Logistical Assistance Training

25 August 2026

PART 1 – GENERAL INFORMATION

1. GENERAL: This is a non-personal service contract to provide Logistics Readiness Assistance, Processing and Training Services on Fort Stewart, GA (FSGA) and Hunter Army Airfield, GA (HAAF). If there is conflict among any law, regulation, specification, standard, or policy, the most stringent shall apply. The following provisions shall apply to the performance of work under this contract:

1.1. SCOPE OF WORK: The program shall provide FSGA and HAAF units with training and assistance to aid in meeting Army objectives for deployment, GCSS Army data entry and processing for maintenance and supply to include unit level tasks, ground maintenance, small arms, drivers training, conduct formal logistics readiness training, unit assistant visits, assess equipment readiness and provide corrective solutions to systemic problems. Services will also include the ability to execute tasked missions associated with supply and maintenance activities, providing a planned and coordinated program, course curriculum, subject or routine instruction in professional, technical, administrative, or other fields designed to improve individual and organization performance and assist in achieving the agency’s mission. Support provided shall be full-time staffing to conduct Staff Assist Visits for 26 Battalion level and below units, assist Division G4 with Command Inspections for five (5) Brigade level units and below, and teach not less than ten (10) ATRRS Logistics courses and not less than five (5) Non-ATRRS courses throughout the year. The specific efforts required of the Contractor are those task areas detailed in section five (5) of this document. The Contractor shall perform non-personal services in these primary areas. The contractor shall ensure professional execution of this effort in support of the 3rd Infantry Division units’ mission. In the event of a national emergency this contract shall have the capability to be surged. This service contract shall have a Period of Performance (POP) of 12 months plus four (4) option years.

1.2. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The 3rd Infantry Division is required to train, mobilize, deploy, sustain, and reconstitute combat ready forces to meet requirements of Combatant Commanders across the full spectrum of operations. To meet worldwide deployment requirements, 3rd Infantry Division units must be highly trained, well equipped, properly maintained, and logistically ready. Due to the complexity of systems, turn-over of personnel and unit operational tempo (OPTEMPO) a logistics readiness training support capability is required to sustain a basic level of knowledge and proficiency in the areas of GCSS-Army applications, supply operations, property accountability, property book operations, ground maintenance operations, small arms, drivers training and deployment readiness. The Contractor shall provide logistics expertise through training to increase and sustain Soldier knowledge in logistics, deployment readiness, maintenance systems and unit supply systems.

1.3. Objectives:

1.4. HOURS OF OPERATION: Contractor operating hours shall be consistent with normal core duty hours of Fort Stewart unless otherwise directed by the Contracting Officer (KO) or the Contracting Officer Representative (COR). Normal core duty hours are 8:00 AM - 4:30 PM, Monday through Friday, excluding Government holidays or when the Government facility is closed due to local or national emergencies, administrative closings, or similar Government-directed facility closings. The Contractor can expect that a portion of the work may be performed outside of these core hours and on weekends or holidays.

1.4.1. DOWN DAYS/WEATHER DELAYS: The Fort Stewart area is prone to heavy rains and wind as a result of thunderstorms and hurricanes, which can often result in delays to the start of the work shift or cancellation of the workday entirely. These delays apply to all “Non- Mission Essential” personnel. Contractors are not mission essential personnel and shall abide by the delay or workday cancellation. These delays are broadcast by the Fort Stewart Alert System and on local television and radio stations. The Contractor Project Manager (PM) shall notify each contractor on the team of the closure or delay, either directly or through a contact roster chain notification system.

1.4.2. RESCHEDULING: Time lost due to weather delays/closures, electrical outages and other cases of workplace non-availability will be addressed on a case by case basis. The COR will coordinate with the contract PM and will come to a consensus of whether to reschedule based upon mission requirements and the time of occurrence in the work week (i.e.

end or beginning of period). A modified work schedule to compensate for lost work performance is highly encouraged, and must be authorized by the COR and the PM. Extended work days may be implemented to accomplish the 40 hours per week workload requirement when approved by the COR and PM. This decision will be made upon evaluation as soon after the occurrence of delay as possible. The intent is to make this decision within the first 2-3 hours after reporting for duty after the lost time occurs.

1.5. CONTRACTOR PERSONNEL: For the purpose of this contract, the term “Contractor personnel” applies to all Contractor employees, subcontractor employees, or any other person(s) acting for or on behalf of the Contractor to perform work on this contract.
