Draft Performance Work Statement.docx

Performance Work Statement (PWS) Plans & Data Support (P&DS) 1 Introduction The United States Marine Corps Support Facility Blount Island (MCSF-BI) and Blount Island Command (BICmd) are located on Blount Island in Jacksonville, Duval County, Florida. Although the island originally consisted of a series of small natural islands near the mouth of the St Johns River, it is now primarily an artificial feature that was created from dredge spoil between 1930 and 1975. MCSF-BI sits on the eastern half of the island and encompasses approximately 900 acres. MCSF-BI is ten miles northeast of Jacksonville's central business district and seven miles west of the Atlantic Ocean. Adjacent to a federally maintained state and local deep-water shipping channel, the island has direct unobstructed access to the ocean.

BICmd is the Marine Corps Logistics Command's (LOGCOM) agency for managing the Marine Corps Prepositioning Programs (MCPP). As such, it plans, coordinates, and executes the logistics efforts in support of the Maritime Prepositioning Ships (MPS) program, the Marine Corps Prepositioning Program-Norway (MCPP-N) and the Marine Corps Prepositioning Program-Philippines (MCPP-PHIL). Additional Prepositioning programs may be added within the period of performance of this PWS.

As modern warfare continues to evolve, the Marine Corps is entering a period of substantive change that will impact our prepositioning programs. Over the course of the next decade, the MCPP must fundamentally change the way it supports the Fleet Marine Force (FMF) and its assigned missions. The MCPP will transition into a balanced afloat and ashore integrated prepositioning network which feeds into regional and global Joint Logistics Enterprise (JLENT) pipelines capable of rapidly assembling, deploying, and sustaining the right size force in regional and global conflicts.

During this transition period, current methods used to support tailoring of the prepositioned materiel, plans development, and executing ship load outs will begin to evolve. Efficiencies now enjoyed by planners, because of having parity between the two afloat squadrons, may soon be lost due to an operational need to support two completely different mission sets. There is also a distinct possibility the number of prepositioning sites and ships will increase therefore increasing the level of support requirements levied upon the P&DS contractor. This transition is expected to take place over the next 5-10 years creating the need for BICmd to begin making changes to our current planning and support systems for future tailoring efforts, plans development, data structure, information dissemination, and load planning capabilities.

BICmd and its supporting contractors must be capable of executing current operations while simultaneously modernizing and transitioning into a future enterprise, capable of supporting a distributed prepositioning network based on the Marine Corps’ ongoing Force Design efforts.

Critical to achieving this desired end state is the use of a government-owned logistics automated information system (LOGAIS), Marine Corps Platform Integration Center (MCPIC), which will continue to be modernized and integrated into the Marine Corps logistics community. As a government owned system, all changes are funded by the government and controlled by the MCPIC Configuration Control Board (CCB). (Note: As a government owned system, the government retains exclusive rights to intellectual property resulting from any software enhancements by the P&DS contractor that is funded by the government.)

1.1 Mission

Working with its DoD contracted industry partners and Norwegian Allies, BICmd ensures the high state of readiness of Marine Corps Strategic Prepositioning Programs and provides planning and operational expertise to Fleet Marine Forces in order to enable the rapid arrival and assembly of Marine Air Ground Task Forces (MAGTF). The command is also prepared to execute missions as directed by the Commanding General, Marine Corps Logistics Command (MARCORLOGCOM), including MARCORLOGCOM Forward in support of contingency operations.

1.2 Background

The MCPP, which currently consists of the two Maritime Prepositioning Force (MPF) Squadrons (MPSRONs) -- MPSRON-2 and MPSRON-3, MCPP-N and the MCPP-PHIL, have been operationally invaluable in supporting our nation’s interests across the world. These three unique, yet distinctly different programs, provide the essential elements needed to support and execute crisis response, global reach, and forward presence. The MCPP enables the rapid deployment of MAGTFs and/or augment individual Marine units forward deployed. These forces are uniquely capable of strengthening alliances, securing strategic access and defeating adversaries.

