| Navy Approach to Service Contracting |
| The Department of Navy (DoN) spends over $1 billion in annual obligations to meet global requirements for facility operations and maintenance provided through Facility Support Contracts (FSC) and additional billions to provide other base operations support services (OBOS). The Head of the Contracting Activity (HCA) of the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) has focused increased attention on re-engineering FSC contracts in response to customer and industry feedback, budget constraints, and the impact of a variety of contracting, program management and financial management regulations. The Navy also supports the following principles: |
| 1.8.1 |
| Partnering Philosophy |
| The first principle is that the Navy views its contractors as partners and not just abstract service providers. The Navy wants its contractors to succeed because partners' success drives the Navy's successful mission completion. Within the bounds of acquisition policy the Navy intends to work to find solutions that will be beneficial to both the Government and its partners. |
| 1.8.2 |
| Contractor's Knowledge |
| The second principle is that the Navy will receive insightful management from its contractors. This management will include the knowledge, skills, authority and willingness to use contractor resources to find better ways of serving Navy clients’ strategic and operational goals and objectives. The Navy's use of performance-based objectives evidences this principle. Although performance work statements will typically contain several levels of performance assessment, the Navy wants its contractors to exercise maximum discretion within bounds of prudent risk management to adjust processes and resources needed to reach specified objectives at the highest performance level. |
| 1.8.3 |
| Industry Best Practices |
| The third principle is that the Navy will adopt industry best commercial practices and maintain state-of-the-art service delivery. To that end, the Navy's emphasis will be in evaluating performance objectives (end results). |
| 1.9 |
| Standard Template |
| Key to implementing a programmatic approach is using a standard template that ensures Navy-wide consistency yet affords appropriate tailoring to meet local needs. This contract conforms to the standard template and has been tailored for this solicitation. NAVFAC intends to use this template-based approach for future service contracts. Offerors should develop an understanding of the template as part of performing due diligence in reaching an understanding of the Navy’s requirements and expectations. |
The standard template contains 18 standard annexes. Annex 1 will always contain information that is relevant to the entire scope of the contract. Annex 2 contains on-site project management and administration requirements that are relevant to the entire scope of the contract. Annexes 3 through 18 contain the technical information and requirements peculiar to that technical annex. Within each technical annex, the organization of information and requirements are also standardized. Specification Item 1 will always contain General Information. Specification Item 2 will always contain the management and administrative requirements. Specification Item 3 will always contain the Recurring Work requirements. Specification Item 4 will always contain the Non-Recurring Work requirements. Requirements and standards for higher level specification items apply to all subordinate specification items, e.g., Specification Item 3 standards apply to all recurring work specification items. Specification Item 3.1 is applicable to all 3.1 subordinate specification items. Specification Items 3.2 and 3.3 are not considered subordinate to 3.1. All costs associated with Annexes 1 and 2 and Specification Items 1 and 2 must be priced and their price must be allocated across the Exhibit Line Items.
| 1.10 |
| Navy PBSA Approach |
| The Navy’s approach to performance-based service acquisition (PBSA) includes four component parts which are 1) performance outcomes, 2) measurable standards, 3) consideration of incentives, and 4) performance assessment plan. |
| 1.11 |
| Technical Proposal Certification |
| The Contractor warrants that its proposal incorporated herein by reference will meet or exceed the performance objectives set forth in this contract. |
