B - SUPPLIES/SERVICES AND PRICE/COSTS

B.1 OVERVIEW

The purpose of this contract is to develop a partnership with a Contractor for delivering foreign law enforcement training and performing other related activities in a manner that achieves the Global Antiterrorism Training Assistance (GATA) specialized foreign assistance mission. The GATA program is currently facilitated through a network of almost 1,000 professional (independent contractor) instructors and subject matter experts who are the face of ATA to the Partner Nations. The individual position descriptions include an equivalent GS pay grade that shall be used as a basis for compensation. The Contractor shall maintain a program management office (PMO) and administrative staff, of sufficient size and capability to manage and subcontract with the instructor pool, deploy international mobile training teams, coordinate training logistics, and manage Government and Contractor furnished material.

B.2 CONTRACT TYPE

A base contract will be awarded to four (4) Contractors and will be an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. The contract will be comprised of Firm Fixed Price (FFP) training delivery prices (Attachment 6), fully burdened Daily Instructor Labor Rates (Attachment 4) and the Contractor’s provisional indirect rates (i.e., overhead, fringe, general and administration and fee) and Cost Reimbursable items. This is a CAS covered contract. The base contract will be comprised of a one (1) year base period and four

(4) one (1) year exercisable option periods.

Four Task Orders (TO) will be awarded, three (3) multi-regional, as defined in Section G.5 Task Orders, and one (1) for the worldwide Special Program Embassy Augmentation Response (SPEAR) program. The TOs will utilize a combination of the FFP standard training deliveries, the Daily Instructor Labor Rates for development of non-standard deliveries or altered standard deliveries and cost reimbursable items (i.e., Travel, ODC and DBA insurance).

The TOs awarded under the IDIQ base contract will be issued with a twelve (12) month base period and four (4) one (1) year exercisable option periods. The designated workload of each associated TO is predicated upon the specific Partner Nations’ authorized foreign assistance funding, additional TOs may be issued at any time during the contractual periods of performance. TO performance periods will be specified in the individual TO and are independent of the IDIQ contract expiration date.

B.3 MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM QUANTITIES

1. The Government agrees to meet the contract minimum of $10,000.00 (inclusive of all direct costs, indirect costs, and profit/fee) through the issuance of task order(s) during the contractual period of performance, to include any option periods, if exercised.

2. The maximum quantity for all IDIQ contracts and associated TOs during the contractual periods of performance shall not exceed $650,000,000.

B.4 PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE

This contract is comprised of one-year base period and four one-year option periods. The base year includes a sixty (60) day transition period. The CO can extend the term of the contract for an additional six months in accordance with FAR 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services clause contained in Section I.

B.5 CONTRACT PRICING

The course titles, course acronyms, course descriptions, number of instructors, composition of the instructor teams, the required course days and course hours per day are included as Attachment 1.

The Instructor’s Position Descriptions (PD) for each delivery, including an equivalent GS grade and step commensurate with the required knowledge, skills and abilities is included as Attachment 2.

The Daily Instructor Wages for each delivery (i.e., equivalent GS grade and step multiplied by the respective course days) that shall be paid by the Contractor as a basis for instructor compensation is included as Attachment 3. These wages are considered a required minimum daily wage. If the contractor determines a higher wage is necessary, they must propose appropriately. These values do not change regardless of hours worked in a day. A Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) has been applied to the Instructor Daily Wages and is fixed at 3.5% per year and shall not be adjusted or changed. To ensure compliance, the Contractor may be subject to random or routine payroll reviews.

The Daily Instructor Labor Rates for each delivery (i.e., fully burdened daily instructor wages) that shall be used for the alteration of standard FFP deliveries and/or the development of non-standard deliveries are included as Attachment 4.

As described in Section C.7.1 Delivery Requests (DR), training services will be requested via specific Delivery Requests (DR), issued by ATA, to initiate action on training deliveries scheduled by ATA Program Managers. The Contractor will provide a Delivery Quote (DQ) pricing all elements identified in the DR in accordance with this Section B.5 Contract Pricing.

B.5.1 Standard Training Deliveries CLIN 0001, 1001, 2001, 3001 and 4001 - Standard course prices are firm-fixed prices (FFP) for the base year and all option periods.

The course prices are predicated on the Daily Instructor Labor Rates and an allocation of the program management office costs. The Standard Course Prices are incorporated as Attachment 6. The associated travel charges are cost reimbursable. Altered Standard Courses will be developed using the standard course FFP, altered up or down using the Daily Instructor Labor Rates as appropriate to reflect the Delivery Request Requirements.

B.5.2 Non-Standard Training Deliveries CLIN 0002, 1002, 2002, 3002 and 4002 – Non-Standard delivery prices will be generated on an as-needed basis and shall utilize the FFP Daily Instructor Labor Rates multiplied by the number of days requested. Non-standard deliveries, developed with solely daily labor rates will be allowed to include a FFP Program Management Office fee as noted in Attachment 6 of the contract. Once calculated the resultant training delivery labor price will be FFP.

B.5.3 COTS/Specialized Third Party Training Deliveries CLIN 0003, 1003, 2003, 3003 and 4003 - The Contractor may provide all-inclusive deliveries through a third party, Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) subcontractor, specializing in the requested performance. Specific requirements will be detailed in individual DRs. These deliveries shall be quoted as FFP and shall include all instruction, course materials, equipment, and instructor travel, at a minimum. In situations where ATA requires delivery of a series of related courses in a particular Partner Nation or region, the Contractor shall use the same third-party provider for all subsequent training unless otherwise approved by ATA. Delivery support for COTS training deliveries shall be provided by the Contractor IAW Section C.7.2 Delivery Support Plan/Logistics Services. The utilization of COTS deliveries is only when required to meet specialized training requirements and must be authorized in advance by the Contracting Officer.

B.5.4 Daily Instructor Labor Rates Daily Instructor Rates are fully loaded daily rates. They include the daily wage for each instructor (Attachment 3) plus appropriate indirect costs as supported by the Contractors standard accounting practices. The Daily Instructor Labor Rates may be used for the alteration of standard deliveries and/or the development of non-standard deliveries. The FFP course price may be adjusted utilizing the Daily Instructor Labor Rates in Attachment 4. For example, if ATA elects to add a train-the-trainer or short-term mentor component to the delivery, the additional days would be priced at the Daily Instructor Labor Rates for the number of instructors that are needed, times the number of extra days. Daily instructor labor rates are computed on a flat-rate daily basis, not hourly. This clause serves as guidance for adjustments of days required for potential variances in standard and non-standard deliveries (i.e., course extensions or reductions, instructor additions or removals).

B.5.5 Program Management Office (PMO) The Contractor shall provide and maintain a program management office and administrative staff sufficient to perform the services required under Section C.7 Program Management. These services include but are not limited to: responding to delivery requests (DR) for quotes, recruiting for and managing the instructor pool, deploying international mobile training teams, coordinating training, arranging for and oversee in-country delivery support and logistics, and managing Government and Contractor furnished material.

Should the Contractor choose to subcontract any of these logistical services to coordinate and deliver the required training, those costs shall be included in the Firm Fixed PMO per delivery price and NOT priced separately on a training delivery quote.

Section C - Descriptions/Specifications/Statement of Work

C - STATEMENT OF WORK

C.1 INTRODUCTION

The Department of State (DOS), Bureau of Diplomatic Security (DS), Office of Antiterrorism Assistance (ATA) has a requirement for U.S. Contractors to facilitate foreign law enforcement training and perform other related activities. The Contractor shall be required to perform these services in both CONUS and OCONUS locations including remote training sites in medium to high threat and austere environments. The Contractor shall support ATA programs during periods of instability, reconstruction, and overseas operations.

C.2 BACKGROUND

The Foreign Assistance Act authorized the President to provide assistance to foreign countries to deter terrorist and terrorist groups from engaging in international acts. The law authorized this assistance in the form of training, commodities and equipment that would help deter and prevent acts of terrorism and manage such incidents if they occur. The program started as an initiative and expanded in scope following the 1983 attack on the U.S. Embassy in Beirut, subsequent attacks in Tanzania and Kenya and the 2001 attack on the U.S. homeland.

