The planner must speak, understand, and write in modern standard Arabic well enough to simultaneously translate English into Arabic during U.S. led plenary sessions with Arabic speaking partner nations. The contractor must have at least five years of exercise planning experience working at the Combatant Command level or higher within the U.S. Department of Defense.

1.1.2 The full time planner/linguist must be able to obtain, at a minimum, a Secret security clearance, upgradable to Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) as necessary.

1.1.3 Exercise Planning Requirements

1.1.3.1 The exercise planner will work independently, reviewing and analyzing open source materials relevant to the circumstances in partner nations and their militaries. The contractor is expected to research regional expertise and culture sources and present key findings relevant to exercise design to the exercise planning team led by the J7 exercise lead planner. The full time contractor will develop draft products to include proposed exercise training objectives, forces requirements, scenario themes, and master scenario event implementers. These inputs will be based on the timelines established IAW CCR 525-4, Joint Training, Readiness, and Exercise Planning and Execution.

1.1.3.2 The exercise planner will conduct analysis of previous exercise lessons learned, apply the findings of those lessons learned to Command Theater Campaign goals, and formulate recommended exercise scenario themes to the military or government lead planner.

1.1.3.3 The exercise planner will have no decision making authority, but is expected to provide meaningful recommendations for exercise objectives, design, and execution to the designated lead military or government planner.

1.1.3.4 The exercise planner shall provide all deliverables to the appointed military or government lead planner for specific exercise events, and other exercise support as required.

These events are fast-paced, dynamic situations requiring smooth, timely, and deliberate spoken, both simultaneous and consecutive, and written translation capabilities. The verification process will be conducted by a client-appointed specialist in the required language(s) requested, done either in person or over the telephone.

Replacement personnel are also subject to vetting.

1.2.3 Security Clearance requirements for periodic surge linguists will be on a case by case basis, as many exercise events are conducted at the Unclassified level, and will not require linguist personnel with a security clearance.

The surge requirement will be handled on an as needed basis. As events come up, the contractor will be notified of the requirements for that event. The contractor will produce an estimate of costs, including estimated travel costs, and the government will negotiate with the contractor to get to the correct level of support. A delivery order will then be issued for that event at the agreed upon price.

1.2.7 The surge linguists are to be utilized off-site. They will be needed for specific events in specific locations, so they would not be able to work from home.

1.8.9 Additional travel, as mutually agreed between the appropriate SME and COR and the contractor, may be required to complete this contract and to support data collection and product development for the spectrum of products required by tasks under this PWS.

Such additional travel will be determined as the contract progresses and separately funded by the Government through a modification.

1.8.10 Surge linguists providing spoken language support under this contract will be paid the daily contract labor rate starting the first day spoken translation work commences at the mission location as verified by the exercise lead planner, and will be paid the daily contract rate through the day the mission ends at the mission site. Payment for travel days to and from the mission site will be travel only, including airline ticket, per diem and incidentals, unless there is a directed or an airline scheduling/connection imposed remain overnight (RON) stop. In that case, the hotel cost for the RON stop can be invoiced for payment.

1.8.11 Surge linguists providing written language support under this contract will be paid the contract labor rate starting the day written translation work begins. The contractor will notify either the exercise lead planner or the COR of the day written translation work commences, and provide an estimate of how many days the written product will take to complete. Accordingly, the contractor will notify either the exercise lead planner or the COR of the completion of assigned written translation work. The task orders will tell the contractor when the support starts and ends. It will be up to the company to have them in place by the day of the requirement. For overseas, this would mean arriving the day before if they are coming from CONUS because in most cases the flights arrival occurs late afternoon/evening of the day after leaving the US.

1.8.12 The Government will not pay charges that are not specifically identified in the task and approved, in advance, by the Government. Copies of receipts, travel vouchers, etc., that have been completed in accordance with Government Joint Federal Travel Regulations (JFTR) shall be attached to the invoice to support charges. Original receipts shall be maintained by the contractor and made available to Government auditors upon request.

The contractor will be able to apply travel cost associated with the TDY based on what would be reimbursed under the JFTR.

1.8.13 Work overseas on this effort will not be a public-work contract or a contract approved or financed under the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 and therefore DBA insurance would not be required.

1.8.14 If the company believes additional pay compensation in addition to daily per diem when traveling is necessary to ensure the required level of Linguist capability is provided, the company may include that in their respective bid proposal. It is asked that it would broken out as such within their respective bid proposal.

1.8.15 Normally, contractors hired within the local area to work within the US are not given local travel compensation, and the same should be expected in the AOR. If the travel to AOR or local facilities is outside of their local area, the travelers would be entitled to the appropriate per diem rate based on that specific mission. Each case would be different, but as an example: if a linguist travels with the CENTCOM team from Amman to Aqaba, they would be entitled to the daily per diem rate when away from Amman but not mileage since they would traveling with the team.

1.9. PERIODS OF PERFORMANCE

1.9.1 The missions in the following charts are not all inclusive of projected mission requirements, but meant to be a sampling of expected missions for the full time and surge linguists. There is not a specified time of the year for the events. Some planning phases for our exercises may overlap, but the customer will work to deconflict those meetings to avoid multiple meetings occurring simultaneously.
