1 INTRODUCTION

This Performance Work Statement (PWS) describes the Amphibious Vehicle Test Branch (AVTB) scuba diving services. The base period of performance for the Dive Support Services will be 4 months in duration from 5 August to 30 November 2023. There will be four 12-month option periods: Option year 1 (1 December 2023 through 30 November 2024), option year 2 (1 December 2024 through 30 November 2025), option year 3 (1 December 2025 through 30 November 2026), and option year 4 (1 December 2026 through 30 November 2027).

1.1 Background

The United States Marine Corps (USMC) AVTB is a Department of Defense (DoD) sponsored test facility that provides year-round Test and Evaluation (T&E) of amphibious vehicles, ground combat vehicles, systems, and equipment for the Marine Corps Systems Command (MCSC) and Program Executive Officer Land Systems (PEO LS). AVTB is the responsible test organization under Marine Corps Tactical Systems Support Activity (MCTSSA) for T&E throughout the life cycle of the vehicle platform. Due to the high-risk nature of the AVTB mission, emergency diving support services are required during all amphibious vehicle test events.

1.2 Scope

The Contractor shall provide personnel to perform the scuba diving services.

The support includes:

• Dive tending training, instruction on dive equipment, and underwater-related rescue tools to the AVTB staff and contractors as it relates to associated jobs or duties to assist with dive operations.

• Corrosion prevention and control of all scuba and other dive related GFE items that assists in the location and extraction of personnel in a sinking or submerged amphibious vehicle, boat, or test article.

• Inventory control, warranty, and configuration management of all scuba and other dive related GFE items that assists in the location and extraction of personnel in a sinking or submerged amphibious vehicle, boat, or test article (e.g., dive locker setup with record jackets on all GFE items). The scope of dive support includes, but is not limited to:

o Ensure testing is executed in a safe environment. AVTB determined there is a requirement to have an Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) compliant, surface-supplied dive team on-site during open ocean operations. A diver shall also be able to operate underwater with 0-to-10-foot visibility, in heavy fog and light rain conditions, medium to high rolling seas, and in hours of darkness.

o The divers shall perform underwater inspection of vehicles or rescue of personnel from submerged test vehicles, as needed.

o The Contractor shall supply a dive team to support the wide range of technical and safety responsibilities when used to support the AVTB test platforms for testing future technology and sustainment training.

o Hull cleaning and inspection of AVTB watercraft, to include running gear, intakes, hull appendages, and appurtenances. Also, ensure tightness of anode hardware and replace any corroded or eroded anodes that are less than 75% effective. Props should be maintained at a high level including inspecting bearing clearances, shaft and strut seals, and blade faces and roots for signs of cavitation.

The requirement for this PWS includes:

• Dive support services (section 3.2.1)

3.1.6.1 Marine Corps Enterprise Network (MCEN) and Telephone Services Contractor personnel accessing MCSC information systems must maintain compliance with USMC Enterprise Cybersecurity Manual 007 Resource Access Guide. Contractor personnel will submit a DD 2875 and a completion certificate for the CYBERC course located on MarineNet at https://www.marinenet.usmc.mil. The CYBERC course consists of the DoD Cyber Awareness Challenge and the Department of the Navy Annual Privacy Training (PII). Contractors will have to create a MarineNet account to complete the required training.

MCEN Information Technology (IT) resources, if provided, are designated Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and other limited authorized purposes. DoD military, civilian, consultants, and contractor personnel performing duties on MCEN information systems may be assigned to one of three position sensitivity designations.

1. ADP-I (IT-1): Favorably adjudicated T-5, T5R, (formerly known as Single Scope Background Investigation (SSBI)/SSBI Periodic Reinvestigation (SBPR)/SSBI Phased Periodic Reinvestigation (PPR)).

2. ADP-II (IT-2): Favorably adjudicated T-3, T3R, (formerly known as Access National Agency Check and Inquiries (ANACI)/National Agency Check with Law and Credit (NACLC)/Secret Periodic Review (S-PR)).

