1. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND INFORMATION

The Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) is leading the effort to modernize shore infrastructure and facilities using innovative building techniques.

The primary objective of this project is to develop documentation that results in updates to building criteria, standards, and requirements; updates to governing policy; and the development of related tools and techniques to enable a clear path to establishing Industrialized Construction as a functional capability for the U.S. Navy.

This scope of work builds on NAVFAC's ongoing Alternative Construction Method (ACM) efforts to think, act, and operate differently, including the adoption of new and innovative solutions to reduce project construction costs and increase the speed of delivering mission-ready facilities.

2. PROJECT SCOPE

To meet the objective, the following work will be provided by a contractor:

● Standards, Code, Compliance - Align current DoD and IC best practices related to codes/standards, develop IC-based guidelines, and ensure compliance through real-time tracking and commissioning protocols that reduce cost, reduce risk, improve quality, and support long-term asset performance.

● Industrialized Construction (IC), Strategy, Justification, Sustainment - Develop and communicate the business case and strategic implementation for IC as a sound, sustainable investment for DoD at all levels of NAVFAC, DoD, and relevant operational commands.

IC/ACM may include, but is not limited to, modular components, off-site prefabricated industrial construction, tension fabric structures, and pre-engineered metal or fiber reinforced panel buildings.

● Policy, Contracting & Acquisition Reform - Review and provide practical policy (and regulation) reforms that streamline procurement, acquisition/contracting, incentivize project performance, and integrate IC early into the budgeting and RFP frameworks

● Architectural/Engineering Platform & Digital Integration - A shared platform where a standardized kit of components, BIM workflows, and digital twins converge to provide design consistency, improve as-built accuracy, and general deployment efficiency.

● IC (ACM) Prototypes, Pilot Projects & Research - Rapid prototyping, project pilots, and research to inform and refine IC designs, engineering, construction, and operations.

These efforts serve as proof points to accelerate adoption and long-term IC scaling in

NAVFAC and to other branches.

● IC (ACM) Transition Mgmt, Training & Workforce Development - Comprehensive transition plans for system-wide engagement (Navy/Marine/etc. and Private) to solicit early input, generate near-term buy-in (traction), build partnerships, and teach the skills needed for long-term IC adoption that achieves the improved cost, speed, and performance set out by DoD leadership.

● IC Industrial Base Ecosystem Development - Industrialized construction requires a strong, portfolio-wide program that starts by shifting from a “project” to a “product” approach, and pairs with a robust IC private sector industrial base whose core strength is manufacturing and assembly (as opposed to onsite construction). Emphasis is placed on establishing and incentivizing a tiered industrial base, similar to the automotive industry, where Tier 3 output feeds Tier 2, which then feeds Tier 1 IC actors, thereby achieving system-wide interoperability, redundancy, and efficiency.

● Portfolio Mgmt, Offsite & Onsite Logistics - To unlock the benefits of IC at scale, NAVFAC needs portfolio-wide visibility and streamlined logistics practices. This section provides a framework for integrated scheduling, comparative milestone tracking, and standardized delivery protocols. These tools ensure faster project execution, improved oversight, and consistent performance across offsite and onsite phases.

● IC Program Governance - Establishing clear IC implementation KPIs that align with leadership objectives and timelines. This includes both near- and long-term roles and responsibilities for the implementation and sustainment team(s), as well as establishing a multi-year funding structure and commitment.

● IC Scaling - Institutionalize IC as a core NAFVAC capability by embedding IC-based principles into a scalable program (products, processes, and teams) that NAVFAC can apply across its portfolio (geographic and building typologies), and then extend it to its peer military branch partners (AFCEC, USACE, etc.).

9. PLACE OF PERFORMANCE

The Contractor shall perform work under this contract at the Contractor’s normal place of work or travel location as authorized by the COR and required to complete task performance. The

Contractor will take appropriate steps to ensure the security of their network is up-to-date and is sufficiently protected against viruses and malware. Most documents can be sent via e-mail or via the use of a file sharing/exchange system. Larger files will be sent electronically via Department of Defense Secure Access File Exchange (DoD SAFE).

10. GOVERNMENT POINTS OF CONTACT

The Government’s Points of Contact will be determined at the time of award.

Security Requirements

Security Eligibility Requirement

This effort will involve the Contractor to access and potentially populate information/material at the Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) level. All Contractor and Subcontractor employees gaining access to CUI must have a current (within the past 10 years) favorable Tier 1 or equivalent investigation or higher investigation prior to starting work on the contract. All service and support on this contract are required to be U.S. citizens and must be able to obtain and maintain favorable suitability of the aforementioned Personnel Security Investigation (PSI). Personnel not engaging with CUI are exempt from the aforementioned Personnel Security Investigation (PSI) requirement.

As this is an unclassified contract, NAVFAC EXWC Security will be responsible for ensuring contractors meet the PSI requirements. Some restricted areas may require higher PSI, contractor will comply with local site requirements as needed.

Contractor and Subcontractor personnel cannot begin work on the contract until written concurrence from the government security management office is obtained, stating that the employee has met the criteria to support this contract. In support of this requirement, the contractor shall submit a list reflecting all personnel working on the contract 14 days after the contract has been awarded. This list shall be updated as needed due to personnel changes.

The government retains the right to request removal of Contractor/Subcontractor personnel, who regardless of prior clearance or adjudication status whose actions, while assigned to this contract, are determined by the COR or government security management office to conflict with the interest of the government. If such a removal occurs, the Contractor shall assign qualified personnel, who is able to meet the criteria of this contract, to any vacancy.

The Contractor/Subcontractor shall report any personnel who are no longer working under this contract effort within 48 business hours to the Contracting Officers Representative (COR).

Logical and Physical Access

Contractors and Subcontractors may require logical or physical access to DoD installations and or

Navy Information Technology (IT) systems. Common Access Cards (CAC) will only be issued in accordance with DoDI-5200.46. Contractors shall submit required paperwork to the COR and all CAC issuances will be conducted by the government security management office. Contractor employees who do not require access to Navy IT systems or physical access to a single DoD installation will use the local defense Biometric Identification System (DBIDS). DBIDS processing is the responsibility of the Contractor.

If a Contractor/Subcontractor is already in possession of a CAC in support of another contract, they may retain the CAC until such a time as they no longer require it for that contracting effort. The Contractor/Subcontractor must still submit the required Contractor Eligibility Request vice a DD-1172-2 to the government security management office via the COR.

Once a contractor no longer requires CAC or DBIDS access in support of this contract, the

Contractor/Subcontractor shall mail the applicable card to NAVFAC EXWC via Command

Security Manager, 1000 23rd Ave, Port Hueneme, CA 93043 and email the COR the USPS tracking number, or return it to a local RAPIDS office.

Safeguarding Controlled Unclassified Information

The Contractor shall protect all CUI information per DoD 5200.01 volumes 1-3, DoD 5200.48, 32

CFR Part 117, and Navy Information Security Program manuals. Contractor/Subcontractor personnel shall not disclose and must safeguard procurement sensitive information, computer systems and data, privacy act data, and government personnel work products, which are obtained or generated in the performance under this contract. This includes but is not limited to electronic transmission of material.

Personnel shall adhere to the Privacy Act, Title 5 of the U.S. Code (USC), section 552a and applicable agency rules and regulations.

Contract and Subcontractor shall be held liable for all PII and CUI data breaches where it is culpable (e.g., unauthorized disclosure, contract proprietary information, social security numbers, etc.).

All contractors shall take the DoD Mandatory Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) Training every year and submit training certificate to the CORs. Link provided is:

https://securityawareness.usalearning.gov/cui/index.html
