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 armed conflict, post-conflict, comparable situations and in peace/routine garrison 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 the Global Protective Services (GPS) program, which in accordance with 10 U.S.

Code § 2465 provides agencies the operational reach of performance throughout all OCONUS Combatant Command (COCOMs) Areas of Responsibility (AORs) provided the Contracts performance will be carried out at a location outside the United States (including its commonwealths, territories, and possessions). Any change to performance requirements will only become effective upon approval from the Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO).

1.1 Description of Services: The GPS program provides Armed and Unarmed guard (Fixed and Mobile) and protective security services in support of the Department of Defense (DoD) and other applicable agencies. The Contractor shall provide all management, tools, supplies, equipment, and labor necessary to perform armed or unarmed security guard services and protective security services. This is an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Contract. All services will be performed through Task Orders (TO) and all TOs will be competed amongst the GPS Base Contract holders unless a Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity (JEFO) is staffed accordingly.

GPS is a non-personal service(s) Contract 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 GPS requirement is a recompete to the Security Support Services – Global (SSS-G) Program competitively awarded in November 2018 as a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) Multiple-Award Task Order Competition (MATOC)IDIQ Contract.

1.3 Task Order 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 Task Order Specifics and Performance Guidelines: The specific requirements, specifications, and deliverables for each TO under GPS will be clearly outlined and specified in the corresponding TO Competitions Solicitation documents. All terms and conditions of the Basic Contracts are applicable to all TOs awarded under them and shall serve as overarching terms and conditions. However, each TO will be the official source for comprehensive guidance on performance expectations, timelines, and other important details. Contractors shall follow the specifications provided in each TO and should customize their performance accordingly.

1.5 Integrated Compliance Framework: While this PWS establishes a foundation referencing U.S. Army and DOD regulations and clauses, it is imperative to note that individual TOs issued on a decentralized basis may necessitate compliance with additional regulations and standards as mandated by other relevant agencies. The specific regulatory framework and standards applicable to each TO will be explicitly detailed within the respective TO Competition documents. Contractors shall adapt and adhere to the unique regulatory requirements specified in each TO, ensuring comprehensive compliance with any additional stipulations set forth by the respective agency associated with the TO.

1.6 Ordering: The GPS Contract offers flexibility in its utilization allowing for both centralized and decentralized Task Order execution. The decision to adopt a decentralized or centralized approach will be made based on the operational requirements, efficiency considerations, and overall mission objectives determined by the ACC-RI Contracting Officer or authorized ordering agencies Contracting Officer.

Contracting activities within the DOD along with Other Government Agencies may receive access to the GPS Contract to award and administer TOs as listed in § 1.10 of this PWS. Centralized orders will be issued and administered through ACC-RI, and decentralized orders will be issued and administered through the authorized organization’s Cognizant Contracting Activity. Decentralized ordering agencies will follow the attached Ordering Guide (Attachment 0002, ACC-RI reserves the right to update the Ordering Guide at any time, and the ordering guide will be adhered to by authorized ordering agencies. GPS Contractors will be notified in writing which offices have been granted decentralized ordering authority during the performance of this Contract. GPS Contract holders shall provide a copy of any TO award they receive and any subsequent TO modifications within 48 hours of the TO award or execution of the modification to the ACC-RI Contracting Officer.

1.7 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 GPS’ 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 GPS program remains responsive to emerging security needs and technological advancements throughout its duration.

1.8 GPS Intent: The intent of this centralized/decentralized MATOC program PWS is to offer an array of private security services that all ordering authorities may require during the performance of GPS. To provide flexibilities and customized solutions based on the diverse and unique requirements of different organizations and U.S. Government Agencies. The decentralized ability allows for individual units or entities who have varying needs, priorities, and operational requirements to tailor the services to align with their specific requirements, ensuring that resources are allocated efficiently and effectively. The intent is to allow for resource optimization, allow for entities to plan for dynamic environments, enhance mission effectiveness, while utilizing private security expertise, to reduce administrative burden on the U.S. Government and offer a mission-centric approach to Private Security Contract operations for the Department of Defense or other USG agencies, i.e., the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), and agencies or organizations authorized to order under this program.

1.9 Ordering Authorities Scope Changes: To maintain quality, uniformity, and overarching program oversight, all decentralized scope changes, shall be submitted to the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisitions and Sustainment (OUSD A&S) through the ACC-RI Contracting Officer for a scope review and determination. As the single point of contact/review for scope changes, OUSD A&S will ensure that all requested scope changes do not include Inherently Governmental functions. This will not alleviate and ordering authorities responsibilities of an in-scope determination made at the appropriate level. Approved agencies delegated ordering authority can be found in Attachment 0002 – GPS Ordering Guide.

The EAs should provide enough information regarding the background;

criteria include:, scope of the issue, condition, cause, and effect, to enable decisions to be made regarding alternate or additional procedures.

They must also ensure that all documents or reports produced by Contractors are suitably marked as Contractor products or that Contractor participation is appropriately disclosed.

2.13 On-Ramping: The Government reserves the right to reopen competition at any time during the terms of the Contract. The ACC-RI Contracting Officer will conduct market research to assess if other Contractors are able to meet the qualifications of the GPS Program. The Government will review the need for additional GPS Contractors to keep the eligible pools viable/competitive, and/or to ensure that the agency maintains the latest private security solutions. The Government may evaluate the benefit of conducting and on-ramp on the multiple award IDIQ vehicle on an annual basis. The Government will reserve the right to on-ramp vendors in both the base 5-year ordering period and the optional 5-year ordering period.

2.14 Off-Ramping: The Government reserves the right to review all contracts under the GPS multiple award IDIQ Program to determine if it is appropriate to remove existing contracts. The Government may evaluate the benefit of conducting an off-ramp on the multiple award IDIQ vehicle on an annual basis.

However, the Government may conduct an off-ramp in any year of the base or option ordering periods in order to reduce administrative burden and costs for the Government and contractors and to maintain streamlined and efficient processes on the contract. Any contractor that is off-ramped shall not receive any further TO awards under this contract.
