Performance Work Statement for

Marine Corps Military Working Dog (MWD) Program Support

1. Background:

Headquarters Marine Corps (HQMC), Plans, Policies and Operations (PP&O), Security Division (PS), Law Enforcement & Corrections Branch (PSL) is seeking support for the Marine Corps Military Working Dog (MWD) Program. The MWD program manager is responsible to provide trained dogs, handlers, and support equipment that are unique to MWD requirements. With the expansion of the global terrorism threat, there has been an urgent need to counter the devastating impact of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) being encountered in the area of operations. Increased movement of illicit drugs across our borders has again heightened the need for MWD involvement in counter-drug activities. In addition to traditional MWD functions, such as crowd control, intruder detection and on-leash drug/explosive detection, the Marine Corps has incorporated expanded dog skills, such as remote direction control in the Specialized Search Dog (SSD) and human tracking in the Combat Tracker Dog (CTD). To meet the ever-changing support requirements of MWD deployments, the program office investigates opportunities to provide using units with deployable organic equipment, which are modular in nature, to configure for the individual MWD mission. The Marine Corps 2015 approval of the DoD Family of MWD (FoMWD) Capability Production Document (CPD) is now leading the way to a successful canine equipment acquisition process. The 2015 first edition of the Marine Corps MWD order (MCO 5585.5) is under extensive review for updates necessary to keep pace with the evolving canine support in both the installation and operational force environments. The 2017 authorization to operate (ATO) for the DoD Working Dog Management System (WDMS) has opened new opportunities for implementing long awaited IT enhancements to the Marine Corps system module. Emphasis of MWD support will include documenting policies and procedures associated with all aspects of the employment of MWD assets and the preparation of documentation associated with the requirements, design, and accounting of a canine specific table of equipment (T/E).

2. Scope:

The purpose of this requirement is to provide labor, materials, and all necessary travel and associated services, to support the MWD program and its management of the tasks identified in Section 3 below.

Contractor will be responsible for providing suitable technical, analytical, logistical, and acquisition expertise in response to the projected activities. The Contractor shall be capable of working independently without management or administrative support required.

3. Tasks:

The Contractor is responsible for accomplishing the following tasks:

a. Support the MWD program effort to identify, document, and staff the subsequent changes necessary to the MCO 5585.5.

b. Support the MWD program effort to prepare canine specific organizational T/E along with the acquisition and budget documentation that is associated with the DoD FoMWD CPD.

c. Support efforts to document policies and procedures necessary to manage and employ Marine Corps MWD capabilities. Specific focus will be to support the DoD MWD community initiative to review all MWD team development programs with the purpose of incorporating time efficient techniques, where possible, and additional enhanced capabilities through advanced courses.

d. Support operational force MWD sections with expertise related to expeditionary kenneling requirements as learned from past field tests on prototypes.

e. Document and test enhancements to the web based Working Dog Management System (WDMS) that tracks MWD assets and MWD team readiness and is used in planning for operational missions and deployments.

f. Support MWD sections with the necessary training and expertise to effectively utilize the activity recording management tools in WDMS.

g. Attend and provide support as needed at the annual Kennel Masters Conference and produce the deliverables report from the conference.

h. Attend and provide support at the Semi-annual Joint Services MWD Conference.

i. Support Marine Corps initiatives involving opportunities for cooperative efforts with foreign military canine units and participation in international forums concerning canine employment.

j. Provide the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) with a CD containing all digital files prepared in conjunction with the completion of this project.

k. Provide the COR with subject matter expert (SME) advice, as appropriate, concerning system improvements and logistics requirements that cannot be accomplished within the scope of this project.

l. Provide the COR with a monthly contractor activity and project planning report in a digital format agreed upon at the beginning of the period of performance. Key elements of the report are to include, but not limited to, a summary of support provided, a deliverables listing and labor hours/expenditures to date and remaining in contract.

The Contractor should plan to meet with the COR in DC at the start of performance and once at the duration of this project. The COR may coordinate other meetings, as required, in the local area of the Contractor’s place of business.

INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS

FAR 52.212-1 Instructions to Offerors – Addendum

This is a FAR Part 12 procurement that uses FAR Subpart 13.5 Simplified Procedures for Certain Commercial Items. After receipt of proposals the Government may, with or without notice, negotiate with and, if desired, seek proposal revisions from as many or as few Offerors as it, in its discretion, deems appropriate.

The Government will consider all proposals that are timely received and may consider late proposals. Failure of a proposal to address any items listed in the attached submission package may make it unacceptable.

Proposals shall be submitted electronically using Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and/or Adobe PDF format to Ms. Erika Chavarria (erika.chavarria@usmc.mil). Offerors are advised that the Government may be unable to receive other types of electronic files (e.g., .zip files) or files in excess of eight (8) megabytes. It is the Offeror’s responsibility to ensure that their proposal is received by the date and time listed on the SF1449. No oral presentations will be requested or considered.

SUBMISSION INFORMATION

The proposal must demonstrate an understanding of and ability to meet all of the requirements set forth in the RFP’s performance work statement (PWS). The Offeror shall provide sufficient detail to substantiate the validity of all statements. The Offeror shall demonstrate that the proposal is in compliance with the requirements, terms, and conditions of the RFP. Comprehensive responses to the requirements of the RFP are required to enable the Government to evaluate the Offeror’s understanding of and capability to accomplish the requirements of the PWS.

