Performance Work Statement

NOAA Environmental Compliance & Safety Assessment System (NECSAS) Program

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 Introduction and Background

NOAA’s mission is to understand and predict changes in Earth’s environment and conserve and manage coastal and marine resources to meet our Nation’s economic, social, and environmental needs. The SECO within NOAA is responsible for safeguarding NOAA’s workforce and assets while aiding in environmental and energy stewardship. SECO establishes NOAA-wide standards, guidelines and procedures to implement Federal, state, and local statutes and regulations; develops NOAA-wide policies and working procedures promoting occupational health, industrial hygiene, safety and environmental compliance; develops program goals and objectives, training programs, evaluates the implementation of programs; monitors and assessments compliance progress; and advances best practices within NOAA for these programs.

To support this effort, SECO requires professional assistance from a contractor to provide expertise and technical assistance by performing assessments for environmental compliance, safety and occupational health. The period of performance is one year after date of award. The government does have option periods that may be exercised for up to an additional four years. The contractor must ensure the continuity of effort for the duration of the order.

1.2 Scope

The purpose of this order is to provide the necessary technical professional services to conduct environmental compliance, safety and occupational health assessments for SECO, which is under the Office of Chief Administrative Officer (OCAO).

The Contractor shall provide all personnel, tools, materials, supervision, and other items necessary to provide these services that meet the Government’s requirements in accordance with this Performance Work Statement.
