PWS

CHEMICAL BIOLOGICAL INCIDENT RESPONSE FORCE (CBIRF)

TRAINING SUPPORT SERVICES (TSS)

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

1. General

The primary objective of this acquisition is to provide specialized training and to allow personnel to obtain the certifications needed to be mission ready and respond to an emergency in the event of a chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, or high yield explosive (CBRNE) attack in the National Capital Region (NCR) or Continental

United States.

This is a non-personnel services contract to provide Training Support Services to Chemical Biological Incident

Response Force (CBIRF). The Government will not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. Such contract service providers will be accountable solely to the

Contractor who, in turn, is responsible to the Government.

1.1 Background

CBIRF is a one-of-a-kind organization of approximately 500 Marines, Sailors, and civilians with a complex mission that requires highly specialized training. This specialized training exceeds the training given to a service member in any of the more than 40 military occupational specialties (MOS) that comprise the unit. Members must be trained once assigned to CBIRF per NAVMC 3500.29B Chemical Biological Incident Response Force (CBIRF) Training and Readiness Manual (T&R)

1.2 Mission

CBIRF’s mission is as follows: To forward-deploy and/or respond with minimal warning to a chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, or high yield explosive (CBRNE) threat or event in order to assist local, state, or federal agencies and the geographic combatant commanders in the conduct of CBRNE response or consequence management operations. CBIRF will provide capabilities for command and control; agent detection and identification; search, rescue, and decontamination; and emergency medical care for contaminated personnel.

1.2.1 To support this mission, every Marine and Sailor is required to complete a resident fifteen-day CBIRF

Basic Operations Course (CBOC) at CBIRF’s training center followed by an annual CBOC Refresher Course, and annual advanced training in specialty areas. Additionally, CBIRF must conduct unit level and company level exercises each year to ensure mission readiness. Many of these exercises are conducted as part of the United States

Northern Command’s (NORTHCOM) annual training plan for the Defense CBRNE Response Enterprise (CRE), or support readiness to NORTHCOM operational plans.

1.3 Core Competency Sustainment Training

CBIRF’s basic unit of employment is the Initial Response Force (IRF). Consisting of roughly 122 personnel and roughly a 15-member IRF Command Element (ICE) with an estimated 32-vehicle support, the IRF is comprised of a variety of sections each of which requires familiarity with its specialized skill set as well as the overall CBIRF mission. In order to meet all requirements in a variety of crisis response scenarios, CBIRF sections require basic and advanced training in their respective core competencies. This understanding will allow the sections to operate as part of an IRF or allow them to be detached from the IRF to execute specific missions in support of crisis response operations.

Accordingly, the sections must be provided initial and follow-on training to ensure proficiency in CBIRF’s capabilities and mission sets as well as meeting the training and readiness standards for their respective section. This training must ensure the section is capable of operating in a variety of interagency and/or interdepartmental command and control configurations in support of local, state, and federal agencies as well as the geographic combatant commanders.

The contractor will provide training for all identified requirements within this PWS for CBIRF’s section and their personnel to respond to a crisis in a CBRNE contaminated environment. In order to perform these tasks, the IRF trains to the following core competencies: command and control, agent detection and identification, search and extraction, technical rescue, decontamination, emergency medical care, and explosive ordinance disposal. CBIRF’s

Mission Essential Tasks are:

- Deploy Forces/Conduct Maneuver

- Conduct Crisis Response

- Perform Consequence Management

- Conduct Operations in a Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear Hazard Environment

1.4 Individual Sustainment and Advanced Training

CBIRF, as a one of kind unit, has multiple training responsibilities that exceed those of a typical unit; this is because there is no military occupational specialty (MOS) producing school that trains to CBIRF individual training and readiness standards. Accordingly, Marine Corps Training and Education Command (TECOM) publishes a CBIRF specific Training and Readiness Manual, NAVMC 3500.29B CBIRF T&R, which prescribes individual and collective training standards. Further, CBIRF must train and qualify its individual personnel to appropriate federal and state regulations per CBIRFO 1500.1A Ch. 1. Finally, CBIRF must sustain basic MOS individual training standards and MOS progression for over 40 MOSs in the unit. All CBIRF personnel will be trained in a wide variety of tasks under various types of conditions in order to enable them to conduct operations in a crisis, likely in a

CBRNE contaminated environment. This training must ensure each individual is capable of responding to a variety of CBRNE crisis response scenarios in support of local, state, and federal agencies as well as the geographic combatant commanders. The Contractor will complete all standards set forth in NAVMC 3500.29B CBIRF T&R in order to train CBIRF’s military and civilian personnel to respond to a crisis in a CBRNE contaminated environment.

1.5 Quality Assurance

The Government will measure the contractor’s performance under this contract in accordance with the Quality

Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP). The focus of this plan is on what the Government must do to ensure that the contractor has performed in accordance with the performance standards. It defines how the performance standards will be applied, the frequency of surveillance, and the minimum acceptable defect rate(s).

1.6 Principal Operation Support Areas

Principal support operations will occur at various venues, see Section 3, Objective 4.

1.7 Period of Performance

The contract will include a five year ordering period plus the FAR 52.217-8 clause to extend services.

Delivery periods for non-severable requirements will be defined at the task order level.

1.8 Federal Holidays

The Contractor may be required to perform services on holidays as mission dictates. Such holidays are:

New Year’s Day Labor Day

Martin Luther King Jr.’s Birthday Columbus Day

President’s Day Veteran’s Day

Memorial Day Thanksgiving Day

Independence Day Christmas Day

1.9 Hours of Operation

The contractor is responsible for conducting business between the hours of 0800 and 1700 Monday thru Friday except Federal holidays or when the Government facility is closed due to local or national emergencies, administrative closings, or similar Government directed facility closings.

