SECTION C.1 MARITIME PREPOSITIONING FORCE (MPF) PROGRAM OVERVIEW

1.A BACKGROUND

1.A.1 The Maritime Prepositioning Ships (MPS) program was initiated by the Secretary of Defense in August 1979 creating a new option for increasing the responsiveness of Marine Corps operating forces requiring immediate and rapid deployment. The program requires the prepositioning of equipment and supplies aboard Navy owned ships strategically located around the world. These ships are divided into squadrons of several ships each, designated Maritime Prepositioning Ships Squadrons (MPSRONs). The MPSRONs are typically located in the Indian and Pacific Oceans respectively. Additionally, as the USMC Global Positioning Network (GPN) matures, ashore staging/prepositioning locations both CONUS/OCONUS may require support. Maritime Prepositioning Force is a term utilized to describe the combat capability derived when combining a Marine operating force and associated Fly-in Echelon (FIE) with the assets loaded aboard the MPSs. A squadron carries a variety of USN and USMC capability sets, artillery, ammunition, rations, medical supplies, fuel, water- everything the fighting force might need for up to 45 days of sustained operations. In support of that fighting force, the Navy also has equipment on each ship to support the Navy operating forces. The Navy Support Element (NSE) conducts Ship to Shore Movement (STSM). The equipment associated with STSM includes, but is not limited to, the following Navy watercraft: Maritime Prepositioning Force Utility Boat (MPFUB), Lighter Amphibious Resupply Cargo-5 (LARC-V), Landing Craft Mechanized-8 (LCM-8) and Improved Navy Lighterage System (INLS), which includes: Warping Tug (WT), Causeway Ferry Power Module (CFPM), Causeway Ferry Beach Module (BM), Causeway Ferry Intermediate Module (IM) and the Roll On/Roll Off Discharge Facility (RRDF) system which includes the Docking Module (DM), Ramp Module (RM) and Combination Module (CM). Continental United States (CONUS) based support for this entire program is conducted at Blount Island, Jacksonville Florida. There are other Navy operating force capability sets embarked on the MPS, but they are maintained through different contracts and are not affected by NWAMS II.

1.A.2 The breadth and depth of the military equipment and supplies prepositioned (over 11,000 national stock numbered items totaling slightly over 36 million pieces) provides significant capability and flexibility, enabling the combatant commander to conduct numerous crisis response missions. The concept of combining the speed of strategic airlift with the storage capacity of prepositioned sealift has greatly reduced force closure times in response to contingency scenarios. Under the MPS concept, the squadron will be staged, in advance, near the vicinity of a possible crisis area. If deployment is ordered, the ships would move to a rendezvous point to link up with Marine Corps and Navy personnel flown to the area by the U.S. Air Force’s Air Mobility Command. The equipment would be quickly downloaded and assigned to combat and support units which then would proceed to the objective area. On 12 March 1983, the Commandant of the Marine Corps (CMC) directed the Marine Corps Support Base, Atlantic, hereinafter referred to in its present name, the Marine Corps Logistics Command (LOGCOM), to contract for logistics services in support of prepositioned assets. Therefore, a contracted civilian maintenance crew living aboard the ships and at a CONUS industrial facility, would be responsible for performing the full range and depth of logistics functions such as Preventive and Corrective Maintenance, equipment modifications, stock rotation, calibration, inventory management, management of support systems, supply support, asset visibility and transportation management to include in- transit visibility. The MPF Program requires logistics efforts to be accomplished aboard ship, in port areas around the world, and at an industrial facility located on Marine Corps Support Facility Blount Island (MCSF-BI), Jacksonville, Florida during the MPF Maintenance Cycle (MMC). This Performance Work Statement (PWS) is applicable to afloat and ashore activities for Navy watercraft only. The MPSRON’s capability sets and spread loads are subject to change each tailoring cycle. Minor differences exist in the types and quantities of watercraft loaded, care-in- stores packages, and ships complement of support tools.

