PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

Ready Relevant Learning (RRL) support for Center for Explosive Ordnance Disposal and Diving

(CEODD)

1. PART GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 General. The Government will award a non-personal services contract that provides Ready

Relevant Learning (RRL) support for the Center for Explosive Ordnance Disposal and Diving

(CEODD). The Government will not supervise or control the contract service providers performing the services herein. Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the

Contractor, who, in turn, is responsible to the Government.

1.2. Description of Services/Introduction. The Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and non-personal services necessary to perform all functions of RRL support services at CEODD in Panama City, FL, and its two learning sites (LS):

Naval School Explosive Ordnance Disposal (NSEOD), Eglin Air Force Base (AFB), FL

Naval Diving and Salvage Training Center (NDSTC), Panama City, FL

1.3. Background. Naval School Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD), Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, is a jointly staffed school (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps) under the authority of

DoD Directive 5160.62, providing high-risk specialized, basic, and advanced EOD training to

U.S. and partner nation military and selected U.S. Government personnel. Annual student quotas are 2,196.

CEODD is dedicated to excellence in education and is committed to the following:

Quality training

Quality of life

Quality learning environment

Educate students from United States military services, partner nations, and other Government agencies in high-risk environments to qualify as explosive ordnance disposal technicians.

Prepare them morally, mentally, and physically to succeed across the full range of military operations.

CEODD teaches more than 2,000+ students each year in 23 different courses.

The student base includes candidates for submarine SCUBA, US Navy Deep Sea Divers, Seabee

Underwater Construction Divers, Joint Service Diving Officers, Explosive Ordnance Disposal

(EOD) Technicians and Officers, Diving Medical Technicians, Diving Medical Officers, US

Army Engineer Divers, U.S. Marine Corps Combatant Divers, U.S. Coast Guard Divers, and US

Air Force Para rescue Operators and Combat Controllers. A limited number of US law enforcement, US government agencies, and students from allied and coalition nations also train at NDSTC.

NOTE: Commencing in FY23, the EOD rating will initiate RRL review and modernization of curriculum delivery, with the ND rating to be executed in follow-up FYs. The anticipated activities will be expansive and include changes to facilities, systems, classrooms, curriculum delivery, and personnel requirements. The expected effort is beyond the capacity of the current CEODD /

LS staff. The RRL contract will provide subject matter expertise personnel capable of managing the RRL process and allowing current CEODD / LS staff to focus on training qualified EOD / ND personnel to meet Fleet requirements.

1.4. Objectives. The contractor shall oversee and manage "Ready Relevant Learning" activities on behalf of CEODD and its Learning Sites. The contract stipulates a requirement for highly qualified individuals with expertise in Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) and familiarity with the Accession Pipeline in the context of the Navy Diver program. This work's nature is highly technical and falls under the classification of being both restrictive and sensitive to national security.

1.5 Facility security clearance (FCL): The Contractor shall possess and maintain a Secret facility clearance from the Defense Security Service at the time of award and throughout the life of the contract. The Contractor’s employees, performing work in support of this contract shall have been granted a Secret security clearance from the Defense Industrial Security Clearance Office

(within 30 days after award of contract). The DD-254 is provided as Attachment 2. The contractor must possess a facility security clearance (FCL), and the contractor is expected to complete a DD Form 254 after the contract award.

Note: An FCL is a determination made by the Government that a contractor is eligible for access to classified information. The contractor must have an FCL commensurate with a classification level, and access to Secret is required for contract performance (See para. 1.5 Facility security clearance).

Note: A DD Form 254, a DOD Contract Security Classification Specification document, is a legal document that provides the security requirements and classification guidance (See para 6.2 Forms).

1.6. Scope. Center for Explosive Ordnance Disposal and Diving Tasking: CEODD professional trains service men and women in explosive ordnance, where they become future disposal technicians and navy divers.

For the RRL, the contractor will manage the processes focused on Navy specific curriculum presented to approximately 600 ND and EOD candidates annually.

o Proposed EOD accession pipeline will constitute approximately ten individual course lasting approx. 1.5 years. Similarly, proposed ND accession pipeline includes approximately (8) eight individual lasting (9) nine months.

1.7 Ready Relevant Learning: Ready Relevant Learning (RRL) is a transformative initiative within the U.S. Navy to modernize training and education for sailors. It represents a significant shift from traditional training methods by emphasizing the delivery of the right training at the right time and in the right way. RRL comprises three core components:

1. Career-Long Learning Continuum,

2. Modern Delivery at the Point of Need, and

3. Integrated Content Development.

These components work together to ensure that sailors receive continuous and relevant training throughout their careers, aligning training content with the evolving needs of the Navy.

1. In the first stage of RRL, known as Block Learning, the Navy focuses on aligning training with real-world needs by moving some training to the first or second operational tours of sailors. This approach allows sailors to reach their unit’s sooner with the knowledge and skills they need during their initial years onboard.

