1 INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW

1.1 Introduction

The Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center (MMAC) is a major organizational complex representing the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of Transportation (DOT), and other Federal agencies. The Aeronautical Center supports the safe and efficient operation of national and international aviation systems and provides competitive business solutions for its customers.

The Enterprise Services Center (ESC) is an organization located at MMAC. ESC operates as a Federal Financial Shared Service Provider; one of four federal financial management Centers of Excellence as designated by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to provide integrated business services and solutions to the Federal Government. ESC operates under a “fee-for-service” principle, which encourages business-like decisions creating more cost awareness and increased customer focus.

In furtherance of its Shared Service Provider designation, ESC focuses on external sales to the federal government market and improving internal operations. ESC actively pursues new business in support of the Government’s initiative for cross-agency servicing using Shared Service Providers, thereby realizing economies of scale. ESC consists of the AMK-1 Director, AMK-10 Enterprise Business Office, AMK-20 Business & Resource Support Office, AMK-200 the Information & Digitial Services (I&DS) Division, and AMK-300 Financial Services (FS) Division.

AMK-200 the Information & Digital Services (I&DS) Division provides information technology life cycle management in support of the ESC service portfolio, to include support to financial services and all aspects of technology and media services. The activities augment and amplify the business processes of local and national federal missions at departmental and agency levels supported by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Shared Service Provider (SSP) and General Services Administration (GSA) designations that the ESC maintains. Within the AMK-200 Organizational chart is AMK-260 Customer Service Center (CSC) Branch.

1.2 Background

AMK-260 Customer Service Center (CSC) Branch consists of three sections:

AMK-261 Service Desk & Remote Support Section;

AMK-262 Desk Side Support & Implementation Section;

AMK-263 Media & Print Solution Section.

These service areas have a requirement for technical support to provide the following services for the MMAC, FAA, DOT, and other Federal Agencies:

• Level 1 Service Desk Support (Attachment 2)

• Level 1 Production Control & System Monitoring (Attachment 2)

CSC PWS Attachment 1, Page 2 DCN: v2.0 2/16/2021

• Level 2 Computer Deployment Support for existing employees (Attachment 3)

• Asset and Quality Management Services (Attachment 3)

• Scanner Support (Attachment 4)

Labor categories include, but are not limited to the following: Project Manager (PM) and Alternate Project Manager (APM), Computer Operators I-V, General Clerks I-III, Administrative Assistant, and Personal Computer Support Technicans.

1.3 Labor Hour Fully Burdened Labor Rates

Task Statement of Work (TSOW) orders will be issued using the labor categories and rates identified in Section B. The fully burdened hourly rates identified in Section B will apply to all labor hours. The fully burdened labor rates must include all direct labor, indirect costs applicable to that direct labor (such as fringe, overhead, G&A, contract deliverables, and adequate Program Management/Supervisory coverage), and profit. These fully burdened rates will apply to all labor hours regardless of whether the labor hour is expended by the Contractor or its Subcontractor(s).

1.4 Performance of Work

The Contractor must provide all personnel, management, supervision, and other items or services necessary to perform services as identified in the Performance Work Statement (PWS) and individual Task Performance Work Statements (TPWS) and Task Statements of Work (TSOW) attached to the resulting contract (see Attachments 2 - 4). The Contractor must implement and manage all services listed in this PWS and in each TPWS/TSOW.

The PWS structures the acquisition around “what” service or quality level is required, as opposed to “how” the contractor should perform the work (i.e., results, not compliance).

This Performance-Based approach enables the contractor to play a large role in how the work is performed, as long as the proposed processes are within the stated constraints.

Services must be performed at MMAC, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma unless otherwise mutually agreed upon between the Government and the Contractor.

1.5 Tiers*

When necessary, performance-based tasks will have a predominantly firm-fixed pricing methodology, which is broken down into levels of services known as Tiers. Tiers are stand-alone (not cumulative), while add-ons are identified as Small or Large and the Government can use as many as necessary

CSC PWS Attachment 1, Page 3

(cumulative). Add-on must be accompanied by a tier, they will not stand alone.

Below is an example of how this predominately firm-fixed priced requirement shall be utilized. As a “fee-for-service” agency, Small and Large add-ons allow both the Contractor and ESC the flexibility to manage workload fluctuations.

