PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

Community of Interest OSCR, CDG, and ATP Development

I. Background

The Logistics Training and Education Advocacy (LPC-3) under Headquarters Marine Corps Installations and

Logistics (HQMC I&L) serves as the advocate for the Marine Corps logistics training and education, the logistics occupational field, and the Marine Corps’ Logistics Civilian Community of Interest (COI). In support of its mission, LPC-3 abides by the Department of Defense’s (DoD) Strategic Human Capital Management guide, which established the foundation and execution strategies for COI programs throughout the DoD and Marine Corps Order

(MCO) 12410.25, which directs the establishment of a structured approach to support civilian strategic human capital management. As the largest of the Marine Corps’ COIs, LPC-3 also serves as co-advocate for common COI matters affecting all 21 COI families.

The US Office of Personnel Management (OPM) establishes general definitions (Tier I) for occupational competencies in the Multipurpose Occupational Systems Analysis Inventory Competencies (MOSAIC). The

MOSAIC approach sets forth the common language (common tasks and competencies) used to describe occupations. It provides agencies with a basis for building integrated human resource management systems that use a common set of tasks and competencies to structure job design, recruitment, selection, performance management, training, and career development so that employees receive a consistent message about the factors on which they are selected, trained, and evaluated. It is the responsibility of the DoD to further refine these factors for occupational field at the Tier II level as they apply across the entire Department. The requirements outlined in this document serve to assist in establishing Tier III (Service level) tasks and competencies to structure job design, recruitment, selection, performance management, training, and career development specific to the Marine Corps.

Shortfalls within the United States Marine Corps’ (USMC) current COI instructions were identified that prohibit

COI Managers from establishing effective Occupational Series Career Roadmaps (OSCR) and Career Development

Guides (CDG) for civilian employees within the Marine Corps COIs. These areas of concern have escalated to levels that cannot be resolved given the Government’s technical capabilities; therefore, contractor services are required to support LPC-3’s efforts to develop these instructions for the Marine Corps COI program.

II. Scope

The purpose of this requirement is to provide technical support to develop OSCR, CDG, and Annual

Training Plans (ATP) for the following COI families and job series:

The intent of these instructions is to establish and document a baseline for civilian employee training requirements, which may include certification courses and on the job training guides. Contractor support shall include COI analyses for the job series above, advising COI Leaders and Managers on instructional revisions, identifying best practices, training recommendation validation, and database management for training and audit records.

III. Tasks

A. Occupational Series Career Roadmaps

The OSCR serves as the foundational document that outlines the competencies, behavioral indicators, and proficiency target levels for success in a given role and provide a list of targeted training to hone one’s skillset. The OSCR further serves as a validation of community training requirements and planning. This task addresses development and revalidation of the competencies and training models for each occupational series and to develop comprehensive OSCRs. This task shall require analyses from data provided via government occupational series subject matter experts (SME) to determine the civilian employee population and evaluate historical records for the respective job series. The Contractor must:

i. Evaluate Tier 1 and Tier 2 requirements of the job series provided under Section II and identify critical milestones for training and certification, if applicable. The Contractor must identify opportunities to consolidate requirements across job series to establish administrative efficiencies. For instance, if the 2099 series shares training requirements that are commensurate with the 2001 series, then both would be listed under the same Occupational Series Career Roadmap.

ii. Provide SME support services such as functional insight and technical guidance during working group functions with COI stakeholders. These events are intended to document the full scope of duties of the occupational series across the Marine Corps enterprise to identify and align appropriate competencies specific to Marine Corps mission and operations. These events serve to better define job series requirements, identify best practices, and identify appropriate training requirements aligned to each competency. This task shall require travel to USMC installations listed under Section

IX.

iii. Provide support to develop the OSCRs for the job series provided under Section II as follows:

a. The Contractor must review current OSCR(s) and provide the Contracting Officer’s

Representative (COR) a recommendation for prioritization of reviews and updates.

b. The Contractor must submit all draft OSCRs to the COR and any other stakeholders designated by the COR for final review.

c. The Contractor must complete all revisions provided by the COR to finalize the OSCR.

d. The Contractor must upload the final OSCR for each job series to the COI SharePoint site and ensure LPC-3 has access to it at all times.

iv. Provide recommendations to revise and update OSCRs to ensure consistency with applicable USMC and DoD policies.

v. OSCR Report – All services under this task must be documented within a report that is submitted to the COR and updated on a monthly basis in accordance with Section V below.

