Official Answers to Questions

Official Answers to Questions Submitted for

Johnson Space Center Protective Services (JSCPSC) II

80JSC018R0012

Note: The questions that are listed in this document were reproduced exactly as they were submitted.

1. Why is it for this solicitation that NASA is operating contrary to the normal policy of allowing the Prime to get an interim TS and begin performance? Section 2-107 of the

NISPOM allows for an interim Facility clearance upon contract award which would suffice for the TS FCL requirement of this contract.

In our current JV upon award we would also have the ability to separate employees that have current TS clearances to work under the company that holds a current TS FCL for cleared work while our FCL is being processed as an interim FCL. We are aware of what it takes to obtain the FCL clearance because we have been involved with Secret

Clearances on DOJ and DOE contracts and our SBA Mentor/JV partner and DSS have been over the requirements in depth for a TS FCL and we do meet the criteria.

Overall we are kindly requesting that NASA please remove the requirement to possess a

TS FCL at the time of response to the JSC RFP solicitation #80JSC018R0012. This will actually be in NASA's best interest since it will allow for quality contractors that are familiar with the requirements and daily work, to send a quality response to this RFP.

Response:

It is mandatory that NASA and its mission requirements have no disruption to 24 hour operations. The interim TS FCL does not provide a fully credited TS CAGE

Code as required by the PWS. Although an interim FCL and interim CAGE Code will allow a contractor to operate, the risk resides solely with the Government in the event that the selected contractor does not fully meet all requirements of the TS

FCL investigation. Further, the TS FCL process is external to NASA and has an extensive processing period with too many unknown variables for NASA to assume this risk (i.e. DSS schedules and back-log). Therefore, a TS FCL is required at proposal.

2. Section 3.14 – States that Personnel supporting the Personnel Security Task Area shall be cleared at Secret. Does this also include the personnel supporting the Identify & Access

Management task areas?

Response:

Yes.

3. Are Offerors required to include a copy of their Facility Clearance Level letter with their proposal or simply provide a CAGE Code and specify the level of their company’s

Facility Clearance Level?

Please refer to Section L, Table L-3.

4. The instructions for Subfactor B under L.4 (p. L-15 to L-18) includes a statement requiring offers to “demonstrate their understanding of the requirements and the specific labor resources needed to successfully perform the requirements of this Contract.” The section also includes Table L-3, which requires offerors to “Detail the five technical approaches for providing products and services defined in the PWS and in the Table L-3 below.” It is unclear whether offerors are only to detail the technical approaches listed in

Table L-3, which reference different sections of the PWS, or whether it should detail the technical approaches “for products and services defined in the PWS” as a whole.

The requirements, as expressed in the PWS and elsewhere in the RFP, cover nearly 100 pages of text. Adequately demonstrating understanding of these requirements within the

75-page aggregate page limit for Volumes I and II would be very difficult.

Is it the Government's intent that Offeror respond in a fashion that comprehensively addresses our understanding of the full scope of work in addition to completing responses to Table L-3, or is it the Government's intent that Offeror responses to the scenarios given in Table L-3 constitute our “demonstration of understanding”?

Response:

The offerors are required to demonstrate their understanding of the requirements and the specific labor resources needed to successfully perform the requirements of this Contract in addition to completing responses to Table L-3.

5. On February 7, 2018 NASA updated the Acquisition Schedule of the JSCPSC II webpage. The update included posting that the due date for “Past Performance Proposal

Volume Due” has changed from March 5, 2018 to February 14, 2018. Please confirm that this is an error and should read, “Past Performance Questionnaires Due”.

Response:

The schedule on the website has been updated to reflect the “Past Performance

Proposal Volume” being due on March 5th.

6. The instructions require that a cover sheet be included on each binder, clearly marked with date of offer, volume number, title, copy number, Solicitation number, and the

Offeror’s name. Is is necessary to include the copy number if only one hard copy is requested?

Yes, please include copy number.

7. The instructions require that page-limited proposal sections are required to use non-compressed 12-pt Arial font in narrative text and in text in diagrams, charts, artwork and photographs. Due to space limitations and to improve clarity/ease of review, we request

Arial 10pt be allowable in charts, tables, and graphics; at least in Volumes I and II.

No. Please follow the proposal instructions located in Section L.2(c).

