2.2 Statement of Work
Subject The Federal Bureau of Prisons, Field Acquisition Office, Grand Prairie, Texas intends to make a single award of an indefinite delivery requirements type contract with firm fixed pricing for the provision of (3) technical certificate programs: Quality Assurance and Supervision; Logistics and Transportation Management; and Substance Abuse Counseling Provider. Located at the Federal Correctional Institution in Memphis, Tennessee.
Place of Performance The services will be performed in the Education Department of FCI Memphis, located at 1101 John A Denie Rd, Memphis, TN 38134 and FPC Memphis, located at 6696 Navy Rd, Millington, Tennessee 38053. General information regarding the Bureau of Prison (BOP) is located at www.bop.gov.
Schedule of Performance The courses for each program shall be instructed utilizing one (1) hour sessions of classroom instruction, with an estimated number of six (6) or eight (8) instructional sessions per week for 2 semesters annually or as deemed necessary by the contractor and Supervisor of Education.
Typically, the contractor will provide services Monday through Thursday, from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm, excluding Federal holidays; subject to change as agreed upon by the SOE and Contractor.
Other days/hours may be implemented if necessary to meet program requirements and these days/hours may be adjusted to meet the needs of the institution. Any breaks in service, including lunch breaks, will be unpaid. (Specific dates for the classes will be determined by the Supervisor of Education and the contractor). Estimated annual semesters are approximately 2-semesters per 12-month period, and will typically operate from January through September (spring and summer semesters). The semesters are on a requirements basis; therefore, schedule and semesters, as well as class sessions may change. The unit will be each, which is defined as an inmate or student. The course shall be completed within a 12 month period.
The Logistics and Transportation Management Program shall have the following breakdown:

The Quality Assurance and Supervision Program shall have the following breakdown: FCI Memphis 15 minimal and 20 maximum per semester; FPC Memphis 8 minimal and 12 maximum per semester.
The Substance Abuse Counseling Program shall have the following breakdown: FCI Memphis 15 minimal and 20 maximum per semester.
Due to the nature of the correctional setting, work sessions may be delayed or cancelled with little notice. The reasons for such delays may include but are not limited to inclement weather and institution/base emergencies. When an instructor placed on site by the contractor reports to the institution but is unable to deliver services because of such delays, the contractor will be paid for one (1) session. Normally, any remaining sessions for that day will be suspended, and the instructor will be free to leave; the contractor will not be paid for the remaining unperformed sessions.
In the event of any instructor’s absence, the contractor shall provide replacement coverage. If the contractor fails to provide coverage, the Government may seek contractual remedy.
Supplies and Equipment The contractor will provide the following supplies, equipment, and curriculum materials: All textbooks, workbooks, paper, pencils, pens, folders, worksheets, and copies needed for course study and completion. Textbooks will be provided by the contractor for the base year and each additional year as needed (for new students above the number of the previous year enrollment and to replace damaged or lost books).

Method of Performance The contractor will provide instruction for Quality Assurance and Supervision; Logistics and Transportation Management; and Substance Abuse Counseling in accordance with Bureau of Prisons Program Statement 5353.01, Occupational Education Programs, and Bureau of Prisons Program Statement 5300.21, Education, Training and Leisure Time Program Standards. General information regarding the Bureau of Prison policy is located at www.bop.gov. 20 -40 percent of the curriculum's competencies must be hands-on replication of the actual work environment.
Application of hands-on work must be occupational in nature. An institution live work project may be utilized to demonstrate or apply hands-on competencies.

Marketable programs shall afford inmates the opportunity to gain in demand skills in a specific occupation, industry, or trade. The marketable programs must qualify inmate graduates for at least an entry-level position as an administrative service manager and/or sales representative;
wholesale and manufacturing, purchasing, transportation, storage and/or distribution services; or Substance Abuse Counselor, depending on the program completed by the inmate. As a precondition of the proposal for the contract, the contractor shall specify in writing to the Supervisor of Education the position(s) of employment for which inmate graduates will be eligible to apply.
Scope of Performance The Supervisor of Education shall determine the minimum and maximum number of enrollments. An AOE Liaison and/or instructors placed on site by the contractor are responsible for the maintenance of transcripts, student attendance records, statistics, and certification records.
The contractor will provide a written curriculum which establishes measurable behavioral objectives and procedures. The curriculum must include clear criteria which establish minimum expectations for program completion, provisions for the assessment of student progress, must identify the hands-on competencies and must require the students to demonstrate them. In addition to core classes needed to attain a college certificate or an industry-accepted certificate, the curriculum must also include a course on resume development.
The contractor shall assist in the recruitment of employers affiliated with the identified occupation to participate in the institution's mock job fair.