The MCPP is a keystone in the Marine Corps capability for setting the conditions for national security. The prepositioning of equipment and supplies in support of MAGTFs up to a Marine Expeditionary Brigade (MEB), is no longer the primary focus of the MPF program following the release of the 38th CMC Planning Guidance for the Prepositioning Network Tailoring -1 (PNT-1). The MPF program was refocused towards new Marine Corps employment concepts, while recognizing obligations for the PO to still support MEB-sized formations in the aggregate. The upcoming MPF Maintenance Cycle-14 (MMC-14) loads will be segmented into multiple mission sets intended to be employed as single ships capabilities in support of Advance Naval Bases, HUBS, and SPOKES. The Crisis Response Force Package has been standardized across the MPS and MCPP-N and is the only remaining MAGTF formation in the MCPP. Our prepositioning programs will continue to enable operations across the Joint Operational Continuum including prepositioning capability sets and supplies across a logistics network spanning the globe. This will enable the FMF to shape, provide deterrence, seize the initiative, dominate, stabilize, and enable the civilian authorities. Currently, when combined with the forces and their equipment arriving in the fly or flow-in echelon (FIE), prepositioning programs provide forward deployed equipment and supplies needed to sustain the various mission sets for 45 days of operations; thus, reducing total strategic lift requirements.

The MCPP consists of both afloat and ashore capabilities. Both the afloat and ashore programs are managed out of the Continental United States (CONUS) by BICmd at MCSF-BI, Jacksonville, Florida.

1.2.1 MPF. The current Marine Corps afloat program is made up of MSC owned vessels divided into two squadrons, MPSRON-2 located in Diego Garcia and MPSRON-3, located in Guam and Saipan. The ships currently cycle through BICmd in Jacksonville, Florida every 42-48 months to be reset with a modernized load.

1.2.2 MCPP-N. The Marine Corps’ MCPP-N is one of two ashore prepositioning programs. It is located in the Kingdom of Norway. MCPP-N is Headquarters Marine Corps (HQMC) sponsored and bilaterally managed with the host nation to support the reinforcement of Norway and U.S. Marine Corps global expeditionary operations. Equipment and supplies are prepositioned and maintained in six caves, three (3) of which are climate controlled for the storage of all classes of supply (less Class V munitions) and three (3) that are specifically intended for the storage of Class V. MCPP-N is equipped to support a 3,748-person Crisis Response Force (MAGTF) capable of supporting all Geographic Combatant Commanders (GCC) around the world. MCPP-N also includes regionally designed augmentation equipment sets that provide critical support in various operational environments to include cold weather operations. These equipment sets are tailored to meet the unique needs of the region, ensuring rapid and effective response capabilities for any crisis situation.

1.2.3 MCPP-PHIL. The Marine Corps’ MCPP-PHIL is the second USMC ashore prepositioning program as currently configured and is located in the Republic of the Philippines. The MCPP-PHIL contains USMC equipment designed to provide a humanitarian assistance equipment set employed ashore as the COCOM theater reserve with Theater Specific Equipment. MCPP-PHIL equipment is maintained and issued/recovered by BICmd at the direction of HQMC. Equipment and supplies are prepositioned and maintained at a leased warehouse in Subic Bay. The location stores, communications equipment, vehicles, are stored in temperature-controlled environment. In addition to supporting humanitarian operations MCPP-PHIL also supports global operations as required by the service.

1.2.4 Planning & Tailoring. Whether it is the in-depth analysis of requirements coupled by the disciplined task of developing plans that defines how equipment and supplies are to be spread, configured, and placed onto the proper deck spaces aboard each ship, BICmd along with its contractor personnel, are key components to the accomplishment of these tasks.

1.2.4.1 MPF Planning & Tailoring. As mentioned above, the squadron's ships cycle through Jacksonville, Florida to conduct what is known as the MPF Maintenance Cycle (MMC). The process required to properly plan for the execution of the MMC is an 18–24-month deliberate effort that begins with guidance produced by HQMC Plans, Policies and Operations (PP&O), followed by Planning Parameters and Factors provided by HQMC Installations and Logistics (I&L) then lastly, operational or tactical guidance from the Marine Forces (MARFORs) or Marine Expeditionary Force (MEF) commanders. Tailoring brings together all prepositioning stakeholders, operational planners, commodity experts, subject matter experts (SME), and program managers to review, analyze and validate planning documents, requirements, and operational capabilities to establish a future Prepositioning Objective (PO) that best supports the forces that would employ it. The PO is a listing of the type and quantity of equipment and supplies that are planned to be prepositioned as a part of the MPF, MCPP-N and MCPP-PHIL programs. This detailed level of planning is conducted during a series of Operational Planning Teams (OPT) known as Capabilities Assessment Review (CAR) of which BICmd and its supporting P&DS contractor (P&DSC) personnel are part of. Throughout the entire tailoring process, BICmd Plans Branch and the P&DSC support the tailoring effort by providing participants with subject matter expertise in areas such as ship loading, equipment configuration issues and specific details concerning how and where items can and should be loaded.

