Performance Work Statement for

Capabilities Based Assessment Support

1.0 Scope. The scope of this effort requires analytical and technical expertise to support the Capabilities Based Assessment (CBA) Branch, Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF) Integration Division (MID), Capabilities Development Directorate (CDD), Deputy Commandant Combat Development and Integration (DC CD&I) in the development of annual CBA products for the Marine Corps.

1.1 Background. The CDD supports DC CD&I by developing and integrating warfighting capabilities solutions and enabling an effective Marine Corps capability to respond to strategic challenges and opportunities. CDD provides resident expertise for capability integration in the areas of: Command and Control, Cyber and Electronic Warfare, Fires and Maneuver, Force Protection, Intelligence, Logistics, MAGTF, Seabasing, Small Wars and Irregular Warfare, and Total Force Structure. In consideration of overarching national strategic and service guidance and concepts development, CDD conducts analysis across the complete spectrum of Doctrine, Organizational, Training, Materiel, Leadership, Personnel, Facilities and Policy (DOTMLPF-P). The identification of capability gaps, excesses and risk areas impacting development of the Marine Corps Capability List (MCCL), Marine Corps Gap List (MCGL), Universal Needs Statements (UNS), and other capabilities development documents to include the Marine Corps Solution Development Directive (MCSDD) requires vigilant and dedicated coordination supported by a business infrastructure with which to further capability development from concept to acquisition and fielding.

The MID synchronizes capability development activities through the integration divisions and Total Force Structure Division (TFSD). The MID also convenes a Capabilities Development Integration Board (CDIB) on a routine basis consisting of O-6 level representatives to ensure that thorough MAGTF integration is achieved. The culmination of work and products results in the creation of a Marine Corps Enterprise Integration Plan (MCEIP) and in concert with Program Objective Memorandum guidance and other resource informing efforts further provides integrated Marine Corps capabilities approved by the Marine Corps Requirements Oversight Council (MROC). The MROC is the forum for obtaining senior level leadership guidance and approval as it applies to prioritization of desired warfighting capabilities and identification of requirement solutions.

The MID serves as the coordinating authority for integrating all Marine Corps capability development activities across Headquarters Marine Corps (HQMC), the operating forces (OPFOR), and the supporting establishment as related to capability portfolio management, the Marine Corps Capabilities Based Assessment (MCCBA), doctrine development and maintenance, the Deliberate and Urgent Needs Processes, and management and maintenance of the Marine Corps Task List (MCTL). The MID supports all operational architecture (OA) needs for CDD. Additionally, MID leads all Continuous Process Improvement activities within the CDD, to include management of the Force Development Core Value Stream.

2.0 General Requirements. Annual execution and support requirement of Marine Corps Capabilities Based Assessment (MC CBA) culminates with the production of the MCEIP, which is a consolidated summary of analysis from the MC CBA. MC CBA contents include: an analysis of strategic guidance and results of stakeholder participation in a MC CBA Wargame, identified Marine Corps capability requirements and capability gaps shortfalls and excesses, recommended solution strategies to eliminate or mitigate capability gaps, and an enterprise capability management plan that summarizes resourcing recommendations that are aligned to the Commandant’s strategic goals for the Marine Corps’ 10 year future objectives. Through the identification of the capabilities required by future Marine Corps forces, MC CBA establishes the point of departure for resource decision-making and timely delivery of capabilities to the Marine Corps Enterprise.

QASP

QUALITY ASSURANCE SURVEILLANCE PLAN

1. Objective. This Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) serves as the principal basis for assessing overall performance quality associated with the MCCDC CDD support services contract. This document will be used by the Government to assess the effectiveness of the Contractor’s quality with respect to management and technical services provided. This QASP provides the methodology by which the Contractor's performance will be monitored to determine compliance with established performance objectives and to establish performance benchmarks that ensure a quantifiable basis for measuring effectiveness. The plan is designed so that surveillance is limited to that which is necessary to verify the Contractor is performing management and technical services satisfactorily and relates directly to performance objectives of the performance objectives delineated in the PWS.