The occupational education program must fall under the provider’s umbrella of accreditation and lead to transferrable credits resulting in a college certificate, A.A., A.A.S. or A.S. degree.
Industry-accepted certification is also acceptable. Providers must be accredited by a recognized accrediting agency. If required for employment, certification tests from outside organizations may be administered to individual inmates upon completion of a specific occupational education program. However, the individual skill competency certification will not replace the training program’s overall accreditation.
The occupational education program must lead to a college certificate, A.A., A. S., A.A.S. or industry-recognized certificate qualifying inmates for at least an entry-level position of employment. Credits earned from the college certificate, A.A., A.S., or A.A.S. must be transferrable to a four-year college.
Attire The contractor is expected to wear professional clothing while on duty. The attire worn shall also be appropriate for the correctional environment in which the contract employee will be performing.
Inmate/Classroom Management Provisions of service under this contract will require instructors placed on site to have frequent and unsupervised contact with inmates.

c. Contractor Personnel must undergo a BI commensurate with the designated risk level associated with the duties of each position. Outlined below are the minimum BI requirements for each risk level:
High Risk - Background Investigation (5 year scope) Moderate Risk - Limited Background Investigation (LBI) or Minimum
Background Investigation (MBI) Low Risk - National Agency Check with Inquiries (NACI) investigation
d. The pre-appointment BI waiver requirements for all position sensitivity levels are a:
1) Favorable review of the security questionnaire form;
2) Favorable fingerprint results;
3) Favorable credit report, if required;3
4) Waiver request memorandum, including both the Office of Personnel Management schedule date and position sensitivity/risk level; and
5) Favorable review of the National Agency Check (NAC) 4 portion of the applicable BI that is determined by position sensitivity/risk level.
A badge may be issued following approval of the above waiver requirements.
If the NAC is not received within five days of OPM's scheduling date, the badge can be issued based on a favorable review of the Security Questionnaire and the Federal Bureau of Investigation Criminal History Check (i.e., fingerprint check results).
e. Badge re-validation will occur once the investigation is completed and favorably adjudicated.
If the BI results so justify, badges issued under these procedures will be suspended or revoked.
2. Short-Term Contractor Personnel:
It is the policy of the DOJ that short-term contractors having access to DOJ information systems and/or DOJ facilities or space for six months or fewer are subject to the identity proofing requirements listed in items 1a. and 1b. above. The pre-appointment waiver requirements for short-term contractors are:
a. Favorable review of the security questionnaire form;
b. Favorable fingerprint results;
c. Favorable credit report, if required;5 and
d. Waiver request memorandum indicating both the position sensitivity/risk level and the duration of the appointment. The commensurate BI does not need to be initiated.
A badge may be issued following approval of the above waiver requirements and the badge will expire six months from the date of issuance. This process can only be used once for a short-term contractor in a twelve month period. This will ensure that any consecutive short-term appointments are subject to the full PIV-I identity proofing process.
For example, if a contractor employee requires daily access for a three or four-week period, this contractor would be cleared according to the above short-term requirements. However, if a second request is submitted for the same contractor employee within a twelve-month period for the purpose of extending the initial contract or for employment under a totally different contract for another three or four-week period, this contractor would now be considered "long-term" and must be cleared according to the long-term requirements as stated in this interim policy.
3. Intermittent Contractors:
An exception to the above-mentioned short-term requirements would be intermittent contractors.
a. For purposes of this policy, "intermittent" is defined as those contractor employees needing access to DOJ information systems and/or DOJ facilities or space for a maximum of one day per week, regardless of the duration of the required intermittent access. For example, the water delivery contractor that delivers water one time each week and is working on a one-year contract.
b. Contractors requiring intermittent access should follow the Department's escort policy.
Please reference the August 11, 2004, and January 29, 2001, Department Security Officer policy memoranda that conveys the requirements for contractor facility escorted access.
c. Due to extenuating circumstances, if a component requests unescorted access or DOJ IT system access for an intermittent contractor, the same pre-employment background investigation waiver requirements that apply to short-term contractors are required.
d. If an intermittent contractor is approved for unescorted access, the contractor will only be issued a daily badge. The daily badge will be issued upon entrance into a DOJ facility or space and must be returned upon exiting the same facility or space.
e. If an intermittent contractor is approved for unescorted access, the approval will not exceed one year. If the intermittent contractor requires unescorted access beyond one year, the contractor will need to be re-approved each year.
4. An individual transferring from another department or agency shall not be re-adjudicated provided the individual has a current (within the last five years), favorably adjudicated BI meeting HSPD-12 and DOJ's BI requirements.
5. The DOJ's current escorted contractor policy remains unchanged by this acquisition notice.
Notes:
1. FIPS 201 is available at: www.csrc.nist.gov/publications/fips/fips201/FIPS-201-022505.pdf
2. Under HSPD-12, long-term contractors are contractors having access to DOJ information systems and/or DOJ facilities or space for six months or longer. The PIV-I identity proofing process, including initiation and adjudication of the required background investigation, is required for all new long-term contractors regardless of whether it is the current practice to issue a badge. The second phase of HSPD-12 implementation (PIV-II) requires badge issuance to all affected long-term contractors.
3. For contractors in position sensitivity/risk levels above level 1, a favorable review of a credit check is required as part of the pre-appointment waiver package.
4. In order to avoid a delay in the hiring process, components should request an Advance NAC Report when initiating investigations to OPM. Per OPM ' s instructions, to obtain an Advance NAC Report, a Code " 3" must be placed in block " B " of the " Agency Use Only " section of the investigative form. This report is available for all case types.
5.For contractors in position sensitivity/risk levels above level 1, a favorable review of a credit check is required as part of the pre-appointment waiver package.

