Part 1 Description of Services

1.0 General: Private Security Contractors (PSCs) contracted by the U.S. Government (USG) operate as one means of a whole-of-government approach to support peace and stability initiatives in areas of comparable situations and in peace/routine operations. Where military or other government security forces are unavailable, insufficient, or inappropriate, PSCs protect relief, recovery, reconstruction activity from theft, extortion, vandalism, terrorism, and other unlawful activities in addition to emergent security requirements in stable garrison environments, Outside the Continental United States (OCONUS). This encompasses planned security initiatives, capacity-building efforts, and support for ongoing stability and peacekeeping operations. Effective discipline, training, and oversight of USG contracted PSCs builds the confidence of the local population, reduces the risk of civilians and civilian activities becoming targets, and supports the restoration or protection of the rule of law. To accommodate this objective, this performance-based statement of work provides a full spectrum of private security functions in support of contingency operations, other significant military operations, humanitarian, and peace operations, exercises or garrison operations. This Performance Work Statement (PWS) is for security services encompassing Royal Air Force (RAF) Blenheim Crescent. Any change to performance requirements will only become effective upon approval from the Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO).

1.1 Description of Services: The Contractor shall provide all management, tools, supplies, equipment, and labor necessary to perform armed or unarmed security guard services and protective security services. These services are non-personal in nature, under which the personnel rendering the service(s) are not subject, either by the Contract’s terms or by the manner of its administration, to the supervision and control usually prevailing in relationships between the Government and its employees.

1.2 Background: The requirement is a recompete to the currently existing contract for the same services in the same location. The intent of this contract is to put in place high quality security services while the Government works a longer-term 5-year contract with clearer and higher/updated standards for performance.

1.3 Performance Location Business Risk: The Contractor needs to be well-informed or and competent in managing various business risks and issues, especially in high-risk international environments. These risks may include but are not limited to exposure to loss, labor disputes, political unrest, and compliance with exporting/importing regulations, particularly with regard to the production and export of products and services controlled under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations and dual-use items controlled under the Export Administration Act. Other risks include unstable local politics, geographical challenges, and differing legal systems that could impact the Contractor's ability to meet contractual obligations.

1.4 Security Systems: The USG acknowledges the dynamic and ever evolving nature of security technology and recognizes that advancements may lead to the development of new and unknown security systems during the lifespan of this contract. Therefore, Contractors may be required to operate and integrate with future security systems provided by the Government, even if such systems are not explicitly defined or known at the time of award. The Contractor shall demonstrate flexibility and readiness to adapt to evolving technologies, participate in relevant training programs, and efficiently incorporate emerging security systems into their operational capabilities as directed by the Contracting Officer or designated [U.S.] Government representative. This requirement ensures that the program remains responsive to emerging security needs and technological advancements throughout its duration, to include but not limited to new/upgraded cameras, alarms, Defense Biometric Identification System (DBIDS) requirements and other associated equipment.

2.0 General Information

2.1 Quality Control Plan (QCP): The Contractor is responsible for creating and maintaining a QCP to ensure that the services provided are in line with the requirements of this PWS.
