The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, materials, and supervision necessary to deliver non-personal [insert specific service] services at [insert VA facility/location] in accordance with this Performance Work Statement. Contractor employees shall not be subject to direct supervision or control by VA personnel. The work shall be performed to the standards and specifications outlined herein, ensuring timely, professional, and effective service delivery to support VA mission objectives. Comment by Brown, Christina W.: Included The Contractor shall provide all labor, supervision, management, coordination, tools, materials, equipment, documentation, reporting, subcontractor oversight, and technical support necessary to operate, monitor, maintain, repair, and support the Capital Region Readiness Center (CRRC) and associated facilities in accordance with this Performance Work Statement (PWS). All of the included systems shall be maintained in accordance with manufacturer recommendations, applicable codes and standards, industry-recognized best practices, VA requirements, and mission continuity objectives.
The CRRC consists of administrative, mission support, and mission-critical infrastructure spaces, including an approximately 9,300 square foot raised-floor data processing environment supported by critical electrical, mechanical, environmental, fuel, fire protection, and control systems. Although this contract includes conventional facility maintenance activities, the CRRC primarily supports mission-critical VA readiness and Veteran data infrastructure operations requiring high operational availability, technical redundancy, timely corrective response, and continuity of operations.
Representative systems and components may include, but are not limited to, medium- and propertyinclude supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, environmental monitoring systems, chillers, dry coolers, glycol systems, pumps, CRAH units, rooftop HVAC systems, fire detection systems, clean agent fire suppression systems, fuel systems, water treatment systems, lighting systems, controls, instrumentation, alarms, and associated ancillary infrastructure typical of an office environment with a 9300 ft² data floor and associated cyber operations..
The Contractor shall provide continuous twenty-four (24) hour per day, seven (7) day per week onsite operational support and staffing sufficient to support facility monitoring, preventive maintenance coordination, corrective maintenance coordination, emergency response, outage support, operational checks, mission continuity, and restoration activities associated with the CRRC and its critical infrastructure systems. Staffing levels, qualifications, certifications, and shift coverage shall comply with the requirements established within this PWS. Remote monitoring capabilities may supplement onsite staffing but shall not replace required onsite personnel.
The Contractor shall perform or coordinate preventive maintenance, corrective maintenance, inspections, testing, diagnostics, reporting, and operational support activities for covered systems. The Contractor shall coordinate with Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), specialized subcontractors, technical service providers, and factory-authorized representatives where required to support proprietary systems, warranty compliance, controls integration, manufacturer-recommended firmware review assistance, specialized diagnostics, or manufacturer-restricted maintenance activities. OEM-certified personnel shall be utilized where required to maintain manufacturer warranty compliance, proprietary software support, licensed system access, or manufacturer-restricted maintenance activities.
Many CRRC systems support mission-critical operations requiring high availability and operational continuity. Planned outages, maintenance evolutions, testing activities, service interruptions, impairments, and operational changes affecting critical infrastructure shall be minimized and coordinated in advance with the Government. The Contractor shall prepare outage plans, methods of procedure (MOPs), rollback procedures, communication plans, risk mitigation measures, and maintenance schedules for Government review prior to performing work affecting critical systems. Certain activities may require after-hours execution, phased implementation, redundant system support, temporary operating procedures, or Government-approved maintenance windows.
Equipment inventories, attachments, drawings, historical maintenance records, one-line diagrams, sequences of operation, and Government-furnished information are provided for informational and proposal support purposes only and may not reflect all installed components, field conditions, equipment variations, naming conventions, software revisions, or historical modifications. The Contractor shall perform reasonable field verification of covered systems and assets necessary to support contract performance. The Contractor shall not be responsible for maintaining systems unrelated to facility infrastructure or mission-critical operations that were not reasonably identifiable during transition, site investigation, or normal contract performance.
Within thirty (30) calendar days after award, the Contractor shall submit a transition plan, staffing plan, quality control plan, safety plan, communication/escalation matrix, and preliminary asset validation report. The Contractor shall validate Government-furnished equipment information during transition and notify the COR of discrepancies, obsolete equipment, missing data, inaccessible assets, unsupported systems, or field conditions requiring clarification.