3. ADP-III (IT-3): Completed T-1, (formerly known as National Agency Check with Inquiries (NACI)).

All privileged users (IT-1) must undergo a T-1 investigation regardless of the security clearance level required for the position. Privileged users must maintain the baseline Cyberspace Workforce Information Assurance Technical (IAT) or Information System Security Manager (ISSM) relating to the position being filled. Privileged users are defined as anyone who has privileges over a standard user account, such as system administrators, developers, network administrators, code signing specialists, and Service Desk technicians.

All MCEN users must read, understand, and comply with policy and guidance to protect classified national security information, CUI, and prevent unauthorized disclosures in accordance with USMC Enterprise Cybersecurity Manual 007 Resource Access Guide and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Instruction (CJCSI) 6510.01F.

MCEN IT resources are provided for official government use only and other limited authorized purposes. Authorized purposes may include personal use within limitations as defined by the supervisor or the local command. Auto forwarding of e-mail from MCEN Non-classified Internet Protocol Router Network (NIPRNet) (MCEN-N) to commercial or private domains (e.g., Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail) is strictly prohibited. E-mail messages requiring either message integrity or non-repudiation are digitally signed using DoD Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). All e-mail containing CUI, an attachment, or embedded active content must be digitally signed.

MCEN users will follow specific guidelines to safeguard CUI, which includes Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) information. Non-official e-mail is not authorized for and will not be used to transmit any CUI.

Non-official e-mail is not authorized for official use unless under specific situations where it is the only means for communication available to meet operational requirements. This can occur when the official MCEN provided e-mail is not available but must be approved prior to use by the Marine Corps Authorizing Official (AO).

All personnel will use DoD authorized PKI certificates to encrypt e-mail messages if they contain any of the following:

1. Information that is categorized as CUI.

2. Any contract sensitive information that normally would not be disclosed to anyone other than the intended recipient.

3. Any privacy data, PII, or information that is intended for inclusion in an employee’s personal file or any information that would fall under the tenets of Message Identifier (MSGID): DOC/5 USC 552A. Personal or commercial e-mail accounts are not authorized to transmit unencrypted CUI or PII.

4. Any medical or health data, to include medical status or diagnosis concerning another individual.

5. Any operational data regarding status, readiness, location, or deployment of forces or equipment.

3.1.6.2 Common Access Card (CAC)

The Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) will identify and only approve those contractor employees performing on this contract that require a CAC to perform their job function. In accordance with Headquarters, USMC-issued guidance relative to Homeland Security Presidential Directive – 12 (HSPD-12), all personnel must meet eligibility criteria to be issued a CAC. To meet the eligibility criteria, contractor employees requiring a CAC must obtain and maintain a favorably adjudicated Personnel Security Investigation (PSI). Prior to authorizing a CAC, the employee’s Defense Information System for Security (DISS) record must indicate a completed and favorably adjudicated PSI or, at a minimum, that a PSI has been submitted and accepted (opened). The minimum acceptable investigation is a T-1 or an NACI. If a contractor employee’s open investigation closes and is not favorably adjudicated, the CAC must be retrieved immediately and revoked. CACs are not issued for convenience.

Facility Security Officers (FSOs) are responsible for notifying the MCTSSA S-2, Personnel Security (PERSEC) Office at 760-725-1672 if any contractor performing on this contract receives an unfavorable adjudication after being issued a CAC. The FSOs must also immediately notify the PERSEC Office of any adverse/derogatory information associated with the 13 Adjudicative Guidelines concerning any contractor issued a CAC, regardless of whether a DISS Incident Report is submitted.

Each CAC is issued with a ctr@usmc.mil e-mail account that the individual contractor is responsible to maintain as active by logging in on a regular basis (at least twice a month), sending an e-mail, and clearing any unneeded e-mails. Contractors issued a CAC are prohibited from auto-forwarding e-mail from a .mil e-mail account to a .com e-mail account. If the ctr@usmc.mil e-mail account is not kept active, G-6 will deactivate the account and the CAC will also lose its functionality.

