SECTION C.1 MPF PROGRAM OVERVIEW

1.A BACKGROUND

1.A.1 The Maritime Prepositioning Ships (MPS) program was initiated by the Secretary of Defense in August 1979 creating a new option for increasing the responsiveness of

Marine Corps operating forces requiring immediate and rapid deployment. The program requires the prepositioning of equipment and supplies aboard 12 Navy owned ships strategically located around the world. These 12 ships are divided into two squadrons of six ships each, designated Maritime Prepositioning Ships Squadrons (MPSRONs).

MPSRON-2 and MPSRON-3 are located in the Indian and Pacific Oceans respectively.

Maritime Prepositioning Force (MPF) is a term utilized to describe the combat capability derived when combining a Marine operating force and associated fly-in echelon (FIE) with the assets loaded aboard the MPSs. Each squadron carries roughly a Marine Expeditionary

Brigade (MEB) (18,107 Marines and Sailors) worth of equipment that includes M1A1 tanks, amphibious assault vehicles (AAV), light armored vehicles (LAV), artillery, ammunition, rations, medical supplies, fuel, water-- everything the MEB might need for up to 30 days of sustained combat. In support of that MEB, the Navy also has equipment on each ship to support the Navy operating forces (Navy Support Element– NSE) that conduct Ship to Shore Movement (STSM). The equipment associated with STSM includes, but is not limited to, the following Navy watercraft: Maritime Prepositioning

Force Utility Boat (MPFUB), Lighter Amphibious Resupply Cargo, 5 (LARC-V), Landing

Craft Mechanized-8 (LCM-8) and Improved Navy Lighterage System (INLS), which includes: Warping Tug (WT), Causeway Ferry Power Module, Causeway Ferry Beach

Module, Causeway Ferry Intermediate Module and the RRDF system which includes the

Docking Module, Ramp Module and Combination Module. Continental United States

(CONUS) based support for this entire program is conducted at Blount Island, Jacksonville

Florida.

1.A.2 The breadth and depth of the E/S prepositioned (over 11,000 national stock numbered items totaling slightly over 36 million pieces) provides significant capability and flexibility, enabling the combatant commander to conduct numerous crisis response missions. The concept of combining the speed of strategic airlift with the storage capacity of prepositioned sealift has greatly reduced force closure times in response to contingency scenarios. Under the MPS concept, the squadron will be staged, in advance, near the vicinity of a possible crisis area. If deployment is ordered, the ships would move to a rendezvous point to link up with Marine Corps and Navy personnel flown to the area by the U. S. Air Force’s Air Mobility Command. The equipment would be quickly downloaded and assigned to combat and support units which then would proceed to the objective area. On 12 March 1983, the Commandant of the Marine Corps (CMC) directed the Marine Corps Support Base, Atlantic, hereinafter referred to in its present name, the

Marine Corps Logistics Command (LOGCOM), to contract for logistics services in support of prepositioned assets. Therefore, a contracted civilian maintenance crew living aboard the ships and at a CONUS industrial facility, would be responsible for performing the full range and depth of logistics functions such as preventive and corrective maintenance (up to 4th echelon maintenance), equipment modifications, stock rotation, calibration, inventory management, management of support systems, supply support, asset visibility and transportation management to include in-transit visibility. The MPS Program requires logistics efforts to be accomplished aboard ship, in port areas around the world, and at an industrial facility located on Marine Corps Support Facility Blount Island (MCSF-BI), Jacksonville, Florida during the MPF Maintenance Cycle (MMC). This Statement of Work

(SOW) is applicable to afloat activities for Navy watercraft only. The two MPSRONs are considered identical, however minor differences exist in the types and quantities of equipment loaded, care-in-stores packages, and ships complement of support tools.

1.A.6 The primary effort of Navy watercraft afloat maintenance work shall be accomplished aboard the MPS that the watercraft are embarked utilizing Government-furnished equipment/materials (GFE/M), including government provided common hand tools The contractor performs Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) maintenance and repair as delineated in this SOW. The Contractor shall not use Prepositioning Objective

(PO) equipment and supplies for the purpose of maintenance without prior government approval. The list of GFE is in Attachment C.1-2. Contractors are responsible for the efficient and economical use of the shipboard facilities and equipment provided by the

Navy in the performance of contractual tasks. The contractor shall coordinate new requirements for space, modifications to existing assigned space, and changes to the shipboard facilities and/or equipment with the Navy Support Management Branch for further action. The Navy Maintenance Contractor (NAVMC) is responsible for is expected to exhibit workplace organization and hygiene in the appearance of their assigned workspaces and is responsible for maintaining professional workplace appearance commensurate with that expected on a United States Navy Ship. Additionally, the

NAVMC is responsible for user level maintenance in those shipboard spaces where they operate which includes pickup of trash/debris and placement in appropriate receptacles, emptying of most receptacles, and occasional dusting, sweeping, wiping, and cleaning of the workspace.

1.B NWAMS SCOPE. The NAVMC shall provide specific logistics services in support of the

Navy Watercraft Afloat Maintenance Services. NAVMC shall provide all management, supervision, administrative/clerical, equipment, supplies, consumables, and personal protective equipment required for all personnel performing under this effort (except GFP). This SOW delineates work to be performed by the NAVMC for maintenance of equipment and materiel management such that required assets are available in support of the Navy mission world-wide.

In addition to prepositioning support, the NAVMC shall provide operational logistics services to engaged Navy operating forces. These services shall enable the operating forces to rapidly and successfully conduct and quickly recover from assigned missions across the full spectrum of expeditionary warfare. Tasks assigned to the NAVMC are not limited to materiel support and maintenance as there may be specific support activities necessary for sustainment of this program as described in this SOW. This SOW also defines some tasks performed by the Government.

Government tasks described are provided to ensure a clear understanding of the total program and to help define the division of responsibilities and necessary interfaces between the Government, other contractors and the NAVMC in this unique program. NSMB has been designated as

Executive Agent for the NWAMS and as such shall be the organization, which shall provide all guidance, direction, oversight, and liaison required for the program. The maintenance level to be accomplished aboard ship is dependent upon availability in schedule, accessibility aboard ship, proximity of established repair facilities (host nation maintenance facilities), and the availability of funds. Further scope specifics are provided as follows:

1.B.1 MMC. The MPS rotations are scheduled to meet American Bureau of Shipping

(ABS) requirements for hull inspections and ship certifications. As such, ship schedules and MMC time frames are generally available several years in advance and are tied to dry dock periods (see Attachments C.1-4 MMC-12 Schedule, C.1-5 MMC-13 Schedule, C.1-

8 Proposed MMC-14 and -15 schedule, and C.1-9 Navy Watercraft Plan). The NAVMC work effort is time sensitive for several reasons. First, the MMC effort must be accomplished during the ship's dry dock period and secondly, when the ship is out of its area of responsibility (AOR) the squadron is in a degraded status, i.e., one sixth of the squadron's capability is not available to the regional GCC. Secondly, the tasks within this

SOW provide OCONUS Organizational, Intermediate and Depot Level Repair and

Logistic Services. These services are critical to ensuring that the Navy Watercraft are full mission capable. Any repair work required is continuous and ongoing as a result of a robust schedule and is contingent upon the following factors: watercraft access and availability, weather, mission, exercises, and shipboard activities. Examples of government caused delays are ship movement from homeport for ship crew proficiency training (Military

Sealift Command (MSC) controlled), ship movement in support of MPF exercises

(Combatant Command (COCOM) controlled), ship movement for inclement weather sortie

(MSC controlled) and ship crew performing various ship maintenance or preservation operations impede the contractor from simultaneously working on the watercraft. The items listed all have priority over lighterage maintenance which severely restricts the prime contractor’s window of opportunity to perform needed repairs. This is further exacerbated when the lighterage onboard receives damage during an exercise as it significantly increases the work load in an already restricted window.

1.B.2 Program Sustainment. NAVMC shall provide logistics services in support of the tasks found throughout this SOW. NAVMC shall perform primarily on government owned

OCONUS ships. Toward this end, maintenance and materiel support are described in the

SOW and include; but, are not limited to CPI, Quality Control, Environmental and Safety compliance.

