1.0 DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES
This Performance Work Statement (PWS) provides for various Advisory and Assistance Services (A&AS) and Non-Advisory and Assistance Services (Non-A&AS) to Headquarters North American Aerospace Defense Command (HQ NORAD) and Headquarters US Northern Command (HQ USNORTHCOM) directorates, special staff offices, and other activities in support of various missions, and command, control, communications, and intelligence activities. As command roles and responsibilities have expanded, the range of advisory and assistance support has expanded as well to provide more varied and intensive analyses of technical, cost, and programmatic issues. This contract will serve as a vehicle to provide further broadened technical and analytical tools, support or improve policy development, management, and administration, or improve the operation of systems supporting the HQ NORAD and HQ USNORTHCOM missions. The Commands also require various forms of support during several phases of planning, programming, acquisition, and implementation cycles of various government systems and will need to complement the Government's technical expertise in accomplishing its mission. All services requested under this PWS are non-personal in nature and will be requested by a task order generated by the Contracting Officer (CO).
1.1 Scope. HQ NORAD and HQ USNORTHCOM have a continuing requirement for contracted support on a worldwide basis and within a broad range of services, both advisory and assistance services (A&AS) and non-advisory and assistance services (non-A&AS). The A&AS primarily comprises three major categories of services: Management, Operational and Professional Support Services; Studies, Analyses, and Evaluations; and Engineering and Technical Services. The non-A&AS primarily comprises two major categories of services: Information Management and Engineering Services. All HQ NORAD and HQ USNORTHCOM directorates and special staff offices listed in the appendix to the PWS are considered primary using activities for this contract effort. However, other organizations and agencies assigned to directly support or are supported by HQ NORAD and/or HQ USNORTHCOM including: Canadian NORAD Region (CANR), Continental United States Region (CONR), CONR-1AF (AFNORTH), Joint Forces Headquarters – National Capitol Region (JFHQ-NCR),National Guard Bureau (NGB), any Joint Task Force formed by NORAD-USNORTHCOM, such as Joint Task Force Alaska (JTF-Alaska), Joint Task Force – Civil Support (JTF-CS), Joint Task Force-North (JTF-N), and Component Commands consisting of Army North (ARNORTH), CONR-1AF (AFNORTH), Fleet Forces Command (FFC), and Marine Forces Reserve North (MARFORNORTH) and/or sub-unified command designated may require similar services on an “as needed” basis. These supporting commands and agencies may order these services provided requirements are within the scope of this contract and comply with all federal guidelines.
1.2 Mission. HQ NORAD, in close collaboration with homeland defense, security, and law enforcement partners, prevents air attacks against North America, safeguard the sovereign airspaces of the United States and Canada by responding to unknown, unwanted and unauthorizeds air activity approaching and operating within these airspaces, and provides aerospace and maritime warning for North America. HQ USNORTHCOM’s mission is to conduct operations to anticipate, deter, prevent, and defeat threats and aggression aimed at the United States, its territories, and interests within the assigned area of responsibility and, when directed, provide defense support of civil authorities including consequence management operations.
1.3 Requirements. This PWS defines general task order requirements and mission areas from various HQ NORAD and HQ USNORTHCOM directorates and special staff offices (also referred to as functional areas) which may need support throughout the life of this contract. The applicable directorate or special staff office will manage all applicable task orders and provide qualified Quality Assurance Personnel (QAP) to monitor the task order. Note that units assigned to HQ NORAD or HQ USNORTHCOM but not reporting to a specific directorate or special staff office may submit requirements to the most appropriate directorate or special staff office based on the mission and required support. The contractor shall perform technical analyses and assessments as defined in individual task orders. The nature of this work will at times demand that the Contractor be capable of quick response to tight deadlines in support of day-to-day surge requirements, crisis events and/or real world event support and National Security Special Events (NSSEs). Some deadlines may be days or hours from receipt of the tasking. The Contractor may be required to analyze position papers, plans, or briefings or may be required to evaluate technical issues on short notice.

2.2.1 TA2S is a non-personal services contract, defined by FAR Part 37 as a “contract under which the personnel rendering the services are not subject, either by the contract’s terms or by the manner of its administration, to the supervision and control usually prevailing in relationships between the Government and its employees.”
2.2.2 The Government shall not supervise or otherwise direct contractor employees. The Contractor shall not supervise or otherwise direct government employees, nor shall the Contractor supervise employees of other contractors outside the Contractors’ own subcontracting/teaming arrangements.
2.3 Contractor Identification
2.3.1 All TA2S contractor personnel shall be required to wear company identification badges so as to easily distinguish themselves from government employees (e.g. corporate identification badges, Government issued identification that reflects contractor status, etc.) These badges must be conspicuously displayed at all times when working with government personnel. Identification badges must be displayed above the waist at all times to allow for easy identification as a contractor employee or authorized subcontractor performing work for the contractor. Badges shall be worn at all times when contractor employees are co-located on a Government installation or when on temporary duty (TDY) working with other Government personnel. Subcontractor employees’ identification badges shall identify their respective prime contractor.
2.3.2 When conversing with government personnel during business meetings, over the telephone or via electronic mail, support contractor personnel shall identify themselves as such to avoid any perception that they may be government employees and to avoid situations arising where sensitive topics might be better discussed solely between government employees. Electronic mail signature blocks and business cards shall identify contractor/company affiliation.

Quarterly multi-functional team meetings shall be coordinated by the Government Program Manager, hosted by the Contractor, and may be held at either the Contractor or government facilities. The Contractor shall provide minutes of the meeting within 5 calendar days for both multi-functional and monthly meetings, if applicable.
2.5 Base Closure/Government Morale and Recreational Activities. Situations may arise where government facilities may not be available for performance of requirements (i.e., base closure due to weather, force protection conditions, etc.). There may also be occasions when N-NC support contractors are invited to participate in morale and recreational activities (e.g., holiday parties, golf outings, sports day and other various social events). Under these circumstances, contractor employees shall comply with individual company policy in accordance with company compensation system. Because the Government does not have an employer/employee relationship with contractor employees, it is not authorized to grant administrative leave or expend government resources to compensate contractor employees for hours expended on activities not included in the PWS.
2.6 Professional and Management Services. Services required for HQ NORAD and HQ USNORTHCOM constitute professional and management services. The contractor shall comply with 29 CFR Part 541 for employees whose work responsibilities and education qualify them for referenced professional exemptions.
