PART 1

General Information

1. General: This is a non-personal services contract to provide maintenance and administration of certain climate survey programs.

PWS. The Contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract.

1.2 Background: The Marine Corps has a requirement to continue the maintenance and administration of certain climate survey programs. Completing a required climate survey constitutes the minimum acceptable standard for satisfying this requirement. These include the Marine Corps on-line Ground

Climate Assessment Survey System (GCASS), the Marine Corps Aviation Climate Assessment Survey

System (MCASS), and Command Climate Survey (CCS). Within these Survey Systems, there shall exist the capability to conduct short-term or ad-hoc surveys based on specific needs of Marine Corps leadership. Safety climate surveys and culture workshops are valuable tools for receiving feedback from the members of the unit.

1.2.1 The GCASS includes eleven surveys:

• Administrative Support Personnel Assessment (ASPA);

• Private Motor Vehicle (PMV) survey;

• Motorcycle (MTRCYCL) survey;

1.2.1.1 Commanders at all levels use GCASS surveys to assess the safety climate of their commands.

Commanders use the GCA survey within 90 days of assuming command and can use other surveys at any time, as they deem appropriate. Within 14 days of receiving their survey/assessment results, Commanding Officers (CO) and Officers in Charge shall verbally debrief their Higher Headquarters on their: Ground Climate Assessment Survey (GCAS); Command Safety Assessment (CSA); Maintenance

Climate Assessment Survey (MCAS); and the Administrative Support Personnel Assessment (ASPA).

Aviation and Ground Culture Workshops are exempt from this debriefing requirement. Access GCASS surveys through https://semperfisurveys.org.

1.2.2 The MCASS as structured includes thirteen surveys:

• Command Safety Assessment (CSA) Survey;

• Maintenance Climate Assessment Survey (MCAS);

• Administrative Support Personnel Assessment (ASPA) (See PWS section 1.3);

• Contractor Maintenance Survey (CTR);

• Higher Headquarters Survey (HHQ) (See PWS section 1.3);

• Drinking and Driving Survey (D&D) (See PWS section 1.3);

• Off Duty and Recreational Activity Survey (OD&R) (See PWS section 1.3);

• Private Motor Vehicle Survey (PMV) (See PWS section 1.3);

• Motorcycle Safety Survey (MTRCYCL) (See PWS section 1.3);

• Air Traffic Control Survey (ATC);

• Hazing Survey (See PWS section 1.3);

• Master Labor Contract and Indirect Hire Agreement (MLC/IHA) Safety Survey (See PWS section 1.3); and

• Higher Headquarters (HHQ) survey (See PWS section 1.5)

1.2.2.1 Commanders of all flying, Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS), Marine Aircraft Logistics

Squadron (MALS), and aviation detachments use MCASS surveys. Commanders shall complete a survey to assess their command climate within 30 days following a change of command in order to establish a

30-day baseline for the new commander. Commanders can use other surveys at any time, as they deem appropriate. Units access MCASS surveys through MarineAviationSurveys.com.

1.3 Eight of the surveys identified in PWS 1.2.2 for all flying units are offered only under the GCASS.

1.4 Higher Headquarters (HHQ) survey. Commanders of Marine Forces Command; Marine Forces

Pacific; Marine Forces Reserves; Marine Forces Special Operations Command; Marine Corps Combat

Development Command; Marine Corps Logistics Command; Marine Corps Systems Command; Marine

Corps Recruiting Command; Marine Corps Cyber Command; Marine Corps Installations Command;

Marine Expeditionary Forces; Marine Expeditionary Brigades; Marine Expeditionary Units; Marine

Divisions; Marine Aircraft Wings; Marine Aircraft Groups; Marine Logistics Groups; and Marine regiments shall complete the HHQ survey within 90 days following a change of command and annually thereafter.

1.5 Ad Hoc Surveys are consistent in size and form to the surveys as mentioned above. Specifically, they are tailored to address concerns or areas of interest and typically are offered to a limited command or group of commands. The Contractor shall have the capability to design and execute Ad Hoc surveys as directed under the Contract. Ad-Hoc Surveys may be accessed under GCASS, MCASS, or CCS depending on the specific subject matter of the survey.

1.6 Objectives: The Contractor shall provide maintenance and administration of the online Marine safety climate assessment program
