FOR

DEFENSE MANPOWER DATA CENTER (DMDC)

AMENDMENT 001

Introduction The Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) requires cardstock and consumables logistical support to maintain the Department of Defense (DoD) Common Access Card (CAC) identity credential solution for DoD and other Federal agencies that have adopted the DoD CAC credential.

Background

2.1. DMDC is the component organization within the DoD to implement smartcard technology and the DoD’s initial Department-wide credentialing program, as directed by the Deputy Secretary of Defense. Since the initial CAC implementation, the Department has expanded the CAC program to select Federally-affiliated organizations. In addition to CAC production, DMDC has a requirement for logistical support to include the warehousing, card and consumables distribution, and card return processing necessary for program implementation.

2.2. The DoD CAC solution has been accepted by more than 20 Military Departments and DoD and non-DoD agencies in compliance with HSPD-12, and approximately 3.5 million cards are currently in circulation and an additional 225,000 issued monthly. In order to successfully maintain the program for the Department and its customers, DMDC has a requirement to ensure that cardstock is available and distributed to 2,000 Real-time Automated Personnel Identification System (RAPIDS) sites world-wide. Beginning late 2019, DMDC will centrally manage plastic cardstock for all non-CAC populations like military retirees, family members, inactive reserve members and others. These are referred to as Uniformed Services Identification (USID) cards. RAPIDS issues an average of 2.5 million USIDs annually. DMDC will begin shipping alternate token cardstock to the Military Services and DoD Agencies. DMDC anticipates minimal shipping support of the Alternate Tokens with an estimate of less than 50K annually. The collective requirement for CACs, USID, and tokens is referred to in this document as the “cardstock program.”

Scope The scope of this acquisition is to provide logistical and warehousing support for the cardstock program to effectively and efficiently maintain the DoD cardstock solution for DoD and other Federal agencies. Attachment A lists the dimensions of the items for the scope of the task order. The scope includes supporting the program by warehousing, distributing, processing, and storing associated cardstock and consumable products:

· Cardstock (CAC/Token/USID)

· Sleeves (CAC only)

· Consumables (CAC and USID) Tasks

4.1.Cardstock and Consumables and Warehousing
4.1.1.The Contractor shall ship emergency shipments of cardstock to RAPIDS sites as directly by the government. The Contractor shall notify the government of any unforeseen surge in emergency requests. Cardstock releases in support of DMDC’s cardstock program are routinely processed directly by the card manufacturers from their vaults under separate contracts. For emergency shipments, the contractor shall track cardstock and token by card type, card vendor, and stack identification (ID) number via the Inventory Logistics System (ILS), which is an automated tool to track smart cards and consumables inventory and shipments. Cardstock is packaged in “stacks” of 100 cards each. The contractors must be eligible to obtain a Common Access Card. The CAC is required to access the Inventory Logistics System (ILS). The government will furnish the contractor with CAC card readers to use with their own (contractor) computers to enter the information into ILS.
4.1.2.The government will provide the printer consumables and sleeves used in card production to the contractor. Examples of printer consumables could be color ribbon, front and back laminate, retransfer film, test cardstock and cleaning kits.
4.1.3.The contractor shall notify the Government 30 days prior to when additional consumables are needed to maintain sufficient supply to support the daily orders.

4.1.4. The contractor shall utilize the First In, First Out (FIFO) distribution method in order to avoid shelf life expiration unless otherwise requested by the Government. For planning purposes, the consumables and cardstock materials require well-ventilated storage areas to comply with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards. The contractor shall reimburse the government for any cardstock and consumables that are damaged or expired as a result of non-compliance with DMDC FIFO requirements.

