PERFORMANCE WORK STATMENT

Performance Work Statement in Support of Capabilities Development Directorate for Technical and

Operational Support Services (TOSS)

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The scope of this effort includes provisions for technical, analytical, engineering, subject matter expertise, administrative support, and capability portfolio management (CPM) support to the Director, Capabilities

Development Directorate (CDD), as well as the Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory (MCWL), and Deputy

Commandant for Combat Development and Integration (DC CD&I). Critical capabilities within this effort include the development of comprehensive Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS) and Business

Capability Acquisition Cycle documents, as well as analysis of existing capabilities to define capability requirements, capability gaps, and solutions to provide those capabilities. This effort will support both recurring and ad hoc requirements to provide Capabilities Planning assessment components (Capabilities Analysis, Gap Analysis, Solutions Analysis, and Risk Analysis) and conduct assessments of current and future readiness metrics, via development of Mission Essential Tasks and training and education standards development. MCWL requires dedicated support respective to subordinate divisions and staff sections or across one or more elements of the command. Supported elements include the government’s staff sections (e.g. G-1, G-4, G-6) or “G-codes” and executing divisions. Performance areas include both overarching and Division-centric support areas that will be delineated by individual task orders.

1.1 COMMAND’S MISSION

CDD supports the DC, CD&I by developing and integrating capabilities solutions enabling an effective Marine

Corps capability to respond to strategic challenges and opportunities. CDD provides subject matter experts in the areas of: Command and Control/Information Warfare, Fires, Maneuver, Force Protection, Intelligence, Logistics, Expeditionary Energy, (MAGTF) Integration/Total Force Structure, Aviation, Maritime Expeditionary Warfare, Defense Business Capabilities, Capabilities Portfolio Management and Operations. In consideration of overarching national strategic and service guidance and concepts development, the Directorate will conduct analysis across the complete spectrum of Doctrine, Organization, Training, Materiel, Leadership, Personnel, Facilities, and Policy

(DOTMLPF-P). The identification of Enterprise-wide capabilities, gaps, capability excesses, solutions, and risk areas is incorporated into the development of a capabilities plan and other capabilities development documents (i.e.

JCIDS and Business Capability Acquisition Cycle (BCAC)), and the management of Universal Need Statements

(UNS), requiring vigilant and dedicated coordination by subject matter experts supported by a business infrastructure with which to further capabilities development from concept to acquisition and fielding.

MCWL’s mission is to identify future challenges and opportunities, develop warfighting concepts, and comprehensively explore options to inform the combat development process and to meet the challenges of the future operating environment on behalf of the DC CD&I. MCWL was created in 1995 and from inception evolved with a focus on experimentation and a broader mandate to develop the future vision and mapping of future capabilities of the Marine Corps through the use of research in technologies, development of concepts, experimentation, and wargaming. It does this by analyzing the future operating environment and seeking out opportunities to innovate, experiment, and wargame emerging concepts and Doctrine, Organization, Training, Material, Leadership and

Education, Personnel and Facilities (DOTMLPF) solutions to enhance Marine Corps readiness and relevance through operational success.

2.0 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

Requirements for task orders under the resulting contract will specify performance criteria based upon individual customer needs, timelines, and system-specific objectives. The following is a list of general requirements that will be common to all task orders irrespective of the technical priorities:

2.1 Work Location: For CDD’s task order support, the preponderance of work will be at the contractor site. Any work done at the Government site will be done on a temporary (not as a full-time) place of performance. The

Contractor is required to possess all facilities, equipment, applications, and related infrastructure required to support their technical and management operations. However, if space is available and both the Government and Contractor are agreeable, full-time on-site place of performance is possible. For MCWL’s support, performance will be predominantly at the supported Government site, as defined in the task order(s).

2.2 Travel and Related Travel Requirements:

2.2.1 Travel Cost: Government-directed travel will be reimbursed in accordance with (IAW) with FAR 31.205-46

(a) (2). Travel within the Continental United States (CONUS) will be subject to the Joint Travel Regulation. Any travel costs exceeding those allowed under Joint Travel Regulation will not be reimbursed. Travel outside the

Continental United States (OCONUS) will be subject to the Department of State Standardize Regulation (DSSR).

All OCONUS travel expenses that are allowable, allocable and accounted for shall be in accordance with the DSSR.

All reimbursable travel will be approved by the COR. Itemized receipts from travel must be maintained by the

Contractor and submitted to the COR or contracting officer with each associated invoice upon request. Travel will be required to support the various events outlined in the PWS.

Travel cost that is allowable and allocable to the task order will be covered as cost reimbursement, no fee bearing.

Costs shall be allowable only if the following information is documented and approved in advance: (i) Date and place (city, town, or other similar designation) of the expenses; (ii) Purpose of the trip; and (iii) Name of person on trip and that person’s title or relationship to the contractor. Only the Contractor’s actual substantiated costs shall be reimbursed. Receipts and any supporting documents shall be submitted when required. Costs incurred without authorization will not be reimbursed. Local travel, defined as within 50 miles of individual’s worksite, will not be reimbursed. Travel shall be reconciled monthly and reported to the COR prior to invoicing.

2.2.2 Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) and Synchronized Pre-deployment and Operational Tracker (SPOT): For travel Outside the Continental United States (OCONUS), the Code of Federal Regulations mandates contractor accountability in contingency areas through the use of the Synchronized Pre-deployment and Operational Tracker

(SPOT). The CFR covers a Title 10 requirement for common contractor databases. The Defense Federal Acquisition

Regulation Supplement requires contractor companies to use SPOT and contractor personnel to have a SPOT-generated letter of authorization (LOA) signed by the government’s contracting officer in order to process through a deployment center or to travel to, from, or within the operational area. The LOA specifies authorizations or government support that contractor personnel are entitled to under the contract.

https://www.acq.osd.mil/log/LOG_CSD/spot.html

In accordance with the Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA), the Government will register the contractor into the

Synchronized Pre-deployment and Operational Tracker (SPOT) system and obtain proper Letters of Authorizations

(LOA) when deemed necessary. The Prime is responsible for all subcontractors, as subcontractors cannot register in the SPOT system.
