STATEMENT OF WORK

C.1 INTRODUCTION

The Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) is a U.S. Government corporation whose mission is to provide assistance that will support economic growth and poverty reduction in carefully selected countries that demonstrate a commitment to just and democratic governance, economic freedom, and investments in their citizenry. For more information on the MCC, please visit www.mcc.gov.

On January 23, 2003, the United States established the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), an innovative foreign assistance program designed to reduce poverty by promoting sustainable economic growth. MCC, a U.S. government corporation, is based on the principle that aid is most effective in countries that promote good governance, economic freedom, and investments in people.

If you are looking to be a part of a dynamic team environment, then MCC is the place for you! Visit our WEBSITE at WWW.MCC.GOV to see the life changing projects our staffs are undertaking. MCC's mission is to reduce poverty through economic growth.

Our model is defined by principles of selectivity, country ownership, transparency, and a focus on results. Our values identify who we are and what is important to us. MCC's values are CLEAR - Collaboration, Learning, Excellence, Accountability and Respect. We recruit staff that will embody and uphold these values.

The MCC requires a contractor to execute a personal services indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract to augment its staff across the agency.

C.2 OBJECTIVE

The MCC has a wide range of staff support needs across multiple business areas. This support will be aligned with the traditional Office of Personnel and Management (OPM) job family standard for Administrative Work in the following job families, and others to be added as needed:

• Information Technology Group (2200)

• Financial Clerical and Technician Series (0503)

• Management and Program Clerical and Assistance Series (0344)

• Economist Series (0110)

• Miscellaneous Administration and Program Series (0301)

• General Attorney Series (0905)

• Writing and Editing Series (GS-1082)

C.3 SCOPE OF WORK

The Contractor shall provide staffing support for approximately twenty to thirty positions that will be defined in accordance with the OPM guide for the series standards listed above. Each position description (PD) will have an associated level that will guide the contractor in proposing a suitable labor category and candidate.

MCC is specifically authorized by statute to award personal service contracts as defined by FAR 2.101 and 37.104 and as necessary to meet its mission. The nature of the work under this contract necessitates direct supervision of the contractor's staff by Millennium Challenge Corporation supervisors.

Therefore, under this contract, the contractor shall provide personal services to the MCC. However, all contractor staff will carry a "contractor" MCC identification card, identify themselves in all correspondence as contractors representing MCC.

C.4 GENERAL INFORMATION REGARDING PSC CONTRACTS AT MCC

As PSC contracts are different than traditional contracts, this section describes how this contract will be executed on a day-to-day basis.

C.4.1 Benefits for accepted contract staff

MCC provides a set of benefits to PSC contractor staff that will be available to positions on task orders. The following possible benefits will be available based on the position, work location, and current agency policy:

- Transit benefit

- Parking benefit

- Access to online learning portal

- Telework

- Alternate work schedules (i.e., 5/4/9 or 4/10)

- Remote work

- Credit hours (ability to work extra hours that are then leveraged as leave)

- Compensatory time off for travel (i.e., accrual of time off due to travel)

- Cash award based on project or personal performance.

During the period of performance of the task orders, MCC may reward PSCs with Cash awards in recognition of outstanding performance. The awards are expected to be delivered to designated staff, minus taxes, without the vendor receiving a fee for processing.

C.4.2 Labor Categories

As mentioned in section 2, contract staff positions will be described through an official PD, and in keeping with the job family series. Job family series and PDs will designate the functional area for the positions, descriptions of the capabilities the contract staff needs to have, and the duties of the position (See Attachment 001). It is expected that additional labor categories may be added if additional OPM job families are added or if a specific position needs a better-defined labor category.

C.4.3 Candidate Selection Process

The contractor shall provide a minimum of three (3) resumes for each labor category identified in the Task Order. Since this is a PSC contract, MCC will conduct interviews to select the best candidate. As needed, additional clarification and feedback will be provided to ensure candidates meet agency requirements. Resumes for multiple candidates should be provided within 5 business days of the identification of a vacancy or new requirements.

For each time a position that needs to be staffed by the contractor, MCC's Human Resources will develop a position description, educational requirements, job skills needed, and a pay range for how it aligns with our internal pay scale. The pay scale provided will be the range MCC will fund for the position and not representative of the candidate's actual pay as the vendor will need to account for their costs for overhead and benefits.

