PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

DOD CORROSION TRAINING ON APPLICATIONS OF COATINGS TECHNOLOGY

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

1. GENERAL

This is a non-personnel services contract to provide DOD Corrosion Training on Applications of Coatings Technology. 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.

1.1. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

The Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to support DOD Corrosion Training on Applications of Coatings Technology as defined in this Performance Work Statement (PWS) except for those items specified as Government furnished property and services. The contractor shall perform to the standards of this contract.

1.2. BACKGROUND

The term “corrosion” as defined by congressional legislation refers to the deterioration of a material or its properties due to a reaction of that material with its chemical environment. This corrosion environment is substantial and nearly every aspect of Department of Defense (DOD) equipment and infrastructure world-wide are composed of materials susceptible to oxidation, stress, surface wear and other chemical and environmental mechanisms that cause corrosion.

Pursuant to Public Law 107-314 Section 1067, codified in 10 U.S.C. 2228, the Directorate of Corrosion Policy and Oversight (CPO), Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics (OUSD [AT&L]) is responsible for initiating and coordinating corrosion prevention, control and mitigation activities and policies across the DOD. The CPO directs and oversees the DOD Corrosion Prevention and Mitigation Program, a program initiated in response to meeting requirements set forth by the law. In order to implement strategies, determine objectives and develop and execute plans, procedures, and roadmaps, the DOD established an overarching Corrosion Prevention and Control Integrated Product Team (CPC IPT) with Working Integrated Product Teams (WIPT) across seven functional areas officiated by the CPO.

To support the CPO in the management of the diverse range of requirements, CPC IPT WIPTs are required to develop and continually update action plans associated with the following functional areas:

Corrosion Policy, Processes, Procedures and Oversight Metrics, Impact and Sustainment Science and Technology Outreach and Communications Facilities Training and Certification Specifications, Standards and Qualification Process

This contract supports the DOD Corrosion Prevention and Mitigation Strategic Plan (January 2014), specifically the mission of the Training and Certification WIPT (T&C WIPT) mission (reference Attachment A). Specifically, these contract activities directly address a primary T&C WIPT objective to “identify and properly educate and train every individual whose actions could measurably prevent or mitigate corrosion in the Department’s equipment and infrastructure.”

The corrosion training program described within this PWS intends to assist the CPO in carrying out requirements as described under 10 U.S.C 2228.

1.3. GENERAL OBJECTIVES

Once equipment is fielded or facilities are completed, these systems are subject to corrosion resulting from a wide-range of variables including age, usage and ravages of their operating environment. While a substantial return on investment normally occurs early during the acquisition design and procurement process, it remains essential that maintenance and sustainment personnel be adequately trained in corrosion identification, prevention and remediation in order to sustain the lifecycle of these systems. The DOD corrosion training approach therefore must encompass the following objectives:

a. Identify DOD personnel (officers, enlisted and civilians) across the acquisition, maintenance, and sustainment workforce at all levels of DOD systems management requiring corrosion education and training

b. Define the appropriate scope of required education and training and develop course curricula based on critical needs of the target student audience

c. Maintain compliance of corrosion education and training requirements as a result of changes to existing or issuance of new DOD initiatives, policies, and training requirements

d. Maintain viability and relevancy of corrosion education and training through reviews of and updates to (e.g., course content, training material, trainers and training sites) corrosion training curricula, including the integration of emerging technologies and industry trends

e. Analysis of student data to produce meaningful metrics that address current gaps in education and training capabilities, identify corrosion training trends across organizations, and determine the effectiveness of the corrosion training program as a whole

All Services provide varying types and levels of corrosion-related training to their members dependent on positions as assigned as well as their scope of duties and responsibilities.

Additionally, the CPO provides funding for DOD personnel to enroll in training classes related to corrosion prevention and mitigation to augment the individual Service training activities. This effort is necessary to support efforts for DOD agencies’ corrosion prevention and control requirements to sustain a workforce that is adequately trained in corrosion identification, prevention and remediation. Holding the primary responsibilities in the lifecycle maintenance of equipment and infrastructure across the DOD, the maintenance and sustainment community serve as the targeted training audience for this effort.

1.4. SCOPE

The scope of this contract provides corrosion training to DOD personnel in support of the DOD Corrosion Prevention and Mitigation Strategic Plan, section III, subsection E, paragraph 4, WIPT Policies, Mission, Objectives and Strategies: Training and Certification WIPT (Attachment A).

The corrosion training curriculum shall address the general areas of corrosion control, cathodic protection (CP), and coating inspection. This curriculum establishes a foundational understanding and the knowledge base required for a DOD workforce trained in the understanding of corrosion prevention and control issues for DOD equipment and infrastructure.

Curricula and associated courses developed and administered by the contractor shall be in compliance with applicable industry and DOD standards where appropriate.

The contractor shall provide and administer corrosion training curricula to DOD military and civilian personnel, and as required, work in coordination with the Government to update the curriculum to address specific DOD training requirements. Depending on the specific training topic, corrosion courses may include in-person classroom lectures, online coursework, or a combination of both. The contractor shall provide qualified instructors, services, materials, equipment, supplies and facilities necessary to administer the training and as required, administer course examinations. Any additional expenditure such as programmatic support requirements required for management and oversight shall be incorporated in the cost calculations for each individual training course within the curriculum.

The total number of DOD-funded students enrolled in corrosion training curricula fluctuates from year to year; however, a total of 504 DOD students per training year are estimated based on CPO’s historic execution of this activity. However, the number of DOD students able to participate in a particular training course or apply for re-certification in those courses within each fiscal year may vary.

The contractor shall maintain a repository for DOD student records which includes such data fields administrative, demographic, and details of training metrics to include enrollment, courses completed, and other relevant data. Those DOD personnel having successfully completed accredited corrosion training shall be provided appropriate documentation for the application of those course credits toward an accredited professional certification program recognized by applicable organizations across government, industry, and academic organizations.

1.5. PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE

Effective upon contract award, the period of performance shall be for an initial base year (BY) comprised of 12-months, and 4 additional option years (OY), as shown below in Table 1:
