Performance Work Statement

For Program Management Support Services

Security Assistance and Equipping Directorate

1.0 General: This is a non-personal services contract to provide subject matter experts (SMEs) for program management support services to the Defense Security Cooperation Agency’s

(DSCA) Directorate for Security Assistance and Equipping (SA&E). The Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over contractor employees performing services herein. Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn, is responsible to the Government.

1.1 Description of Services/Introduction: The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform program management support services as set forth in this Performance Work Statement (PWS) except as Specified in Part 3 below, as government furnished property. Because of the fluidity of the support needed, the contractor tasks herein are not meant to be all-inclusive. Additional tasks will be within scope, and of a similar nature, complexity, and skill level. The specific work effort related to these areas will be explained, prioritized, and further clarified on a regular basis by the COR. Services will be performed at DSCA facilities.

1.2 Background:

1.2.1 DSCA leads, directs, and manages security cooperation programs and resources to support

U.S. national security objectives that build relationships that promote U.S. interests; build allied and partner capacities for self-defense and coalition operations; and promote peacetime and contingency access for U.S. forces. The agency is responsible for planning, coordination, administration and supervision of Department of State (DOS) and Department of Defense (DOD) programs for transfer of defense articles, services, and training by sale or grant to foreign governments and international organizations. These programs include Foreign Military Sales

(FMS) in which defense articles, services, and training are sold to eligible foreign countries and international organizations with Foreign Military Financing (FMF) and host nation funding; and the International Military Education and Training (IMET) Program, wherein training is provided by grant aid. DOD programs include the use of “Pseudo” FMS cases (commonly referred to as

Building Partner Capacity (BPC) cases) providing defense articles, services, and training to foreign countries that are funded by the U.S. BPC cases support programs and authorities such as the Counter Terrorism Partnership Fund (CTPF), and Section 2282 for Building Capacity of

Foreign Security Forces, and other Global Train and Equip (GTE) Programs.

1.2.2 SA&E Directorate is responsible for identifying and implementing actions to improve the responsiveness and execution of the FMS process by working closely with the Implementing

Agencies (IAs), other DoD offices, and the interagency. SA&E provides resources and training to ensure that Country Portfolio Directors (CPDs) and Equipping Portfolio Directors (EPDs) are most effective in the execution of FMS processes and their active role managing country portfolios and equipping portfolios within their respective Integrated Regional Team (IRT).

SA&E initiated contracting with industry to hire experienced contractors to provide programmatic support services for DSCA’s Security Cooperation (SC) programs to lend experienced expertise to high priority and high visibility programs to intensively assist the

Government with management of these programs and assure responsiveness from requirement definition to delivery and case closure. Historically, this has been performed by five (5) contractors in support of Country Program Directors for countries including Afghanistan, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, and Pakistan; and expanded by two (2) contractors to support Building Partner

Capacity (BPC) managed programs. Responsibilities include identifying requirements, submitting Congressional Notifications, tracking Letters of Requests (LORs) and Memorandum of Requests (MORs), implementing Letters of Offer and Acceptance (LOA), and implementing actions to manage and execute assigned BPC program cases that are funded under U.S.

legislative authority.

1.2.3 The use of U.S. funded programs expanded greatly in support of operations and equipping foreign forces in Iraq, Afghanistan, the Middle East and Africa. Security cooperation, and the use of the FMS process to obtain and provide defense articles, services, and training, also expanded with the use of security cooperation authorities such as Counter Terrorism Partnership

Fund (CTPF), Section 2282 for Building Capacity of Foreign Security Forces, Iraq Train and

Equip Fund (ITEF), Afghanistan Security Forces Fund (ASFF), the use of Presidential determinations, and the drawdown of equipment. All of these add to the complexity and level of effort and expertise required and has required additional manpower to address. In some programs, there is increased partnership between the Department of Defense to the Department of State, and that transition is producing additional requirements for coordination, tracking, and communications. Other global initiatives related to BPC include the Special Defense

Acquisition Fund (SDAF), Global Security Contingency Fund (GSCF), and the Global

Peacekeeping Initiative (GPOI).

1.2.4 Contractors will assist the SA&E Directorate in complying with security cooperation policies and procedures. They will support defined programs and authorities to ensure that the

DSCA assistance for assigned countries operates in an effective and responsive manner. The continuation of contractor support is required to lend support to FMS and related country programs. Responsibilities include identifying and implementing actions to manage and execute assigned BPC programs cases that are funded under U.S. legislative authority.

1.3 Objective: The objectives are to secure qualified professionals to provide experienced FMS expertise to Country Program Directors (CPDs) in their oversight of the U.S. Government’s

(USG) SC programs; and to support Equipping Program Leads at DSCA. Services include, but are not limited to providing programmatic and administrative support; assisting in coordinating and facilitating information; fostering interdepartmental relationships; assisting with researching;

analyzing data; and developing response packages to fulfill reporting requirements. These positions also require extensive experience in managing and tracking traditional FMS and BPC programs from requirements definition described in LORs or MORs through delivery of material in country. The restrictions outlined in the various authorities for executing these cases requires intensive management over and above that typically required of typical FMS country programs.

A solid understanding of logistics, financial management, transportation, and current security cooperation database management tools, are desired for the position. Contractors will assist the

SA&E Directorate in complying with security cooperation policies and procedures. They will support defined programs to ensure that the DSCA assistance for assigned countries operates in an effective and responsive manner. The support requested is intended to provide products in a wide range of cross-functional areas, as shown in Part 5 below.

1.4 Operational Information:

1.4.1 Period of Performance: The period of performance is for a base period of twelve (12) months and two (2) 12 month option periods. Total contract period of performance including exercise of optional periods is thirty-six (36) months.

Reimbursable CLIN for travel. All travel must be approved by the Contracting Officer and COR prior to actual travel being taken.

1.4.9 Security Requirements:

1.4.9.1 The contractor is responsible for safeguarding information of a confidential or sensitive nature. Failure to safeguard any classified/proprietary information which may involve the contractor or the contractor’s personnel or to which they may have access may subject the contractor and/or the contractor’s employees to criminal liability. Provisions of the Privacy Act apply to all records and reports maintained by the contractor.
