1.1. Description of Services: The Contractor shall provide qualified personnel and supplies, necessary to support FS and Logistics Training, and all related functions as defined in this PWS except for those items specified as Government Provided in Part 3 of this PWS. The Contractor shall perform to the standards in this PWS and the resulting contract. Specific tasks are outlined in Part 5.

1.1.1. FS and Logistics Training: The Contractor shall provide training as scheduled and may be presented afloat and/or ashore. Training may be conducted in the Continental United States (excludes Alaska and Hawaii) (CONUS) or Outside the Continental United States (includes Alaska and Hawaii) (OCONUS). Training may be conducted in-person or virtually, as determined by the Government.

1.2. Background: MSC is the owner and operator of more than 110 Government Owned Government Operated (GOGO) ships and Government Owned Contractor Operated (GOCO) ships manned by Civilian Mariners (CIVMARs) and other merchant mariners/Contracted Mariners (CONMARs) and is responsible for ensuring the operational readiness of those ships throughout their active service period. Each shipboard supply department plays an important role in the overall MSC ship operations and provides key services to fully execute a supply department onboard. Some examples of these services are FS and Logistics operations, Supply Configuration Management (SCM), Combat Logistics Force (CLF) functions, FS and Hotel/Laundry operations, and Continuous Monitoring Program (CMP) overseeing all supply functions. MSC N4 is preparing a reorganization which will result in renaming/merging of divisions that may change those listed below. To a great degree, MSC’s ability to successfully execute its world-wide mission is dependent on effective and timely training of MSC personnel, ashore and afloat, and execution of CMP and FS programs, ship assessments, inspections, and training.

1.2.1. N41 Logistics Operations’ Division: N41 provides management and oversight for execution of all afloat Supply Department programs and policies including: (1) T-AH Medical Treatment Facility (MTF) Supply Department operations; (2) oversight of ship’s Husbanding Services Program (HSP) and other waterfront services provided by Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) Fleet Logistics Centers (FLCs) world-wide; (3) Quality of Life (QoL) and Branch Exchange operations; (4) Hazardous Material (HAZMAT) Management; (5) Logistics Plans Management; (6) Afloat Fitness Equipment Program; (7) Afloat CIVMAR Supply Department Community Management; (8) Navy Type Commander (TYCOM) Oversight and Assistance world-wide; and (9) CMP to support and assist the Logistics Director in providing associated MSC policies, quality management procedures, and automated system functional requirements.

1.2.2. N43 FS Management Division: N43 provides management and oversight of: (1) Afloat FS Programs, Policies, Business Processes, Budgets, and ashore and afloat FS Software Requirements; (2) Afloat CIVMAR FS Community Management; (3) Navy TYCOM Oversight and Assistance world-wide;

(4) FS Operations Shipboard Design/Equipment Requirements; (5) Department of Defense (DoD) Liaison for United Seamen’s Service (USS); and (6) CMP to support and assist the Logistics Director in providing associated MSC policies, quality management procedures, and automated system functional requirements.

1.2.3. N46 CLF Load Management Division: N46 provides management and oversight of: (1) CLF Load Management Program Management (PM) in accordance with (IAW) U.S. Fleet Forces (USFF) and Commander Pacific Fleet (COMPACFLT) Concept of Operations (CONOPS) for CLF fleet sustainment support; (2) assistance to the Logistics Director in providing logistics policy, quality management procedures, and systems that support global management of Navy Working Capital Fund (NWCF)/Defense Working Capital Fund (DWCF) Consolidated Afloat Requisitioning Guide Overseas (CARGO) inventories onboard CLF units; (3) coordination with MSC subordinate commands and Fleet supporting/supported stakeholders; (4) oversight of execution of the Fleet’s CLF Load Management Business Model; and (5) CMP to support and assist the Logistics Director in providing associated MSC policies, quality management procedures, and automated system functional requirements.

1.3. Objectives: The Contractor will carry out the work and tasks required as outlined in this PWS to provide the Government with the qualified personnel and supplies necessary to support FS and Logistics Training.

1.4. Scope: The Contractor shall provide an effective, accessible, responsive, and high-quality training program to increase and maintain the professional knowledge and skills of MSC’s workforce. The Contractor will provide educational support services for the professional development of MSC employees – civilian employees, contracted employees, military (active and reserve personnel), CIVMARs, and other merchant mariners/CONMARs, afloat and ashore.

Primary training location is Norfolk, Va. Logistics Training/FSM ShipCLIP courses will shift to San Diego classroom during Norfolk classroom rehabilitation (approximately APR-JUN 2024). Student demand signal dictates location and historical data (2022/2023) provides a reasonably accurate depiction of course locations with minimal use of San Diego classroom.

1.4.1. Staffing Plan: The Contractor shall provide a staffing plan submitted no later than the last day of the Phase-In period, for Government approval, that shall address the Contractor’s integrated staffing, training of staff, and action plan that clearly demonstrates its ability to perform all elements of this PWS, associated publications, and the resulting contract.

During the Phase In period, the Awardee/Incoming (AC) Contractor shall learn current processes, procedures, and become familiar with performance requirements in order to commence full uninterrupted performance of services on the last day of the Incumbent/ Outgoing (IC) Contractor’s PoP. The IC and AC Contractors’ transition efforts will run concurrently. The purpose of the transition period is to allow sufficient time for the IC and AC Contractors to complete all actions necessary for turnover and required to facilitate continuity of services. CDRL A10 applies.

1.6.7.1 Phase In Period: The Phase In period allows the AC Contractor to assume accountability and transfer of functions from the IC Contractor. The Contractor Phase In period is 30 calendar days.

The Phase In period starts 30 days prior to the AC taking over full performance of the contract duties and ends on the expiration of the IC Contractor’s contract. The AC Contractor is not required to provide contract deliverables during this timeframe.

The IC shall participate in the AC’s post award meeting with the Government to discuss the transition period. The list below, while not all inclusive, contains examples of items necessary to facilitate turnover from the IC to the AC.

CDRL A10 applies.

Staffing Issues:

Transfer of employee access identification from the IC to the AC [e.g., IC personnel Common Access Cards (CACs), base access]. Attachments 11A/11B and CDRL A09 apply. Note: The transfer of identification such as CACs, ships access to AC does NOT determine responsibility of employee to Contractor. This is a tool offered to the AC to assist in continuity of support to Warfighters.

Set up IT accounts [e.g., system of record, Shipboard Configuration & Logistics Information Program (ShipCLIP), Navy/Marine Corps Intranet (NMCI), etc.].

Transfer of all data and metadata must be completed 30 calendar days prior to the contract expiration of the IC’s contract.

Occupancy Turnover Plan:
