PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

NAVSUP NAVAL ACQUISITION DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM (NADP)

CONTRACTOR SUPPORT SERVICES (CSS)

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 The Naval Supply Systems Command’s (NAVSUP) mission is to provide supplies, services, and quality-of-life support to the Navy and Joint warfighter. NAVSUP manages supply chains that provide material for Navy aircraft, surface ships, submarines and their associated weapons systems. NAVSUP provides centralized inventory management for Navy's non-nuclear ordnance stockpile and a wide range of base operating and waterfront logistics support services, coordinating material deliveries, contracting for supplies and services, as well as providing material management and warehousing services.

1.2 The Naval Supply Systems Command Headquarters (NAVSUP HQ) aboard Naval Support Activity Mechanicsburg is responsible for many of the Quality of Life programs that touch the lives of Sailors and their families every day, including Navy Exchanges, Navy Lodges, the Navy Personal Property Program, and the Navy Postal System. NAVSUP administers the Navy Food Service Program, with responsibility for the policies and procedures that govern the day-to-day operations of general messes afloat and ashore.

2.0 SCOPE / OBJECTIVES

2.1 The requested contractor support is organizationally for the Naval Supply Systems Command Headquarters (NAVSUP HQ), Assistant Commander (ACOM) for Corporate Operations, Total Force Division, Talent

Management Branch. The Talent Management Branch is responsible for management and oversight of designated certification programs and positions. The Talent Management Branch is also responsible for implementation and management of the NAVSUP Talent Management System (TMS). This specific request is in support of the NAVSUP Defense Acquisition Workforce Improvement Act (DAWIA) Naval Acquisition Development Program

(NADP).

2.2 The NADP is a premier developmental program within the Department of Defense. The purpose of this up to three-year management program is to train and develop highly skilled professionals to meet projected Department of the Navy Acquisition Workforce requirements. The NADP is comprised of full-time, paid entry level and mid-career employees who are required to obtain DAWIA certification to Level II, complete leadership development training and a rotational assignment and other training requirements of their Individual Development Plan (IDP).

2.3 The purpose of this PWS is to obtain contractor services to provide the support required by the NAVSUP Talent Management Branch for effective and efficient operation of our NADP program. The expertise of a contractor provides NAVSUP NADP an opportunity to pursue implementing new processes, increasing research and development efforts, and upgrading the experience of a NADP employee to retain future talent at NAVSUP.

2.4 The government is relying on contractor’s industry knowledge, experience and expertise to provide a creative, innovative and functional solution to support this requirement. The overall objective is to have a fully contemporary, robust and responsive NADP platform capable of supporting NAVSUP’s real-time operational commitments while addressing its future mission objectives.

3.0 BACKGROUND

3.1 The NADP employee is assigned to a specific DON ‘homeport’ command. The homeport is the specific location of the member’s targeted position upon completion of the program. The program is centrally funded by the Naval Acquisition Career Center (NACC) located in Mechanicsburg, PA. The NADP and DON Commands embrace a shared responsibility to work together to benefit the NADP employee. Each command recruits and selects the best candidates for the program and achieves the competencies on their Master Development Plan. Upon entry into the program, the NADP employee is assigned a Career Field Manager (CFM) located at the employee’s homeport. The CFM is the technical expert and mentor, responsible for the preparing the employee for their future position. The CFM ensures all contents of the employee’s Individual Development Plan are met prior to the program graduation. Upon successful graduation, each command picks up the employee and incorporates them onto the command roster as permanent employees.

3.2 NAVSUP is allocated a certain number of entry level and associate billets each Fiscal Year. To date, the NAVSUP NADP program supports over 60 AWF members across the NAVSUP Enterprise. The NAVSUP Program Manager (PM) oversees the NADP management structure, to include the nomination of Career Field Managers (CFMs). The NADP PM manages the full life cycle of an employee’s time in the NADP from the recruiting process through program graduation.

Each offer submitted will be evaluated separately.

(f) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers:

(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that offers or revisions are due.

(2)(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and--

(A) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of offers; or

(ii) However, a late modification of an otherwise successful offer, that makes its terms more favorable to the Government, will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

(3) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the offer wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel.

(4) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(g) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.