MCC will be supplied with a cost break down between direct labor and benefits to assist in evaluating funding sustainability of the candidate.

The contractor is expected to maintain the following capabilities and produce evidence or supporting documentation as requested:

• Financial capability and responsibility (i.e. as reported by Dun and Bradstreet, or financial/banking capability to meet payroll expenses while billing monthly for the prior month's services.

• Human resource management and strategic staffing capability, including, but not limited to the following: • Demonstrated awareness of, concern for, and adherence to all appropriate ethical considerations, whether explicit in law or regulation or implicit through the exercise of prudent judgment.

• Demonstrated ability to obtain and maintain an amount of suitably cleared resources for all labor categories throughout the contract's period of performance at a level sufficient to meet increased services up to the estimated level of effort set forth in this contract.

• Identification of potential candidates that meet the qualifications as specified in Section C.

Inquiries regarding the registration process should be addressed to the CPARS help desk.

The email address is WEBPTSMH@NAVY.MILand the telephone number is (207) 438-1690. As part of this process, the contractor must determine who will serve as their CPARS "Contractor Representative" in the CPARS system. If, at any time, the contractor makes a determination that their CPARS Contractor Representative needs to change to a different individual, the contractor must contact MCC via email at the address CPARS@mcc.gov to notify MCC of the change so that appropriate action can be taken by MCC's CPARS Focal Points to ensure that the contractor receives timely notification of their evaluation. Failure to do so may result in the contractor not receiving their evaluation in a timely manner and may result in the contractor not receiving the opportunity to provide comments in response to MCC's evaluation. The email notification to CPARS@mcc.gov must contain the following information:

1. Name and email address of previous CPARS Contractor Representative

2. Name and email address of new CPARS Contractor Representative

3. Contract and order number (if applicable) of each affected contract that the contractor has with MCC.

2006)

MCC 52.232-72 LIMITATION OF FUNDS - INCREMENTALLY FUNDED CONTRACTS (NOV 2006)

(a) Of the total price in Section B (or the "Prices" section), only the amount stated on the contract award document or subsequent modifications is now available for payment and obligated under this contract. It is anticipated that from time to time, additional funds will be obligated under the contract until the total price of the contract is obligated.

(b) The Government is not obligated to pay or reimburse the contractor more than the amount obligated pursuant to this clause. The contractor agrees to perform the contract up to the point at which the total amount paid and payable by the Government (including amounts payable for subcontracts and settlement costs if this contract is terminated for convenience) approximates but does not exceed the total amount obligated.

(c)(1) If the contractor considers the funds obligated under this contract to be insufficient to cover the work to be performed until the date specified in Section B, or another date agreed to by the parties, the contractor shall notify the contracting officer in writing and indicate the date on which it expects expended funds to approximate 75 percent of the total amount obligated.

The notice shall state the estimated amount of additional funds required to continue performance through the date for which incremental funds is provided.

(2) If, after notification is provided pursuant to paragraph (c)(1) of this clause, additional funds are not obligated, or an earlier date than the date in Section B of this clause is not agreed to, the contractor shall not be obligated to continue performance under this contract (including actions under the termination clause of this contract) beyond the funds obligated for contract performance.

(d) When additional funds are obligated from time to time for continued performance of this contract, the contract shall be modified to increase the funds obligated and to indicate the period of performance for which funds are applicable. The contractor may notify the contracting officer as provided in paragraph (c)(1) of this clause regarding any additional funds obligated.

(e) This clause shall become inoperative upon obligation of funds sufficient to cover the full price stated in the contract, except for rights and obligations then existing under this clause.

(f) Nothing in this clause shall affect the Government's right to terminate the contract for convenience or default.

MCC 52.209-70 ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST: PRECLUSION FROM IMPLEMENTATION

CONTRACT (JULY 2012)

Work under this contract may call for the Contractor to furnish important services in support of the design or feasibility of specific activities that may become part of a Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) Compact. In accordance with the principles of FAR Subpart 9.5, THE CONTRACTOR MAY BE INELIGIBLE TO FURNISH, AS A PRIME OR SUBCONTRACTOR OR OTHERWISE; THE IMPLEMENTATION SERVICES FOR ANY ACTIVITIES FOR WHICH IT PROVIDES SUBSTANTIAL DESIGN SERVICES EXCEPT FOR SUCH SERVICES THAT MAY BE FURNISHED UNDER THIS CONTRACT. If a determination is made that the contractor is ineligible for implementation services, the MCC Managing Director of Contracts and Grants Management may authorize a waiver (in accordance with FAR 9.503) if the Director determines that preclusion of the Contractor from the implementation contract would not be in the Government's best interest.