The Contractor must maintain detailed records such as correspondence, information papers, meeting minutes, and travel records in support of this contract. This data shall be used by the Government in briefs to DoD leadership and COI community stakeholders, COI quarterly newsletters, strategic communication plans (i.e. Mission and Vision Statement development), inform annual training plan development, inform annual reports, and day-to-day correspondence.

B. Career Development Guide

The Career Development Guide is designed to help Civilian Marines understand the relationship between gaining proficiency in a particular occupational specialty and charting a career path to advance or change careers. This guide empowers Civilian Marines to make educated decisions to plan and advance their professional career development. The CDG serves as the foundational guide for each COI family that outlines the workforce management, developmental planning, professional development, and programs specific to each COI. This task shall require analyses from data provided via government COI SMEs, as well as from OPM, DoD and USMC Manpower & Reserve Affairs (M&RA) published guidance to codify COI specific guidance for civilian employee professional development. The Contractor must:

i. Review current CDGs and provide the COR a recommendation for prioritization of review and updates.

ii. Evaluate professional development requirements of the COI families provided under Section II and outline matters of workforce management, developmental planning, professional development, and programs specific to each COI.

iii. Provide SME support services such as functional insight and technical guidance during working group functions with COI stakeholders. These events are intended to document the full scope of civilian professional development across the Marine Corps enterprise specific to each COI family. These events serve to identify best practices and codify comprehensive COI management and professional development strategy. This task shall require travel to USMC installations listed under Section VIII.

iv. Provide support to develop the CDG for the COI families provided under Section II as follows:

a. The Contractor must submit all draft CDGs to the COR and any other stakeholders designated by the COR for final review.

b. The Contractor must complete all revisions provided by the COR to finalize the CDG.

c. The Contractor must upload the final CDG for each job series to the COI SharePoint site and ensure LPC-3 has access to it at all times.

v. Provide recommendations to revise and update CDGs to ensure consistency with applicable

USMC, DoD, and OPM policies.

vi. CDG Report – All services under this task must be documented within a report that is

The Contractor must maintain detailed records such as correspondence, information papers, meeting minutes, and travel records in support of this contract. This data shall be used by the Government in briefs to DoD leadership and COI community stakeholders, COI quarterly newsletters, strategic communication plans (i.e. Mission and Vision Statement development), inform annual training plan development, inform annual reports, and day-to-day correspondence.

C. Annual Training Plan

The ATP is the principle document that informs the development and execution of the COI Manager’s training program. The ATP is designed to help COI Managers develop executable training programs that link gaining proficiency in a particular occupational specialty and charting a career path to advance. This plan empowers COI Managers to make educated decisions to plan, fund, and execute Series Training

Programs and advance the professional career development for COI members. The ATP serves as validation of the OSCRs and CDGs for each COI family and guides the COI Manager’s training program by outlining and prioritizing developmental planning, professional development, and education programs specific to each COI. This task shall require analyses from data provided via Government COI SMEs as well as from OPM, DoD, and USMC M&RA. The data is published guidance to codify COI best practices and recommendations for training program development and includes financial auditability for associated training program execution processes. The Contractor must:

i. Evaluate current training program processes and procedures related to the professional development and training requirements of the COI families provided under Section II to make recommendations on maximizing train program efficiencies and outline matters of training budget management and program auditability.

52.212-1 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.

Offers are solicited on an “all or none” basis. Failure to submit an offer for all requirements of the PWS shall be the cause for rejection of the offer. Non-compliance with any of the provisions herein may lead the Government to determine that a proposal is non-compliant and may result in removal from the evaluation.

Proposals shall be submitted electronically using Microsoft Word (*.docx), Microsoft Excel (*.xlsx), and/or

Adobe (*.pdf) format to Ms. Ana Cruz (ana.cruzzavala@usmc.mil). Offerors are advised that the Government may be unable to receive other types of electronic files (e.g., *.xls and *.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.

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.

PROPOSAL SUBMISSION INFORMATION

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

• Volume I – Technical

• Volume II – Past Performance

• Volume III – Price and Solicitation Documents

VOLUME I MUST NOT CONTAIN ANY PRICING DATA

Proposal 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 o Microsoft Excel documents must be in *.xlsx format

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 ten (10) 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 ten (10) 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.