2. Government Surveillance. The MCCDC CDD COR will serve as the technical authority for this task, and her/his authority will be limited to administering specific technical aspects of the contract as set forth in Inspection And Acceptance Terms section of this RFP. The COR will not provide direction that is outside the scope of responsibilities delineated under this contract and will defer any conditional interpretations to the Contracting Officer. The COR will:

Maintain a detailed knowledge of the technical requirements of the contract;

Document Contractor performance in accordance with the QASP and the approved

Contractor's Quality Plan (QP);

Identify and immediately forward notifications of deficient, or non-compliant performance to the Contracting Officer;

Approve priorities of support, resources, and associated schedules.

3. Surveillance Methods. Surveillance of Contractor performance is the method used by the Government to determine whether the contractor is effectively and efficiently complying with all terms and conditions of the contract. In addition to statistical analysis, the functional expertise of the COR plays a critical role in adequately evaluating Contractor performance. The below listed methods of surveillance shall be used in the administration of this QASP and the standards are delineated by WBS element in the Performance Requirements Survey (PRS) table below.

Demonstration - A qualification method that is carried out by operation and relies on observable functional operation. It does not require the use of instrumentation or special test equipment;

Analysis. A qualification method that is carried out by examining and assessing the application of techniques in order to determine if they are appropriate and sufficient. The quality of performance can be determined from government or contractor task-based or Management Information System (MIS) reports, contractor ISO 9000 techniques and procedures, or from government observation of completed tasks. In some instances, reports may be available in the form of information on a contractor's performance against contract requirements. Reports generally provide information regarding various characteristics of tasks and can, therefore, be used to determine acceptability of a contractor's performance.

Inspections: A qualitative inspections can be accomplished through one of the following techniques:

Random or Stratified Sampling: With random sampling, services are sampled to determine if the level of performance is acceptable. Random sampling works best when the number of instances of the services being performed is very large and a statistically valid sample can be obtained. Stratified sampling focuses on selected parts of total contractor output for sampling.

Computer programs may be available to assist in establishing sampling procedures.

Periodic Inspection, Judgmental Inspection or Planned Sampling: This method, sometimes called "planned sampling, " consists of the evaluation of tasks selected on other than a 100% or random basis.

4. Performance Requirements. The performance requirements set forth in this section correspond to the material content cited in the PWS and the evaluation factors at Addendum To 52.212-2, Evaluation - Commercial Items – Evaluation Factors For Award section of this RFP.. Corresponding ratings will be generated for each of the weighted performance areas and aggregated monthly. The COR will track and reconcile performance with the Contractor's Program Manager, RCO Contracts staff, and Division Task Leads. This information will also be included in CPARs reports and offered in response to past performance assistance requests:

The criteria that will used to accomplish the evaluation ratings is derived from the RFP and from the elements of performance determined to be most influential to performance. The Contractor’s QP should address each of the respective areas. Using the criteria from the PRS task can be tailored using all, or some combination of the relevant performance characteristics. This allows for measuring performance at both the individual task level, as well as aggregating performance in the respective functional areas to assess trends.

1.9 If the Contractor takes any action prohibited by this requirement or fails to take action required by this requirement, the Government may terminate this contract for default.

1.10 The Contracting Officer's decision as to the existence or nonexistence of an actual or potential organizational conflict of interest shall be final.

1.11 The Contractor shall promptly notify the Contracting Officer, in writing, if it has been tasked to evaluate or advise the Government concerning its own products or activities or those of a competitor in order to ensure proper safeguards exist to guarantee objectivity and to protect the Government's interest.

1.12 The Contractor shall include this requirement in subcontracts of any tier which involve access to information or situations/conditions covered by the preceding paragraphs, substituting "subcontractor" for "contractor" where appropriate.

1.13 The rights and remedies described herein shall not be exclusive and are in addition to other rights and remedies provided by law or elsewhere included in this contract. Compliance with this requirement is a material requirement of this contract.

In accordance with FAR 9.505-4(b) a contractor that gains access to proprietary information of other companies in performing advisory and assistance services for the Government must agree with the other companies to protect their information from unauthorized use or disclosure for as long as it remains proprietary and refrain from using the information for any purpose other than that for which it was furnished.
