3. Five Year Ordering Period:

4. Scope. Work under this PWS will consist of the effort required to provide NCTAMS LANT leased telecommunications services as listed in Attachment 1 – Pricing Spreadsheet; at Navy sites listed in paragraph 2.

Task 1: Provide basic dial-tone service (Business Lines).

Task 2: Provide 1.544Mb (T1) point to point circuits.

Task 3: Provide Primary Rate Interface (PRI) circuits.

Task 4: Provide Metro-E - Fast Ethernet service. The following levels of service are required 10 Mbps, 30Mbps, 50Mbps, and 100Mbps speeds.

Task 5: Installation of new services (Non-Recurring Cost) as required. Installation of new services, if required, will be identified in individual task orders.

5. General Requirements:

5.1 The contractor shall provide the telecommunications requirement as defined in paragraph 4. Specific requirements are identified in Attachment 2 -List of Services Details.

5.2 Availability: The contractor shall provide an average circuit and PRI availability of at least 99.9% for those portions of circuits that are not government provided (i.e., government copper or fiber pairs provided to permit the extension of a circuit from a base demark to the service delivery point). Availability will be calculated by averaging data for up to ten circuits with the individual circuit availability derived by dividing total up time by total time for the period measured.

5.3 Approvals and Permits: The contractor/telecommunications provider (TP) is responsible for obtaining all approvals and permits necessary to provide this service. Inability of contractor/TP to obtain any such approvals or permits shall not be a valid reason for not meeting service dates or performance metrics. Failure of a contractor/TP to obtain any approval or permit necessary to provide this service may result in a termination of this contract by Government for default at no cost to Government and/or receipt of a negative past performance rating.

5.4 Scheduled Outages: The contractor shall utilize approved alternate or spare facilities whenever possible to eliminate or minimize scheduled service interruptions. In the event that a scheduled service interruption cannot be avoided, contractor/TP shall obtain approval from NCTAMS LANT External Support Department (ESD) or site base communications office (BCO), before initiating any scheduled outage. To obtain approval, a written “circuit release request” must be submitted to the appropriate BCO, no later than 21 calendar days prior to requested circuit release date. When an interruption of service is required to correct hazardous or degraded conditions the contractor must submit an emergency request stating the hazardous condition and obtain acknowledgement/response by the ESD or BCO official, 48-hours prior to the event. The request from contractor/TP must include the information as identified in paragraph 5.6 and the contractor must identify the hazardous or degraded conditions that exist which preclude providing the U.S. Government with 21-day advance notice.

5.5 In emergency situations when loss of life or property is at risk the contractor is authorized to take immediate action. Contractor/TP must make every reasonable attempt to notify the Government points of contact and coordinate arrangements for the service interruption to the maximum extent possible. Within 5 business days of an emergency interruption, contractor/TP must submit circuit release request to the ESD or BCO official (after –the-event) and identify the emergency conditions that existed which precluded providing the Government with 21-day advance notice.

5.6 Circuit Release Request must include following information:

· Contractor/TP Requesting circuit release and name and phone number of contractor/TP representative responsible for managing circuit release.

· Order number of circuit for which release is being requested.

· Date and inclusive times of scheduled circuit release, along with an alternate circuit release date and time.

· Purpose of scheduled circuit release.

· Statement indicating all equipment, parts, and/or supplies required to complete action are on-hand, or their expected delivery date.

· Statement indicating all avenues alternate facilities, spare facilities that are available.

· Estimated maximum recovery time to restore circuit. Failure of contractor/TP to obtain an approved circuit release prior to initiating a scheduled outage may result in Government termination of this contract for default at no cost to Government and/or receipt of a negative performance rating.

5.7 Restoral Maintenance: Response requirements are defined below. The site BCO can change response requirements from emergency to routine and required response times.

Commercial business lines are defined as routine services. All other contractor provided services are defined as priority services.

Response Time/Routine Outage Call: The contractor shall undertake remote troubleshooting within two (2) hours of receipt of notification of outage. If not cleared remotely, the contractor shall perform on-site troubleshooting not later than the next business day. The site contracting officer, contracting officer representative or alternate (KO/COR/ACOR) can provide relief from the next day on-site requirement based on user’s operational impact.