8. Solicitation section L5(f), 1st paragraph states, “Offerors shall provide the following performance data with explanatory remarks on contracts performed in the last three years…” Solicitation section L.5(f), 2nd paragraph states, “For all work performed during the past three years, offerors shall provide the following:” Please clarify: Are offerors to provide data for the past three calendar years, i.e., 2017, 2016, and 2015 only? Or are offerors to provide year-to-date data for 2018 in addition to 2017, 2016, and 2015 calendar year data.

Provide data for the past 3 years: (2015, 2016 and 2017).

9. Solicitation section L.5(c) numbered item 5 states, “Point of Contact (including address, telephone and fax numbers, and e-mail addresses).” Numbered item 6 in the same section states, “If a Government Agency, include both the Contracting Officer and Contracting

Officer’s Representative points of contact.” Does numbered item 5 refer and apply only to commercial contracts? Or if an offeror submits data on a government contract, does the offeror need to provide an additional point of contact in addition to the CO and COR? If so, what point of contact would that be to be entered into numbered Item 5?

Response:

No, item 5 does not refer and apply only to commercial contract.

No additional point of contact is needed if the offeror submits data on a government contract.

10. Solicitation section L5(e) states that offerors may include up to one page of introductory material, which is in addition to the page limitation constraints. “Introductory material” implies that this one page would precede the requested past performance (PP) information that is within the 75-page limitation. Solicitation Table L-2 implies that the

PP Introductory Material should appear after the PP information. Solicitation section

L.2(b) states that proposal sections excluded from the page limitation shall be placed at the end of each volume. These instructions appear to be in conflict. Where should the one-page PP introductory material appear in our proposal? Before or after the requested and page constrained past performance information?

Response:

There is no conflict. L.2(b) states, “Proposal sections excluded from the page limit shall be placed at the end of each volume.”

11. Solicitation section L.5(a) requests that offerors provide information on up to five past contracts that is subject to the page limitation. As part of this requested information for each contract, Solicitation section L.5(c)13 requires a data submission for consent letters and refers to Attachment L-2. Solicitation Table L-2 excludes PP attachments from the

75-page limitation. Please confirm that consent letters are excluded from the 75-page limitation.

Yes, the consent letters are excluded from the 75-page limitation.

12. The Past Performance Matrix of Relevant Experience in Excel contains a “Legend of

Resources Provided for Past Performance of Parent/Affiliate” in the lower left portion of the sheet. Please provide instructions on how to fill in this section and what data needs to be entered.

Response:

Please refer to the “Note to Offerors” to the right of the Legend of Resources

Provided for Past Performance of Parent/Affiliate in Attachment L-3.

13. JSC Specific Patrol Requirements – The Language used in the aforementioned sub section does not allow for Patrol Coverage at JSC on Flex Fridays. Is this correct?

Response:

During holidays and Flex Fridays two roving patrols will be on duty 24 hours a day.

This is in contrast to regular workdays that require 2 roving patrols between the hours of 6 a.m. -10 p.m. along with the additional third patrol as specified in Section

4.5 in the PWS.

14. A third roving patrol is required to be staffed by a PSS from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. for a total of 10.5 hours, however pursuant to the JSC Specific Patrol Requirements “The PSS supporting this 3rd roving patrol shall not exceed an 8 hr shift…” Will the government clarify how the 3rd patrol shall not exceed an 8 hour shift when being required for a period of 10.5 hours?

Response:

The third roving patrol represents a PWS requirement, not an individual security police officer.

Section 4.5 “Patrol Operations” provides a possible shift range with a shift limitation. Your proposal should outline a plan to balance PSS staffing accordingly to meet the PWS requirements.

15. In accordance with the JSC Specific Patrol Requirements, roving patrols shall “process all vendors at Gate 1 when Post 12 is not open for operations”. Will the government provide information regarding Post 12 as there don’t appear to be any other references to this post?

This will be clarified in an amendment to the RFP.

16. The Field Support Supervisor is required to support operations when the Chief of

Security and the PSS Captain are not on duty. Since the Captain position remains on duty

24 hours per day, 7 days per week, will the government clarify which days and times the

Field Support Supervisor position is required? If the intent is to provide support when just the Chief of Security is not on duty, will the government confirm that this period includes weekends?

17. At WSTF, are the commercial vehicle lane and delivery inspection lane staffed M-F or

24/7?

Response:

The commercial and delivery inspection lane are open at all times, however they are staffed by personnel already assigned as called out in section 5.3 Fixed Posts.

