2.2.1 Equipment: The Contractor shall provide uniforms, Hi-Viz Camelbaks for High Risk Training, personal protective equipment (in accordance with range regulations), ground vehicle transportation, fuel, computers, printer and independent internet access for the Contractor’s personnel.

2.2.2 Operational Flexibility & Scheduling: The Contractor shall be capable of responding to an order for service or be prepared to mobilize personnel within seven (7) calendar days after receipt of service request or special instructions.

2.2.3 Conduct of High Risk Training: The Contractor shall execute training in accordance with established safety guidelines and directives. The Contractor is responsible for adhering to ORM guidelines and ensuring they review the ORM worksheet for each training evolution that is identified as HRT. During live fire evolutions in which the Contractor is taking an active role in training, the Contractor will attend safety briefs delivered by the Range Safety Officer (RSO).

The Contractor will be held to the same range standards as all users. Safety violations will not be tolerated and, depending on severity, may result in immediate dismissal from a training event and/or breach of contract.

2.2.4 Conducting Drug Screenings to ensure drug-free environment: The United States Marine Corps has zero tolerance for illegal drug use. Due to the fact that this contract revolves around the execution of HRT, it is imperative that the Contractor ensures the Government that it is actively taking steps to prevent, deter, and identify any cases of illegal drug use or unauthorized alcohol consumption. Specifically, the Contractor must:

(a) Conduct Urinalysis Screenings: All Contractor personnel must meet the requirements contained in DoD Instruction1010.09 (DoD Civilian Employees Drug Abuse Testing Program).

The Contractor is responsible for providing the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) with the general results of a Urinalysis Screening completed within 30 days prior to contractor personnel reporting for duty. The pre-employment urinalysis screening shall be conducted using an Enzyme Immunoassay (EIA) screening technique or equivalent. This process tests urine samples using an automated chemical analyzer. If the test produces a positive result, the urine sample should be retested. If the second test also produces a positive result, a Gas Chromatography or Mass Spectrometry test must be performed to identify the specific substance.

The Government reserves the right to request a new urinalysis screening on contractor personnel to determine fitness for duty. All urinalysis will be funded by the Contractor at no additional cost to the Government.

(b) Promote a Drug Free Environment: 1st EOTG periods of instruction are considered HRT. In order to ensure a safe training environment, the Government has a reasonable expectation for all contractors to be drug-free, as described in DoD Instruction 1010.09 (DoD Civilian Employees Drug Abuse Testing Program) at all times. Therefore, the Contractor is responsible for establishing internal procedures to ensure its employees are drug free. If the Government suspects a contractor employee is unfit to perform services, the 1st EOTG Branch OIC may relieve that employee from any HRT evolutions until such time as a medical service provider certifies the individual as fit for duty as outlined in BUMEDINST 6120.20B (Competence for Duty Examinations, Evaluations of Sobriety, and Other Bodily Views and Intrusions by Medical Personnel). This evaluation must be performed at Contractor’s expense.

(c) Alcohol Guidelines: The contractor shall not conduct any training while drunk or inebriated (defined as having a blood alcohol content (BAC) of .08 or greater). Additionally, the contractor shall not consume alcohol within 8 hours of any field training evolutions. The Government reserves the right to require the Contractor to relieve an employee from their duties in the event that they reasonably appear to be drunk. If the Contractor refutes this assessment, this Contractor must independently provide a BAC screening within a reasonable time, which shows the employee’s BAC is below .08.

(d) Ensure compliance with Lautenberg Act: The provisions of the Lautenberg Amendment to the Gun Control Act of 1968 make it illegal for anyone convicted of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence to ship, transport, possess, or receive firearms or ammunition. This stipulation disqualifies any affected individual from performing instructional duties in accordance with this PWS. All Contractors will sign a statement which acknowledges that they understand the provisions and consequences of the Lautenberg Amendment, and that they have not been convicted of any covered offense. Additionally, in order to ensure that 1st EOTG complies with 18 U.S.C. § 922(s) (4), the contractor will attach a copy of a print-out from the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) supporting the CPI’s statement. The DD Form 2760 may be used in lieu of a locally created statement. An Adobe eForm can be found at:

http://www.cnic.navy.mil/content/dam/cnic/cnrsw/NBVC/pdfs/about/10%20DD2760form.pdf

(e) Ensuring compliance with the Privacy Act of 1974: The Contractor may be in contact with data and information subject to the Privacy Act of 1974 (Title 5 of the U.S. Code Section 552a). The Contractor will ensure that CPIs assigned to this contract understand and adhere to the requirements of the Privacy Act and to Department of Defense and Marine Corps regulations that implement the Privacy Act. Marine Corps policy and procedures implementing the Privacy Act are detailed in SECNAVINST 5211.5E (Department of the Marine Corps Privacy Act (PA) Program), which is available on-line at:

http://doni.daps.dla.mil/Directives/05000%20General%20Management%20Security%20and%20 Safety%20Services/05- 200%20Management%20Program%20and%20Techniques%20Services/5211.5E.pdf

(d) VOLUME IV: Past Performance – (Submit 1 Copy)

1. Offerors shall provide no more than a total of five (5) relevant past performances references to include both the prime and any sub contractor.

Any submission(s) in excess of this stated limit will be excluded by the Government.

If the offeror possesses no relevant past performance, it should affirmatively state this fact in the Past Performance Information List.

The offeror shall complete Part I and II of the Past Performance Questionnaire and e-mail the questionnaire to the applicable POC. Each POC shall be instructed to complete the questionnaire and e-mail the entire questionnaire to the Contracting Office no later than the proposal due date, to the contract specialist Kate Wimmer at katrina.wimmer@usmc.mil..

3. The Government may use Past Performance information obtained from sources other than those identified by the Offeror.