1.A.3 The primary effort of Navy watercraft afloat maintenance work shall be accomplished aboard the MPS and at designated ashore locations where the watercraft are located/positioned utilizing Government-furnished equipment/materials (GFE/M), including Government provided common hand tools. Refer to Section 1.B.3 for other requirements. The Contractor performs Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) maintenance and repair as delineated in this PWS. The Contractor shall not use Prepositioning Objective (PO) equipment and supplies for the purpose of maintenance without prior Government approval. The list of GFE is in Attachment C.1-2.

Contractors are responsible for the efficient and economical use of any Government provided shipboard facilities and equipment provided by the Navy in the performance of contractual tasks. The Contractor shall coordinate new requirements for space, modifications to existing assigned space, and changes to the shipboard facilities and/or equipment with the Navy for further action. The Navy Maintenance Contractor (NAVMC) is expected to exhibit workplace organization and housekeeping for their assigned berthing/workspaces and is responsible for maintaining professional workplace appearance commensurate with that expected on a United States Navy Ship. Additionally, the NAVMC is responsible for user level maintenance in those shipboard spaces where they operate which includes pickup of trash/debris and placement in appropriate receptacles, emptying of most receptacles, and occasional dusting, sweeping, wiping, and cleaning of the workspace.

1.B NWAMS II SCOPE. The NAVMC shall provide logistics services in support of the Navy Watercraft Afloat Maintenance Services. NAVMC shall provide all management, supervision, administrative/clerical, equipment, supplies, consumables, and personal protective equipment required for all personnel performing under this effort (except GFP). This PWS delineates work to be performed by the NAVMC for maintenance of equipment and materiel management such that required assets are available in support of the Navy MPF mission world-wide. In addition to prepositioning support, the NAVMC shall provide limited operational logistics services to engaged Navy operating forces, as required. These services shall enable the operating forces to rapidly and successfully conduct and quickly recover from assigned missions across the full spectrum of expeditionary warfare. Tasks assigned to the NAVMC are not limited to materiel support and maintenance as there may be specific support activities necessary for sustainment of this program as described in this PWS. This PWS also defines some tasks performed by the Government. Government tasks described are provided to ensure a clear understanding of the total program and to help define the division of responsibilities and necessary interfaces between the Government, other Contractors and the NAVMC in this unique program. The Navy has been designated as Executive Agent for the NWAMS II contract and as such shall be the organization, which shall provide all guidance, direction, oversight, and liaison required for the program. The maintenance level to be accomplished aboard ship is dependent upon availability in schedule, accessibility aboard ship, proximity of established repair facilities (host nation maintenance facilities), and the availability of funds. Further scope specifics are provided as follows:

1.B.1 MMC. The MPS rotations are scheduled to meet American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) requirements for hull inspections and ship certifications. As such, ship schedules and MMC time frames are generally available several years in advance and are tied to dry dock periods (see Attachment C.1-8 MMC-14 Schedule). (MMC-15 Schedule will be provided at a later date. ). The NAVMC work effort is time sensitive for several reasons. First, the MMC effort must be accomplished during the ship's dry dock period and secondly, when the ship is out of its area of responsibility (AOR) the squadron is in a degraded status, i.e., a percentage of the squadron's capability is not available to the regional Geographic Combatant Commander (GCC). Secondly, the tasks within this PWS provide Organizational, Intermediate and Depot Level Repair and Logistic Services. These services are critical to ensuring that the Navy Watercraft are Full Mission Capable (FMC). Any repair work required is continuous and ongoing as a result of a robust schedule and is contingent upon the following factors: watercraft access and availability, weather, mission, exercises, and shipboard activities. Examples of Government caused delays are ship movement from homeport for ship crew proficiency training (Military Sealift Command (MSC) controlled), ship movement in support of MPF exercises (Combatant Command (COCOM) controlled), ship movement for inclement weather sortie (MSC controlled) and ship crew performing various ship maintenance or preservation operations impede the Contractor from simultaneously working on the watercraft. The items listed may all have priority over lighterage maintenance which severely restricts the prime Contractor’s window of opportunity to perform needed repairs. This is further exacerbated when the lighterage onboard receives damage during an exercise as it significantly increases the workload in an already restricted window.

