ENCLOSURE: Cyber Security update and Task Order sample

C.1 GENERAL.

MTCCS is an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ), Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC). The contract is structured for maximum flexibility in providing for an expedited ordering process in order to satisfy the needs of customers primarily at the Army Commands, Army Service Component Commands (ASCC), Army Corps, and Direct Reporting Units (DRU). This contract may be utilized at any MTC location worldwide. Specific regulations, directives, standard operating procedures (SOPs), locations, etc. will be identified at the Task Order (TO) level. MTCCS contractor(s) will provide support in the following four task areas:

Primary Task Areas Task 1: Training Task 2: Technical and Communications

Supporting and Supplemental Task Areas Task 3: Plans and Operations Task 4: Logistics

Supporting and Supplemental task areas are considered integral to supporting the Primary task areas; they SHALL NOT be ordered on a stand-alone basis for any task order.

The Performance Work Statement (PWS) conveys the basic scope and performance requirements, however not every task included here will be used in each Task Order (TO); to this effect all tasks in this PWS shall be read to include, “as directed in the TO”. TO PWSs will provide the specific tasks and subtasks required. Specific standards, metrics and assessment measures will be identified in the issued MTCCS TOs. The general basis for performance standards provided in this PWS will reflect one or more of the following measures for the work to be done:

· Quantity (how much or how often must the service be performed)

· Quality (the required acceptable level of service)

· Timeliness (the time-frame/period of time for submission/performance).

When described in the MTCCS PWS, the performance standards provide the general basis for measuring the performance of each requirement associated with the standard. Where metrics are cited for any general standard, they are used for the purpose of providing examples. Within the context and scope of the MTCCS PWS, it is the responsibility of the TO PWS to resolve and clarify the requirements and performance standards gained from the MTCCS PWS. For a given subtask in the MTCCS PWS, the absence of performance standards infers that the issuance of the standards will be solely from the TO PWS.
