SPECIAL OPERATIONS FORCES (SOF) SUPPORT SERVICES

1. INTRODUCTION

This PWS defines the MCMWTC Contractor requirements in support of the Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center. Throughout this PWS, the MCMWTC Contractor is referred to as “Contractor.”

The Contractor shall provide all labor, material, and non-personal services that are necessary to perform the training support and subject matter expert (SME) requirements described in this PWS. The Contractor must ensure their work efforts fully support the MCMWTC mission and key tasks. The Contractor is expected to demonstrate a work ethic and the professionalism required to support MCMWTC in accomplishing their assigned mission.

This contract is designed to provide MCMWTC with a flexible and adaptable support foundation that can be efficiently and effectively utilized to match the unpredictable and emerging requirements MCMWTC must be capable of responding to. The uniqueness of this purposefully developed PWS is required to support the needs of MCMWTC’s customer-the Marine Corps’ ground combat element operating forces.

1.0. BACKGROUND.

1.0.1 MCMWTC Mission. The Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center (MCMWTC) conducts service-level MAGTF integrated exercises and supporting formal schools, develops warfighting doctrine, supports RDT&E for specialized equipment for use in mountain warfare operations, and maintains installation infrastructure and services in order to facilitate increased USMC readiness.

1.0.2 Mountain Exercise

Mountain Exercise (MTX), is a Service Level Training Event, conducted per MCO 3500.11F, the Marine Air Ground Task Force – Training Program, to meet training standards in select Core/Core Plus METs focused on missions in a complex environment, specifically addressing the technical aspects of mountain and cold weather operations. MTX integrates each element of the MAGTF, consisting of a GCE with one infantry battalion, an LCE with a task organized Combat Logistics Detachment, 3rd MAW Assault Support detachment, and enabler units.

Other MTX training audiences consist of Special Operations Forces and forces from other services and partner/allied nations. Currently the MTX is scheduled for five exercises per year, 2 active duty rotations in the summer, 2 active duty rotations in the winter, and 1 reserve component rotation in the summer.

1.1 MISSION

The MCMWTC contractor shall support MCMWTC in the accomplishment of its mission (outlined above), by providing Subject Matter Experts and related services as defined in this PWS.

To successfully accomplish MCMWTC’s mission in context to the requirements of this PWS, the MCMWTC requires support to exercise SOF unit and personnel scheduling, exercise design and support concept development and innovation; these requirements include inputs to planning conferences; support to all phases of MTX execution, support to the development of doctrine, tactics, techniques, procedures and best practices, and support to the RDT&E efforts assigned to the MCMWTC.

The MCMWTC will employ a SME to support the MTX through the functional area of Special Operations Forces & conventional forces integration, interoperability and interdependence. The MCMWTC requires program support for a SOF SME that will assist the MCMWTC in the training and instruction of SOF personnel and units, the development of SOF-specific instructional materials, selection and development of training sites, and act as an observer-controller during the Final Exercise portion of the MTX. The contractor will support MCMWTC through development of curricula and media, exercise planning, design and execution, and implementing instruction through primary locations. This effort is critical to provide advanced and standardized training in Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) Operations, Combined Arms Training at the Battalion level and SOF training.

Additionally, the MCMWTC requires SME support for the examining lessons learned, supporting experimentation, analyzing emerging concepts, incorporating best practices, and advocating for rapid and appropriate institutional solutions to be applied across the service, joint and SOF communities. Curriculum and training support products include, but are not limited to: SOF support producing products and instruction that are aligned with USMC, US Army, and Joint doctrines promulgated by the Marine Corps Information Operations Center, Marine Corps Forces, Cyberspace Command, US Special Operations Command, and the US Army Training and Doctrine Command respectively.

2.0. SCOPE. The Contractor shall provide Joint SME support, curriculum development, and instructional service support for the conduct of the MTX and the entire Joint Exercise Life Cycle (JELC).

4.0. SPECIFIC SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED. The Contractor shall provide support to the MTX through SME support. Product and scenario development, and instructional services provided must be equivalent to the standards established for Marine or military service personnel who have attended a curriculum development or military instructor certification course or civilian equivalents such as the Marine Corps Formal School Instructor Course (FSIC) or Curriculum Development Course, and in accordance with Marine Corps Orders and Policy stated above in paragraph 3.5. The Contractor shall provide overall expertise for successful completion of these tasks.

4.1 MCMWTC SME SUPPORT:

The SME for Special Operations Forces will be required for MTX and Unit Level Training support.

4.1.1 SPECIAL OPERATIONS FORCES SME SUPPORT:

Lessons learned during the Global War on Terrorism have led the Service Chiefs, Commander US Special Operations Command, and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to place great emphasis on the developing and improving Interoperability, Interdependence, and Integration between SOF and Conventional Forces (SOF-CF I3).