Factor 1 – Technical Capabilities:

Offerors shall:

a. Describe the 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 Community of Interest

(COI) requirement.

b. Demonstrate the capacity and skills to support the identified mission areas, an understanding of the priorities and emerging issues within those areas, and the capabilities to execute a comprehensive approach that ensures quality performance and use of resources to meet the objectives.

c. The contractor shall provide resumes for all key personnel that demonstrate the minimum years of experience, education, and skills necessary to perform all requirements in the solicitation.

VOLUME II: PAST PERFORMANCE

Factor 2 – Past Performance:

Offerors are requested to provide information on up to two (2) previous Government contracts whose effort is recent and relevant to the effort required by this solicitation. If the Offeror does not have recent and relevant past performance experience, then the Offeror must make an affirmative statement to this effect.

a. “Recent” is defined as a contract in-progress or completed within the last five (5) years. If the offeror has not had two (2) Government contracts within the last five (5) years, information on recent and relevant subcontracts and/or commercial contracts may be submitted.

b. “Relevant” is defined as a contract that is of similar scope, magnitude, complexity to the requirements as set forth in this solicitation.

i. Scope: Experience in the task areas defined in the PWS.

ii. Magnitude: The measure of the similarity of the volume, dollar value and/or duration of the work actually performed under the offeror’s submitted contracts to the PWS.

iii. Complexity: The measure of the similarity of technical difficulty, managerial intricacy and/or required coordination of efforts and disciplines performed by the offeror in its submitted contracts to the PWS. For complexity, not only will the tasks performed by the offeror be considered, but also the offeror’s ability to coordinate tasks (e.g., concurrent performance requirements).

For each of the past performance experience identified, the Offeror shall:

a. Describe how the work was/is similar to COI’s requirement in terms of the scope, magnitude, and complexity.

b. Identify a Point of Contact (POC) (e.g. Contracting Officer, Contracting Officer’s Representative, Contracting

(End of Section)

52.212-2 ADDENDUM

EVALUATIONS

The Government will issue a Firm-Fixed Price Contract to a responsible Offeror whose offer, conforming to the solicitation, provides the best value to the Government.

Factor 1- Technical Capabilities

Factor 2- Past Performance

Factor 3- Price

The Government intends to make an award off of initial proposals; therefore, Offerors should provide their most competitive and complete proposal assuming there will not be a future opportunity to revise their proposal.

However, after receipt of proposals the Government reserves the right to (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 award will consider each offeror’s Technical Capability, Past Performance, and Price. Factor 1 – Technical

Capability is more important than Factor 2 – Past Performance, which is more important than Factor 3 – Price. The non-price factors when combined, are significantly more important than Factor 3 - Price.

Quotes will be evaluated to determine if the response is Outstanding, Good, Acceptable, Marginal, or Unacceptable for the non price-factors. If a quote is deemed marginal or unacceptable for any non-price factor, it may not be considered for award.

Factor 1- Technical Capabilities

The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s level of technical understanding of the PWS requirements and the overall scope of work. The Government will evaluate the Offerors ability to convey a clear, comprehensive approach to meeting the PWS utilizing the personnel and labor mix proposed. The Offeror will be evaluated on its ability to demonstrate its technical approach to meeting each task requirement within the PWS, to include the performance requirements, deliverables delivery schedule, and travel requirements.

Key Personnel- Offerors will be evaluated based on the overall experience, education, and skills of each offeror’s proposed key personnel in accordance with the minimum key personnel requirements in the PWS. Preference will be given to the offeror with personnel that exceeds minimum requirements.

Factor 2- Past Performance

Past Performance will be evaluated based on the degree to which the Offeror or its subcontractor’s experiences reflect experience on projects that are similar in size (dollar amount) and relevancy to the requriements contained in the PWS. The Government will also evaluate that at least one of the projects was performed or is currently being performed by the Prime Contractor. Information obtained either from the references provided or through

Government available records, such as PPIRS, may be used to evaluate the Offeror’s performance record on these projects.

Factor 3- Price

The Government will conduct a price reasonableness analysis of the Offeror’s total price. The Government’s estimated total price range for this effort is between $1.9M to $2.4M for all price/cost elements for all periods of performance. Proposed total prices that are excessively high or low (without sufficient justification) may be considered unrealistic and unreasonable and may receive no further consideration.