ATA is the premier provider of counterterrorism training and capacity building for the U.S. Department of State. ATA is a successful partnership between the DOS Bureau of Counterterrorism (CT), which provides policy guidance and DS, which manages the operational implementation of the program. ATA serves as the primary provider of U.S. government antiterrorism training to foreign law enforcement agencies of Partner Nations.

ATA officers work with the Partner Nation to identify program needs ranging from bomb detection and neutralization, crime scene investigation, airport and building security, harbor security, and VIP protection. ATA then formulates a foreign assistance plan that is uniquely tailored to the program needs of the Partner Nation, and implements the plan in the form of advanced training, technical assistance, equipment grants including computers and software encapsulated around modern, humane, and effective antiterrorism techniques.

The Global Antiterrorism Training Assistance (GATA) Training Delivery contract represents an advanced and specialized foreign assistance program that provides foreign law enforcement with instructional training. The customer for these services is ATA however the actual recipient of the training will be vetted foreign police and civilian security officials within the Partner Nation. Instruction ranges from small unit police tactical training and classroom courses to senior executive seminars, consultations, and technical assessments, including many knowledge-based and skills-based disciplines necessary for an effective antiterrorism capability. Since its inception in 1983, the ATA program has trained over 150,000 foreign law enforcement and civilian government officials in over 154 countries.

C.3 MISSION AND OBJECTIVE

The mission of ATA is to advance U.S. foreign policy goals, create strong bilateral relations, foster cooperative efforts between U.S.

law enforcement agencies and foreign partners and increase respect for global human rights. ATA programs are key components to increasing the capability and capacity of Partner Nations to take strong, decisive action against terrorism. As such, ATA enhances the antiterrorism awareness and skills of foreign law enforcement and security officials.

The objective of this contract is to strengthen Partner Nation capabilities to combat terrorism and build upon a trusted network of law enforcement officers while improving ATA’s technical capabilities.

C.4 TRAINING DELIVERIES AND PROGRAMS

ATA offers numerous courses spanning twelve (12) training categories. The courses are comprised of standard, customized, high risk and special programs. The attached historical workload table (Attachment 8) provides all the training courses taught by ATA, by region, by category, over the last three (3) fiscal years. The current set of training categories follows:

• Chemical Biological Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN)

• Senior Investigative & Crisis Management

• Cyber

• Explosives

• Homeland Security

• Police Operations

• Police Training

• Maritime Operations

• Law Enforcement Management

• Protection of National Leaders

• Police Tactical

• Infrastructure Security

All ATA course curricula incorporate and cover two (2) additional mandatory modules, Community Engagement and Human Rights, and Terrorist Trends and Tactics. There is also a Train the Trainer add-on that can be incorporated in any of the courses. Courses may be added or subtracted.

C.4.1 Standard Courses Standard courses follow a pre-written curriculum provided to the Contractor by ATA. The courses include pre- and post-tests, skills evaluations, courses, participant data sheets and participant critiques. Contractor personnel shall administer the materials in compliance with the curriculum and return them to ATA as part of the End of Course Reports (ECR). Contractor personnel shall not modify or revise standard course materials.

C.4.2 Non-standard Deliveries ATA is a dynamic organization that develops and delivers a wide range of specialized antiterrorism programs. Non-standard training deliveries include technical assistance, consultations and special programs that typically do not have a standard curriculum. These specialized programs may be technical, tactical, or management and are conducted primarily OCONUS. The most-requested program descriptions and subject matter expert qualifications are included in Attachments 1 and 2 but are continually reviewed and periodically revised to meet program objectives.

ATA will specify development requirements and milestones in each delivery request (DR). The Contractor shall provide program material to ATA for review in accordance with the DR’s requirements and milestones and shall revise program material as required.

The Training Curriculum Division (TCD) will be substantially involved in the development and approval of the Contractor’s proposed program materials. When required, the Contractor will translate, print and ship approved program materials before the start of the program activity.

As specified in each DR, the Contractor shall provide subject matter experts, program coordinators, and training support specialists with expertise in developing and delivering non-standard training for foreign adult learners. ATA will review the qualifications of proposed subject matter experts and either approve or reject the candidates for a particular assignment.