Add-Ons

* Tiers and pricing schedules may vary, depending on the task

1.6 Definitions

Computer Based Training (CBT). Training done via computers, web based, packaged and hosted videos. Advantages are less expensive to deliver than Facility Led Training (FLT), less labor (no instructor), greater productivity because representatives are not off the phones for long periods of time, and can be delivered to a representatives’ desktop eliminating the need for a classroom. Limitations are that CBT does not provide human reinforcement, it’s not as effective for soft skills training, and there is a lack of group interaction.

Contracting Officer (CO). The person authorized to act on behalf of the Government to negotiate and award contracts and modifications thereto, and to administer contracts through completion or termination. Except for certain limited authority delegated by the CO to a technical representative, the CO is the only individual with the authority to direct the work of the Contractor.

CSC PWS Attachment 1, Page 4

Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR). The Government representative responsible for technical content of the contract and any subsequent task(s). This person will be responsible for monitoring Contractor’s performance and will be involved with modifications or changes to the contract or Statement of Work, Program Reviews, and overall Contractor’s performance.

ISSO. Information Systems Security Officer.

MMAC Program Manager. The Government representative responsible for managing the contract at a high level. For example, involved with modifications or changes to the contract or Performance Work Statement, Program Reviews, and overall contractor’s performance.

2 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

2.2 Contractor Employee Supervision

Contractor shall designate appropriate and sufficient supervisory personnel to meet task outcomes. The Contractor shall provide day-to-day supervision of all contract personnel including, but not limited to, work assignments, performance monitoring, payroll records, leave approval, and monitoring, etc. FAA will provide, as needed by the Contractor, limited assistance in the form of technical and policy guidance through the assigned COR.

2.3 Transition Phase-In/Phase-Out

2.3.1 Phase-In Plan

Services under this contract are vital to the Government and must be continued without interruption; therefore, upon contract expiration, a successor, either the Government or another Contractor, may continue them. The Contractor agrees to:

Furnish, as part of its technical proposal, a Phase-In Plan.

Exercise its best efforts and cooperation to effect an orderly and efficient transition.

To ensure a smooth transition in the change of work effort from the current Contractor, the Contractor shall begin the 30-day Phase-In period as required by the SIR/contract. The purpose of this Phase-In is to:

Observe work accomplished by current employees.

CSC PWS Attachment 1, Page 5

Obtain security clearances, if required.

Complete training requirements and accomplish necessary training of

Contractor employees.

Complete the development of necessary work plans/procedures.

Complete the development of quality control plans and procedures.

The Contractor will use this time for staffing and implementing those operating procedures under the contract described in the required Phase-In Plan. The Contractor shall be allowed access to the facilities to familiarize supervisors, key personnel and staff with equipment, reporting, work scheduling and procedures.

However, such access will not interfere with the production efforts of current Contractor personnel. To preclude such interference, arrangements for access to the Government facilities will be made with the CO.

2.3.2 Phase-Out

Should the Government award a follow-on contract to this effort; the Contractor agrees to cooperate with the Government and the follow-on Contractor to insure a smooth transition to the new contract. During the phase-out familiarization period, the incumbent shall be fully responsible for all current task order services.

In the event the follow-on contract is awarded to other than the incumbent, the incumbent Contractor shall cooperate to the extent required to permit an orderly change over to the successful Contractor. With regard to the successor Contractor’s access to incumbent employees, a recruitment notice may be placed in each facility. At the conclusion of any performance period, including option periods or extensions, the services provided under this contract may be awarded to another Contractor. The Contractor in place shall be required to assist in the phase-in activities.

CSC PWS Attachment 1, Page 6

2.4 Period of Performance

The contract must cover a base period from on our about* April 1, 2022 to March 31, 2023, with four (4) one-year option periods:

Should the successful Contractor’s proposal include provisions for Contractor personnel to work at a location other than the MMAC, the Contractor’s pricing shall include all proposed costs relative to Contractor personnel working at the off-site facility.

All functions listed within this PWS must be located in the fifty United States or the District of Columbia, unless otherwise approved by the FAA.

2.6 Observance of Legal Holidays and Administrative Leave

Generally, the Contractor shall not be required to work nor will payment be made by the Government for holidays and administrative leave.

If the Task Order is Firm-Fixed Priced, any exceptions where Contractor support may be required during holidays, administrative leave, and facility closure shall be identified by the COR and negotiated by the CO if/when applicable.

If the Task Order is Labor-Hour, then the level of effort shall be negotiated by the CO and the Contractor. The Contractor shall be responsible for paying their employees in accordance with the applicable Department of Labor wage determinations, to include overtime, at all times.