The Government will provide available facility information, historical maintenance records, drawings, equipment lists, and site access to the extent available. Information unavailable at the time of solicitation shall be validated during transition and incorporated into the Contractor’s operational and maintenance approach after award.. Comment by Cruz, Andres (OGC): I’m not sure how much information will be available at the time of solicitation. But if to much information is used to change or adjust the operational approach after award this could create scope issues and issues with what contractors thought was needed in their proposals versus what was actually needed based on the new information. Comment by Boynton, Michael: Equipment list is provided. Maintenance is per manufacturer specifications.
The Contractor shall provide, operate, and maintain a computerized maintenance management system (CMMS), or equivalent Government-approved maintenance tracking capability, unless otherwise directed by the Government. The CMMS shall track preventive maintenance activities, corrective maintenance actions, service requests, asset history, deficiencies, recurring failures, inspections, subcontractor activity, labor utilization, parts/material status, and open issues. All recurring reports required under this contract shall be generated from the CMMS unless otherwise approved by the COR. The Contractor shall provide Government personnel access to applicable reports and shall export all contract-related maintenance and asset data to the Government at contract closeout or upon request.
The Contractor shall provide, operate, and maintain a commercially available Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS), or equivalent Government-approved maintenance tracking capability, as part of the fixed-price facility management services required under this contract.
All contract-related maintenance, asset, work-order, inspection, preventive-maintenance, corrective-maintenance, and related records entered into or generated by the CMMS are Government data and shall remain accessible and exportable to the Government throughout contract performance and at transition or contract closeout.
If the Contractor proposes to host, operate, or maintain the CMMS on a non-VA information system or at a non-VA facility, the Contractor shall comply with all applicable VA information-security, privacy, data-protection, system-authorization, interconnection, and cybersecurity requirements based upon the proposed system architecture, hosting environment, data maintained, and method of Government access. Government approval of the proposed CMMS shall be obtained before VA data are placed into the system.
The statement elsewhere in this PWS that a Security Accreditation Package is not required applies to performance of the facility-maintenance requirement itself and shall not be interpreted as exempting a Contractor-hosted information system from otherwise applicable VA cybersecurity or information-system authorization requirements.
Routine CMMS software, licensing, hosting, administration, maintenance, reporting, and Contractor operating costs shall be included in CLIN 0001 unless otherwise specifically identified in the contract price schedule.
The Contractor shall provide recurring reports summarizing work completed, work pending, preventive maintenance compliance, corrective maintenance activities, deficiencies, safety concerns, staffing changes, subcontractor activities, parts/material status, operational trends, recurring failures, and recommendations affecting reliability or mission readiness. Conditions affecting operational continuity, safety, environmental conditions, cybersecurity, security posture, or mission-critical operations shall be reported immediately to the COR and designated Government personnel.
The Contractor shall ensure all personnel possess the licenses, certifications, training, OEM familiarity, and technical experience necessary to perform assigned work safely and competently. Contractor personnel shall comply with all applicable VA safety, privacy, cybersecurity, badging, background investigation, escort, and access requirements. Comment by Cruz, Andres (OGC): Seems like this should go in the contractor qualifications section. Comment by Boynton, Michael: OK The Contractor shall provide a phase-in/phase-out process supporting uninterrupted facility operations and continuity of services. At contract closeout, the Contractor shall provide updated asset inventories, maintenance history, inspection records, preventive maintenance records, open work orders, warranties, recurring deficiencies, operational notes, configuration documentation, and transition support necessary to support continuity of operations and transition to successor personnel or contractors.
The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, materials, and supervision necessary to deliver non-personal [insert specific service] services at [insert VA facility/location] in accordance with this Performance Work Statement. Contractor employees shall not be subject to direct supervision or control by VA personnel. The work shall be performed to the standards and specifications outlined herein, ensuring timely, professional, and effective service delivery to support VA mission objectives.