Once an approved PO has been established, the responsibility for development and review of the multitude of squadron and ship level plans required to execute the MMC falls under the direction of the government's Plans Branch, Operations Department (OPSDEP), BICmd. The government Plans Branch is responsible for providing the necessary contract oversight and technical guidance to the P&DSC during the plans development process and is responsible for the review of all plans to ensure their accuracy and adherence to HHQ guidance and priorities. The plans are a critical element used to populate data, properly mark, and configure Maritime Prepositioning Equipment/Supplies (MPE/S) in a manner that best facilitates force stand up in support of contingency or crisis response operations.

The Plans Branch will provide the necessary information and documentation to the P&DSC required to manage and make the necessary adjustments to the plans throughout the MMC. The development and management of squadron and ship level plans is an iterative and evolving process due to the potential for changes in equipment configuration, ship alterations, defense strategies and Concepts of Employment (COE), creating the need for close coordination between the government Plans Branch and the P&DSC.

1.2.4.2 MCPP-N Planning & Tailoring. The Norway Prepositioning Management Office (NPMO) also located at Blount Island is responsible for the accountability and readiness of the ground material and equipment located in the caves in Norway. As described above, MCPP-N serves multiple activities and is capable of global support to all GCCs but is regionally focused in support of the EUCOM Area of Responsibility (AOR) because of its location. Due to its accessibility, equipment and supplies are both tailorable and scalable which supports selective withdrawal and is ideal in support of lower spectrum operations. Logistics services conducted in Norway are performed primarily by Norwegian Ministry of Defense (MOD) personnel.

Much like the MPSRONs, MCPP-N goes through the tailoring cycle, starting with a review of the force structure by the Prepositioning Forces Structure Review (PFSR) OPTs, followed by the CAR OPTs. While there are some differences in how equipment is stowed, configured and identified, the need for standardization across the MCPP mandates they be tailored and managed utilizing similar business rules and prepositioning criteria when possible. The P&DSC working with NPMO and members of OPSDEP when required, shall support the tailoring process and will provide many of the same reference tables and expertise as they do when supporting the tailoring of the MPSRONs.

1.2.4.3 MCPP-PHIL Planning & Tailoring. The MCPP-PHIL office is located at Blount Island and is responsible for the accountability and readiness of ground materiel and equipment located in the Philippines. As detailed above, the MCPP-PHIL serves humanitarian operations employed ashore as the COCOM theater reserve with Theater Specific Equipment and is capable of support to all Geographic Combatant Commanders (GCCs) but is regionally focused in support of the INDO Pacific Command (INDOPACOM) AOR. Due to its accessibility, equipment and supplies are both tailorable and scalable which supports selective withdrawal and is ideal in support of lower spectrum operations. Logistics services conducted in the Philippines are performed primarily by contracted logistics personnel.

Unlike the MPSRONs and MCPP-N, MCPP-PHIL tailoring is currently executed based on published guidance contained within Marine Corps Requirements Oversight Council Decision Memorandums (MROC-DM), annual review of the Forward Positioned Equipment Listing (FPEL) between BICmd, HQMC, and INDOPACOM. Once revised, FPEL changes are published via naval message. While there are some differences in how equipment is stowed, configured and identified, the need for standardization across the MCPP, mandates they be tailored and managed utilizing similar business rules and prepositioning criteria when possible.

1.3 Scope

The Plans and Data Support (P&DS) contract provides the full range and depth of logistics services as described herein and software systems support for the MCPP which includes the MPF Program, MCPP-N, MCPP-PHIL, and other locations to be determined in support of the future Prepositioning Network. In addition to prepositioning support, this contract provides operational logistics automated information technology capabilities in support of logistics for Marine Corps, Department of Defense (DOD) units, and other Government Agencies when required. This support shall enable the operating forces to rapidly and successfully conduct Arrival & Assembly (A&A) operations and when required, support to reconstitution efforts upon completion of assigned missions. It will also support day-to-day operations within the logistic communities, both operational and supporting.

2 General Requirements The Contractor shall provide services and products in support of nine major areas: Plans Management, Marine Corps Prepositioning Programs Plans/Tailoring, MPF Maintenance Cycle Planning, Data Management, Information Systems, Automated Identification Technology, Software Maintenance and Support, Field Service Representative (FSR) Operations and Exercise/Contingency Support. Services and systems include:

Prepositioning Objective (PO) Tailoring. Tailoring the MPF MPSRONs and the MCPP-N PO involves a myriad of sequential and concurrent tasks which will ensure the most capable equipment and supplies are prepositioned. During PNT-1 tailoring, planners shifted the focus away from that of a MEB sized MAGTF to one that supports new Marine Corps employment concepts in the INDOPACOM AOR, and standardized the CRFP structure across both MPF and MCPP-N. As with previous tailoring events, Marine and Navy planners had to ensure equipment and supplies met the Commandant of the Marine Corps' (CMC) intent, the criteria as outlined in MCO 3000.17_ and MCO 4000.58 while also fitting within the constraints of a MPSRON or within the storage caves in Norway.

