PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

FOR

TRAINING AND EDUCATION COMMAND (TECOM)

AVIATION TRAINING SYSTEM (ATS) SUPPORT SERVICES

1.0 Background.

1.1. Aviation Training System (ATS) is the overarching aviation training structure which integrates and coordinates policy, manpower, equipment, and fiscal requirements of post initial accession training for

Marine aviators, aircrew, maintainers, and ground support personnel. ATS was established to organize and coordinate efforts to develop a completely integrated training system across Marine Aviation which provides the Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) with combat ready units while managing associated training costs. In the past, weapons platforms fielded stove-piped training systems and devices that were loosely tied to Training and Readiness (T&R). Simulator utilization was low because they were often out of concurrency with the operational systems (e.g., aircraft) and were a low priority to get upgraded. With Department of Defense (DoD) mandates circa 2005, Marine Aviation implemented an

Aviation Training System Transformation Task Force to modernize our processes and integrate our training systems to provide on time delivery of tactically relevant training systems. As Marine Aviation transitions to newer aircraft platforms and equipment (e.g., AH-1Z, F-35B, F-35C, CH-53K, Unmanned

Aerial Systems [UAS], the Common Aviation Command and Control System [CAC2S], Marine Air

Defense Integrated System [MADIS], and the Ground/Air Task Oriented Radar [G/ATOR]); there exists a bona fide need to execute a transformation in requirements traceability. That traceability is tied directly to the T&R manual events identified to be accomplished in networked simulation, how and why training systems are funded, built, utilized and managed. Transformation in T&R interdependencies is occurring that is drastically re-defining networked simulation requirements. The manner in which training systems are funded, developed, utilized, managed, and upgraded – leveraging advances in technology – must evolve as well in order to effectively train individual Marines and units. As the Aviation Distributed

Virtual Training Environment (ADVTE) is further developed and implemented, the requirement for

MAGTF-level simulation will continue to expand and will require a coordinated effort within the ATS to incorporate a fully integrated and holistic MATGF training environment.

2.0 Scope of Work.

2.1 TECOM, Aviation Standards Branch (ASB), is responsible for the management oversight, coordination, and execution of the ATS which includes 1) analysis, development, evaluation, and review of the T&R standards applicable to specific Aviation Military Occupational Specialties (MOS); and 2) maintenance and updates of the Core Competency Resource Model (CCRM). ASB is currently responsible for management and coordination of Marine Corps Aviation’s simulation assets and their respective training requirements. However, that responsibility is shifting in coordination with future force designs. The simulation assets are distributed across Marine Aviation Training System Sites (MATSS), which are located aboard each Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) (3.1). The ATS facilitates training to: 1) optimize simulator and academic resource utilization; 2) promote Standardization and Evaluation; and 3) advocate ATS training shortfalls on behalf of the fleet in order to ensure ATS remains responsive to the needs of the fleet.

2.2 The Contractor shall provide technical services and support for ASB in support of its execution of the

Marine Corps’ ATS. Contractor support shall be within the context of daily operations (military flight training scheduling/simulation, training support documentation, and other efforts requiring military and military training operations expertise). These actions may include the collection and management of information and data, conduct of assessments and analysis, participation in information and planning meetings, liaison with training centers (e.g., Training Support Centers, Battalion Simulation Centers, and formal schoolhouses). Additionally, the need for periodic briefings and reports necessary to support the following tasks: technical and analytical support (TAS), training and readiness (T&R) development, Core

Competency Resource Model (CCRM) support, MATSS support, and Program Management (PM).

3.0 General Requirements.

3.1 Non-Personal Services. The Government will neither supervise Contractor employees nor control the method by which the Contractor performs the required tasks. Under no circumstances shall the

Government assign tasks to, or prepare work schedules for, individual Contractor employees. If the

Contractor believes that any actions constitute, or are perceived to constitute personal services, it shall be the Contractor’s responsibility to immediately notify the Contracting Officer (KO).

3.2 Security and Clearances.

3.2.1 Clearances. Security clearances are required at the below designated locations. A Department of

Defense (DoD) Contract Security Classification Specification (DD 254) (Attachment 1) detailing the security requirements will be executed to support security measures in place and applicable to performance of tasks. Contractor personnel must have at a minimum a secret security clearance.

Contractor personnel located at MATSS Iwakuni, Japan; MATSS Miramar, CA; MATSS Yuma, AZ;

MATSS Beaufort, SC; MATSS Cherry Point, NC must have Top Secret clearances for the purpose of facilities access. The Contractor will not require direct access to any secure data systems but may require access to secure spaces. The Contractor must have all requisite clearances NLT sixty (60) days after contract award (CA).