General statements that the Offeror can or will comply with the requirements, that standard procedures will be used, that well known techniques will be used, or paraphrasing the solicitation’s requirements in whole or in part, will NOT constitute compliance. Failure to conform to any of the requirements of the solicitation may form the basis for rejection of the proposal. Since only the proposal submitted in response to this solicitation will be evaluated, Offerors should make certain that their proposal is complete with regard to the information provided. Data previously submitted, or presumed to be known, e.g., previous projects performed for the Government, will not be considered in the evaluation unless that information is physically contained in the proposal.

Proposals shall be presented in three (3) separate volumes:

Volume I (Technical) Volume II (Past Performance) Volume III (Price and Solicitation Documents)

VOLUME I SHALL NOT CONTAIN ANY PRICING DATA

Format requirements:

8.5 x 11 inch paper Single-spaced typed lines 1 inch margins on all sides No smaller than 12 point font, Times New Roman Graphs and drawings must be clear and legible No photographs or hyperlinks are permitted Microsoft Office compatible files are required

Each volume of the proposal shall be clearly marked as to the volume number, the solicitation number, and the Contractor’s name. Pages shall be numbered consecutively within each volume showing volume and page. For example, page 9 of Volume I would be numbered I-9 and page 10 of Volume II would be numbered II-10.

Offerors are advised that the Government may selectively verify any information provided in the proposal. Offerors are cautioned that they are responsible to ensure that material that they desire to have evaluated for a particular section is contained in that specific section.

VOLUME I: TECHNICAL

The Offeror's technical volume submission shall include all relevant supporting information required or specified in the Solicitation. This Volume shall be limited to twenty (20) pages, not including exhibits and attachments.

Individual resumes shall not exceed two (2) pages per resume. All supplemental documentation to the technical proposal, such as foldouts, charts, figures, tables, or resumes, are not included in the twenty (20) page limit and shall be included as an Appendix. Cover pages, table of contents, and other front matter are not included in the page limit. All material in excess of the page limits will neither be read nor evaluated. Offeror’s shall submit the following information:

The Offeror’s Technical Proposal needs to address the following:

Offerors shall describe their technical approach towards completing the PWS requirements. The technical approach needs to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the technical and programmatic requirements in the PWS and needs to articulate the offeror’s capability to provide continuous quality support to the USMC Military Working Dog Program.

Offerors shall demonstrate they have the capacity and skills to support the identified mission areas, they understand the priorities and emerging issues within those areas, and demonstrate they can execute a comprehensive approach that ensures quality performance and use of resources to meet the objectives.

Offerors shall submit resumes demonstrating the Key Personnel meet the minimum qualifications set forth in the PWS.

VOLUME II (PAST PERFORMANCE)

Offerors are requested to provide information on up to three (3) previous Government contracts whose effort was recent and relevant to the effort required by this solicitation. “Recent” is defined as a contract in-progress or completed within the last five (5) years. If the offeror has not had three (3) Government contracts within the last five (5) years, information on recent and relevant subcontracts and/or commercial contracts may be submitted.

“Relevant” is defined as a contract that is of similar scope, magnitude, and complexity to the requirements set forth in this solicitation. Failure to submit any past performance information shall be considered certification (by signature on the offer) that the Offeror has no past performance for like or similar items for the Government to evaluate.

For each of the Past Performance Information (PPI) identified, the Offeror shall:

1. Describe how the work was/is similar to Military Working Dog (MWD) Program requirements in terms of the scope, magnitude, and complexity;

2. Identify a Point of Contact (POC) (e.g. Contracting Officer, Contracting Officer’s Representative, Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative, or Government Program Manager), Name of contracting agency, agency representative, telephone number, email address.

3. Include type of contract, dollar value, brief description of work performed, problems encountered during contract performance and corrective actions taken.

4. Provide the POC with a copy of the Past Performance Questionnaire (Attachment A) and request that the POC submit the completed questionnaire to the Government in accordance with the instructions on the questionnaire (Attachment A). The Offeror and any subcontractors should complete all applicable items of the Past Performance Questionnaire prior to providing it to each POC. It is requested that the reference POC, not the offeror, email the completed Past Performance Questionnaire (Attachment A) BEFORE THE DUE DATE FOR PROPOSALS directly to Ms. Erika Chavarria (erika.chavarria@usmc.mil). The offeror, NOT THE GOVERNMENT, is responsible for ensuring that the Government receives a sufficient number of questionnaires.

Data contained in the price proposal shall be consistent with data contained in Volume I and the filled-out CLINs in the RFP.

The Offeror shall provide sufficient price information to allow the Contracting Officer to determine the reasonableness of the proposed price. The price proposal shall be submitted in Microsoft Excel 2007 (or later) format.

2. This is a firm-fixed-price effort; therefore, all labor rates and pricing totals shall be inclusive of all overhead, G&A, profit, etc. The Offeror’s total evaluated price includes the firm-fixed-price for all of the work required in the PWS, travel and ODCs.
