PART 1

GENERAL INFORMATION

1. GENERAL. This is a non-personal services contract. The Government shall not exercise supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn is responsible to the Government.

1.1 Description of Services/Introduction. The Contractor shall provide technical and analytical services that support requirements generation; Research, Development, Testing and Evaluation (RDT&E); acquisition program management, strategic analysis and planning, Joint Operation Concept reviews, and technical analysis related to non-lethal weapons (NLW) intermediate force capabilities (IFC) for both counter-personnel & counter-materiel capability gaps and solutions, and human effects characterization. Contractor SMEs, referred to as Joint Program Support Officers (JPSO), will provide support to various Service Specific NLW Teams and the Joint Intermediate Force Capabilities Office (JIFCO), and Capabilities & Requirements Division, hereafter referred to as Service Integration and Outreach Division (SIOD). The SIOD includes requirements and acquisition professionals focused on assisting Service NLW Teams in accomplishing program strategic objectives and administering JIFCO business processes. Service NLW teams typically include Service designated Central Action Officers, O6, and Flag/SES level representatives guided by a Joint Memorandum of

Agreement outlining responsibilities to the DoD NLW Program. The JIFCO is the day-to-day focal point and management organization of the DoD Non-Lethal Weapons Program directly responsible to the Executive

Agent, the Commandant of the Marine Corps, to execute the responsibilities outlined in DoDD 3000.03E DoD

Executive Agent for Non-Lethal Weapons (NLW), and NLW Policy.

1.2 Background. The Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment (USD A&S) directed the

Commandant of the Marine Corps (CMC) to serve as the Executive Agent for the Department of Defense (DOD)

Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Program (JNLWP). In 2021, the CMC renamed the Joint Non-Lethal Weapons

Directorate, to the Joint Intermediate Force Capability Office (JIFCO). The JIFCO is the focal point for all Non-

Lethal Weapons (NLW) matters. The JIFCO supports the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), the Joint

Staff, Services and Combatant Commanders in NLW requirements identification, policy and capability development, strategic communication, education and awareness, and all matters related to NLW’s.

Additionally, the JIFCO maintains liaison with Other Government Agencies (OGA), North Atlantic Treaty

Organization (NATO), and foreign governments, as appropriate, to promote, monitor, coordinate and exchange

NLW information. The JNLWP facilitates meeting the current and future NLW force application and force protection needs of the Services through identification and understanding of current and projected operational requirements and capability gaps; identifying and developing technologies into operationally suitable and effective NLW’s that are cost- effective; facilitating acquisition and fielding of NLW capabilities; and advancing NLW awareness through strategic communications.

1.3 Objectives. Provide DoD combat and material development consistent with higher level guidance such as National Defense and National Military strategies, project/program management, Science & Technology, networking & communication, RDT&E, technical and analytical, and stakeholder liaison support to the DoD Non-

Lethal Weapons Program, the JIFCO, and JNLWP Service staff. Joint and Service unique requirements stimulation, investment prioritization, technology development monitoring, information management, and stakeholder engagement are the primary reasons for this objective.

1.13 Travel. While the required tasks can be predicted with an acceptable degree of certainty, the unknown frequency of travel, CONUS or OCONUS, will require a high level of flexibility and does not allow forecasting with an acceptable degree of certainty. Therefore, given the unpredictable nature of travel requirements, which do not permit costs to be estimated with sufficient accuracy prior to award using a fixed-price, contract line item number (CLIN), the Travel CLIN will be specified as cost reimbursement.

All requests for travel shall be submitted to the COR for approval prior to the commencement of travel. The request shall provide a detailed breakdown of all associated costs, to include per diem, and submitted to the COR.

No travel will be reimbursed without COR approval, BEFORE the travel takes place.