18. A Fixed Post (Post 23) is assigned to the SCTF, 13000 Space Center Boulevard Gate from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. According to the PWS, “Post 23 will be automated from 10 p.m. to

6 a.m. Monday through Friday”. Is there any staffing requirement for this post between 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.? How is access control performed during these hours?

19. According to the PWS, section 13.10 contains the uniform standards for “Security

Officer, Hazmat Inspectors: JSC Post 12 and EF Post 17”. There are no other references to posts 12 and 17 within the PWS. Will the government clarify if these are additional post requirements? If so, will the government provide details regarding the days and hours of operation for each?

20. Is Post 12 a M-F post or seven days per week?

21. There is a requirement for a Post Order (PO-04) for a Badge Office Desk at Building 267 at the Ellington Field. There is no reference to this post within the PWS. Will the government clarify if this is an additional post requirement? If so, will the government provide details regarding the days and hours of operation?

Please refer PWS Section 4.20, “Identity & Access Management.”

22. There is a requirement for a Post Order for a Badge Office Desk post (Post 19) at SCTF.

There is no reference to this post within the PWS. Will the government clarify if this is an additional post requirement? If so, will the government provide details regarding the days and hours of operation?

Response:

Please refer PWS Section 4.20, “Identity & Access Management.”

23. Regarding incident responses at WSTF, section 5.9 specifies that “Fixed Post personnel or WSC patrol officers shall not be included in the count for minimum staffing for requirement of Incident Response”. Will the government confirm that patrol officers assigned to WSTF are considered a component of the minimum staffing requirement?

WSTF patrol officers are considered a component of the Incident Response team.

24. Fixed post requirements for the Forward Gate reflect two (2) employee/visitor vehicle lanes to be open from 5:45 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. for a period of 2.25 hours. Will the government clarify if Offerors are only to staff these gates with two Fixed Post Officers for 2.25 hours? What assignments or posts do the Fixed Post Security Officers assume at the completion of the 2.25 hours?

Response:

Section 5.3 states the requirement for WSTF. It is up to the contractor to propose adequate staffing to meet this requirement.

25. The Field Support Supervisor must provide coverage when the Chief of Security is not on-duty. What are the hours of operation for the Chief of Security so that we may account for all required hours delivered by the Field Support Supervisor?

Response:

Please refer to Section 4.1, “Overview.”

26. The Special Response Team is required to respond to EDC tasks between the hours of

7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. As this is an 8.5 hour period, do these individuals receive an unpaid

30-minute lunch break, thereby adjusting their work time to 8 hours of paid time? Do the

SRT members attend a guardmount prior to shift (i.e. 7:00 a.m.) or is their required arrival time 7:30 a.m.?

Response:

Section 4.6, “Physical Security Specialists (PSS)” and Section 4.6.1 “Special

Response Team (SRT)” state the hours of operation. The contractor should propose a plan to satisfy this requirement.

For guard-mounts, please refer to Section 4.1 and Section 4.6. There is a distinction and it is up to the contractor to propose a plan that ensures all security officers conduct a guard mount.

27. The Contractor is required to ensure security shift supervisors conduct a guardmount at the start of each shift for all security officers. What is the period of time for guardmount and is this a billable period of time? Is travel time from the armory to a designated guardmount location and then from the guardmount location to the post considered to be part of “guardmount”?

Please refer to the following Sections in the PWS:

JSC: Section 4.1 WSTF/WSC: Section 5.1

It is up to the contractor to propose an adequate plan to meet this requirement. Due to the geographical location at WSTF, 30 minutes of billable guardmount has been called out in the PWS. At JSC, guardmount is billable but it is up to the contractor to propose an adequate guardmount time allotment.

28. Can the government provide a list by Standard Labor Category of all posts that are required to attend guardmount?

Response:

Reference Section 4.1 “Overview” for JSC and Section 5 “WSTF Protective Services

Requirements” for WSTF & WSC.

29. Contractors are required to provide Technical Support Services at the WSTF from 7 a.m.

to 4:30 p.m. Will the government clarify which Standard Labor Categories perform these

Technical Support Services?

Please refer to Section J.09-1 & Section 5.29 Facility Security Specialist (FSS)

30. Contractors are required to provide ID Management/Badge Processing Services at WSTF

Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Will the government clarify which

Standard Labor Categories perform these Technical Support Services?

