PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

ARSOF Training Support Contract 1st Special Warfare Training Group

Part I

General Information

1. GENERAL: This is a personal services contract to provide role players to support training exercises. The 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 Government. The Contractor, in turn, shall be accountable to the Government for Contractor or subcontractor personnel.

1.1. Description of Services/Introduction: The Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform role player support as defined in this Performance Work Statement (PWS), except for those items specified as government furnished property and services. The Contractor shall perform in accordance with (IAW) the terms and conditions of the contract and consistently with the established standards in this PWS and contract.

1.1.1 The contractor will provide adequately trained and experienced personnel and utilize best practices to prepare and develop training materials and plans to support training objectives. The contractor will converse with leadership from the 1st Special Warfare Training Group (Airborne) for planning and coordination meetings. During these meetings, the contractor will receive guidance and feedback, while providing guidance on execution considerations. The contractor will support training conducted by 1st Special Warfare Training Group (Airborne) for Special Forces (SF), Civil Affairs (CA), Military Information Support Operations (MISO) Qualification Courses, and other Army Special Operations (ARSOF) courses. The Government will provide specific schedules and support requirements to the contractor no less than thirty (30) days prior to the required start date. The Government does not anticipate a travel requirement for this contract.

All training will take place in central North Carolina in and around Camp Mackall, NC and Fort Bragg, NC.

1.2. Background: This contract was initiated in 2002 following the loss of active duty role player support to the Special Forces Qualification Course (SFQC) and the lack of manpower required to increase the throughput of the course. The original contract provided a combination of role player, base station communications, logistics, and observer/controller direct support to training exercises conducted by 1st Battalion. The contract was renewed in 2008 and the contract model was changed over from USASOC Contracting to be executed by the Program Executive Office for Simulations, Training, and Instrumentation (PEO STRI) through the Warfighter Focus contract. This contract was put into place to allow other organizations to contract "over and above" the base contract and to minimize administrative costs. Subsequently many nine other contracts were added to the original base contract in an effort to consolidate training support within one umbrella contract. In 2009 the contract was greatly expanded to include OPFOR and Guerilla role players due to the loss of the availability of other ARSOF organizations to support training. In 2012 previously separate contracts were consolidated from multiple enduring requirements in order to increase contracting efficiencies wherever possible. This contract includes previously authorized but separate contract requirements to include the SFQC Training Support Contract, the MOS Support Contract, the 18A CART Contract, the 18A ASO Contract, the MISO Training Support Contract, the Civil Affairs Training Support Contract, and the Range

Attachment 1 – Performance Work Statement Page 2 of 75

37 and Camp Mackall Support Contract. The purpose of the ARSOF Training Support Contract is to provide role player and direct support to field and situational training exercises in all ARSOF courses.

1.3. Objectives: The ARSOF Training Support Contract provides role player and training support for assessment, selection, and training conducted by 1st Special Warfare Training Group (Airborne). Training support is for field and situational training exercises and provides the depth and realism necessary to portray an adaptable training environment that focuses on achieving a desired outcome. This approach to training builds initiative, adaptability, and self-confidence of the students.

1.3.1. Provide in-role instruction during training events by subject matter experts. Subject matter expert role players must have operational experience coupled with years of instructor experience before they are capable of effectively teaching in role. This type of role play instruction allows for a free-play exercise that is reactive to the performance of the student and allows them a guided experiential learning event to unfold so that each exercise becomes a unique learning environment specifically suited to the performance and capabilities of the student. This type of role play takes years to master and cannot be replicated by tasked military support.

1.3.2. Provide basic role player support to training events. Professional role player support is critical to human terrain assessment and training events. These events require role players that understand the scenario and are capable of reacting to wide variety of responses from candidates or students then adjust appropriately depending on the desired outcome of the learning event.

Role players must understand how to engage students at the appropriate level of intensity and then adjust responses based on the performance of the student. Experienced role players understand the intent, mechanics, and flow of each exercise. This knowledge allows for instructors to be fully engaged in the instruction rather than dedicating hours to directing backside support resulting in dozens of supervisory hours saved during the execution of each exercise.

1.3.3. Provide Observer/Controller subject matter experts.

1.3.4. Provide support elements for Range 37 and Camp Mackall.

1.4. Scope: 1st Special Warfare Training Group (Airborne) requires training support for Special Forces (SF), Civil Affairs (CA), Military Information Support Operations (MISO) Qualification Courses, and other Army Special Operations (ARSOF) courses. The contractor will provide labor, uniforms, materials, facilities, training aids, and equipment required to support the training requirements outlined in this PWS except those items specifically stated to be government-furnished in Technical Exhibit A and section 5 of this PWS. This contract supports the United States Army John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School. All training will take place in central North Carolina in and around Camp Mackall, NC and Fort Bragg, NC

1.5. Period of Performance: The period of performance shall be for a one (1) Base Year period of 12 months and four (4) 12-month option periods. The dates in this PWS will cover exercises conducted from 1 July 2019 through 30 June 2020. See enclosures for exercise schedules.

Most training days will exceed a normal eight-hour workday of 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. and should be considered to be 12 hours in duration. Training days are calculated at 12 hours per days to allow ample flexibility in the schedule and to allow time to conduct administrative tasks such as issue and turn in of equipment, accountability, and after action reviews (AARs). The Contractor shall at all times maintain an adequate workforce for the uninterrupted performance of all tasks defined within this PWS when the government facility is not closed for the above reasons. When hiring personnel, the Contractor shall keep in mind that the stability and continuity of the workforce are essential to successful performance under this contract.

The length of the training day is dependent on the specifics of the training scenario and other unforeseeable contingencies. These requirements necessitate a considerable degree of flexibility on the part of the contractor with regard to employee workload scheduling. Duty hours will include weekends and federal holidays during the exercise. Meal times and length shall also vary depending upon role player and student interaction.
