PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

FOR

U.S. Army National Guard Conduct of Fire Trainer Modular Situation Awareness Upgrade (COFT-M-SA)

1.0 General: The United States Army National Guard (ARNG) has a validated requirement for Army National Guard COFT-M-SA.

1.1 Scope: The ARNG has a need for COFT-M-SA Gunnery Trainers to train Abrams crews on gunnery in order to meet Gate To Live Fire (GTLF) requirements. ARNG has more than 420 tank crews, most of which require annual qualification on gunnery in accordance with Training Circular (TC) 3-20.31, Crew Training and Qualification, dated March 2015. In accordance with TC 3-20.0, Integrated Weapons Training Strategy, dated June 2015 simulations are required prior to live or dry fire training events. Due to geographical and simulations limitations COFT-M-SAs provide sufficient mitigation for this gap in training capability. The Government will own naming rights for this system if a name change is required for the effort.

The Contractor shall upgrade the 36 COFT-M-SAs to a precision gunnery trainer for the crew of the Abrams M1A1 Situational Awareness (SA) and the M1A2 System Enhancement Package (SEP) Version (v.) 2 combat systems, using a precision gunnery training matrix based on the gunnery manual TC 3-20.31 Crew Training and Qualification. The Contractor shall ensure the training programs are developed in collaboration with ARNG Subject Matter Experts (SME’s), and provide integrated training for the commander, gunner, and loader crew positions. The Contractor shall ensure the systems include an Instructor/Operator Station, Commander, Gunner and Loader Stations. The Commander, Gunner and Loader Stations shall include displays, controls, and indicators that replicate the physical appearance and functional capabilities of the Abrams tank. The Contractor shall ensure these capabilities are sufficient to perform all COFT-M-SA GTLF exercises.

The Contractor shall use the Abrams Common Software Library (ACSL) software used on all M1A2 SEP V2 systems. The contractor shall provide the Windows 10 Operating System, with the Trusted Platform Module 2.0 encryption chip on all system computers.

The Contractor shall ensure the COFT-M-SA remains modular for easy transportability, and have the ability to produce and accept removable media (CD-ROM) for ease of creating and removing crews, crew records, and new crew member training. The Contractor shall deliver and install COFT-M-SA systems with crew training capabilities.

The Contractor shall include technical and training documentation, installation, processing, and acceptance.

1.2 Background: The ARNG’s COFT-M-SA fleet currently consists of 36 systems. In March 2015, an ARNG Council of Colonels approved the upgrade of 36 systems to fulfill the ARNG’s training strategy requirement. Thus, the objective of this procurement is to upgrade and field 36 systems to current gunnery requirements illustrated in TC 3-

20.31, and in addition 13 of these systems shall be upgraded to the M1A2 SEP V2 platform.

The issuance of a CAC will be based on four criteria; (a) eligibility for a CAC; (b) verification of DOD affiliation from an authoritative data source; (c) completion of background vetting requirements according to the Federal Information Processing Standards Publication 201-1, Personal Identity Verification (PIV) of Federal Employees and Contractors, March 2006, and DOD Regulation 5200.2-R, Department of Defense Personnel Security Program, January 1987, and (d) verification of a claimed identity.

It is the responsibility of the Contractor to ensure that all employees requiring an initial background investigation complete a Personnel Security Investigation Portal (PSIP) form at the earliest possible date and that this form is forwarded to the COR immediately. The COR will review the form for completeness and accuracy and forward to the NGB Personnel Security manager who will initiate the investigation process via the PSIP. Contractor personnel will then receive two e-mail messages; the first will confirm that the request has been received by the Office of Personnel Management, and the second will provide instructions for the completion of the appropriate form via the Electronic Questionnaires for Investigations Processing (e- QIP) system. Upon completion of the e-QIP questionnaire and submittal of all required documents, including fingerprint card to the security manager, the Background Investigation (BI) will be initiated. The Contractor shall ensure all instructions regarding background investigation processing, including those provided verbally, by e-mail or via a Government system are complied with immediately. The Contractor is cautioned that the entire process from submittal of the PSIP form to return of the FBI fingerprint check may routinely take from 2-6 weeks and shall factor this lead time into its hiring/placement process. The Contractor shall make all reasonable efforts to ensure that Contractor employees meet CAC eligibility standards upon assignment to the contract and shall be held responsible for delays, failure to meet performance requirements or decreases in efficiency in accordance with the applicable inspection clause.

The norm is at least ten calendar days advance notice to the Trusted Agent (TA), unless there are extenuating circumstances approved by the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) or Contracting Officer.

The Contractor shall obtain an Army Knowledge Online (AKO) email address for each applicant, including Sub-Contractors, who may be deployed or require logical access to a Government computer network. This can be done by going to:

http://www.us.army.mil and register as an "Army Guest," with the sponsor being the COR or a COR designated individual if the COR is ineligible to serve as an AKO Sponsor. Note: If an employee of a Contractor loses the privilege to access AKO, they lose the ability to renew their CAC. Therefore, it is critical that Contractor employees maintain their AKO accounts.

http://www.us.army.mil/

It is recommend that a "Corporate Facility Security Officer" (FSO) be designated to serve as your firm's single point of contact for BI, the TASS application process and other CAC and security related matters. If a FSO is not established, each Contractor employee requiring a CAC will be required to process their own applications.

CAC applications shall be processed through the TASS. The Contractor's FSO or Contractor employee shall submit requests for a CAC via email to the designated TASS TA before accessing the TASS website. The TASS TA for this requirement will be:

*Rejected. The Government, in separate correspondence, will provide reason(s) for rejection.

*Returned. Additional information or correction to the application required by the Contractor employee.

*The Contractor shall maintain records of all approved and rejected applications.

At the RAPIDS station, the RAPIDS Verification Officer will verify the Contractor by SSN and two forms of identification. Identity source Documents must come from the list of acceptable documents included in Form I-9, OMB No. 115-0136, "Employment Eligibility Verification." Consistent with applicable law, at least one document from the Form I-9 list shall be a valid (unexpired) State or Federal Government-issued picture identification (ID).