Please refer to Section J.09-1 & Section 5.29 Facility Security Specialist (FSS)

31. The Standard Labor Category roster reflects a Locksmith, Lead and a Locksmith for JSC.

Section 4.10 does not specify the numbers of Locksmiths required at JSC. Will the government confirm that both a Locksmith, Lead and a Locksmith are required at the

JSC? Will the government provide details regarding the days and hours of operation for each?

Response:

Section 4.10 states the requirement for JSC. It is up to the contractor to propose

32. The Standard Labor Categories for JSC include a “Security Officer/HAZ-MAT” post.

There is no reference to this post in the PWS however according to section 12.17, vehicle inspectors are considered to be trained to the U.S. OSHA HAZWOPER regulation, 29

CFR 1910.120. Are vehicle inspectors considered to be the “Security Officer/HAZ

MAT” position?

Response:

Only the officers working at Post 12 referenced in Section 12.17 “Vehicle

Inspections” hold the Security Officer/HAZ-MAT labor category title. However, U.S. OSHA HAZWOPER regulation 29 CFR 1910.120 training is required for all labor categories conducting vehicle inspections.

Post 12 will be clarified in an amendment to the RFP.

33. Within the Standard Labor Category roster for JSC there is a requirement for an

“Administrator”. There is no other reference to this position within the PWS. Will the government clarify if this is a required post? If so, will the government provide details regarding the days and hours of operation?

Response:

Section 3.1 states the requirement for JSC. It is up to the contractor to propose

34. Within the Standard Labor Category roster for JSC there is a requirement for a “Business and Administrative Clerical Specialist”. There is no other reference to this position within the PWS. Will the government clarify if this is a required post? If so, will the government provide details regarding the days and hours of operation?

Response:

Section 3.1 states the requirement for JSC. It is up to the contractor to propose

35. PWS Section 4.20 stipulates the requirement for Administrative Security Specialists.

There is no Administrative Security Specialist identified within the Standard Labor

Category roster. Are offerors to add this position classification within the Standard Labor

Category roster or is this position under a different classification within the Standard

Labor Category list?

36. In the IDIQ Firm Fixed Price Hourly Rate Table, the Physical Security Support Lead

Position is not listed. Is this an oversight and should be included?

This was an oversight and will be corrected in an amendment to the RFP.

37. The Facility Security Specialist, Locksmith, Classified Waste Technician is discussed in the PWS but not in the IDIQ Firm Fixed Price Hourly Rate Table’ on B-4. Please address this inconsistency. Does WSTF and WSC require a dedicated Locksmith in addition to the two FSS personnel, or should the locksmith position be remove from the IDIQ Firm

Fixed Price Hourly Rate Table?

These labor categories would not perform requirements under IDIQ Task Orders.

38. The WSC and WSTF Communication Dispatch Officer is discussed in the PWS but not in the IDIQ Firm Fixed Price Hourly Rate Table’ on B-4. Please address this inconsistency.

These labor categories would not perform requirements under IDIQ Task Orders.

39. The PSS Lead is discussed in the PWS but not in the IDIQ Firm Fixed Price Hourly Rate

Table’ on B-4. Please address this inconsistency

This was an oversight and will be corrected in an amendment to the RFP.

40. The Administrative Security Specialist is discussed in the PWS but not in the IDIQ Firm

Fixed Price Hourly Rate Table’ on B-4. Please address this inconsistency.

41. The Physical Security Specialist: Emergency Medical Technician-Intermediate (EMT-B)

Standard Labor Category is missing from the DRD-004 Management Plan #11 Template

SLC Mapping 1-5 spreadsheet attached to the RFP.

The EPM will be changed in an amendment to the RFP.

42. The Pricing for IDIQ Specified Resources (SR) table lists the Physical Security

Specialist: Emergency Medical Technician-Intermediate (EMT-I). The PWS and

Standard Labor Category tables reference Emergency Medical Technician – Intermediate

(EMT-B). Are there two EMT positions – EMT-B and EMT-I?

EMT-I is a typo. The EPM will be changed in an amendment to the RFP.

43. The PWS states “the Contractor is required to ensure the safety, serviceability and proper maintenance of all firearms, ammunition and related equipment utilized by the

Contractor. The Contractor shall perform the maintenance on all firearms, including those issued to civil servants. The Contractor shall also provide all replacement parts and expendable items such as, cleaning materials for all firearms, targets, including those issued to civil servants.” The following questions are presented to obtain the additional details necessary to bid this cost element correctly, and manage Firm Fixed Price risk: (a) who is responsible to ensure the safety, serviceability, and proper maintenance of all firearms, ammunition, and related equipment used by the Contractor at JSC?; (b) is there a certified armorer currently assigned to the WSTF site?