3.2.2 Contractor employees performing on this contract will require Common Access Cards (CACs) in order to perform their job function. In accordance with Headquarters, United States Marine Corps

(HQMC) issued guidance relative to Homeland Security Presidential Directive – 12 (HSPD-12), all personnel must meet eligibility criteria to be issued a CAC. In order to meet the eligibility criteria, all

Contractor employees must be accurately populated in the Defense Information System for Security

(DISS) under their respective Commercial and Government Entity Code (CAGE) Code. Each Contractor employee’s JPAS record must also reflect a favorably adjudicated Personnel Security Investigation (PSI) or (at a minimum) that a PSI has been submitted and accepted (opened.) If a contractor employee’s open investigation closes and is not favorably adjudicated, the CAC must be immediately surrendered/retrieved and revoked. Facility Security Officers are responsible for notifying the TECOM Security Director if any

Contractor performing on this contract receives an unfavorable adjudication after being issued a CAC.

Contractor CACs are issued with a “ctr.usmc.mil” e-mail account that the individual Contractor is responsible to keep active by logging in on a regular basis (at least twice a month), sending an e-mail and clearing any unneeded e-mails. Contractors are prohibited from “auto-forwarding” their .mil e-mail account to their .com or any other e-mail/item account. CACs will only be issued to those Contractors supporting this contract that have been authorized by the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR).

The COR will only authorize CACs for those Contractors that meet current HSPD-12 criteria and have a definitive requirement. CACs are not issued for convenience.

3.3 Work Location(s). Efforts in support of ATS will be accomplished at the following locations. Work may be performed off site pending coordination with the COR. Marine Corps Air Stations (MCAS) are located both in the Continental United States (CONUS) and outside (OCONUS) (e.g., Iwakuni and

Okinawa, Japan).

3.4 Execution Management. At all times, the Contractor shall be responsible for the actions of its teaming partners and subcontractors. The Contractor must notify the COR of the use of any subcontractors. At no time shall any information be subcontracted, farmed, reviewed, analyzed, or processed by any company owned or operated by a foreign nation, or by personnel that are foreign nationals. All labor is to be performed by U.S. owned and operated Contractors and their subcontractors must also be U.S. owned and operated. The prime Contractor shall inform all subcontractors of this limitation and requirement.

3.5 Technical Performance Quality. The Contractor shall develop a Quality Management Plan (QMP) as a means for gauging overall effectiveness of performance. The Contractor shall provide their QMP to the

COR within thirty (30) days of award. Deliverable: Quality Management Plan (Deliverable 0001). The

3.8.5 Travel Reimbursement

3.8.5.1 The Contractor shall adhere to FAR 31.205-46. Travel costs will be priced separately and funded by the Government on a cost reimbursable basis at the Contract Line Item Number/ Sub-Line Item

Number (CLIN/SLIN) level. No fee shall be applied. The Contractor will not be reimbursed for travel expenses unless audited records for transportation contain evidence, such as original receipts, substantiating actual expenses incurred for travel. Local travel (50 miles radius from assigned place of performance) will not be covered under this contract as a travel cost transaction and the Government will not pay for commuting to/from the normal workplace (even if outside of the 50 miles radius and commuting regularly). Travel reimbursement is limited to travel during performance of the contract.

Travel reimbursement does not include relocation expenses for Contractor employees prior to their start of performance on this contract.

3.8.5.2 The contract includes a not-to-exceed funding limitation for travel costs. When the Contractor expects total funding expended for reimbursable travel to reach 85 percent of the total funds available on the travel CLIN, the Contractor shall notify the KO and the COR and any other Government official identified by the KO. The notice shall state the estimated amount of additional funds required to continue performance for the period specified in the contract. The Contractor shall not exceed or incur costs that exceed the amount of funding stated on the reimbursable travel CLIN. The Government is not obligated to reimburse the Contractor for otherwise reimbursable travel in excess of the funded amount stated on the reimbursable travel CLIN.

3.8.5.3 The Contractor is not obligated to continue performance of any reimbursable work under this contract or otherwise incur costs for reimbursable travel in excess of the funded amount stated on the reimbursable travel CLIN unless the KO notifies the Contractor in writing that the funded amount stated under the applicable reimbursable travel CLIN has been increased. In the event notification is made orally, such notification shall be followed up in writing within two working days.

3.8.5.4 Change orders shall not be considered an authorization to exceed the funded amount stated under the reimbursable travel CLIN unless they contain a statement expressly increasing the funded amount of that reimbursable CLIN by a sufficient amount to cover the change order.

4.0 Specific Requirements. The Contractor shall provide technical, analytical, and program management services in support of the Marine Corps’ ATS.

4.1. Task 1: Technical & Analytical Support. The Contractor shall utilize web-based/enabled methods
