Part 1 General Information

1. GENERAL

1.1. Contract: This is a non-personal services contract to list the requirements for the purchase, integration, maintenance, training and sustainment of the Afghan National Security and Defense Forces (ANDSF) Identification (ID) Card System. The U.S. Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn is responsible to the U.S. Government.

1.2. Description of Services/Introduction: The current ID Card System is aged and has been facing obsolescence. This acquisition is to provide a common ID Card System to the Ministries of Defense (MoD) (Afghan National Army (ANA)) and at the Ministries of Interior (MoI) (Afghan National Police (ANP)) as one of the enabling capabilities that will allow automated payroll from authorization to the person being paid. The top level requirements for this acquisition are as follows: 1) the ID Card System must be able to interoperate with the current biometric system, the Afghan Personnel and Pay System (APPS)/ Afghan Human Resource Information Management System (AHRIMS) and Electronic National Identification Card (e-NID) or e-Taskira; 2) the ID Card System must be capable of producing biometrically-linked ID Cards which incorporate the latest anti-fraud features, and have Dari, Pashtu, and English on them, with the database capturing pertinent data in those three (3) languages; 3) proficiently train the ANDSF users of various echelons of command, so they can initially issue approximately 500K ID Cards; and 4) provide initial sustainment for the ID Card System and provide efficient transition of the ID Card System sustainment with the required documents, source codes, hardware and software to ANDSF. The Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and non-personal services necessary to perform the following key functions in this PWS except in the event of GFE. The Contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract.

1.3. Objectives: The Contractor shall expeditiously integrate the ID Card System with the biometric system and APPS/AHRIMS, and field and train ID Card System to ANDSF users to enable ANDSF to issue approximately 500K biometrically-linked ID Cards to all biometrically validated ANDSF personnel within the base year; then transition the system with required documents, source codes, software and hardware to ANDSF for continuation of ID Card issue, system management and maintenance. During the base year, the contractor shall build the required interface in the ID Card System to interoperate with e-NID but not required to complete the actual integration for operational use.

1.4. Scope: This PWS requires the Contractor to perform acquisition of an ID Card System, integrate with other systems as described in Para 1.3. (Objectives), and field and train users to print and issue ID Cards to all eligible ANDSF personnel across both MoI and MoD of Afghanistan. Each job function listed herein is to be accompanied with a plan for the integration, fielding, sustainment, training, and transition of the following objectives to be performed during the period of performance (PoP). At the end of fielding and training, the ANDSF shall be capable of not only issuing ID Cards, but also managing and maintaining the ID Card System. The transition of functions from the Contractor to ANDSF personnel shall occur in a phased manner as described herein. Following transition, the Contractor shall maintain a support function until the expiration of the sustainment options.

1.5. Period of Performance: One (1) year basic contract with two (2) one (1) year options for sustainment only tasks.

1.6. Quality Assurance: The U.S. Government will evaluate the contractor’s performance under this contract in accordance with the Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP). The QASP is primarily focused on what the U.S. Government must do to ensure that the Contractor has performed in accordance with the performance standards. It defines how the performance standards shall be applied, the frequency of surveillance, and the minimum acceptable defect rate(s).

1.6.1 Performance evaluation will be accomplished by monitoring compliance with the performance requirements as described in the contract and in the QASP.

1.6.2 The surveillance methods to assess and evaluate the contractor will be used by the US Government and described in the QASP. These methods are, but not limited to:
