1. Introduction 1

This Performance Work Statement (PWS) for Contractor Logistics Support (CLS) identifies the 2 maintenance and sustainment tasks (i.e. design, engineering, program management, 3 preparation, replacement, installation, configuration, optimization, system certification support, 4 testing, documentation and training) required for the United States Marine Corps (USMC) 5

Consolidated Emergency Response System (CERS). 6

1.1 Background 7

Marine Corps Systems Command (MCSC), Product Manager, Emergency 8

Response Systems (PMM 170.3) was tasked with deploying CERS aboard 9 installations worldwide to bring installation emergency response systems into 10 compliance with the Secretary of Defense (SecDef) Memorandum (January 2010) 11 in reference to the Fort Hood Task Force recommendations and Secretary of the 12

Navy Policy on Emergency Calls. CERS provides Enhanced 911 (E911) 13 capabilities along with the Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) of emergency 14 personnel and First Responders to USMC installations around the world. CERS 15 coordinates installation-organic First Responder emergency and day-to-day 16 operations. First Responders encompasses Firefighters, Law Enforcement (LE) 17 and security personnel, Emergency Medical Technicians, and Explosive 18

Ordnance Disposal personnel who provide the initial, immediate response to an 19 all-hazards incident. 20

CERS was deployed as a turnkey solution in a two-phased approach. The first 21 phase, CERS 1.0 Enhanced 911 (E911), fielded components to support E911 22 functionality (e.g., Local Area Network (LAN), furniture, E911 Customer 23

Premises Equipment (CPE)). The second phase of CERS, commonly referred to 24 as Dispatch Alarm Recording (DAR), included a turnkey Commercial Off-The-25

Shelf (COTS) Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD), integrated Geospatial mapping, 26

Fire Station Alerting (FSA), Records Management System (RMS) interface (both 27

Law Enforcement (LE) and Fire and Emergency Services (F&ES)), and 28 associated CPE. Both phases included system installation, integration and 29 implementation; system warranty and support; and system operator training. 30

These phases as completed make up the current CERS iteration. 31

1.2 Scope 32

This PWS identifies the required USMC CERS maintenance and sustainment 33 tasks (i.e. design, engineering, program management, preparation, replacement, 34 installation, configuration, optimization, system certification support, testing, 35 documentation and training). This PWS covers the contractor’s system level 36 logistical support for CERS. The contractor is responsible to provide continued 37 maintenance and sustainment for the currently installed systems, related E911 38 systems, and Systems Integration Lab (SIL), as defined in Attachment X. This 39

PWS establishes and defines the requirements for maintenance and sustainment 40 of current CERS Hardware (HW) and Software (SW) as well as the interfaces 41 required. Maintenance and sustainment include scheduled and preventive 42 maintenance of hardware, sustained operations and maintenance planning, IT 43 system administration and domain management, software patching and updating, 44

Security Technical Implementation Guide(s) (STIG) compliance, and 45 cybersecurity vulnerability assessments and scans. 46

g) MCAS Cherry Point, North Carolina (NC) 54

h) MCAS Miramar, CA 55

i) MCAS Yuma, Arizona (AZ) 56

j) MCAS Iwakuni, Japan 57

k) Marine Corps Base (MCB) Camp Butler, Okinawa, Japan 58

l) MCB Camp Pendleton, CA 59

m) MCB Camp Lejeune, NC 60

n) MCB Quantico, Virginia (VA) 61

o) Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center (MCAGCC) Twenty-nine 62

Palms, CA 63

1.2.2 Exception to Places of Performance 64

During the first year of the CLS effort there are three locations which do 65 not require full coverage due to a separate contracting action. 1) MCAS 66

Yuma, AZ is fully under warranty for the base year and will require 67 support under this effort in option year two; 2) MCAS Iwakuni, Japan will 68 require E911 support, but the CAD will be under a separate warranty in 69 the base year. Iwakuni will require full support of the E911 and CAD 70 under this effort in option year two; and, 3) MCB Camp Lejeune will 71 require E911 support, but the CAD will be under a separate warranty in 72 the base year. Camp Lejeune will require full support of the E911 and 73

CAD under this effort in option year two. 74