1.B.3 Shipboard Operations. Work performance required by this SOW shall primarily be accomplished aboard deployed MPSs OCONUS. In addition, maintenance may be required ashore at the off-load site during exercises, contingencies and regeneration of exercise damage as authorized by the government or at host nation shipyard or repair facilities authorized by the government.

1.B.4 Navy Requirements. The Navy effort is specifically for the Navy Support Element

(NSE) watercraft maintenance. The NAVMC provides the maintenance, repair and logistical services for the Navy mission as detailed in this SOW. The NAVMC’s organization shall provide optimal equipment readiness while meeting limitations associated with cost and funding, watercraft accessibility, ship berthing availability and ship schedules. The NAVMC shall maintain Navy products and services in accordance with standards identified in Section C.6 of the SOW and all applicable Navy and Marine

Corps orders and directives.

1.B.6 Over and Above Work IAW DFARS 252.217-7028

1.B.6.a USN Over & Above Requirements. Navy "over and above work" in accordance with DFARS 252.217-7028 “Over and Above” is predominately corrective maintenance in nature (intermediate and depot level work) typically associated with exercise/contingency damage to watercraft but may also includes

Fleet Service Bulletins, Engineering Change Notices, System Alterations

(SYSALTS), Safety of Use Message (SOUM) compliance, exercise support, emergent repair, sub-contractor/vendor/Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) support, preventive maintenance overtime, unforeseen services or special projects required to support the Navy mission and associated systems/equipment maintenance and logistics requirements as specifically detailed in Section C.6 of the SOW. Navy “Over and Above” items require government (NSMB) approval.

1.B.7 Military Contingency Support Worldwide

1.B.7.a Deployed. During the period that equipment is downloaded in support of a contingency, equipment is no longer embarked on MPS or available to rotate through the maintenance cycle. The NAVMC, if requested, shall be required to provide in-theater operational level maintenance and logistics support to assist the operating forces. Operational maintenance and logistics support could include such services as watercraft sustainment support, retrograde operations, custodial and/or maintenance of watercraft, preservation, packing/shipping services, equipment maintenance, supply chain services, and/or project management. As an essential part of national mobilization, there may be a requirement for the NAVMC to be prepared to provide immediate supplementation of current workforce and deploy to an off-load site/arrival and assembly area (AAA) in support of a potential contingency, or to a mature theater to provide operational logistics support to deployed Sailors, and/or to a MPS regeneration site to refurbish and reload MPS after a contingency. NAVMC shall sustain operations during periods of extended deployment. Planning cannot be specific as contingency requirements are generally not known until just before execution, however, there shall be a requirement for maintenance and supply expertise, supervision, and Outside

CONUS (OCONUS) sites that support deploying units participating in contingency operations. The NAVMC shall remain with offloaded watercraft upon ship departure.

1.B.8 Exercise Support. The NAVMC shall provide Exercise Support as indicated in respective Exercise Support Letter. Exercise Support includes the deployment of personnel and resources in direct support of the Navy TAAT supporting the Navy Operating Forces

(NAVFOR/OPFOR) utilizing Navy prepositioned assets. The duration of exercise support varies from days to weeks dependent upon the concept of operations. Exercise support will be provided by the “Extended Workday” SLIN which provides a firm fixed price amount per FTE to support an extended workday (12 hours versus 8 hours) per day. The government will identify the required labor categories to support each exercise event within the Exercise Support Letter; required labor categories are contingent upon the watercraft employment and NAVMC personnel assigned to each ship in the exericse location.

1.B.8.1 The NAVMC shall employ “Flex hours” during exercises, ship offload and backload. Flex hours shall accommodate the exercise timeline, lighterage offload and backload timeline, which includes 12 hour shifts within a 24 hour OPTEMPO. For periods of maintenance or custody inactivity while watercraft are offloaded and under the custody of the NAVFOR, the

NAVMC shall assist the Navy TAAT with government furnished property inspections, workshop inventories and inspections, space inspections, and maintenance on watercraft disembarked from the ship as needed.

1.C WORK REQUIREMENTS. The NAVMC shall provide required reports to a common access location whereby both the Government and NAVMC may access this information. The timing associated with these postings are specified herein. Further, the quality of the services, performance demonstrated and products delivered by the NAVMC shall be documented in

CPARS.