NOTE: Legal Holidays and Administrative Leave only apply to Level II Computer Deployment support personnel. All Level I services are required 24x7x365/366, including all Legal Holidays and during periods of Administrative Leave.

2.7 Hours of Operation

Refer to individual Task Performance Work Statements (TPWS)/Task Statement of Work (TSOW) for information about operating hours.

2.8 Telework

Telework is a work arrangement that allows an employee to perform work, during any part of regular, paid hours, at an approved alternative worksite (e.g., home, telework center, etc.). The Government may request that the Contractor implement Telework procedures under certain conditions, therefore the Contractor must have established Telework Agreements in place with their employees. Upon award, the Contractor telework agreement must be submitted to the FAA CO for review and documentation of compliance with Government safety and property guidelines. The Contractor telework agreement should be submitted annually to incorporate updates as necessary. The Contractor is responsible for

CSC PWS Attachment 1, Page 8 their employees, labor hours, assignments, internet connectivity, and government property while in telework status.

Unscheduled telework is when a manager approves a request to telework from a telework-ready employee on a non-telework day due to emergency related conditions (e.g., inclement weather, pandemics, building closures, or other agency announced emergencies).

The process for requesting unscheduled telework of Contractor employees is as follows:

• The Government request will be coordinated with the CO and the Contractor PM.

• The request will identify the unscheduled telework condition (e.g., inclement weather, pandemics, building closures or other agency announced emergencies),

• The request will identify what Contractor labor category is eligible for telework.

(NOTE: FAA defines eligible positions/assignments as those which require/have equipment and access to work off-site, with instructions for documenting assignments).

• The COR will identify tasks and approve the deliveries for the specific telework date, time and tasks.

In furtherance of Continuity of Operations Planning (COOP), a telework program may be enacted to ensure the Government’s mission-critical operations stay operational during times of National Emergency or Incidents of National Significance. If applicable, prior to task award, the COR(s) must identify to the Contractor that the task requires a continuity of critical services and at what level those services must be delivered. This Mission- Critical task shall include a filled out AMS Clause 3.2.1.5-4 “Continity of Services – Mission Critical Contracts.”

All scheduled or unscheduled telework will be at no additional cost to the Government.

2.9 Travel

The Contractor may be required to travel in management of the contract, for formal FAA specific training, and/or performance of work under the contract. The Contractor shall coordinate travel with the COR and obtain prior authorization for travel from the CO prior to incurring any travel costs. A proposal showing a complete breakdown of all estimated travel charges shall be provided to the CO at no additional cost to the Government. If accepted, the CO will provide a written authorization to the Contractor to proceed with travel provided travel funds are available on the individual task order. The Contractor is responsible for arranging all required travel. Allowable reimbursements on travel costs shall be in accordance with AMS Clause 3.3.2-2 “Reimbursement of Travel and Subsistence.”

2.10 Training

The Contractor shall provide qualified employees to meet the tasks set forth with in each TPWS/TSOW, and shall have an ongoing training program, and shall be responsible for Contractor employees acquiring the knowledge and skills necessary to support new

When advantageous to the Government, training may be provided by the Government at no cost to the Contractor if the training course is not commercially available. This training shall be included in labor hour task order amounts and may fall into one of the following categories:

• Unique to the FAA - The Government is providing training exclusively for tasks that are required to be performed at FAA facilities (e.g., on-the-job training to each Contractor employee or a train-the-trainer, as required to fulfill additional requirements such as new Customer Provider Agreements (CPAs)/SLAs, changes to CPAs/SLAs, service desk software, agency policies, security issues, software upgrades, etc.). In these instances, the employees training shall be included within the task order; or

• Directed/Mandated by the Government - The class is directed/mandated by

Government regulation, FAA Administrator (AOA-1), or an FAA Security Element. This training shall be included within the task order.

Prior to attending any FAA-sponsored training, all support Contractors are required to submit the “Support Contractor Authorization – FAA Sponsored Training” form to the COR with final approval by the CO. Reimbursement of Government-paid training costs may be required if a Contractor employee does not remain in the position for one (1) year from the date of training.