4.1.5WAREHOUSE - The contractor shall provide a storage facility that is ISO 9001-2015 certified and an estimated warehousing size to support this PWS is approximately 1400 – 1500 sq. feet in size. Warehouse should be located within the continental United States (CONUS).
4.1.6.The contractor shall provide distribution and warehousing for consumables. All supply orders are automated and generated by the ILS and/or from the RAPIDS sites to the contractor. Emergency requests for re-supply are received via standard mail, e-mail, FAX and regular automated reorders generated via the ILS. The contractor shall access government provided supplies to support the shipments of consumables and CAC/Token emergency shipments. All shipments of orders shall be processed and ready (for FedEx pick-up) the same business day of receipt of order, unless it is received late in the day then it will be processed the next day. The contractor shall be ready to process any emergency shipment the same day as requested by the government. The contractor shall log all boxes shipped via FEDEX or DHL using Monthly Government Shipping Account Usage Report as per Attachment D. All shipments of orders shall be processed and ready (for FedEx pick-up) within two (2) business days of receipt of order.
4.1.7For any consumables that are returned to the contractor in error, the contractor shall notify the government within 24 hours as to what was returned, how many, used or unused. For the unused consumables, they will be put into inventory for reuse for new shipments. The used consumables will be kept at the contractor’s location until the end of the performance period for shredding. The contractor shall provide the government with the following information in order to provide the shredding service: number of boxes of used consumables, dimensions of the boxes and approximate weight. The government will provide the shredding service.
4.1.8.The contractor shall provide a daily Cardstock Review report to DMDC to facilitate the required approvals including the current inventory on-hand at the support center of individual cards/tokens brands and types. The Cardstock Review Report captures all orders emailed/faxed to the support center/DMDC.
4.1.9.The government provides the contractor with directions for shipment releases. The contractor shall then package the individual site's re-supply of cardstock and/or consumables for shipment and capture the associated shipment tracking data listed below. The contractor shall link the appropriate cardstock/token and/or consumables in the ILP within 24 hours after the shipments have been made. For reporting requirements, the inventory released and shipment tracking data is entered into a database for the respective sites that will receive the shipments. On a monthly basis, the contractor shall submit the DMDC Cardstock and Consumable Order Report as per Attachment C. This reports the cumulative of all orders to include auto-generated and emergency manual orders. Data fields to be included are identified in Attachment C, DMDC Cardstock and Consumable Order Report.
4.1.10.The contractor shall ship cardstock and consumables using a DMDC-provided shipping account. The government will provide all packaging and shipping materials, however, for FedEx supplies, the contractor shall order from Fedex.com as necessary to support the daily shipments.

The contractor is responsible for tracking all tracking numbers, site name, DEERS Site ID, shipment date, for all outgoing cardstock and consumables that use the DMDC-provided shipping account. The contactor shall comply with all local Customs requirements, particularly OCONUS, for shipping of cardstock, tokens and consumables. The contractor shall provide the cumulative shipping data for the fiscal year electronically on a weekly basis. The contractor shall use the weekly information to create the monthly deliverable government Shipping Account Usage Report, Attachment D. FedEx is the current shipping provider, however, it is subject to change as required by the government’s guidance. The contractor shall ship cardstock orders and along with the required consumables at the same time per government’s instructions. The contractor shall track all shipments through the ILS. The contractor shall use Attachment B report for the weekly report of the current inventory on hand and the weekly shipments of cardstock and consumables.