1.D MARINE CORPS PREPOSITIONING PROGRAM COMPLEXITY

1.D.1 Program Interdependencies. The MCPP operates in an inherently complex environment characterized by levels of detail complexity and dynamic complexity which are so integrated that the contractor must maintain an appropriate span of control over operational and programmatic complexities to mitigate operational and program management risks. Paragraph 1.D is provided as historical background to better understand the NWAMS role in the MCPP.

1.D.2 Detail Complexity

1.D.2.a Per the government-approved strategic three-year plan developed by the separate Plans & Data Support (P&DS) contract, MPSs rotate one at a time, every

40 months, through BICmd aboard the Marine Corps Support Facility Blount Island

(MCSF-BI) in Jacksonville, Florida to go through its respective, time-constrained

MPF Maintenance Cycle (MMC) which averages 75-90 days across the fleet and encompasses all three segments of the MCPP. Once the ship is offloaded via the

Stevedoring & Related Terminal Services (S&RTS) contract, it is here that the

MCPP contractor performs the full range of sustainment, refurbishment, replenishment and specialized preservation logistics services that ensure the combat readiness of equipment and supplies for subsequent years of forward deployed long-term storage.

1.D.2.b During this MMC period (generally either 75 or 90 days depending on the class of MPS), the MCPP contractor is required to thoroughly refurbish all Marine

Corps and Navy ground tactical military equipment by performing preventive and corrective maintenance, applying modifications, recalibrating Test Measurement and Diagnostic Equipment (TMDE), inventorying/replacing collateral equipment, and exchanging obsolete equipment with newly fielded assets. The contractor’s responsibility is to ensure that the materiel a war fighter requires to operate independently in a completely expeditionary environment for 30 days of sustained combat is attained, maintained, and in a ready-to-issue status prior to re-embarkation aboard the respective MPS. MCPP contractor sustainment efforts for the ashore sites (supply support, stock rotation, Service Upon Receipt (SUR) for newly fielded equipment) is integrated with the concurrent production of each individual ship’s MMC.

1.D.2.c Each ship contains an average of 25,485 Principal End Items (PEI), including the full range of communications and electronics equipment; ordnance

(M1A1 main battle tanks, amphibious assault vehicles, artillery, light armored vehicles, weapon systems, optics equipment, etc.); motor transportation (armored cargo trucks/High Mobility Multi-Wheeled Vehicles (HMMWVs), MRAPs, refuelers, wreckers, etc.); and engineering equipment (forklifts, cranes, container handlers, generators, bulldozers, scrapers, graders, fuel/water systems, etc.). The specialized logistics services performed under this program include inspection, servicing, corrosion control, corrective maintenance (as required), armoring, application of any required modifications, association of collateral equipment and mobile loaded cargo, integration of communications/ electronics equipment, application of Total Asset Visibility (TAV) Radio Frequency Identification Tags

(RFID), preservation for long-term storage and documentation of all of these actions in the Global Combat Support System – Marine Corps (GCSS-MC) or

Naval Tactical Combat Support System (NTCSS) for Navy equipment.

1.D.2.d Additionally, each ship averages 673 shipping containers loaded with

11,671 items of sustainment supplies to include rations; packaged Petroleum, Oils, and Lubricants (POL); barrier/fortification materiel; medical equipment/supplies, and spare repair parts/sub-assemblies. The contractor performs supply and transportation support, such as inventory management, stock rotation (for rations, shelf-life expiry items), calibration, corrosion control /prevention, total asset visibility marking/tracking, and transportation management. A single ship’s MMC production requirements generate approximately 11,000 supply requisitions.

1.D.2.e Finally, once the equipment and supplies have been back-loaded aboard each MPS via the separate S&RTS contract, the MCPP contractor maintains custody, provides COSIS for this materiel while forward deployed in their respective assigned GCC Area of Responsibility (AOR), and prepares/issues it to

Marine and Navy commanders for MPF exercises, Theater Security Cooperation

(TSC) events, Phase 0 operations, and actual crises. In addition to providing specialized logistics services for the largest density of operational MRAP vehicles in the Marine Corps as well as other tactical ground equipment to support training and contingencies in the U.S. Central Command’s AOR, the MCPP contractor also maintains a small subset of the equipment and supplies outside CONUS that are strategically prepositioned in Norwegian storage caves in support of MCPP-N

(specifically M1A1 main battle tanks and sensitive communications equipment that the Host Nation military is not allowed to maintain for the USMC).