The vehicles will be available for use by Level 2 Computer Deployment Support and Contractor personnel performing in support of deployment support tasks under the contract. The commuter vehicles are available to government and contract personnel in order to expedite the customer support process when the mission requires performance of assignment at the customer’s work site. When this transportation is provided, Contractor personnel shall follow all related FAA Policy and policy of the Sponsoring organization (ESC). The applicable FAA policy will be identified in the FAA eLMS Low Speed Vehicle Course (FAA30050015). ESC policy is located at the AMC/ESC KSN website. Updates to the applicable policy for the Sponsoring organization will be included on the annual contract document for each option year. FAA-provided vehicles are to be used for official government business only.

The following conditions must be met in order for Contractor personnel to drive FAA commuter vehicles:

5 PERFORMANCE MONITORING

5.1 Quality Control Requirements

ESC has historically established Service Level Agreements (SLA) with their customers reflecting minimum acceptable performance levels allowed for services provided. These performance levels will be identified in the tasks issued hereunder in furtherance of said agreements.

5.2 Quality Control Plan (QCP)

The contractor is responsible for the quality of all work performed. The contractor measures that quality through the contractor’s own quality control (QC) program. QC is work output, not workers, and therefore includes all work performed under this contract regardless of whether the work is performed by contractor employees or by subcontractors.

The Contractor Quality Control Plan (QCP) will set forth the staffing and procedures for self-inspecting the quality, timeliness, responsiveness, customer satisfaction and other customer performance within the PWS and TPWS/TSOW. The Contractor shall include an initial QCP with their proposal. After award, the CO will notify the Contractor of acceptance or required modifications to the plan. The Contractor shall make appropriate modifications at no additional cost to the Government and obtain acceptance of the QCP by

CSC PWS Attachment 1, Page 19 the CO before the start of the initial performance period. Pursuant to CDRL A007, Quality Control Plan (QCP), the Contractor shall submit an updated QCP to the CO for approval six months after contract award, assuming the benefit of lessons-learned over the initial six-month period. Thereafter, the plan shall be reviewed, updated, and submitted annually, or as changes occur, for acceptance by the Government. The QCP shall describe the inspection system for the requested services listed in the PWS and shall include the following:

• A description of the Contractor’s quality control system. The system shall cover all services, specify work to be inspected on either a scheduled or unscheduled basis, frequency, and describe how inspections are to be conducted.

• The name(s) and qualifications of individual(s) responsible for performing quality control inspections, and the extent of their authority.

• A description of the methods used to record the quality control inspection and corrective actions taken.

• A description of the methods used for identifying and preventing defects in the quality of service performed.

• The approach for filling vacancies in a timely manner, providing qualified personnel and maintaining an ongoing training program to ensure Contractor employees acquire the knowledge and skills necessary for new/emerging technology, managing changes in workload requirements, and providing timely and accurate invoices.

The Contractor shall maintain a file of all scheduled and performed Quality Control inspections, inspection results, and dates and details of corrective actions. The file shall be made available to the CO and MMAC PM upon request.

5.3 Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP)

The Government will evaluate the Contractor’s performance under this contract in accordance with established quality assurance surveillance policies and processes. The Government reserves the right to modify the existing QASP at any time to prevent an increase in discrepancies. The Government shall record all activities. When an observation indicates defective performance, the Government shall notify the Contractor in writing and the Contractor’s representative shall acknowledge/investigate the deficiency.

The Government’s QASP is not a substitute for quality control by the Contractor. All findings of unsatisfactory or non-performed work shall be identified and resolved in accordance with the QCP (as above). Positive or negative performance will be documented in performance reports to the CO.

CSC PWS Attachment 1, Page 20

5.4 Contract/Task Meetings

7 EMERGENCY SITUATIONS & EXERCISES DURING CONTRACT

PERFORMANCE

Emergency situations and exercises are temporary exceptions to the prohibition of contractor personnel being subject to the direction and control of Government personnel when performing non-personal contract services in Government facilities.

All contractor personnel at a Government work site or facility during an actual emergency must conform to the procedures posted or directed by Government officials responsible for emergency response at that site or facility. Such officials include evacuation wardens/monitors, security personnel, Emergency Readiness Officers, management, CORs, etc.

Contractor personnel must participate in all emergency exercises, including evacuations, as part of performance under this contract. On rare occasions and based on advance arrangements that are then announced at the time of an exercise, contractor personnel will be excused from evacuations.

Contractor management/site supervisors must ensure that each contractor employee assigned to work in Government facilities possesses a general awareness of emergency and evacuation procedures at all locations where the employees might be during an emergency or exercise.