4.1.11The number of shipments per performance period is 7,000. This is the amount to be used for pricing this requirement. Attachment B is provided to show a year of historical data to provide information as to prior frequencies and size of shipments for both cardstock and consumables shipments. This attachment is provided for information only to show past frequencies and size of shipments.
4.2Return Cardstock
4.2.1All sites are provided with instructions for card and token return and for consumable disposal in accordance with local procedures. World-wide RAPIDS sites are instructed to return all CAC cardstock (excluding USID cards, blank cardstock and consumables) that are used, expired, replaced or encountered production issues to the contractor’s location. The Government will not provide a definitive number for pallets shipped. See Attachment B for historical data which may be used for the contractor's estimate. The Government will however, provide pallets as government furnished equipment, as needed for the returned cards. Average monthly for cards returned is 225,000.00. From October 2017 to September 2018, average of 200,000 cards were returned and processed each month. Firm quantity for this RFQ is shown in 4.2.3.6.
4.2.2.For all returned CAC cardstock, the contractor shall:
4.2.2.1Track numbers, Site name, Site ID, Shipment Date, and Receipt Date, quantity received.
4.2.2.2This information shall be provided in the electronic Government Shipping Account Usage Report. The contractor shall report any sites that are non-compliant with the required packaging to the COR immediately.
4.2.3.1Inspect all returned CAC boxes to determine whether they were double-packaged when mailed to DMDC, as required by the Privacy Act of 1974. The contractor shall notify the COR of any non-compliance with this requirement within 48 hours.
4.2.3.2Sort all returned smart cards based on failure reason/code.
4.2.3.3Using a government furnished reader, the contractor shall scan all returned cards (hand-entering when damage prevents scanning) to record the Card Unique Identifier/Card Identification Number (CUID/CIN) number and the error code from the sorted cardstock.
4.2.3.5Track and report the number of returned cards received and the number of returned card processed each month.
4.2.3.6The quantity for CAC returns per year is 2,700,000. This is the quantity to be used for pricing this requirement.
4.2.3.7The contractor shall perform all requirements under Section 4.2 within 30 days of receipt of the CAC returns to the contractor.
4.3.Returned Cardstock Shipping
4.3.1The contractor shall follow the provided procedures to return cards for proper destruction as required to adequately support the cardstock program and use shipping return process outlined at Attachment F – CAC Return Card Overview. Deviating from NSA instructions poses great risk to continued NSA’s cardstock destruction support. The Contractor shall ensure the first package includes a large envelope or box with a Privacy Act Data Cover Sheet, which identifies the cardstock as containing Personally Identifiable Information (PII) data. The second outer package shall be a box from a third party courier or from your site that has the words “For Official Government Use Only” stated on it. The first package shall be inserted into the second outer package for return shipment using the Federal Express account provided by DMDC. Shipments to NSA are every 2 months. However certain error code cards will require a monthly shipment to the third party vendor for further analysis per the government’s instructions. The government will not supply packaging materials. Fedex Supplies will supply the contractor free basic shipping supplies. This includes mostly branded supplies like boxes, label pouches, customs forms and the like.
4.3.2The government will provide instructions for shipments to the contractor upon award. The contractor will send to designated third party for analysis or destruction. The Contractor shall ensure all required documents are included with shipping. All shipments must include a DD Form 2923, Privacy Act Data Cover Sheet. Third party documentation requirements for shipping may vary. The Government will provide complete instructions/guidance. An example of a current requirement is that a document listing the contents must be included for each shipment of cards sent for destruction/analysis. In another example, the documentation requires the inclusion of a self-addressed envelope for validation of receipt.
4.3.3The contractor shall inspect the outer box to ensure that it is in good condition and can be properly sealed and ensure that the box chosen for shipping can withstand the weight of the cardstock and will not break when in transit. If a box breaks or opens in transit, Privacy Act data contained on the returned ID cards is at risk of being exposed. The contractor shall follow the DMDC and NSA Return Card Overview (Attachment F) for shipping the return cards that have been processed to NSA for final destruction. The Contractor shall complete the CMC Required Procedures (Attachment G) when processing each shipment of the returned cards to NSA. The Contractor shall verify and complete the CMC Receipt for Destruction of Classified Material (see Attachment H) from NSA Website https://www.nsa.gov/Portals/70/documents/news-features/initiatives/classified-materiel-conversion/cmc_receipt.pdf?ver=2018-08-07-110456-643

to ensure it is still a valid form, then complete the form for each shipment to NSA. The Contractor shall complete form Contractor Approval Form for the Destruction of Classified Material at NSA/CMC facility (Attachment I) annually and forward to the COR for review and signature then submit to NSA after it has been signed by the COR. Attachment E is for information purpose of how RAPIDS sites return the cardstock to the contractor/DMDC. The Contactor shall print the Privacy Act Data Cover Sheet in color.

4.3.4 Shipments to third party (NSA) will be done every 2 months and third party analysis will be done monthly for certain error codes cards (see 4.3.2).

4.4 Senior Management Review Report (SMR).

The contractor shall provide a Senior Management Review (SMR) Report monthly. See SMR template at Attachment J for required content and format. Contractor shall participate in a monthly SMR and will change to quarterly when requested by the government. There will be no travel required. The monthly SMR will be telephonic. The purpose of the SMR is to provide monthly program review and any issues required government escalation.

4.5. Transition In

Government Surveillance and Monitoring

13.1 QUALITY ASSURANCE/SURVEILLANCE PLAN

The contractor, not the Government, is responsible for the management and quality control actions to meet the terms and conditions of the contract. The role of the Government in quality assurance surveillance is to assess contractor performance and to evaluate whether performance standards are achieved. It is the Contractor’s responsibility to ensure all requirements meet the Government’s standards and criteria for acceptances, and acceptable quality levels. The Government will ensure this responsibility has been met before payment is made to the Contractor. All data deliveries shall be submitted on time as set forth in the purchase order. Services shall be provided in accordance with best practices, in a responsive, knowledgeable, timely and professional manner. Incidental materials, if required, shall be furnished in new condition, with all original manufacturers’ warranties in effect at the time of delivery. Government Furnished Equipment and facilities must be returned to clean, operational condition. Damaged or unserviceable equipment shall be brought to the attention of the COR for final disposition.

A Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) (Attachment K) has been developed by the Government to provide a systematic surveillance method for the service rendered and which describes the methodology by which the Contractor’s performance will be monitored. This QASP is a “living document” and the Government may review and revise it on a regular basis. However, the Government shall coordinate changes with the contractor. Updates shall ensure that the QASP remains a valid, useful, and enforceable document. Copies of the original QASP and revisions shall be provided to the contractor and Government officials implementing surveillance activities upon contract award.

This plan contains a Contractor Performance Assessment Report (CPAR) information and form (Attachment L) to be utilized in documenting contractor performance for use in motivating the contractor on the current contract; and serves as a data base for past performance evaluations for future contracts. The COR should use this form as the primary motivational tool to encourage high quality contractor performance. The report will be generated yearly or more frequently if necessary to document outstanding or unsatisfactory performance. The contractor should understand that these reports will remain in a data base for three years and will be available to all Government agencies for technical evaluation purposes.

13.2 METHODS OF SURVEILLANCE

The contractor shall meet all standards in the Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan and Performance Based Matrix (Attachment K) as well as all other deliverable dates and other contractual requirements. The COR will evaluate the performance objectives through periodic inspections during each service month. The COR will also solicit customer input to evaluate the Contractor’s performance. The COR should record both outstanding and unacceptable performance.

The Performance-based Matrix lists the services to be monitored and the standards to be applied. The contractor shall meet all standards in the Performance-based Matrix as well as all other deliverable dates and other contractual requirements.

Hours of Work Personnel are expected to provide support during a normal workday (8 hours) over a normal workweek (5 days). The following Federal holidays are observed:

New Year's Day Martin Luther King, Jr. Birthday President’s Day Memorial Day Independence Day Labor Day Columbus Day Veterans Day Thanksgiving Day Christmas Day

Inspection and Acceptance Deliverables shall be inspected and accepted at destination. Services shall be inspected and accepted at the location where the services are rendered.

The Government reserves the right at all reasonable times to inspect or otherwise evaluate the work performed or being performed. All inspection and evaluations shall be performed in such a manner as will not unduly delay the work.

Only the COR, a designated alternate, the GSA PM or GSA CO has the authority to inspect, accept, or reject all deliverables. Final acceptance of all deliverables will be provided in writing or in electronic format to the GSA PM or GSA CO within thirty (30) days from the end of the purchase order.

In the absence of other agreements negotiated with respect to time provided for Government review, deliverables will be inspected in accordance with all specifications stated in the purchase order. The acceptance of deliverables and satisfactory work performance required herein shall be based on the timeliness and accuracy of the service requested.

The Contractor shall be notified of the COR’s and PM findings within five (5) work days. If the deliverables are not acceptable, the COR will notify the CO.

Unsatisfactory Work Performance by the Contractor to correct defects found by the US Government as a result of quality assurance surveillance and by the Contractor as a result of quality control, shall be in accordance with FAR 52.212-4(a). The COR will monitor compliance and report to the CO.

Place of Performance Performance will take place at the contractor’s location.

Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI) The Government is requiring each offeror to provide a disclosure statement addressing, to the best of its knowledge and belief, the existence of any potential or actual OCI. Each offeror shall include in the disclosure statement, a statement addressing whether any of its labor force (which includes proposed subcontractors and/or proposed consultants) may have a potential or actual OCI. If a potential or actual OCI exists, the offeror must present a plan for avoiding or mitigating the OCI.

The Contracting Officer will individually evaluate each offeror’s disclosure statement and the adequacy of any plan submitted for avoiding or mitigating any OCI. If the Contracting Officer determines that a potential or actual OCI exists, the offeror may not receive an award unless the Contracting Officer determines that the OCI can be avoided or mitigated through the inclusion of a special clause or other appropriate means. The terms of any special clause are subject to negotiation.

If the Contractor provides an agency with support in preparing for and/or conducting acquisitions under this order, the agency may require that the Contractor sign an organizational conflict of interest statement in which the Contractor (and any subcontractors or teaming partners) agree not to submit any quote or provide any support to any firm which is submitting (as prime or subcontractor) any quote for any solicitation resulting from the work under this order. The agency and Contractor shall strive to identify and report situations in which an organizational conflict may result. All potential conflict of interest situations shall be handled in accordance with FAR Subpart 9.5.

All Contractor personnel (to include subcontractors and consultants) who will be personally and substantially involved in the performance of any task under this order which requires the Contractor to act on behalf of, or provide advice with respect to any phase of an agency procurement, as defined in FAR 3.104-4, shall execute and submit an “Employee/Contractor Non-Disclosure Agreement” (Attachment N). This is required prior to the commencement of any work on such task and whenever replacement personnel are proposed under an ongoing task.