Note: The NWAMS NAVMC will maintain custody of Navy watercraft assets identified in this SOW during the afloat phase.

1.D.2.f The MCPP Program description above in paragraph 1.D.2 illustrates a prescriptive and interdependent process involving thousands of variables or moving parts which in a friction and fog free environment all come together at the right time and place. The sheer volume of materiel processed over such a short time is a balancing act of program and project management as it applies to risk.

1.D.3 Dynamic Complexity

1.D.3.a The very nature of the strategic MCPP is centered on responding to the unknown with a credible capability in short-to-no notice time frames. Therefore, BICmd’s operational mandate is to: 1) attain 100% of the Commandant of the

Marine Corps’ stated prepositioning objective for equipment and supplies; 2) configure and maintain all of the prepositioned materiel to 100% combat readiness;

and 3) to maximize the forward deployed “on station” time in support of the GCC’s war plan requirements. This cuts to the core mission of the Marine Corps and creates an environment of dynamic complexity in the MCPP by the countless stakeholders who directly and indirectly influence the day-to-day pre-planned and programmed MMC activities. Significant dynamic complexities are introduced by those external entities directing operational mission and/or program management changes that create program-wide resource loading ripple effects which must be assessed (within unyielding time and facility constraints) and adjusted to in-stride by the Program Management team and the MCPP contractor.

Note: The NWAMS NAVMC supplements the MCPP effort by performing

OCONUS Navy watercraft maintenance and logistics support to ensure optimal operational readiness of the Navy watercraft that perform Ship to Shore Movement

(STSM) of the Prepositioning Objective.

1.D.3.b The common element in this injected dynamic complexity is that the origins of change – natural or manmade – fall completely outside of the BICmd’s ability to forecast or influence them. Some examples and their impacts to on-going

MMC production operations follow:

Combat and HA/DR Contingency Operations: Crisis response missions require the task organization and deployment of Technical Assistance &

Advisory Teams (TAAT ) which draw government and MCPP contractor personnel away from the Blount Island MMC to prepare and issue prepositioned materiel to Marine and Navy operating forces. Subsequent post-contingency reconstitution efforts are based on the scope of sustainment items consumed and the damage to combat equipment that must be reset to 100% readiness for the next contingency. Historically, reconstitution has been executed in theater (post DESERT STORM when half of BICmd and the contractor deployed forward) or at Blount Island

(nine ships worth of equipment retrograded to BICmd post IRAQI

FREEDOM I).

Exercises/TSC/Phase 0 Ops: The past 16 years have witnessed the quadrupled usage of prepositioned material for Marine Corps operating force training, engagement opportunities with foreign countries and their militaries, and deterrence operations. The number and scope of these activities are generally only determined by the GCCs and Marine Corps a year ahead of time; therefore, the MCPP contract must be flexible enough to meet this demand signal while concurrently executing MMC operations.

Post exercise corrective maintenance (CM) opportunities are typically deferred to the next scheduled MMC opportunity due to time, space, resource and schedule constraints. Therefore the actual CM requirements are unknown until the ship is offloaded at BICmd and the equipment is fully assessed, further impacting the MMC.

New Doctrine and Employment Concepts: USMC efforts to develop doctrine to counter and destroy a constantly evolving enemy threat results in perpetual “reshaping” of the prepositioned combat capability sets produced by the MCPP. Changes in doctrine often occur faster than they can be implemented due to the three year maintenance cycle process to actually access the prepositioned materiel. This process is further complicated by the necessity to “roll-down” assets from one ship to another in order to place it on the correct platform to meet operating force requirements. Therefore, in a perfect world it would take at least two full

MMCs to fully realize comprehensive support of new doctrine and/or concepts of employment. The Blount Island prepositioning program enterprise is currently working to produce Crisis Response Force Packages

(CRFP) to achieve the Seabasing doctrinal capability requirements.

Additionally, the Marine Corps is mitigating the shortfall in amphibious lift by utilizing MPSs as alternative platforms to deploy small Marine units for engagement operations. As stated above this too requires deployment of

TAATs with the resulting impacts to the MCPP contract.