Exercises, operations, and surge demand may require additional hours. The Contractor must maintain an adequate workforce for the uninterrupted performance of all tasks defined within this PWS when the Government facility is not closed for any of the above reasons. When hiring personnel, the Contractor shall keep in mind that the stability and continuity of the workforce are crucial for uninterrupted services.

1.10 Security Requirements

Contractor’s key personnel are required to have a Secret security clearance. Overarching security requirements shall be as specified in the DoD Contract Security Requirements List (DD Form 254). All contractors providing a capability that requires a security clearance must obtain sufficient clearance to access materials designated “Secret” prior to obtaining applicable classified materials for training support.

1.11 Common Access Card (CAC)

All contractors assigned to work aboard Naval Support Facility (NSF) Indian Head, associated with Stump Neck

Annex, or required to access systems on the Marine Corps Enterprise Network (MCEN) will coordinate with CBIRF

Contracting Officer Representative (COR) in order to begin appropriate request to obtain a Common Access Card

(CAC). Upon award of the contract, the Field Security Office (FSO) will coordinate with the COR of the contract and provide a list of all contractors (Name, SSN, date of birth and an email address) assigned to work on this contract.

All CACs are scanned upon entry to all Naval Support Activity South Potomac facilities (including NSF Indian

Head and Stump Neck Annex) to ensure there are no wants or warrants resident in the Federal Bureau of

Investigation’s National Criminal Information Center’s Wanted Person Files. Personnel that have outstanding issues will be denied access to the NSASP facilities.

1.12 Identification of Contractor or Contracted Employees

All contracted personnel attending meetings in Government space, answering Government telephones, and working in other situations where their contractor status is not obvious to third parties are required to identify themselves as such to avoid creating an impression in the minds of members of the public that they are Government employees/officials. Contracted personnel are also required to ensure that all documents or reports produced by contractor personnel are appropriately marked so that contractor participation is appropriately disclosed. All

Contractor personnel are required to wear identifying markers or badges on their clothing.

1.13 Organizational Conflict of Interest

Contractor and subcontractor personnel performing work under this contract may receive have access to or participate in the development of proprietary information (e.g., cost or pricing information, budget information or analyses, specifications or work statements, etc.) which may create a current or subsequent Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI) as defined in FAR Subpart 9.5. The Contractor will notify the Contracting Officer immediately whenever it becomes aware that such access or participation may result in any actual or potential OCI and will promptly submit a plan to the Contracting Officer to avoid or mitigate any such OCI.

The Contractor’s mitigation plan will be determined to be acceptable solely at the discretion of the Contracting

Officer. In the event the Contracting Officer unilaterally determines that any such OCI cannot be satisfactorily avoided or mitigated, the Contracting Officer may affect other remedies as he or she deems necessary, including prohibiting the Contractor from participation in subsequent contracted requirements that may be affected by the

OCI.

1.14 Exposure to Chemical Warfare Agents/Toxic Industrial Chemicals and Radiation

Occasionally training will involve live radiological sources. These sources will emit actual radiation detectable by equipment in order to increase the realism of the training. The contractor and the government may only expose contractor personnel to live radiation at approved training venues identified during concept development of the applicable training or exercise, and after a radiation safety plan has been issued. Contractor personnel are required to be monitored by a viable radiological monitoring program and attend and pass all required safety briefs directed by the Contractor and the government. The Contractor must be in compliance with appropriate OSHA standards governing radiation dosage rates and max accumulations.

Maximum exposure limits of 0.2 rem, (200 mrem) will not be exceeded at any time by Contractor or Government during training, and will not exceed maximum yearly dose of 0.5 rem (500 mrem). The Government will provide the

Contractor training team with the requisite dosimetry monitoring equipment and the Contractor will follow all applicable reporting requirements.

Occasionally, training environments will involve live chemical warfare agents (CWA), riot control agents, chemical warfare agent simulants, toxic industrial chemicals (TICs), and biological simulants. Prior to any exposure required protocol review, review by CBIRF's Industrial Hygienists, Senior Scientist, and CBRN Officer, and approval by the

CBIRF Commanding Officer is required. Contractor personnel participating in any training where exposure to chemical agents is anticipated will receive a unique safety briefing and acknowledge in writing the necessary safety requirements prior to any exposure. Prior to any exposure, all respiratory protection equipment will be inspected/tested and approved by CBIRF CBRN personnel. All personal protective equipment (PPE) will be inspected prior to use. After any chemical agent exposure, Contractor personnel will receive a one-page briefing sheet that describes symptoms of exposure, and what to do if symptoms develop. All Contractor personnel will be required to provide proof of the successful completion of a Hazardous Waste Physical including a Respiratory

Physical per 29 CFR 1910 before any exposure is authorized.

1.15 Emergency Preparedness Services / Force Preservation

The Contractor shall ensure emergency preparedness services are available to respond to the training facility for the duration of training exercises. Emergency preparedness services include, but are not limited to, ambulance service, fire fighters, etc. For the Capstone exercise, O2.T1 of this PWS, the venue for training will have active physical security measures in place, these include:

1.15.1 Perimeter fence that prevents access or entry onto the site.

1.15.2 Limited, gated entry that is manned by a person or persons for the purpose of restricting access onto the training site to those participating in the training and designated by Government and Contractor as essential to the Capstone Exercise.

1.15.3 Billeting and equipment staging areas for non-vehicle mounted equipment that can be secured with controlled access limited to Government personnel and Contractors designated as exercise support of the applicable task order on an access roster provided by the Government with input from the contractor.