MCC 52.204-70 SECURITY REQUIREMENTS FOR CONTRACTOR PERSONNEL - FEBRUARY 2019

A. Compliance with MCC Safety and Security Regulations at MCC Headquarters

1. Personal services contractors (PSCs) and contract employees including those working for subcontractors shall be subject to and abide by all MCC safety and security policy and procedures while on MCC premises, and satisfy applicable requirements for fitness to perform work for or on behalf of MCC, personnel security, and obtaining an MCC Photo Identification (ID) Badge.

2. MCC may impose applicable criminal, civil and/or administrative sanctions, including removal, suspension, termination or suspension of access to information, information systems, or MCC facilities, against any PSC or contractor employee who fails to adequately protect classified national security information or sensitive information, including such information designated as Controlled Unclassified Information, from unauthorized disclosure. The sanctions imposed are under the authority of the applicable laws, regulations, Government-wide and MCC policies.

B. PSC and Contract Employee Fitness and MCC Photo ID Badge Requirements

1. The following are requirements for a PSC or contractor employee who works under this contract and requires access to any of the following: MCC Headquarters, MCCNet, Sensitive But Unclassified (SBU), Foreign Government Information (FGI) or any other designated sensitive information (such as classified national security information and Controlled Unclassified Information under 32 CFR Part 2002).

a. Such an individual must be:

i. A U.S. citizen or have Permanent Resident Status in the U.S;

ii. Screened for fitness to work for or on behalf of MCC;

iii. Determined by MCC to be fit to work for or on behalf of MCC; and

iv. Determined eligible to be issued an MCC Photo Identification Badge.

b. In addition, if the individual is not a U.S. citizen for or in a position designated as moderate or high risk (i.e., a public trust position), the individual must have been residing, working and/or attending an educational institution in the U.S. for at least three, years.

c. MCC may allow such an individual to perform services under this contract based on: (1) a favorable suitability/fitness screening as an interim fitness determination, and (2) a favorable interim credentialing determination for issuance of an MCC Photo ID Badge, as applicable. An interim fitness determination does not satisfy requirement a. iii.) of this paragraph, and an interim credentialing determination does not satisfy requirement a. iv.) of this paragraph.

d. An investigation for an individual's fitness will be required to satisfy requirement a. iii.) except whenever the individual already has an investigation on file that meets the requirements for an investigation based on all applicable position designation(s) for the individual that satisfies/satisfy guidelines issued by the Suitability and Credentialing Executive Agent (SuitCredEA), the Security Executive Agent (SecEA) and the individual has been working for or on behalf of a Federal agency continuously for at least one year in one or more Federal positions or as a contractor employee that was/were subject to suitability or fitness investigation satisfying guidelines issued by the Suitability and Credential Executive Agent. However, no exception to the investigation requirement will be granted whenever MCC obtains new information in connection with the individuals that calls into question the individual's fitness under the criteria for suitability in 5 CFR 731.202. The investigation required will be based on position designation performed by MCC in accordance with 5 CFR 731 and 5 CFR 1400.

2. PSCs and contractor employees for or in public trust positions are subject to reinvestigation for fitness within the timeframe specified by the SuitCredEA.

3. A PSC or contractor employee whose position risk designation increases due to reassignment or change in job duties or responsibilities, is subject to the fitness investigation requirements for the higher risk position at the time the position designation is changed. If the position with the higher risk designation is the same one occupied by the individual, the individual may remain in the position while the investigation is being conducted; otherwise, the individual may not perform services under this contract in the new capacity until the requirements of B.1. of this clause are satisfied. Any upgrade in the investigation required for the new risk level will be initiated by MCC within 14 calendar days of the reassignment or change in job duties or responsibilities.

4. Fitness determinations will be made by MCC using the criteria and guidelines for making suitability determinations in 5 CFR 731.202 and related guidelines of the SuitCredEA. When no new investigation is required, MCC may determine an individual unfit when the investigative record on file for the individual shows conduct that is incompatible with the core duties of the relevant position by applying the criteria and guidelines referenced in this paragraph.