2. The subsequent stage, Content Modernization, optimizes training content delivery by leveraging technology and learning science principles, filling training gaps, and offering multiple delivery options for efficient learning.

Content Modernization represents the culmination of the RRL journey, where all training content is made accessible to sailors when and where they need it. This stage not only accelerates learning but also minimizes knowledge decay, ensuring that sailors are prepared to operate and maintain equipment at the highest technical level, especially in high-end combat situations. Key initiatives, such as expanding Career-Long Learning Continuums and establishing the Total

Learning Architecture, drive ongoing improvement of training content and delivery methods, transforming the Navy's training landscape and enhancing readiness and performance.

1.8. RRL support personnel: The contractor is critical to the implementation of these initiatives and efforts throughout the duration of this contract. The contractor shall provide all required personnel, instruments, supplies, vehicles, materials, and equipment for RRL services specified in this PWS.

1.8.1 Key Personnel: The contractor’s personnel shall be comprised of (3) key personnel, as detailed below.

1.8.1.1 Program Lead.

1.8.1.2 Process Facilitator (EOD Lead NSEOD).

1.8.1.3 Process Facilitator (ND Lead, NDSTC).

1.8.2 Support Personnel shall be able to perform the following tasks:

1. Technical writing (CEODD).

2. Graphic design/Web content (CEODD).

3. Data Management/Integration (CEODD).

The contract will be in support of CEODD and its Learning Site’. While CEODD and NDSTC are co-located in Panama City, FL. NSEOD is located onboard Eglin AFB (see para. 1.24 for further details on contractor travel requirements).

In accordance with the Navy's core curriculum requirements, which have been formulated by

Navy course curriculum designers, analysts, and researchers and are further guided by the course directives and instructions from NAVSCOLEOD and NETC leadership, along with insights gleaned from hours of research conducted by other subject matter experts, has prescribed key personnel and support personnel that are considered the most suitable staffing levels for RRL course development. These recommendations take into account factors related to course design and staffing limitations by facilities occupancy standards.

In order to obtain base access, an individual need to acquire DoD sponsorship, have a thorough identity check, be properly vetted, and have a legitimate reason for base access. Identity checks require a passport or a Real ID Act-compliant state driver's license. Vetting occurs when the individual's background and ID are compared against authoritative criminal justice databases, and the individual has a letter or official document from the sponsoring organization that articulates the reason for access. When the above criteria are satisfactorily met, DBIDs credentials are issued.

Additional information is available at https://www.cnic.navy.mil/Operations-and-

Management/Base-Support/DBIDS/ .

ACCESS TO DOD INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (IT) SYSTEM

In Accordance With (IAW) Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) M-5510.30, contractor employees who require access to Department of the Navy (DoN) or DoD networks are categorized as IT-I, IT-II, or IT-III. The IT-II level, defined in detail in SECNAV M-5510.30, includes positions which require access to sensitive information. Sensitive information includes information protected under the Privacy Act, to include PHI. All contractor employees under this contract who require access to Privacy Act protected information are therefore categorized no lower than IT-II. IT Levels are determined by the requiring activity's Command Information

System Security Manager (ISSM)/Information Assurance Manager (IAM).

Contractor employees requiring privileged or IT-I level access, (when specified by the terms of the contract) require a Single Scope Background Investigation (SSBI) or T5 or T5R equivalent investigation, which is a higher level investigation than the National Agency Check (NAC) with

Law and Credit (NACLC)/T3/T3R described below. Due to the privileged system access, an investigation suitable for High Risk national security positions is required. Individuals who have access to system control, monitoring, or administration functions (e.g. system administrator, database administrator) require training and certification to Information Assurance (IA)

Technical Level 1, and must be trained and certified on the Operating System (OS) or

Computing Environment (CE) they are required to maintain.

Access to sensitive IT systems is contingent upon a favorably adjudicated background investigation. When access to IT systems is required for performance of the contractor employee's duties, such employees shall in-process with the Navy CSM and ISSM/IAM manager upon arrival to the Navy command and shall out-process prior to their departure at the completion of the individual's performance under the contract. Completion and approval of a

System Authorization Access Request Navy (SAAR-N) form is required for all individuals accessing Navy IT resources. The decision to authorize access to a government IT system/network is inherently governmental. The contractor supervisor is not authorized to sign the SAAR-N; therefore, the government employee with knowledge of the system/network access required or the Contracting Officers Representative (COR) shall sign the SAAR-N as the supervisor.

The SAAR-N shall be forwarded to the CSM at least thirty (30) days prior to the individual's start date. Failure to provide the required documentation at least thirty (30) days prior to the individual's start date may result in delaying the individual's start date.