Combat Equipment Modernization: The MCPP includes nearly 66,000 line items of combat materiel that span virtually the entire equipment inventory of the Marine Corps. Modernization is constantly ongoing and fielding for larger scale weapons systems is generally forecast early enough to be included in deliberate MMC plans. That said the rule is that newly fielded equipment (modernized or in response to operating forces Urgent Needs

Statements) arrives throughout the MMC and must be integrated into the combat sets in-stride. This often requires New Equipment Training (NET) for the workforce, directly impacting current operations. Additionally, equipment modernization occurs along programmatic lines with varying speed, prioritization and resourcing at the enterprise level, further complicating MCPP planning and execution.

Ship Platform Modernization: Military Sealift Command (MSC) modernization programs (e.g. the transition from legacy prepositioning ships to LMSRs; MPF ships reaching end of service life; etc.) have resulted in significant changes to the MMC production activities to configure equipment for long term storage (e.g. mobile loads, truck cabs up or down, etc.). The introduction of two T-AKE sustainment ships to the prepositioning fleet necessitated a complete MMC production methodology change requiring palletized loads for those specific platforms vice using

Twenty Foot Equivalent Unit (TEU) ISO shipping containers for the prepositioned sustainment assets on all other Roll-On/Roll-Off (RO/RO)

MPSs.

Ship Availability: Periodically MPSs fail to return to BICmd for backload per the MMC calendar due to extended shipyard availability periods that are caused by ship alterations/modifications driven by operational capability needs, or to address maintenance issues. The typical impact to the MCPP is an unprogrammed, additive COSIS requirement for that ship’s capability set of prepositioned materiel by the contractor until the outgoing ship can be scheduled for backload. These COSIS efforts impact MMC production for the next ship in the cycle by drawing on resources to meet this unprogrammed requirement.

Note: Late arrival of MPS from a shipyard period has potential to impact

NAVMC rotations and schedules.

Weather: Lost MMC production days due to destructive/severe weather conditions (e.g. loss of six calendar days during two hurricanes in 2016) must be made up to meet ship backload and GCC on-station requirements.

1.D.3.c A review of the most recent MMCs reveal major schedule changes that resulted in significant second/third order effects to the MCPP as follows: MMC-9

(2007-2010) 26 changes; MMC-10 (2010-2013) seven changes that included two complete revisions of the MMC plan; MMC-11 (2014-2017) 15 changes and MMC

12 (2017- present) 14 changes. These major program changes are heightened by literally hundreds of individual changes to equipment and supplies being processed during each ship’s MMC. The impact of changes to the MCPP driven by the combined effects of these detail and dynamic complexities has a logarithmic effect resulting in an inherent complexity that must be mitigated. Given the sacrosanct war fighter expectation that no harm is done to the viability of the operational capability sets or to the GCC expectations regarding on-station time, the MCPP enterprise must be flexible enough to adjust to the imposed changes “in stride” with ongoing MMC and overseas operations.

Note: MMC schedule changes has potential to impact NAVMC rotations and travel schedules. The NWAMS PM must be flexible enough to adjust to the imposed changes “in stride” with ongoing NAVMC overseas operations.

1.E NWAMS GOALS

1.E.1 Effectively Meet Program Operational Goals. The primary goal of the NWAMS contract is to effectively perform all SOW actions necessary to ensure the expectations of our external customers, the Navy Operating Forces (NAVFOR), are met. Full operability of the Navy watercraft with accurate reporting and reliable readiness as the end-state of this effort.

1.E.2 Efficiently Meet Program Operational Goals. No less important, the second goal of the NWAMS is to ensure the Navy Forces (NAVFOR)/Navy Support Element requirements are met in the most cost efficient manner possible while remaining in conformance with this SOW. NAVMC shall report the external and internal tracking, trending, and tracing of performance and cost. Upon identification of unsatisfactory trends, the NAVMC shall correct/report the causes of nonconformance to Contracting Officer

(KO), and Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR).

1.F ORGANIZATIONAL RESPONSIBILITY. The NAVMC shall be directly responsible for execution of the contract and SOW requirements.