5. If a PSC or contractor employee develops one or more issues with respect to the criteria in 5 CFR 731.202 prior to any required investigation or reinvestigation, MCC may conduct an investigation at any time sufficient to resolve the issues and determine the individual's fitness to work for or on behalf of MCC.

6. Interim and final determinations on eligibility to be issued a MCC Photo ID Badge will be made by MCC based on the SuitCredEA's criteria in "Final Credentialing Standards for Issuing Personal Identity Verification Cards" or it latest successor.

7. Contractor, including any PSC, is required to have all affected personnel complete appropriate security forms, including a signed Personal Information Request Form (PIRF) and a signed form OF 306 Declaration for Federal Employment, which are to be signed and faxed to MCC DIS at 202-521-3590. Candidates for PSC positions must also include a copy of their resume in the fax transmission that includes the PIRF and OF 306. In addition, individuals subject to fitness investigation or reinvestigation must complete a Standard Form 85P or 85P-S (as specified by MCC Domestic and International Security (DIS)) and related signature releases, supplemental forms; and submit to fingerprint imaging within seven (7) days after receiving a DIS e-mail request for the documents. MCC DIS will provide the necessary forms, which must be submitted using an on-line system on the Internet. (Also see "Contract Award" below.)

8. MCC Photo ID Badges will only be issued to individuals determined eligible to be issued one and who attend a scheduled MCC Orientation Program and Security Briefing.

9. Whenever MCC determines an individual is unfit or ineligible to be issued a MCC Photo ID Badge, the Contracting Officer (CO) or CO's Representative (COR) will notify the contractor's contractual point of contact (POC) in writing of the decision and, whenever applicable, that accesses to MCC facilities and information systems have been terminated. Subsequent to issuance of these notifications, contractors are required to provide MCC a suitable replacement; and PSCs and contractors are responsible, whenever applicable, for the return of the subject individual's MCC Photo ID Badge and any MCC equipment that was issued to the individual.

C. Personnel Security Requirements for PSCs Paid Directly by MCC

1. PSCs directly paid by MCC without interim national security eligibility granted by MCC or national security eligibility at least at the level required for the position, duties, or work activities specified as requiring such eligibility, including that for access to classified national security information, by this contract are prohibited from rendering services under this contract.

2. MCC will determine national security eligibility for all PSCs to whom MCC makes direct payments for services rendered and whose position requires such eligibility as approved by the appropriate MCC department vice president-level executive.

MCC will: (1) make eligibility determinations based on a background investigation that meets the requirements issued by the SecEA; (2) determine whether a previously-performed investigation satisfies the investigative requirements using guidelines issued by the Office of Management and Budget or the SecEA; and (3) adjudicate personnel security background investigations or any other information related to determining national security eligibility using the criteria in Security Executive Agent Directive 4, National Security Adjudicative Guidelines, or its latest successor.

3. A PSC granted national security eligibility by MCC is subject to a personnel security reinvestigation by MCC within the timeframe specified by the SecEA.

4. MCC may at any time perform a personnel security reinvestigation of a PSC to whom it has granted national security eligibility.

5. MCC may administratively withdraw national security eligibility it has granted whenever it determines such eligibility is no longer needed. MCC may administratively downgrade a Top Secret security clearance holder's clearance to Secret whenever it determines the holder no longer needs access to Top Secret information.

6. Whenever a personnel security investigation or reinvestigation is required, PSCs and PSC candidates will submit to MCC DIS, personnel security background investigation forms, including a PIRF, OF 306, a copy of their resume, a Questionnaire for National Security Positions (SF 86), signature releases and supplemental forms, and submit to fingerprint imaging used to access reports from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and other national databases.

7. In exceptional circumstances MCC may grant interim national security eligibility with access to classified information at the Secret level to a PSC directly paid by MCC while a personnel security background investigation is in progress based on favorable adjudication of previously-completed personnel security investigations or reinvestigations, the PSC's OF 306, resume, SF 86 submission, and any other relevant information.

8. MCC will not grant national security eligibility to any individual determined ineligible to be issued a MCC Photo ID Badge or unfit.

9. PSCs to whom MCC grants national security eligibility will not be issued a security clearance and, consequently, will not be permitted access to classified information, until the individual attends an MCC Security Clearance Briefing and signs a…