1.B.2 Program Sustainment. NAVMC shall provide logistics services in support of the tasks found throughout this PWS. NAVMC shall perform primarily on Government owned OCONUS ships. Toward this end, maintenance and materiel support are described in the PWS and include but are not limited to Continuous Process Improvement (CPI), Quality Control (QC), Environmental Safety and Health (ESH) compliance.

1.B.3 Shipboard/Ashore Operations. Work performance required by this PWS shall primarily be accomplished aboard deployed MPSs OCONUS but may include designated ashore staging sites, both CONUS/OCONUS. In addition, maintenance may be required ashore at the off-load sites during exercises, contingencies, waterborne operational tests, NSE training events and regeneration of exercise damage as authorized by the Government or at CONUS/OCONUS/host nation shipyard or maintenance and repair facilities authorized by the Government.

1.B.4 Navy Requirements. This effort is specifically for the NSE watercraft maintenance. The NAVMC provides the maintenance, repair, and logistical services in support of the Navy mission as detailed in this PWS. The NAVMC’s organization shall produce optimal equipment readiness while meeting limitations associated with cost and funding, watercraft accessibility, ship berthing availability and ship schedules. The NAVMC shall maintain Navy products and services in accordance with standards identified in Section C.6 of the PWS and all applicable Navy and Marine Corps orders and directives.

1.B.5 (RESERVED)

1.B.6 Over and Above Work IAW DFARS 252.217-7028

1.B.6.a USN Over & Above Requirements. Navy "over and above work" in accordance with DFARS 252.217-7028 “Over and Above” is Corrective Maintenance (CM) in nature (intermediate and depot level work which requires external resourcing) typically associated with exercise/contingency damage to watercraft but may also include externally resourced support for the accomplishment of Fleet Service Bulletins (FSB), Engineering Change Notices (ECN), System Alterations (SYSALTS), Safety of Use Message (SOUM) compliance, exercise support, emergent repair, sub-contractor/vendor/Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) support, unforeseen services or special projects required to support the Navy mission and associated systems/equipment maintenance and logistics requirements as specifically detailed in Section C.6 of the PWS or as directed by the Government. “Over and Above” items require Government (Navy) approval.

1.B.7 Military Contingency Support Worldwide

1.B.7.a Deployed. During the period that equipment is downloaded in support of a contingency, equipment is no longer embarked on MPS or available to rotate through the maintenance cycle. The NAVMC, if requested, shall be required to provide in-theater operational level maintenance and logistics support to assist the operating forces. Operational maintenance and logistics support could include such services as watercraft sustainment support, sound and security, retrograde operations, custodial and/or maintenance of watercraft, preservation, packing/shipping services, equipment maintenance, supply chain services, and/or project management.

As an essential part of national mobilization, there may be a requirement for the NAVMC to be prepared to provide immediate supplementation of current workforce and deploy to an off-load site/Arrival and Assembly Area (AAA) in support of a potential contingency, or to a mature theater to provide operational logistics support to deployed Sailors, and/or to a MPS regeneration site to refurbish and reload MPS after a contingency. NAVMC shall sustain operations during periods of extended deployment. Planning cannot be specific as contingency requirements are generally not known until just before execution, however, there shall be a requirement for maintenance and supply expertise, supervision, and OCONUS sites that support deploying units participating in contingency operations or provide maintenance and logistics support sustainment. The NAVMC may be required to remain with offloaded watercraft upon ship departure, whether CONUS or OCONUS.