Priority Outage/Call: The contractor shall undertake remote troubleshooting within one (1) hour of receipt of notification of outage. If not cleared remotely, the contractor shall perform on-site troubleshooting not later than four (4) hours if the outage is limited to a single circuit. When an entire base or command is without service, the contractor shall respond the same day. The KO/COR/ACOR can provide relief from the same day on-site requirement based on user’s operational impact.

5.8 Trouble Reporting : The contractor shall provide a 24/7 Trouble Ticket reporting telephone line in which the repair tickets for services identified in this PWS are opened, tracked or updated.

6. Material and Equipment:

Contractor Furnished Material/Equipment: The contractor shall provide all materials required to deliver telecommunication services at each designated location.

13. CONTRACTOR UNCLASSIFIED ACCESS TO FEDERALLY CONTROLLED FACILITIES, SENSITIVE INFORMATION, INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (IT) SYSTEMS OR PROTECTED HEALTH INFORMATION

Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD)-12, requires government agencies to develop and implement Federal security standards for Federal employees and contractors. The Deputy Secretary of Defense Directive-Type Memorandum (DTM) 08-006 – “DoD Implementation of Homeland Security Presidential Directive – 12 (HSPD-12)” dated November 26, 2008 (or its subsequent DoD instruction) directs implementation of HSPD-12. This clause is in accordance with HSPD-12 and its implementing directives.

APPLICABILITY

This clause applies to contractor employees requiring physical access to any area of a federally controlled base, facility or activity and/or requiring access to a DoN or DoD computer/network/system to perform certain unclassified sensitive duties. This clause also applies to contractor employees who access Privacy Act and Protected Health Information, provide support associated with fiduciary duties, or perform duties that have been identified by DON as National Security Position, as advised by the command security manager. It is the responsibility of the responsible security officer of the command/facility where the work is performed to ensure compliance.

Each contractor employee providing services at a Navy Command under this contract is required to obtain a Department of Defense Common Access Card (DoD CAC). Additionally, depending on the level of computer/network access, the contract employee will require a successful investigation as detailed below.

ACCESS TO FEDERAL FACILITIES

Per HSPD-12 and implementing guidance, all contractor employees working at a federally controlled base, facility or activity under this clause will require a DoD CAC. When access to a base, facility or activity is required contractor employees shall in-process with the Command’s Security Manager upon arrival to the Command and shall out-process prior to their departure at the completion of the individual’s performance under the contract.

ACCESS TO DOD IT SYSTEMS

In accordance with SECNAV M-5510.30, contractor employees who require access to DoN or DoD networks are categorized as IT-I, IT-II, or IT-III. The IT-II level, defined in detail in SECNAV M-5510.30, includes positions which require access to information protected under the Privacy Act, to include Protected Health Information (PHI). All contractor employees under this contract who require access to Privacy Act protected information are therefore categorized no lower than IT-II. IT Levels are determined by the requiring activity’s Command Information Assurance Manager.

Contractor employees requiring privileged or IT-I level access, (when specified by the terms of the contract) require a Single Scope Background Investigation (SSBI) or T5 or T5R equivalent investigation, which is a higher level investigation than the National Agency Check with Law and Credit (NACLC)/T3/T3R described below. Due to the privileged system access, an investigation suitable for High Risk national security positions is required. Individuals who have access to system control, monitoring, or administration functions (e.g. system administrator, database administrator) require training and certification to Information Assurance Technical Level 1, and must be trained and certified on the Operating System or Computing Environment they are required to maintain.

Access to sensitive IT systems is contingent upon a favorably adjudicated background investigation. When access to IT systems is required for performance of the contractor employee’s duties, such employees shall in-process with the Navy Command’s Security Manager and Information Assurance Manager upon arrival to the Navy command and shall out-process prior to their departure at the completion of the individual’s performance under the contract. Completion and approval of a System Authorization Access Request Navy (SAAR-N) form is required for all individuals accessing Navy Information Technology resources. The decision to authorize access to a government IT system/network is inherently governmental. The contractor supervisor is not authorized to sign the SAAR-N; therefore, the government employee with knowledge of the system/network access required or the COR shall sign the SAAR-N as the “supervisor”.