The Contractor shall be reimbursed for actual allowable, allocable, and reasonable travel costs incurred during performance of this effort IAW FAR 31.205-46 "Travel Costs” and shall follow the guidance in the Joint

Travel Regulations (JTR) and the limitation of funds specified in this contract. This includes, but is not limited to, reimbursement of passport expenses directly and solely related to this contract, transportation, lodging, OCONUS relocation expenses, OCONUS cost of living allowance (COLA) adjustments, meals and incidental expenses. When the Contractor invoices for the completed travel, the Contractor shall submit copies of all receipts

(regardless of dollar value) with a copy of the COR/KO’s approval to travel with the invoice that requests reimbursement for travel under the Travel CLIN. Requests for approval of costs in excess of maximum per diem rates IAW the procedures contained in FAR 31.205-46(a)(3) must be submitted to the KO for final approval prior to commencement of travel.

Local travel expenses, including to and from organizational facilities and the surrounding Government facility locations, performed during the course of performance is considered the cost of doing business and will not be reimbursed. Consequently, all travel within 50 miles of the assigned DoD Government Facility is included in the price of this contract and will not be covered by the travel CLIN. When movement of Contractor personnel is required locally (e.g., Metro) costs will be borne by the Contractor. The Government will reimburse the

Contractor for all other travel outside the 50 miles as long as that travel was authorized in advance by the KO or the COR, for reasonable travel related expenses.

A Trip/Travel report will be required from all Contractor personnel, per CDRL A002

Trip/Travel Report. Trip/Travel reports are required for other JPSO engagements per CDRL A002.

Requested in writing prior to cost accrual;

Authorized in writing by COR in advance of cost accrual;

Invoiced through requests for payments made under the ODC CLIN on each individual task order.

1.15 Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI). Contractor and subcontractor personnel performing work under this contract may receive, have access to or participate in the development of proprietary or source selection information (e.g., cost or pricing information, budget information or analyses, specifications or work statements, etc.) or perform evaluation services which may create a current or subsequent OCI as defined in

FAR subpart 9.5. The Contractor shall notify the KO immediately whenever it becomes aware that such access or participation may result in any actual or potential OCI and shall promptly submit a plan to the KO to avoid or mitigate any such OCI. The Contractor’s mitigation plan will be determined to be acceptable solely at the discretion of the KO and in the event the KO unilaterally determines that any such OCI cannot be satisfactorily avoided or mitigated, the KO may affect other remedies as he or she deems necessary, including prohibiting the

Contractor from participation in subsequent contracted requirements which may be affected by the OCI.

PART 4

SPECIFIC TASKS

4.1 Specific Tasks. The following part describes the specific task areas of expected performance under this contract. Individual TO PRSs will specify general task details required of different JPOS, as may be required to support JIFCO SIOD and various Service NLW Team needs. The contractor shall take reasonable efforts to minimize duplication of effort on task deliverables at locations where two JPSO are located with considering of the expertise required of respective JPSO positions, and with consideration of one of the JPOs being absent for leave, training, or other commitments. See charts below for suggested, not required, allocation of workload for each support area. Many task requirements, timing, and quantity, are unpredictable and may change due to higher authority direction and situation dynamics. The Contractor will routinely coordinate task priorities and timeline reasonableness with JIFCO SIOD and Service NLW Team as necessary to manage tasks and deliverable timelines in these operationally fluid environments. Services with more than one JPSO assignment will have clearly delineate independent roles and tasks for Joint Program Support Officer, Requirements PSO, or Acquisition PSO to be outlined in the Contractor’s Quality Control Plan, per paragraph 1.6. Each task category below has a table to assist in identifying tasks specific to various JPSO billets (i.e., requirements, acquisition).

Table 2 Key Deliverable Overview Table provides a summary of PWS deliverables with requirements.

Requirements explicitly addressed in PWS task paragraphs are also captured in the table, other requirements are flexible based on the needs of the JIFCO SIOD and Service NLW Team needs as may be influenced by higher level requirements and team recommendations, inclusive of contractor recommendations to improve processes and to efficiently accomplish desired tasks within this PWS.