SOF participation in Joint and Service Level Training Exercises is one line of effort to address this issue and one that is very much a part of the Mountain Exercise (MTX) conducted at MCMWTC. SOF-CF I3 enhances the ability of the USMC Conventional Forces (CF) to transition from counterinsurgency to a broader focus of post- Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) operational capabilities. Deploying USMC MAGTFs interact with SOF and their command and control (C2) systems. The unique compartmentalized terrain in mountainous environments and the challenges of conducting and sustaining combat operations in those environments forces SOF and CF sharing that battlespace closer than in most other combat environments. SOF participating in MTX learn and reinforce their mountain and cold weather warfare skills, develop and refine unit tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) and work SOF-CF I3 problem sets during the course of the exercise. They rely on instructors from the CF to help them develop and refine these skills.

The SOF instructor will assist the Exercise Control section with exercise planning, scenario development, training objective development, evaluating SOF units during the conduct of MTX and training mitigation plans during the entirety of each MTX JELC.

4.1.2 The Contractor shall conduct an analysis of instructional material, equipment, facilities, and methods to meet training objectives. In support of this requirement, the Contractor shall:

52.212-2 DEFINITIONS

DEFINITIONS

Best Value: The expected outcome of an acquisition that, in the Government’s estimation, provides the greatest overall benefit in response to the requirement (See FAR 2.101).

Clarifications: Limited exchanges between the Government and offerors that may occur when award without discussions is contemplated. If award will be made without conducting discussions, offerors may be given the opportunity to clarify certain aspects of proposals (e.g., the relevance of an offeror’s past performance information and adverse past performance information to which the offeror has not previously had an opportunity to respond) or to resolve minor or clerical errors (See FAR 15.306(a)). The clarifications shall be documented on, and conducted via, ENs to the applicable offeror. Each EN shall clearly indicate that the type of exchange being conducted is “Clarification.” Offerors are not given an opportunity to respond to any identified weaknesses or deficiencies or revise their proposals. Instead, the SSA makes a best value decision based upon the evaluations of the initial proposal as submitted. The Contracting Officer shall exercise caution when engaging in clarifications with offerors in order to avoid crossing the line between clarifications and discussions. Prior to engaging in clarifications with offerors, the Contracting Officer shall consult with the Legal Advisor when preparing ENs to ensure the SST does not give the appearance of entering into “Discussions” unintentionally.

Communications: Exchanges, between the Government and offerors, after receipt of proposals, leading to establishment of the competitive range. The communications are for the purpose of addressing issues that must be explored to determine whether a proposal should be placed in the competitive range. Such communications shall not provide an opportunity for the offeror to revise its proposal, but may address ambiguities in the proposal or other concerns (e.g., perceived deficiencies, weaknesses, errors, omissions, or mistakes (see FAR 14.407); and information relating to relevant past performance; and shall address adverse past performance information to which the offeror has not previously had an opportunity to comment. Communications may be conducted to enhance Government understanding of proposals; allow reasonable interpretation of the proposal; or facilitate the https://www.sam.gov/

Government’s evaluation process. Such communications shall not be used to cure proposal deficiencies or material omissions; materially alter the technical or cost elements of the proposal; and/or otherwise revise the proposal. Such communications may be considered in rating proposals for the purpose of establishing the competitive range. If a competitive range is established, these communications shall be limited to the offerors whose past performance information is the determining factor preventing them from being placed within the competitive range or whose exclusion from, or inclusion in, the competitive range is otherwise uncertain. (See FAR 15.306(b)).

Communications shall be documented on, and conducted via transmittal of, ENS to the applicable offeror. Each EN shall clearly indicate that the type of exchange being conducted is “Communications.” Prior to engaging in communications with offerors, the Contracting Officer shall consult with the Legal Advisor when preparing ENs to ensure the SST does not give the appearance of entering into “Discussions” unintentionally.

Competitive Range: See FAR 15.306(c).

Deficiency: A material failure of a proposal to meet a Government requirement or a combination of significant weaknesses in a proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance to an unacceptable level. (See

FAR 15.001).

Discussions: Exchanges (i.e. negotiations) that are conducted in a competitive environment that are undertaken with the intent of allowing the offeror to revise its proposal. Discussions take place after establishment of the competitive range (See FAR 15.306(d).

Evaluation Notice (EN): The Contracting Officer’s written notification to the offeror for purposes of clarifications, communications, or discussions.

Omission: The absence from a proposal of information requested by the solicitation’s instructions to offerors. An omission may or may not constitute a deficiency.

Performance Confidence Assessment: An evaluation of the likelihood…
