PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

FOR

SECURITY SUPPORT SERVICES

AT

MOGADISHU INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

10 January 2022

PART 1

DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

1.0 OVERVIEW: Private Security Companies (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, and comparable situations.

Where military or other government security forces are unavailable, insufficient, or inappropriate, PSCs provide relief, recovery, and reconstruction activity from theft, extortion, vandalism, terrorism, and other unlawful activities. Effective discipline, training, and oversight of USG contracted PSCs build the confidence of the local population, reduce the risk of civilians and civilian activities becoming military targets, and support the restoration of the rule of law. In order to accommodate this objective, this performance based statement of work provides a full spectrum of private security functions in support of contingency operations in the Combined Joint Task Force – Horn of Africa (CJTF-HOA) Combined Joint Operating Area (CJOA). This Performance Work Statement is for the Security Support Services (SSS) required at the U.S. Support Team Compounds at the Mogadishu International Airport (MIA) in Mogadishu, Somalia. Any change to performance requirements will only become effective upon approval from the Procuring Contracting Officer.

1.1 DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES: This contract provides guard and protective security services in support of the Department of Defense (DoD). The Contractor shall support DoD by aiding in the coordination of planning and execution of armed security operations at MIA. The Contractor shall provide all management, tools, supplies, equipment, weapons, ammunition, and labor necessary to perform armed security guard services within MIA.

1.2 INHERENTLY GOVERNMENTAL ACTIVITIES: Contractors are not allowed to engage in inherently governmental activities. An inherently governmental activity is an activity that is so intimately related to the U.S. public interest as to mandate performance by Government personnel. These activities require the exercise of substantial discretion in applying Government authority and/or making decisions for the Government. Inherently governmental activities in a combat environment include those activities that require discretionary judgment that commit the U.S. Government to a course of action, such as deciding who or what to attack or search. Any activity that requires more than a response in self-defense to a hostile attack is inherently governmental when there is a high likelihood of hostile attack.

1.3 COMBAT OR COMBAT-LIKE ACTIVITIES: The Contractor recognizes that a Security Guard is a noncombatant and cannot take part in combat or combat-like activities to include law enforcement activities. Combat or combat-like activities and law enforcement activities include, but are not limited to, quick reaction force, reconnaissance patrolling, cordon and search operations, acting as an observer or spotter for indirect fire.

1.4 PERSONNEL STRENGTH MANAGEMENT: The Government reserves the right to reallocate the positions and locations of Contractor personnel (Part 2) contingent on force-protection threat level and mission requirements. The COR shall confirm reallocation of personnel in writing and submit to the Contractor for acceptance. The Contractor shall acknowledge acceptance in writing, to include a copy submitted to the KO and Contract Specialist for the official contract file.

1.5 EMERGENCY RESPONDER: The Contractor’s personnel, as determined by the COR and Force Protection Commander, shall move around and continue performing their security functions during Force Protection incidents/drills or other emergencies on the installation.

PART 2
