Puget Sound Naval Shipyard & Intermediate Maintenance Facility Bremerton, WA 98314

PART 1

GENERAL INFORMATION

1. GENERAL: This is a non-personal services contract to provide Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) field evaluation services. The Government shall not exercise direct supervision or control over any contractor employees. Notwithstanding, the contractor shall ensure employees comply with all requirements of this Performance Work Statement (PWS) and contract.

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 NRTL field evaluation services 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: Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility (PSNS & IMF) and Trident Refit Facility Bangor (TRFB) each procure Industrial Plant Equipment (IPE). For nearly all IPE assets and portable tools, the PSNS & IMF Environmental, Safety, and Health Office, Code 106, requires the owning organization to obtain NRTL field evaluation services to verify that equipment and their component parts are in compliance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards. While many assets are factory-certified, not every procured asset is. This effort will provide a means to obtain NRTL field evaluation services for IPE or portable tool procurements where NRTL field evaluation services are not a requirement of the equipment procurement contract.

1.3 Objectives: The objective of this service contract is to obtain NRTL field evaluation services for the purpose of verifying that installed IPE and its component parts are in compliance with OSHA regulations concerning machine guarding and electrical safety

1.4 Scope: The contractor shall provide third party evaluation of Government owned IPE to certify compliance with the applicable OSHA regulations in accordance with Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 29, Chapter XVII, Part 1910, and to ensure the Government owned IPE has been installed in accordance with National Electrical Code (NEC) and/or National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) requirements. The Government owned equipment that satisfies the applicable OSHA, NEC, NFPA, and/or PSNS&IMF OSH requirements shall be labeled with a NRTL registered certification mark or labeling that identifies that the Government owned equipment is in conformance with the applicable safety and technical standards. A NRTL field evaluation report shall be provided to the Government indicating all deficiencies and implemented or required resolution(s). The NRTL field evaluation report shall indicate whether the Government owned equipment has been labeled or not labeled during the inspection service visit, and if it has been labeled, the field evaluation report shall indicate that the Government owned equipment is in conformance with the applicable safety and technical standards.

1.5 Period of Performance: The ordering period for this contract shall be 5 years from date of contract award.

1.6.1 Quality Assurance: The government shall evaluate the contractor’s performance under this contract in accordance with the Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan.