1.B.8 Exercise Support

The NAVMC shall provide Exercise Support as indicated in respective Exercise Support Letter. Exercise Support includes the deployment of personnel and resources in direct support of the Navy TAAT supporting the Navy Operating Forces (NAVFOR/OPFOR) utilizing Navy prepositioned assets. The duration of exercise support varies from days to weeks dependent upon the concept of operations. Exercise support may utilize the

“Extended Workday” SLIN which provides a firm fixed price amount per Full Time Equivalent (FTE) to support an extended workday (12 hours versus 8 hours per day). The extended workday is meant to align NAVMC support with the exercise timeline employed by the OPFORs. The Government will identify the required labor categories to support each exercise event within the Exercise Support Letter; required labor categories are contingent upon the watercraft employment plan and NAVMC personnel assigned to each ship in the exercise location.

1.B.8.a The NAVMC shall employ “Flex hours” during exercises, ship offload and backload. Flex hours shall accommodate the exercise timeline, lighterage offload and backload timeline, which includes 12-hour shifts within a 24-hour OPTEMPO. Flex hours are designed to align work effort with military shift or ship timelines.

1.B.8.b For periods of maintenance or custody inactivity while watercraft are offloaded and under the custody of the NAVFOR, the NAVMC shall assist the Navy TAAT with Government furnished property inspections, workshop inventories and inspections, space inspections, and maintenance on watercraft disembarked from the ship as needed.

1.B.8.c The NAVMC shall not employ “Extended Work Days” (EWD) without Contracting Officer (KO) prior authorization (except as noted in 6.G.12). Requests for Unscheduled EWDs shall be routed to the KO via the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) for approval. The COR will ensure that known/scheduled EWDs associated with exercise support shall be included in the Exercise Support Letter (Paragraph 6.G.5) and the NAVMC shall not deviate from the authorized EWD. The NWAMS II Program Manager will ensure an EWD projection and cost estimate is included in the Exercise Support Letter response. The NWAMS II Program Manager shall specifically track EWD usage.

1.C WORK REQUIREMENTS. The NAVMC shall provide required reports to a common access location whereby both the Government and NAVMC may access this information. The timing associated with these postings are specified herein. Further, the quality of the services, performance demonstrated, and products delivered by the NAVMC shall be documented in Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS).

1.D MARINE CORPS PREPOSITIONING PROGRAM (MCPP) COMPLEXITY

1.D.1 Program Interdependencies. The MCPP operates in an inherently complex environment characterized by levels of detail complexity and dynamic complexity which are so integrated that the Contractor must maintain an appropriate span of control over operational and programmatic complexities to mitigate operational and program management risks. Paragraph 1.D is provided as historical background to better understand the NWAMS II role related to MCPP and the prepositioning program.

1.D.2 Detail Complexity

1.D.2.a Per the Government-approved strategic three-year plan developed by the separate Plans & Data Support (P&DS) contract, MPSs rotate one at a time, every 32-36 months, through BICmd aboard the Marine Corps Support Facility Blount Island (MCSF-BI) in Jacksonville, Florida to go through its respective, time-constrained MPF MMC which ranges 70-120 days across the fleet and encompasses different segments of the program. Once the ship is offloaded via the Stevedoring & Related Terminal Services (S&RTS) contract, it is here that the MCPP Contractor performs the full range of sustainment, refurbishment, replenishment, and specialized preservation logistics services that ensure the combat readiness of equipment and supplies for subsequent years of forward deployed long-term storage.

1.D.2.b During this MMC, the MCPP Contractor is required to thoroughly refurbish all Marine Corps and Navy ground tactical military equipment and watercraft by performing Preventive and Corrective Maintenance, applying modifications, recalibrating Test Measurement and Diagnostic Equipment (TMDE), inventorying/replacing collateral equipment, and exchanging obsolete equipment with newly fielded assets. The Contractor’s responsibility is to ensure that the materiel a war fighter requires to operate independently in a completely expeditionary environment for 30-45 days of sustained combat is attained, maintained, and in a ready-to-issue status prior to re-embarkation aboard the respective MPS. MCPP Contractor sustainment efforts for any OCONUS ashore sites (supply support, stock rotation, Service Upon Receipt Inspection (SURI) for newly fielded equipment) may be integrated with the concurrent production of each individual ship’s MMC.