Components of MPF Squadrons. Ships making up the MPF program remain divided into two squadrons and geographically disbursed, but were reduced from twelve ships in Full Operating Status (FOS) to seven, with two additional MPS placed into a Reduced Operating Statues (ROS) and layberthed in Jacksonville FL. Previously, each squadron within the MPF program included designated equipment and supplies from the MEB Table of Equipment (T/E), intended to support a single force at a single location, following the release of CMC PNT-1 Guidance message directing planners to transition the MCPP in support of Force Design Operating Concepts, ships were designated to carry specific mission sets, and be capable of independent operations at multiple locations simultaneously, while retaining the ability to support a MEB in aggregate. This new configuration reduced the amount of Expeditionary Airfield (EAF), and Navy Construction Element (NCE) but increased the Naval Support Element (NSE). The Expeditionary Medical Facilities (EMF) was removed from the squadrons, and the Aviation Ground Support Equipment (AGSE), Starter Stocks / Sustainment and ammunition were all reconfigured to support future operating concepts.

Components of MCPP-N. Includes designated equipment and supplies to support the newly standardized Crisis Response Force, with various regionally aligned equipment sets such as an Arrival & Assembly set, CBRN, and Cold Weather Operations spread across three cave sites.

Tailoring Phase. Tailoring ensures interoperability across MPSRONs, MCPP-N, MCPP-PHIL and future ashore programs and provides the operating forces the opportunity to influence what is forward deployed aboard the squadrons and within MCPP-N. The MPF program and MCPP-N are dynamic programs with a notional CRFP Force List (F/L) and the associated T/E where changes occur commensurate to changes being made in the Navy and Marine Corps operating forces capabilities and structure.

MMC Planning Support. Currently, the MMC is a 42–48-month event where ships from MPSRON-2 and MPSRON-3 cycle through BICmd in a manner that reduces the number of ships and time off station to the greatest extent possible. A ship’s MMC is a very complex, labor intensive, fast-paced event that involves a multitude of organizations, making planning and communication vital to its success. The key elements to this process are the MMC squadron and ships’ plans, which are developed by the P&DSC -.

Data Management. The Contractor shall utilize current and future government-owned and/or provided information management systems, databases, and logistics automated information systems (LOGAIS) to review, download, manage, store, and modify MPS planning related data as applicable. The existing systems Integrated Computerized Deployment System (ICODES) and Sea Service Deployment Module (SSDM) contain transportation and configuration data. Total Force Structure Management System (TFSMS) and Global Combat Support System Marine Corps (GCSS-MC), contain supply and inventory information, respectively. Contractor may be required to access TFSMS and GCSS-MC to validate allowances and inventory information to facilitate the development of planning documents. Some MCPP entities, such as MCPP-N, utilize systems that have unique interface requirements. MCPP-N currently uses the Norway Equipment Inventory Management System (NEIMS) for in-country data management; however, a current initiative to migrate NEIMS data to a Marine Corps LOGAIS will address this issue. If this migration has not taken place prior to award of this contract, the P&DS contractor shall interface with Norwegian Defense Logistics Organization/Marine Expeditionary Brigade (NDLO/MEB) to facilitate the conversion of NEIMS Limited Data (text file or spreadsheet) into the current Marine Corps LOGAIS. The conversion of NEIMS Limited Data shall be imported by utilizing the government owned MCPIC software. Data management for the MCPP-PHIL program is in its infancy and will be established during this period of performance.

Information System Support. MCPP utilizes web-based information management systems, databases, software programs, and applications to develop and maintain program related information. The systems, databases, and software programs are hosted in a LOGAIS and managed by BICmd and is used primarily for MCPP. This allows instant and unrestricted continual access to pertinent entities and personnel involved with MCPP. In the performance of this PWS, the Contractor shall utilize and manage MCPIC and interface with other LOGAIS as required. All exceptions must be requested and approved, in writing, prior to implementation by the BICmd / Marine Corps Support Facility Blount Island (MCSF-BI) S-6 Office.