Contractor employees shall solely use their government furnished ctr@usmc.mil e-mail accounts for work supporting the USMC, conducted in fulfillment of this contract, and shall not use a contractor supplied or personal e-mail account to conduct official U.S. Government business.

The use of a contractor or personal e-mail account for contractor business or personal use is allowed, but only when using cellular or a commercial internet service provider. If a contractor loses their eligibility for a CAC due to an adverse adjudicative decision, they have also lost their eligibility to perform on MCSC contracts.

3.1.7 Security Requirements

The information provided to the Contractor will be unclassified and/or CUI. Certain Contractors will be required to perform IT-I/II duties that require favorably adjudicated Tier 5/3 Level investigations. The Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) will not authorize Contractors to submit the necessary Tier Level investigations, solely in support of IT level designation requirements, without a valid classified requirement as specified in a DD-254.

This effort does not warrant a DD-254; therefore, the Government Contracting Activity Security Office (GCASO) is required to submit any required investigations in support of IT level designations. However, the contractor FSO is required to establish, populate, and own the DISS record of every contractor processed for and/or issued a CAC or submitted for IT level duties.

The Contractor is required to provide a roster of prospective contractor employees performing IT Level II and/or IT Level I duties to the MCSC COR. This roster shall include full names, social security numbers, IT Level required, e-mail address, and phone number for each contractor requiring investigations in support of IT Level designations. The COR will verify the IT Level requirements and forward the roster to the GCASO. Contractors found to be lacking required investigations will be contacted by the GCASO.

In accordance with DoD Instruction (DoDI) 5200.48 – DoD Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), all contractors supporting MCSC who receive, store, or generate CUI are required to take the DoD mandatory CUI training, available on the Security Awareness Hub at:

https://securityawareness.usalearning.gov/cui/index.html. Per DoDI 5200.48 and pursuant to contractual requirements, DoD contractors require initial CUI training and annual CUI refresher training. Additional MCSC specific CUI training and guidance can be attained by contacting the MCSC AC/S G-2 at (703) 432-3141/3140 or MCSC_ACSG2_SCMO@usmc.mil.

3.1.7.1 Eligibility for Access to Classified Information

This contract may require the Contractors to have a security clearance. The information provided to the Contractor will be unclassified and/or CUI.

3.1.7.2 Qualified U.S. Contractors

The Contractor shall certify in writing to the Government that personnel supporting this contract are qualified U.S. Contractors, per DoD 5220.22‐M, Chapter 2, Section 2. Qualified U.S.

Contractors are U.S. citizens and persons admitted lawfully into the United States for permanent residence and are located in the United States. All personnel identified on the certification or supporting this contract, or both, shall be in compliance with the DoD, Department of the Navy (DON), and the Marine Corps Information and Personnel Security Policy to include completed background investigations (as required) prior to start.

3.1.7.3 Contractor Support Public Trust Determinations

Per MCSC Policy Letter 1-09, all contractor personnel that require a CAC must submit a Standard Form 85P – Questionnaire for Public Trust Positions, and two copies of DD Form 258

– Applicant Fingerprint Card, to the command’s Security Program office along with a personnel roster of submissions and an addressed Federal Express container addressed to Office of Personnel Management (OPM), 1137 Branchton Road, Box 618, Boyers, PA 16018.

The Contractor is responsible for determining when adjudications have been entered by reviewing the notification status of the respective personnel. After verification, the Contractor may request a CAC using the Trusted Associate Security Service (TASS). If issues are discovered, the DCSA will place a “No Determination Made” in DISS and forward the investigation to the submitting office for government adjudication.

3.1.7.4 Base Security

The Contractor shall comply with Marine Corps Base (MCB) Camp Pendleton security regulations and policies. The Contractor’s staff shall be U.S. or naturalized citizens, whose military duty (if applicable) was not terminated by a dishonorable or bad conduct discharge, are not subject to an outstanding criminal warrant, have no felony convictions, and have no more than three criminal misdemeanor convictions within the last 7 years.