1.D.2.c Each ship contains an average of 25,485 Principle End Items (PEI), including the full range of communications and electronics equipment; ordnance (M1A1 main battle tanks, amphibious assault vehicles, artillery, light armored vehicles, weapon systems, optics equipment, etc.); motor transportation (armored cargo trucks/High Mobility Multi- Wheeled Vehicles (HMMWVs), MRAPs, refuelers, wreckers, etc.); and engineering equipment (forklifts, cranes, container handlers, generators, bulldozers, scrapers, graders, fuel/water systems, etc.). The specialized logistics services performed under this program include inspection, servicing, corrosion control, Corrective Maintenance (as required), armoring, application of any required modifications, association of collateral equipment and mobile loaded cargo, integration of communications/ electronics equipment, application of Total Asset Visibility (TAV) Radio Frequency Identification Tags (RFID), preservation for Long Term Storage (LTS) and documentation of all of these actions in the Global Combat Support System – Marine Corps (GCSS-MC) or Naval Tactical Combat Support System (NTCSS) for Navy equipment.

1.D.2.d Additionally, each ship averages more than 500 shipping containers loaded with more than 10,000 items of sustainment supplies to include rations; packaged Petroleum, Oils, and Lubricants (POL); barrier/fortification materiel; medical equipment/supplies, and spare repair parts/sub-assemblies. The Contractor performs supply and transportation support, such as inventory management, stock rotation (for rations, shelf-life expiry items), calibration, corrosion control /prevention, total asset visibility marking/tracking, and transportation management. A single ship’s MMC production requirements generate approximately 11,000 supply requisitions.

1.D.2.e Finally, once the equipment and supplies have been backloaded aboard each MPS via the separate S&RTS contract, the MCPP Contractor maintains custody, provides Care of Supplies in Storage (COSIS) for most of this materiel while forward deployed in their respective assigned GCC Area of Responsibility (AOR), and prepares/issues it to Marine and Navy commanders for MPF exercises, Theater Security Cooperation (TSC) events, Phase 0 operations, and actual crises. In addition to providing specialized logistics services the MCPP Contractor also maintains a small subset of the equipment and supplies OCONUS that are strategically prepositioned in Norwegian storage caves in support of MCPP-N.

Note: The NWAMS II NAVMC will maintain custody of Government designated Navy watercraft assets during the Afloat Phase or when staged ashore, both CONUS or OCONUS or designated as LTS at CONUS/OCONUS designated locations.

1.D.2.f The MCPP Program description above in paragraph 1.D.2 illustrates a prescriptive and interdependent process involving thousands of variables or moving parts which in a friction and fog free environment all come together at the right time and place. The sheer volume of materiel processed over such a short time is a balancing act of program and project management as it applies to risk.

1.D.3 Dynamic Complexity 1.D.3.a The very nature of the strategic MCPP is centered on responding to the unknown with a credible capability in short-to-no notice time frames. Therefore, BICmd’s operational mandate is to: 1) attain 100% of the Commandant of the Marine Corps stated prepositioning objective for equipment and supplies; 2) configure and maintain all of the prepositioned materiel to 100% combat readiness; and 3) to maximize the forward deployed “on station” time in support of the GCC’s war plan requirements. This cuts to the core mission of the Marine Corps and creates an environment of dynamic complexity in the MCPP by the countless stakeholders who directly and indirectly influence the day-to- day pre-planned and programmed MMC activities. Significant dynamic complexities are introduced by those external entities directing operational mission and/or program management changes that create program-wide resource loading ripple effects which must be assessed (within unyielding time and facility constraints) and adjusted to in-stride by the Program Management team and the MCPP Contractor.

