General Information
1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION: This is a non-personal services contract to provide data analysis and field verification services to the Defense Health Agency (DHA)
Sustainment Management System (SMS) Program. The Government shall not execute any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. Such contract providers shall be accountable solely to the Contractor, who in turn is responsible to the Government.
1.1 Description of Services/Introduction: The Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform data analysis and field verification services to the DHA SMS Program as defined in this Performance Work Statement except for those items specified as government furnished property and services. The
Contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract.
1.2 Background: The DHA SMS Program fills an efficiency gap for the DHA in planning, programming, and budgeting real property maintenance and repair decisions.
A large percentage of DHA installation real property maintenance funds are spent on maintenance and repair (M&R) of their buildings. There are tighter resource constraints on funding and personnel, inspection and preventative maintenance programs for critical building systems and components at many installations. This has forced building managers into a largely reactionary mode, responding to unexpected component breakdowns and system failures at the most inopportune and expensive time. In addition, many buildings currently serve some function to the mission that is much different than the originally intended purpose when designed. The total result is that work cannot be planned, programmed, and budgeted efficiently. SMS addresses these issues by providing managers responsible for the building assets with a support tool for sustainment, restoration, and modernization (SRM) decisions.
1.3 Systems: Building systems are inventoried using the Uniformat II hierarchy (ASTM-
E1557-09). All systems that the building uses to perform its function (e.g., foundation, roof, heating, cooling, plumbing) are broken down to the smallest component-section
(Level 5) and assessed at this smallest component-section.
1.4 Non-Personal Services: This contract is a non-personal services contract as defined by FAR Subpart 37.101. Contractor personnel rendering services under this contract are not subject to supervision or control by Government personnel. The Contractor shall be responsible for the supervision of the Contractor employees. The Contractor shall generate reports and other deliverables as specified by the PWS.

OCI. The Contractor is also required to complete and sign an Organizational Conflict of
Interest Statement in which the Contractor (and any subcontractors, consultants, or teaming partners) agrees to disclose information concerning the actual or potential conflict with any proposal for any solicitation relating to any work in the contract.