The SAAR-N shall be forwarded to the Command’s Security Manager at least 30 days prior to the individual’s start date. Failure to provide the required documentation at least 30 days prior to the individual’s start date may result in delaying the individual’s start date.

When required to maintain access to required IT systems or networks, the contractor shall ensure that all employees requiring access complete annual Information Assurance (IA) training, and maintain a current requisite background investigation. The Contractor’s Security Representative shall contact the Command Security Manager for guidance when reinvestigations are required.

INTERIM ACCESS

The Command's Security Manager may authorize issuance of a DoD CAC and interim access to a DoN or DoD unclassified computer/network upon a favorable review of the investigative questionnaire and advance favorable fingerprint results. When the results of the investigation are received and a favorable determination is not made, the contractor employee working on the contract under interim access will be denied access to the computer network and this denial will not relieve the contractor of his/her responsibility to perform.

DENIAL OR TERMINATION OF ACCESS

The potential consequences of any requirement under this clause including denial or termination of physical or system access in no way relieves the contractor from the requirement to execute performance under the contract within the timeframes specified in the contract. Contractors shall plan ahead in processing their employees and subcontractor employees. The contractor shall insert this clause in all subcontracts when the subcontractor is permitted to have unclassified access to a federally controlled facility, federally-controlled information system/network and/or to government information, meaning information not authorized for public release.

CONTRACTOR’S SECURITY REPRESENTATIVE

The contractor shall designate an employee to serve as the Contractor’s Security Representative. Within three work days after contract award, the contractor shall provide to the requiring activity’s Security Manager and the Contracting Officer, in writing, the name, title, address and phone number for the Contractor’s Security Representative. The Contractor’s Security Representative shall be the primary point of contact on any security matter. The Contractor’s Security Representative shall not be replaced or removed without prior notice to the Contracting Officer and Command Security Manager.

BACKGROUND INVESTIGATION REQUIREMENTS AND SECURITY APPROVAL PROCESS FOR CONTRACTORS ASSIGNED TO NATIONAL SECURITY POSITIONS OR PERFORMING SENSITIVE DUTIES Navy security policy requires that all positions be given a sensitivity value based on level of risk factors to ensure appropriate protective measures are applied. Contractor employees under this contract are recognized as Non-Critical Sensitive [ADP/IT-II] positions when the contract scope of work require physical access to a federally controlled base, facility or activity and/or requiring access to a DoD computer/network, to perform unclassified sensitive duties. This designation is also applied to contractor employees who access Privacy Act and Protected Health Information (PHI), provide support associated with fiduciary duties, or perform duties that have been identified as National Security Positions. At a minimum, each contractor employee must be a US citizen and have a favorably completed NACLC or T3 or T3R equivalent investigation to obtain a favorable determination for assignment to a non-critical sensitive or IT-II position. The investigation consists of a standard NAC and a FBI fingerprint check plus law enforcement checks and credit check. Each contractor employee filling a non-critical sensitive or IT-II position is required to complete:

· SF-86 Questionnaire for National Security Positions (or equivalent OPM investigative product)

· Two FD-258 Applicant Fingerprint Cards (or an electronic fingerprint submission)

· Original Signed Release Statements

Failure to provide the required documentation at least 30 days prior to the individual’s start date shall result in delaying the individual’s start date. Background investigations shall be reinitiated as required to ensure investigations remain current (not older than 10 years) throughout the contract performance period. The Contractor’s Security Representative shall contact the Command Security Manager for guidance when reinvestigations are required.

Regardless of their duties or IT access requirements ALL contractor employees shall in-process with the Command’s Security Manager upon arrival to the command and shall out-process prior to their departure at the completion of the individual’s performance under the contract. Employees requiring IT access shall also check-in and check-out with the Navy Command’s Information Assurance Manager. Completion and approval of a System Authorization Access Request Navy (SAAR-N) form is required for all individuals accessing Navy Information Technology resources. The SAAR-N shall be forwarded to the Navy Command’s Security Manager at least 30 days prior to the individual’s start date. Failure to provide the required documentation at least 30 days prior to the individual’s start date shall result in delaying the individual’s start date.

