PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

1.0 BACKGROUND:

The mission of the Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) Weapon Systems Support (WSS) is to provide support for weapons systems that keep naval forces mission ready.

2.0 SCOPE:

This requirement is for High-Impact (HI) Shock testing of commercial, diesel powered, boom lift, aerial work platforms (AWP). The AWP must meet the HI-Shock Grade B Navy testing requirements for stowage on Navy ships. The requirement for use aboard ship has been established as the AWP will be stored while the ship is at sea and use will be restricted to only when the ship is docked in port or at anchor. AWP must meet the HI-Shock test requirements outlined within this PWS.

The two AWP models aboard ships, Genie models Z-45/25J RT-4WD-T4F and S-65-4WD-T4F, will be used for maintenance task purposes when the ship is docked in port or at anchor. AWP will be used on the following ship classes:

· AWP Model S-65-4WD-T4F LPD - Amphibious Transport Dock LHA - Amphibious Assault Ship LHD - Amphibious Assault Ship

· AWP models Z-45/25J RT-4WD-T4F LSD - Landing Ship Dock

3.0 APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS:

The following documents of the issue in effect on the date of the request for proposal, unless otherwise specified, form a part of this PWS to the extent specified herein. When documents conflict, this PWS shall govern.

SECTION E “Inspection and Acceptance”

QUALITY ASSURANCE SURVEILLANCE PLAN

Purpose: To ensure that the Government has an effective and systematic method of surveillance for the services in the PWS. The QASP will be used primarily as a tool to verify that the contractor is performing all services required by the PWS in a timely, accurate and complete fashion.

1. Critical performance processes and requirements. Critical to the performance of High-Impact (HI) Shock Testing Services is the timely, accurate and thorough completion of all contract/task order requirements.

2. Performance Standards

a. Schedule - The due dates for deliverables and the actual accomplishment of the schedule will be assessed against original due dates and milestones established for the contract or task order(s).

b. Deliverables – The deliverables required to be submitted will be assessed against the specifications for the deliverables detailed in the contract/task order(s) and the Quality Control Plan (QCP), if required by the contract, for the required content, quality, timeliness, and accuracy.

c. Past Performance - In addition to any schedule, deliverables, and cost aspects of performance discussed above, pursuant to FAR 42.15, the Government will assess the contractor’s record of conforming to contract requirements and to standards of good workmanship, the contractor’s adherence to contract schedules including the administrative aspects of performance, the contractor’s history of reasonable and cooperative behavior and commitment to customer satisfaction, and the contractor’s business-like concern for the interest of the customer.

3. Surveillance methods: The primary methods of surveillance used to monitor performance of this contract will include, but not be limited to, random or planned sampling, periodic or inspection, and validated customer complaints.

4. Performance Measurement: Performance will be measured in accordance with the following table:

As Required for corrective actions.

(If required by the contract)

If performance is within acceptable levels, it will be considered to be satisfactory. If not, overall performance may be considered unsatisfactory.

Incentives/Disincentives:

The TPOC’s makes an annual report on Contractor Performance (CPARS or other annual report). The contractor’s failure to achieve satisfactory performance under the contract/task order, reflected in the TPOC’s annual report, may result in termination of the contract/task order and may also result in the loss of future Government contracts/task orders.

For each item that does not meet acceptable levels, the Government may issue a Contract Discrepancy Report (CDR). CDRs will be forwarded to the Contracting Officer with a copy sent to the contractor. The contractor must reply in writing within five (5) days of receipt identifying how future occurrences of the problem will be prevented. Based upon the contractor’s past performance and plan to solve the problem, the Contracting Officer will determine if any further action will be taken.

In accordance with the inspection of services provisions of the contract, the contractor will be incentivized to provide quality products in a timely manner since the Government can require the Contractor, at no additional cost, to replace or correct work that fails to meet contract requirements.

SECTION F “Deliveries or Performance”:

· All services shall be completed no later than 30 September 2019
