PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

1. SCOPE

This Performance Work Statement covers the Qualified Member of the Engine Department (QMED) training in support of Military Sealift Command’s (MSC) initiative to provide training for unlicensed Civilian Mariners (CIVMAR).

2. BACKGROUND

To provide Qualified Member of the Engine Department (QMED) training opportunity for unlicensed CIVMARs, training is to commence based on a base year and four option years. The QMED training is a career path for the unlicensed engineers. QMED consist of the following ratings endorsed by the United States Coast Guard (USCG): Fireman/Watertender (FOWT); Oiler; Junior Engineer; Electrician/Refrigerating Engineer;

and Pumpman/Machinist. On board Military Sealift Command (MSC)ships Civilian Mariners (CIVMARs) are able to safely operate engineering equipment based on their experience and training. Recognizing the diverse skill set needed by MSC and required by USCG it is imperative that we continue to fund QMED training requirements.

The purpose of this training is to allow MSC to have a pool of CIVMARs with critical skill sets in support of engineering functions, while meeting mandated USCG requirements referenced in the Code of Federal Regulations (46 CFR 12.501). Ultimately, it prepares individual mariners to work safely and successfully in MSC ships engineering department. Furthermore, this training opportunity will prepare CIVMARs to be efficient in utilizing the engineering resources on board MSC ships.