Note: The NWAMS II NAVMC supplements the MCPP effort by performing OCONUS Navy watercraft maintenance and logistics support to ensure optimal operational readiness of the Navy watercraft embarked on MPS or staged at designated ashore locations, both CONUS/OCONUS that perform STSM of the Prepositioning Objective.

1.D.3.b The common element in this injected dynamic complexity is that the origins of change – natural or manmade – fall completely outside of the BICmd’s ability to forecast or influence them. Some examples and their impacts to on-going MMC production operations follow:

· Combat and Humanitarian Aid (HA)/ Disaster Relief (DR) Contingency Operations: Crisis response missions require the task organization and deployment of Technical Assistance & Advisory Teams (TAAT) which draw Government and MCPP or NAVMC Contractor personnel away from the Blount Island MMC to prepare and issue prepositioned materiel to Marine and Navy operating forces. Subsequent post-contingency reconstitution efforts are based on the scope of sustainment items consumed and the damage to combat equipment that must be reset to 100% readiness for the next contingency. Historically, reconstitution has been executed in theater (post DESERT STORM when half of BICmd and the Contractor deployed forward) or at Blount Island (nine ships worth of equipment retrograded to BICmd post IRAQI FREEDOM I).

· Exercises/TSC/Phase 0 Ops: The past 21 years have witnessed the quadrupled usage of prepositioned material for Marine Corps operating force training, engagement opportunities with foreign countries and their militaries, and deterrence operations. The number and scope of these activities are generally only determined by the GCCs and Marine Corps a year ahead of time; therefore, the MCPP contract must be flexible enough to meet this demand signal while concurrently executing MMC operations. Post exercise CM opportunities are typically deferred to the next scheduled MMC opportunity due to time, space, resource, and schedule constraints. Therefore, the actual CM requirements are unknown until the ship is offloaded at BICmd and the equipment is fully assessed, further impacting the MMC.

· New Doctrine and Employment Concepts: USMC efforts to develop doctrine to counter and destroy a constantly evolving enemy threat results in perpetual “reshaping” of the prepositioned combat capability sets produced by the MCPP. Changes in doctrine often occur faster than they can be implemented due to the three-year maintenance cycle process to actually access the prepositioned materiel. This process is further complicated by the necessity to “roll-down” assets from one ship to another in order to place it on the correct platform to meet operating force requirements. Therefore, in a perfect world it would take at least two full MMCs to fully realize comprehensive support of new doctrine and/or concepts of employment. The Blount Island prepositioning program enterprise is currently working to produce Crisis Response Force Packages (CRFP) to achieve the Sea basing, Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations (EABO), Advanced Naval Base (ANB), Forward Armoring & Refueling Point (FARP) and other doctrinal capability requirements. Additionally, the Marine Corps is mitigating the shortfall in amphibious lift by utilizing MPSs as alternative platforms to deploy small Marine units for engagement operations. As stated above this too requires deployment of TAATs with the resulting impacts to the MCPP contract.

· Combat Equipment Modernization: The MCPP includes nearly 66,000-line items of combat materiel that span virtually the entire equipment inventory of the Marine Corps. Modernization is constantly ongoing and fielding for larger scale weapons systems is generally forecast early enough to be included in deliberate MMC plans. That said the rule is that newly fielded equipment (modernized or in response to operating forces Urgent Needs Statements) arrives throughout the MMC and must be integrated into the combat sets in-stride. This often requires New Equipment Training (NET) for the workforce, directly impacting current operations. Additionally, equipment modernization occurs along programmatic lines with varying speed, prioritization, and resourcing at the enterprise level, further complicating MCPP planning and execution.

· Ship Platform Modernization: Military Sealift Command (MSC) modernization programs (e.g., the transition from legacy prepositioning ships to Large Medium Speed Roll-on/Roll-off (LMSRs); MPF ships reaching end of service life; etc.) have resulted in significant changes to the MMC production activities to configure equipment for Long Term Storage (e.g., mobile loads, truck cabs up or down, etc.).
