2.0 Scope. This Performance Work Statement (PWS) sets forth the requirements for providing “live-fire” Fire Fighting Training (FFT) and Damage Control Training (DCT) course(s) to Navy, NROTC and Coast Guard personnel in the Pacific Northwest (PACNORWEST) Fleet Concentration Area (FCA), in the WA area. The contractor will support the Surface Warfare Officers School (SWOS) in the performance of training services as defined herein. The training provided by the contractor shall be set forth under the requirements in Part 5.0. The course scope and learning objectives of the courses listed in paragraph 5.13 are identified in the Training Course Control Document (TCCD). The Course Master Schedule in the TCCD details all critical instruction in a training schedule. The training courses are designed to meet fleet and shipboard training requirements and shall not be tailored by the contractor to accommodate its instructional methods and strategies without approval from the Surface Warfare Officer’s School (SWOS). The requirement will include the courses identified herein and any future related courses within scope of this contract in support of SWSC Fire Fighting and Damage Control Training.

2.1 Purpose. This PWS addresses the instructional, operational, organizational and administrative tasks required in the performance of this contract. The contractor shall be required to work closely with Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (NAWCTSD) at Orlando, FL., Training Support Department (and the Contracting Officer Representative (COR)) in the performance of this contract.

2.2 Background. Current DoD firefighting training sites do not have the capacity to support US Navy, NROTC and Coast Guard training requirements. Therefore, SWSC has tasked NAWCTSD to contract for instructional support and training services in the delivery of Naval firefighting and damage control training courses in the PACNORWEST FCA area. This shall include fully qualified instructors and contractor personnel who are capable of providing the required instructional support, maintenance, training facilities and services associated with the delivery of the Navy FFT and DCT course(s) under the coordination of SWOS, NAWCTSD and the COR and/or Technical Point of Contact (TPOC).

2.3 Contract Management. The COR and TPOC under the cognizance of TSD PACNORWEST are responsible for technical management of this program. The COR will serve as the Contracting officer’s representative and handle any issues dealing with the contract and the TPOC will serve as the course(s) scheduler.

2.4 Period of Performance. The period of performance shall be for a period of five (5) years after contract award.

2.5 Personnel Requirements. Based on the number of students the contractor shall provide the stated number of instructors for each training course as stated in the course master schedule of the TCCD. In addition, the contractor shall provide all support personnel (management, emergency medical technician, maintenance, etc.) as required to provide the FFT and DCT in accordance with this PWS. Any personnel proposed to serve as substitutes and/or replacements shall meet the minimum qualifications (See Section 5.0) and be supported by a complete Instructor Training Jacket (ITJ). Instructor requirements are detailed in Part 7.

2.6 Facility Requirements. The contractors shall have a turnkey facility. The facility will be inspected by NAWCTSD, SWSC and NETC personnel prior to contact award to determine contractor responsibility and eligibility for award. This evaluation shall be done at minimum, every 2 years. Coordination with ESAMS will be performed by SWSC Training Site Director as the Contractor will not have direct access to ESAMS or ETRMS. During the duration of the contract, the contractor shall notify the Government of any modifications to the facility that may affect its evaluation by NETC (CDRL A004). Facility modifications may result in a re-evaluation by NETC.
