1. Background. Per the US Marine Corps 36th Commandant’s Planning Guidance: “We will review our plan for live, virtual, and constructive training across the Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF). We will particularly focus on better leveraging of modern immersive training and simulation technologies. We will prioritize the fielding of capabilities that support MAGTF integration. We will continue to support the fielding of systems that enhance our proficiency and safety in operating weapons and equipment. Our investment in training systems will reflect the priority we place on preparing for combat and be fully integrated with training and readiness standards.” TECOM requires contracted support to assist in this effort.

2. Scope of Work. The Contractor shall: (1) Support Training Management Teams (TMT) to identify, modify, or create training standards that can be achieved via existing simulators/simulations or new technologies; (2) analyze effectiveness of simulators/simulations utilization at Training and Education Support Centers (TSCs); and (3) assist in the development and/or revision of Marine Corps policy to reflect the integration of simulators/simulations into training.

3. General Requirements.

3.1. Facilities and Travel Requirements. Primary place of service will be TECOM, Daly Hall Building 2079 Quantico, VA. 22134. Co-location of contractors and government personnel is essential as required tasks demand daily coordination with TECOM leadership and divisions. Information exchanges must occur on a regular and timely basis and will be inhibited without co-location in government spaces. Government network access is required for document reviews, not available out of network. Travel is anticipated in support of this requirement. Travel authorized in direct support of the requirements identified within the task order shall be conducted in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR), including FAR Part 31, and consistent with the limits in the Joint Travel Regulations (JTRs). Travel authorization requires approval of the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR), in writing, prior to incurring costs. Travel shall be reconciled monthly and reported to the COR prior to invoicing. Costs incurred without authorization will not be reimbursed.

3.2. Security. The Contractor will not require direct access to any secure data systems or materials in support of this contract. The information provided to the Contractor will be unclassified and/or sensitive unclassified information. The Contractor is not required or expected to have a Facility Clearance and Contractor personnel supporting this effort are not required to possess Personnel Clearance Levels. Contractor personnel requiring access to U.S. Government sensitive unclassified information shall possess a completed background investigation (minimum of a National Agency Check with Inquiries (NACI)) for this Public Trust Position. Common Access Cards (CACs) will only be issued to those Contractors personnel that have been authorized by the COR. The COR will only authorize CACs for those Contractors personnel that meet current Homeland Security Presidential Directive – 12 (HSPD-12) criteria and have a definitive requirement. CACs are not issued for convenience. A Government CAC is required for the performance of this requirement.

3.3. Execution Management. The Contractor shall provide the necessary resources and infrastructure to manage and administer this contract. The Contractor shall establish processes and assign appropriate management and support resources to administer the resulting contract and to interface with the government’s Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR). This shall include management of the contract, staffing actions, finance, and government interface with TECOM staff.

The Government shall 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. It shall be the Contractor’s responsibility to supervise its employees and guard against any actions that could be characterized as personal services, or convey the perception that personal services are being delivered. 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 Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO).

3.4 Technical Performance Quality. The Contractor shall be responsible for establishing a staff complement capable of handling the responsibilities of contract execution as defined in the PWS. The contractor is responsible for all assigned resources, performance quality (e.g., Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) compliance), and deliverables associated with the contract.

3.5. Government Responsibilities and Interface. The COR will have technical oversight and will execute responsibilities related to performance, deliverables acceptance, invoice certification, and coordination of work effort. The Regional Contracting Office (RCO) Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) will interface with the Prime Contractor’s representative for payment and administration issues.

3.6. Applicable References. The Contractor shall use the below references as a guide to the extent necessary to accomplish the tasks as stated in this BPA Call. If during the execution of the BPA call the Government uncovers the need for additional references or changes to cited references, the Government will provide these to the Contractor.
