1.5.1 Quality Assurance: The Government shall evaluate the contractor’s performance under this contract in accordance with the Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan. This plan is primarily focused on what the Government must do to ensure that the contractor has performed in accordance with the performance standards. It defines how the performance standards will be applied, the frequency of surveillance, and the minimum acceptable defect rate(s).

1.5.2 Recognized Holidays. Generally, the contractor shall not be required to work nor will payment be made by the Government on holidays and administrative leave. In the event contractor personnel work during these periods, the Government will not provide reimbursement, outside of the regular labor rate for hours worked. This does not preclude the Contractor from providing holiday/premium time compensation to their employees.

1.5.2.1 Federal law (5 U.S.C. 6103) establishes the public holidays for Federal employees. Most

Federal employees work on a Monday through Friday schedule. For these employees, when a holiday falls on a non-workday -- Saturday or Sunday -- the holiday usually is observed on

Monday (if the holiday falls on Sunday) or Friday (if the holiday falls on Saturday). Any other day designated by Federal statute, executive order, or presidential proclamation and local determinations relating to adverse weather conditions, national emergencies, energy conservation, NAVOCEANO determinations, etc. may require office closure. During such periods of closure, Contractor personnelwill not be allowed to work nor will the contractor be compensated.

Observed Holidays:

New Year’s Day Labor Day

Martin Luther King Jr.’s Birthday Columbus Day

President’s Day Veteran’s Day

Memorial Day Thanksgiving Day

Independence Day Christmas Day

1.5.2.2 Hours of Operation/Place of Performance: The contractor is responsible for performing

EARS and UAV support services between the hours of 0800 to 1600 (8-hour work day), Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays or when the Government facility is closed due to local or national emergencies, administrative closings, or similar Government directed facility closings.

The Contractor must at all times maintain an adequate work force for the uninterrupted performance of all tasks defined within this performance work statement when the Government facility is not closed for the aforementioned reasons. When hiring personnel, the Contractor shall keep in mind that the stability and continuity of the work force are essential.

1.5.3 Type of Contract: The Government anticipates award of a Firm Fixed Price contract, with cost reimbursement CLINs for materials, travel and overtime.

1.5.4 Security Requirements: The level of security required for services performed under this contract is Secret. A DD Form 254 will be required. All Contractor personnel performing services under this contract shall have the appropriate security clearances at time of contract award. Majority of work performed under this PWS will be at the unclassified level with a large portion at the Secret level. Majority of work will be performed in NAVOCEANO’s Secret workspaces. The Contractor’s personnel must possess a Secret clearance to access workspaces.

Contractor employees will have access to NAVOCEANO’s classified and unclassified scientific network and Navy Marine Corps Intranet (NMCI) systems. Contractors require IT Level II