44. According to section 4.8, “Access to the armory shall be limited to those employees designated to issue such AA&E, ECW, and related equipment.” What JSC and

WSTF/WSC employees, by Standard Labor Category, have access to the armory?

It is up to the contractor to propose an adequate plan to meet this requirement.

45. The PWS requires that the Contractor establish, maintain, and staff an armory at JSC

(Security Officer PSS Personnel, Ellington Field Personnel) and WSTF/WSC to safely store…. Please confirm that the Government will allow continued use of existing onsite weapons storage facilities, and not be required to ‘establish’ [new] armory facilities.

Response:

All weapons storage facilities currently in use will be made available to the contractor. At this time no new weapons storage facilities are anticipated.

46. The PWS states ‘the Contractor shall establish, maintain, and staff an armory at JSC

(Security Officer Personnel, PSS personnel, and Ellington Field personnel, and

WSTF/WSC to safely store, maintain, account for, issue, and receive Arms, Ammunition, and Explosives (AA&E), Electronic Control Weapons (ECW), portable radios, and other necessary equipment to authorized personnel. NPR standards also require that firearms shall be stored unloaded in GSA or NASA HQ OPS approved security containers, weapons vaults, or weapons racks separate from ammunition. Areas designated as a secured armory or vault requires the approval of the Center Chief of Protective Services

(CCPS). These statements require the Contractor to establish armories at JSC and White

Sands, and utilize equipment that must be approved by the CCPS. The following questions are presented to obtain the additional details necessary to bid this cost element correctly, and manage Firm Fixed Price risk: (a) will the armories currently in use be made available to the Contractor?; (b) do the armories meet all applicable regulatory standards and requirements?; (c) are the armories each functioning and serviceable?

c) Yes.

d) Yes clearing barrels will be provided and they are currently in serviceable condition. An Installation Accountable Government Property and Government

Furnished Property list was provided for your reference.

47. There is no stipulation regarding the days of operation for the Licensed Security

Management Systems (SMS) Technician. Will the government provide details regarding the post operating times and days of the week?

48. Security Management Systems and Emergency Dispatch Center – Will any new Security

Systems be added to these task areas of responsibility prior to full performance of the

JSCPSC II?

We are currently unaware of any new security systems to be added.

49. How many of the Senior SMS Technicians currently have the requisite Lenel Certified

Professional (LCP) certification as opposed to the Legacy Master/Emerald Certification?

Response:

There are currently 2 Senior SMS Technicians that have the Legacy

Master/Emerald Certification or equivalent. The requirement in Section 4.9.2 is for

3 Licensed (2 at JSC and 1 WSTF).

50. Section C.4.24 requires the Contractor to run the Crash Net test scenario in ENS monthly to send text messages to the pre-determined test Crash Net list of emergency responders.

Section C.12.1.7 refers to an NPSTA Emergency Response Team and Section C.4.6.1 refers to a Special Response Team. Please clarify whether the ERT and SRT are distinct teams, and which is required to participate in the Crash Net test.

Response:

The Crash Net test referenced in Section 4.24 is completed by the EDC Dispatchers.

The test electronically notifies all NASA Emergency Management team members and on duty dispatchers. This will be accomplished via electronic notification by email, text, and voice.

51. 12.4 Explosive Recognition – If the TTPOA does not have an Explosive Recognition class or have one scheduled within 60 days of contract start, will any other certification for Explosive Recognition be acceptable?

Response:

A federal or state law enforcement certification that meets TTPOA’s requirements is also acceptable.

52. According to Appendix C, “All Security Officers must be trained to the Security Police

Officer level by January 2020 per NPR policy, although not all Security Officers will be given FAA”. Are all Security Officers currently trained to the level of Security Police

Officer? If not, how many are pending this level of training?

Response:

Remington 700 sniper rifle.

55. Item 3 of the Management Plan requires that resumes be provided for each Key Person stating their education (including licenses and certifications), current position, current significant responsibilities or projects, and professional activities and achievements

(including patents and inventions). We estimate that each KP resume will be at least three pages to fully describe their qualifications and suitability for the position. Will the

Government please exclude the resumes from the 75-page count limit for Volumes I/II?

Resumes are included in the 75 page limit.