C.4.2.1 Consultations and Exercises Using an extensive network within the security and law enforcement community of the United States, the Contractor shall provide senior subject-matter-experts to work in partnership with ATA, Post and Partner Nations to design unique consultations focused on a particular area of antiterrorism assistance. A consultation is a fully customized training delivery based on specialized partner nation training requirements. Consultations may involve a pre-deployment site survey to the Partner Nation and Post to formulate a detailed assessment of pre- and post- training needs. A typical consultation has two components—the development of the training product, and the delivery of the training. The Contractor shall develop and implement consultations in conjunction with ATA and Post in order to identify and design the best solution to meet the Partner Nation requirement.

Examples of past consultations include critical energy infrastructure protection; light rail security; leadership programs for foreign presidential security details; police media relations; crime labs and DNA forensics; managing a cyber-forensics unit; and customized international visitor leadership exchange programs in US antiterrorism and law enforcement. To address specific needs of specialized police units, ATA has developed special tactical programs for armored vehicle drivers, breaching, weapons and tactics, armorer, urban operations, serving high-risk warrants, hostage negotiation or other advanced technical assistance. Consultations are primarily delivered overseas.

Some consultations are multilateral joint training exercises involving more than one country in a region. Partner Nation participants may have to have international transportation to the training site or sites. Interpreters may need to speak multiple languages. Delivery support/logistics services may be complex and extensive and may need to accommodate multiple cultures. Attachment 17 provides a sample exercise-based DR.

As a follow on to training, ATA may embed mentors with specialized police units to improve skills retention and sustainment.

Mentors may assist the partner nation to establish a train the trainer program or consult on organizational leadership, resource or equipment requirements, or other capacity building activities. Through Post, a Partner Nation may also request assistance with major event security planning or management of consequences or response to a terrorist incident. Mentor-related details will be included in the specific DR.

C.4.2.2 Domestic Special Programs ATA sponsors domestic special programs for senior law enforcement, security officials and policymakers from Partner Nations. These carefully designed programs provide Partner Nations with the opportunity to learn about the ATA antiterrorism program and build lasting relationships.

The Senior Crisis Management Seminar and Antiterrorism Executive Forum are examples of domestic special programs. Other examples are Partner Nation Visitor Programs, the Joint Terrorism Task Force consultation and other short, customized domestic special programs and consultations.

The Contractor shall develop domestic special programs that reflect the ATA sponsorship of the foreign delegation. The Contractor may be asked to provide program development, subject matter experts, instructors, conference space, lodging, and services in accordance with the requirements of the DR. Contractor materials shall include a program guide with relevant information, schedule, biographies, points-of-contact, maps and local points-of-interest.

ATA will provide country background and areas of emphasis, agency representatives to assist with program development. Unless otherwise noted in the individual DR, ATA will provide a language proficient Administrative Escort Officer (AEO). The AEO is available 24/7 to participants in order to facilitate cultural exchange as well as other professional services including emergency medical or dental care.

Substantive after action reports are required as described in Section C.6.3.3, Deliverable Reports. ATA will contribute substantial involvement to and must approve all program content, distinguished and invitational speakers, subject matter experts, professional exchange activities and facilities.

In order to facilitate the exchange with U.S. Government counterparts, academics, practitioners, thought leaders, and agency officials in Washington D.C., the location of delivery for domestic special programs must be within 25 miles of the United States Capitol building. Current domestic special programs are presented at local universities and State Department locations in the Washington D.C.

area. Speakers are academics, current and former Federal, state and local agency officials, and other distinguished individuals with relevant experience in the public or private sector.

C.4.2.3 Executive Seminars ATA may task the Contractor to develop and deliver customized seminars, in conjunction with other service providers, for high-ranking officials. The Executive Seminars are held in an academic or think tank environment designed to foster a high degree of professional interaction and cultural exchange. In most cases, delegates visit several agencies and venues during the seminar.

In addition to program development, facilitation, distinguished speakers and subject matter experts, the Contractor may be required to provide the following services in support of executive seminars:

1. Meet and greet service upon arrival at the airport and light refreshments upon arrival at the conference center and or hotel lodging.

2. Local ground transportation for seminar and approved off-site excursions including weekend sightseeing, shopping, or religious services. The AEO will escort and assist in arranging weekend and evening social or recreational excursions with input from the Contractor.