BOP 52.218-000 Continuing Contract Performance During a Pandemic Influenza or other National Emergency (May 2008)
During a Pandemic or other emergency, we understand that our contractor workforce will experience the same high levels of absenteeism as our Federal employees. Although the Excusable Delays and Termination for Default clauses used in Government contracts list epidemics and quarantine restrictions among the reasons to excuse delays in contract performance, we expect our contractors to make reasonable effort to keep performance at an acceptable level during emergency periods. The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has provided guidance to Federal managers and employees on the kinds of actions to be taken to ensure the continuity of operations during emergency periods. This guidance is also applicable to our contract workforce. Contractors are expected to have reasonable policies in place for continuing work performance, particularly those performing mission critical services during a pandemic influenza or other emergency situation.
The types of actions a Federal contractor should reasonably take to help ensure performance are:
• Encourage employees to get inoculations or follow other preventive measures as advised by the public health service.
• Contractors should cross-train workers as backup for all positions performing critical services.
This is particularly important for work such as guard services where telework is not an option.
• Implement telework to the greatest extent possible in the workgroup so systems are in place to support successful remote work in an emergency.
• Communicate expectations to all employees regarding their roles and responsibilities in relation to remote work in the event of a pandemic health crisis or other emergency.
• Establish communication processes to notify employees of activation of this plan.
• Integrate pandemic health crisis response expectations into telework agreements.
• With the employee, assess requirements for working at home (supplies and equipment needed for an extended telework period). Security concerns should be considered in making equipment choices; agencies or contractors may wish to avoid use of employees’ personal computers and provide them with PCs or laptops as appropriate.
• Determine how all employees who may telework will communicate with one another and with management to accomplish work.
• Practice telework regularly to ensure effectiveness.
• Make it clear that in emergency situations, employees must performance all duties assigned by management, even if they are outside usual or customary duties.
• Identify how time and attendance will be maintained.
It is the contractor’s responsibility to advise the Government Contracting Officer if they anticipate not being able to perform and to work with the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) to fill gaps as necessary. This means direct communication with the Contracting Officer or in his/her absence, the Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative, via telephone or e-mail messages acknowledging the contractor’s notification. The incumbent contractor is responsible for assisting the BOP in estimating the adverse impacts of nonperformance and to work diligently with the BOP to develop a strategy for maintaining continuity of operations.
The BOP does reserve the right in such emergency situations to use Federal employees, employees of other agencies, contracting support from other existing contractors, or to enter into new contracts for critical support services. Any new contracting efforts would be acquired following the guidance in the Office of Federal Policy issuance “Emergency Acquisitions”, dated May 2007 and Subpart 18.2, Emergency Acquisition Flexibilities, of the Federal Acquisition Regulations.

Such notice shall include the contractor's recommendations for the protection and the safety of Government, contractor and subcontractor personnel and property that may be exposed to the unsafe condition.
(e) When the Government receives notice of an unsafe condition from the contractor, the parties will agree on a course of action to mitigate the effects of that condition and, if necessary, the contract will be amended. Failure to agree on a course of action will constitute a dispute under the Disputes clause of this contract.
(f) Nothing contained in this clause shall relieve the contractor or subcontractors from complying with applicable Federal, State, and local laws, codes, ordinances and regulations (including the obtaining of licenses and permits) in connection with hazardous material including but not limited to the use, disturbance, or disposal of such material.
