and common support equipment(including hardware and software) required to operate, support, and maintain the EELV program. This element also includes the software support environment(s) necessary to support the
deliverable software post©deployment. It includes all support equipment for mission planning,launch vehicle integration, payload integration, mission element integration, launch operations,flight operations, recovery operations (if applicable), reusable hardware refurbishment (ifapplicable), readiness, maintenance, and logistics support. Support Equipment includes all testand measurement equipment, support and handling equipment, and software and tools required tofuel, transport, hoist, repair, assemble, test, or inspect EELV hardware.

I. OPERATIONAL SITE ACTIVATION
The operational site activation element refers to the construction, conversion, or expansion ofroadways, real estate, utilities, and buildings/facilities required to house, service, process, launch,and support flight hardware/software. Also included are any efforts due to environmentalconcerns or laws regarding impacts to the human, ecological, or biospherical environment. Italso includes installation design, system assembly, installation and checkout, ground systemtests, pathfinder operations, and integrated system tests for ground command, control,communications and mission equipment/software, and support equipment/software.

J. FLIGHT SUPPORT OPERATIONS & SERVICES
The flight support operations and services element refers to the activities at the launch andoperations sites required to receive, inspect, store, process, mate the payload, checkout, monitor,test, launch, control, track, recover (if applicable), and logistically support the EELV system. Logistics support includes inventory control, purchasing, replenishment spares and repair partsprovisioning, consumables supply, launch vehicle maintenance, software maintenance, partsrepair/refurbishment, parts cleaning, packaging, handling, storage, transportation, CoreAutomated Maintenance System (CAMS), Standard Base Supply System (SBSS), wastedisposal, and training. It also refers to the maintenance and refurbishment of the facilities andequipment (GC3ME and Support Equipment) at the launch base required during the life of thesystem.

K. DATA
The data element refers to all deliverable data required to be listed on a Contract DataRequirements List, DD Form 1423. The effort required for initial generation of the data isallocated to the WBS item for which it was created. Included is the assembly, reproduction,packaging, shipping, and storage of the data. Also included is the effort for transforming into
Government format with reproduction and shipment if the data is identical to that used by theContractor, but in a different format.

L. INDUSTRIAL FACILITIES
Industrial facilities refers to the construction, conversion, or expansion of industrial facilities forproduction, inventory, and Contractor depot maintenance required when that service is for thespecific system. This includes, for example, equipment acquisition or modernization, whereapplicable, and maintenance of these facilities or equipment. This also includes industrialfacilities for hazardous waste management to satisfy environmental standards.

M. INITIAL SPARES AND REPAIR PARTS
Initial spares and repair parts include the deliverable spare components, assemblies, andsubassemblies used for initial replacement purposes in the materiel system equipment end item. This includes the repairable spares and repair parts required as initial storage to support andmaintain newly fielded systems or subsystems during the initial phase of service, at all levels ofmaintenance and support.

N. INSURANCE/PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE
This includes such elements as reflight insurance, performance incentives, mission successincentives, subcontractor incentives and fees, and Failure Liability Indemnification Plan (FLIP).