The contractor shall ensure that each contract employee requiring access to IT systems or networks complete annual Information Assurance (IA) training, and maintain a current requisite background investigation. Contractor employees shall accurately complete the required investigative forms prior to submission to the Command Security Manager. The Command’s Security Manager will review the submitted documentation for completeness prior to submitting it to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM); Potential suitability or security issues identified may render the contractor employee ineligible for the assignment. An unfavorable determination is final (subject to SF-86 appeal procedures) and such a determination does not relieve the contractor from meeting any contractual obligation under the contract. The Command’s Security Manager will forward the required forms to OPM for processing. Once the investigation is complete, the results will be forwarded by OPM to the DOD Central Adjudication Facility (CAF) for a determination.

If the contractor employee already possesses a current favorably adjudicated investigation, the contractor shall submit a Visit Authorization Request (VAR) via the Joint Personnel Adjudication System (JPAS) or a hard copy VAR directly from the contractor’s Security Representative. Although the contractor will take JPAS “Owning” role over the contractor employee, the Navy Command will take JPAS "Servicing" role over the contractor employee during the hiring process and for the duration of assignment under that contract. The contractor shall include the IT Position Category per SECNAV M-5510.30 for each employee designated on a VAR. The VAR requires annual renewal for the duration of the employee’s performance under the contract.

BACKGROUND INVESTIGATION REQUIREMENTS AND SECURITY APPROVAL PROCESS FOR CONTRACTORS ASSIGNED TO OR PERFORMING NON-SENSITIVE DUTIES Contractor employee whose work is unclassified and non-sensitive (e.g., performing certain duties such as lawn maintenance, vendor services, etc..) and who require physical access to publicly accessible areas to perform those duties shall meet the following minimum requirements:

· Must be either a US citizen or a US permanent resident with a minimum of 3 years legal residency in the United States (as required by The Deputy Secretary of Defense DTM 08-006 or its subsequent DoD instruction) and

· Must have a favorably completed National Agency Check with Written Inquiries (NACI) or T1 investigation equivalent including a FBI fingerprint check prior to installation access.

To be considered for a favorable trustworthiness determination, the Contractor’s Security Representative must submit for all employees each of the following:

· SF-85 Questionnaire for Non-Sensitive Positions

· Two FD-258 Applicant Fingerprint Cards (or an electronic fingerprint submission)

· Original Signed Release Statements

The contractor shall ensure each individual employee has a current favorably completed National Agency Check with Written Inquiries (NACI) or T1 investigation equivalent, or ensure successful FBI fingerprint results have been gained and investigation has been processed with OPM.

Failure to provide the required documentation at least 30 days prior to the individual’s start date may result in delaying the individual’s start date.

* Consult with your Command Security Manager and Information Assurance Manager for local policy when IT-III (non-sensitive) access is required for non-US citizens outside the United States.

(3) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the offer wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel.

(4) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(5) Offers may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers. Oral offers in response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally. If the solicitation authorizes facsimile offers, offers may be withdrawn via facsimile received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers, subject to the conditions specified in the solicitation concerning facsimile offers. An offer may be withdrawn in person by an offeror or its authorized representative if, before the exact time set for receipt of offers, the identity of the person requesting withdrawal is established and the person signs a receipt for the offer.

(g) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

(h) Multiple awards. The Government may accept any item or group of items of an offer, unless the offeror qualifies the offer by specific limitations. Unless otherwise provided in the Schedule, offers may not be submitted for quantities less than those specified. The Government reserves the right to make an award on any item for a quantity less than the quantity offered, at the unit prices offered, unless the offeror specifies otherwise in the offer.

(k) System for Award Management. Unless exempted by an addendum to this solicitation, by submission of an offer, the offeror acknowledges the requirement that a prospective awardee shall be registered in the SAM database prior to award, during performance and through final payment of any contract resulting from this solicitation. If the Offeror does not become registered in the SAM database in the time prescribed by the Contracting Officer, the Contracting Officer will proceed to award to the next otherwise successful registered Offeror.
