PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

Performance Work Statement (PWS) for NAVSUP Strategic Transformation (NST)

Contract 16 December 2020

1.0 Introduction:

The NAVSUP mission is to provide supplies, services, and quality-of-life support to the

Navy and Joint warfighter; NAVSUP manages supply chains that provide material for

Navy aircraft, surface ships, submarines and their associated weapons systems. NAVSUP provides centralized inventory management for Navy's non-nuclear ordnance stockpile.

In addition, NAVSUP provides a wide range of base operating and waterfront logistics support services, coordinating material deliveries, contracting for supplies and services, and providing material management and warehousing services.

For the Navy Supply Chains to operate efficiently and effectively, improvements are needed to better achieve End to End (E2E) supply chain orchestration, integration, and synchronization of operations, activities and investments of all stakeholders. As such, NAVSUP and other Department of the Navy (DON) commands have endeavored on a number of large, complex transformational initiatives to address these challenges.

2.0 Background:

2.1 Recent Events: Beginning in 2017, NAVSUP began a journey of reform transformation to review and transform the internal NAVSUP supply chain efficiencies. This was in line with the Presidential and Department of Defense transformations. This transformation has made various achievements such as a

20% reduction of the most critical orders; achieving a Mission Capability for the

F/A-18 of 341; reaching the lowest levels in aviation critical backorders in 10 years; and an overall reduction in unfilled customer requirements of 12%. Many of these achievements were accomplished by increasing supply chain investments in wholesale and retail stock levels and intermediate and depot-level aviation maintenance.

In Fall 2020, Navy leadership launched NSS-Supply, a cross-functional and cross command, strategic scale supply chain reform. The NSS-Supply will be governed by a steering committee co-chaired by the VCNO. It will bring together all key supply chain leaders in order to elevate strategic supply chain decision making and increase visibility and accountability to enhance supply chain performance.

NAVSUP, as the supported commander of NSS-Supply, will be responsible for framing the key strategic supply chain decisions, presenting decision points to leadership, and orchestrating implementation efforts across the supporting commands. In this way, NSS-Supply will coordinate the system and drive higher supply chain performance.

2.2 Requiring Organization: The organization requiring the services outlined in the

Performance Work Statement (PWS) is:

Naval Supply Systems Command

Naval Supply Activity (NSA) Mechanicsburg, Suite 309

5450 Carlisle Pike Bldg 409

NAVSUP and other DON commands to obtain strategic contractor support services to further address the challenges affecting the Navy Supply Chain.

3.1 Major Engagement Areas: Task orders issues will focus on provision of contractor services to support the achievement and implementation of strategic level transformation initiatives as follows:

Optimize Working Capital Fund Allocations, 4) Shape Industrial Base, 5)

Expand Organic Repair and 6) Increase E2E velocity.

3.1.2 Perform to Plan (P2P) Logistics: P2P Logistics is the most recent instance of P2P Navy initiatives. P2P Logistics is focused on the supply chain performance starting with the supplier and continuing through transportation, proper positioning and distribution. It is focused on understanding and reducing the Logistics Response Time as its key driver metric.

3.1.3 Supply Chain and Logistics Technology: The Enterprise Information

Technology that directly support the Navy’s supply chain are managed and operated in a way that affect NAVSUP’s and other DON command’s abilities to fulfill their Mission(s).

3.1.4 NAVSUP/DON Enterprise Transformations: NAVSUP and other DON commands continue to improve and look for greater efficiency and effectiveness in fulfilling its mission. As the Navy continues to improve and change, NAVSUP and other DON commands need to be ready to transform to be what the Navy needs.

3.2 Scope of Services: The scope also allows ancillary services in support of those objectives. Transformational tasks include but are not limited to:

• Strategic Development and Planning

• Improve Operational effectiveness and performance

4.0 Deliverables: All deliverables must meet the format requirements specified at the task order by the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR). Documentation related to these services shall be made available electronically.

5.0 Ordering Period: The ordering period for this PWS will be from the Date of Award

Mechanicsburg, PA. The place of performance is determined by the contractor.

The government does not intend to provide government furnished property unless deemed necessary for successful task order performance.

Mechanicsburg, PA

Philadelphia, PA

Norfolk, VA

Patuxent River, MD

7.0 Security:

7.1 General Guidelines: The clause is applicable to United States Nationals living in the U.S. or overseas who are performing work on a Navy contract. This clause does not apply to non-U.S. Nationals (foreign nationals) who are contactor employees performing work overseas.

The investigation of a non-U.S. national at a foreign location must be consistent with a NACI, to the extent possible, and include a fingerprint check against the

FBI criminal history database, an FBI investigations file (name check) search, and a name check against the terrorist screening database.

Also, the above cited reference notes that Foreign Nationals may not be granted

CAC Credentials until completion of their investigation and not in the interim.

Per DoD 5200.2-R, DoD Components must initiate and ensure completion of a background investigation before applying the credentialing standards to a non-

U.S. national at a foreign location. The background investigation must be favorably adjudicated before a CAC can be issued to a non-U.S. national at a foreign location. The type of background investigation may vary based on standing reciprocity treaties concerning identity assurance and information exchanges that exist between the U.S. and its allies or agency agreements with the host country.

8.0 Non-Disclosure Agreement and Organizational Conflict of Interest:

8.1 Non-Disclosure Agreement: The Business Sensitive Information Non-disclosure

Agreement may be required for this contract.

8.2 Organizational Conflict of Interest: Performance on any of the task orders awarded under the NAVSUP Strategic Transformation (NST) Support contract may, by definition in FAR 9.5, be an OCI as either an Impaired Objectivity or an Unfair Competitive

Advantage (unequal access to information) (OCI). Because the specifics of NST task orders are unknown it is impracticable to require an OCI plan at the IDIQ level; however, if vendors, either during the task order process, during performance of a task order, or at any other time, become aware of an OCI, they shall immediately inform the Contracting

Officer. The vendor should provide (in writing) the nature of the OCI and its potential impact. The Contracting Officer will then investigate the matter and determine if there is an OCI and, if there is, whether the Contracting Officer may take any measures to avoid, neutralize, or mitigate the OCI. Those measures may vary depending on the timing of the

OCI disclosure and may include submission of an OCI mitigation plan.

Note: If a vendor does not inform the Contracting officer of an OCI of which it has been made aware, the Contracting office may terminate the task order, may remove the vendor as a NST awardee, or take any other action deemed appropriate.
