STATEMENT OF WORK

NAVAL HISTORY & HERITAGE COMMAND

CONSERVATION BRANCH

SCOPE OF WORK

1.0 TASK

1.1 Task Title

ACQUISITION OF A PHENOM XL G2 (GENERATION 2) BENCHTOP SCANNING ELECTRON

MICROSCOPE WITH INTEGRATED ENERGY-DISPERSIVE SPECTROSCOPY AND SECONDARY

ELECTRON IMAGING FOR THE NAVAL HISTORY AND HERITAGE COMMAND CONSERVATION

BRANCH AT THE COLLECTION MANAGEMENT FACILITY RICHMOND BLDG 54

1.2 Definition of Need and Proposed Resolution

The Naval History & Heritage Command (NHHC) requires the acquisition of a Phenom XL G2 (generation 2) benchtop scanning electron microscope (SEM) with integrated Energy-Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS), Backscatter Electron Imaging (BSE), and Secondary Electron (SE) imaging capability for the elemental analysis and identification of materials comprising artifacts in the Navy’s collections as well as Nano-level and microscopic imaging of artifacts to inform conservation treatments. SEM or benchtop systems are becoming standard equipment in many conservation laboratories and reduces the valuable man-hours required to identify materials or need for contracting external analysis, thereby providing significant, indirect long-term cost savings.

Material characterization and identification is an essential function of the NHHC Conservation Branch. The artifacts within the NHHC collections are often complex and composed of mixed materials that are difficult to characterize, let alone identify. The Phenom SEM XL G2 system would identify materials through BSE and SE imaging magnification up to 200,000x (for better than 10 nanometer resolution), far beyond the range of conventional optical light microscopy, as well as performing elemental mapping through EDS to identify the elemental makeup of samples, which is especially useful for layered structures such as painted surfaces or for mixtures of materials such as metal alloys. The Phenom XL has an extra-large sample stage (100mm wide x 100mm long x 65mm tall), which, in addition to an infinite variety of prepared samples, could accommodate entire, intact, small artifacts for non-destructive analysis. An extended range motorized stage allows for the full utilization of this entire sample stage range.

A carbon coater is required to prevent charge buildup on non-conductive samples, such as epoxy-embedded paint cross-sections or organic samples, especially to allow for elemental mapping via EDS. A metallurgical sample holder is required for larger prepared samples. A vibration isolation platform is required to eliminate potentially disrupting vibrations transmitted via the floor, especially at the highest magnifications and to ensure accurate elemental mapping.

The system and components must be robust enough for the environmental conditions of the NHHC Collections Management Facility (CMF) Conservation Branch laboratory. The Phenom XL G2 SEM is the only desktop SEM to use a solid state crystal, (Cerium Hexaboride), which provides a tenfold electron advantage over conventional tungsten sources and has a fifteen to fifty times longer lifespan, requiring less maintenance or replacement over an estimated decade of operation. The system must include onsite training and 4 years of maintenance to ensure continuity of conservation laboratory operations.

1.3 Objectives

The goal of this effort is to acquire and have delivered one new Phenom XL G2 desktop Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) with integrated Energy-Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS), Backscatter Electron Imaging (BSE), and Secondary Electron (SE) imaging capability, as well as a data system and monitor for controlling the microscope with software for EDS elemental mapping. Installation and training are required to ensure safe and appropriate operation.

The acquisition and delivery of the equipment and an extended warranty period is anticipated to support the requirement for the continuation of operational functionality for requests for conservation science analytical work.

The contractor under this scope of work shall acquire the specific equipment listed below in Section 2.0, ship to NHHC’s CMF at DSCR.

THE FOLLOWING NAVSUP LOCAL TEXT IS HEREBY MADE PART OF THE

STATEMENT OF WORK/PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT.

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 text 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 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 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 equivalent investigation, 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.