When required to maintain access to required IT systems or networks, the contractor shall ensure that all employees requiring access complete annual Cyber Awareness training, and maintain a current requisite background investigation. The contractor's security representative shall contact the CSM for guidance when reinvestigations are required.

INTERIM ACCESS

The CSM may authorize issuance of a DoD CAC and interim access to a DoN or DoD unclassified computer/network upon a favorable review of the investigative questionnaire and advance favorable fingerprint results. When the results of the investigation are received and a favorable determination is not made, the contractor employee working on the contract under interim access will be denied access to the computer network and this denial will not relieve the contractor of his/her responsibility to perform.

DENIAL OR TERMINATION OF ACCESS

The potential consequences of any requirement under this clause including denial or termination of physical or system access in no way relieves the contractor from the requirement to execute performance under the contract within the timeframes specified in the contract. Contractors shall plan ahead in processing their employees and subcontractor employees. The contractor shall insert this clause in all subcontracts when the subcontractor is permitted to have unclassified access to a federally controlled facility, federally-controlled information system/network and/or to government information, meaning information not authorized for public release.

CONTRACTOR'S SECURITY REPRESENTATIVE

The contractor shall designate an employee to serve as the contractor's security representative.

Within three (3) work days after contract award, the contractor shall provide to the requiring activity's Security Manager and the Contracting Officer, in writing, the name, title, address and phone number for the contractor's security representative. The contractor's security representative shall be the primary point of contact on any security matter. The contractor's security representative shall not be replaced or removed without prior notice to the Contracting Officer and CSM.

BACKGROUND INVESTIGATION REQUIREMENTS AND SECURITY APPROVAL

PROCESS FOR CONTRACTORS ASSIGNED TO NATIONAL SECURITY POSITIONS

OR PERFORMING SENSITIVE DUTIES

Navy security policy requires that all positions be given a sensitivity value based on level of risk factors to ensure appropriate protective measures are applied. Contractor employees under this contract are recognized as Non-Critical Sensitive [ADP/IT-II] positions when the contract scope of work require physical access to a federally controlled base, facility or activity and/or requiring access to a DoD computer/network, to perform unclassified sensitive duties. This designation is also applied to contractor employees who access Privacy Act and PHI, provide support associated with fiduciary duties, or perform duties that have been identified as National Security

Positions. At a minimum, each contractor employee must be a US citizen and have a favorably completed NACLC or T3 or T3R equivalent investigation to obtain a favorable determination for assignment to a non-critical sensitive or IT-II position. The investigation consists of a standard

NAC and a FBI fingerprint check plus law enforcement checks and credit check. Each contractor employee filling a non-critical sensitive or IT-II position is required to complete:

SF-86 Questionnaire for National Security Positions (or equivalent Office of Personnel

Management (OPM) investigative product)

Two FD-258 Applicant Fingerprint Cards (or an electronic fingerprint submission

Original Signed Release Statements

Failure to provide the required documentation at least thirty (30) days prior to the individual's start date shall result in delaying the individual's start date. Background investigations shall be reinitiated as required to ensure investigations remain current (not older than ten (10) years) throughout the contract performance period. The contractor's security representative shall contact the CSM for guidance when reinvestigations are required.

Regardless of their duties or IT access requirements ALL contractor employees shall in-process with the CSM upon arrival to the command and shall out-process prior to their departure at the completion of the individual's performance under the contract. Employees requiring IT access shall also check-in and check-out with the Navy command's ISSM/IAM. Completion and approval of a SAAR-N form is required for all individuals accessing Navy IT resources. The

SAAR-N shall be forwarded to the Navy CSM at least thirty (30) days prior to the individual's start date. Failure to provide the required documentation at least thirty (30) days prior to the individual's start date shall result in delaying the individual's start date.

The contractor shall ensure that each contract employee requiring access to IT systems or networks complete annual Cyber Awareness training, and maintain a current requisite background investigation. Contractor employees shall accurately complete the required investigative forms prior to submission to the CSM. The CSM will review the submitted documentation for completeness prior to submitting it to the OPM; Potential suitability or security issues identified may render the contractor employee ineligible for the assignment. An unfavorable determination is final (subject to SF-86 appeal procedures) and such a determination does not relieve the contractor from meeting any contractual obligation under the contract. The

CSM will forward the required forms to OPM for processing. Once the investigation is complete, the results will be forwarded by OPM to the DoD Central Adjudication Facility (CAF) for a determination.

If the contractor employee already possesses a current favorably adjudicated investigation, the contractor shall submit a VAR via the JPAS or a hard copy VAR directly from the contractor's security representative. Although the contractor will take JPAS owning role over the contractor employee, the Navy command will take JPAS "Servicing" role over the contractor employee during the hiring process and for the duration of assignment under that contract. The contractor shall include the IT position category per SECNAV M-5510.30 for each employee designated on a VAR. The VAR requires annual renewal for the duration of the employee's performance under the contract.
