Performance Work Statement Maritime Expeditionary Security Force (MESG 1 and MESG 2)

Training Liaison Officer to Maritime Expeditionary Security Squadrons TWO, THREE, and FOUR

1.0 BACKGROUND

A Maritime Expeditionary Security Force (MESF) is responsible for conducting 24 hour operations and protection of maritime infrastructure in all climates and weather conditions.

MESF is a core maritime capabilities that bridge the gap between traditional Navy blue water operations and land forces, providing security in coastal maritime environments and shallow waters.

Maritime Expeditionary Security Group ONE (MESG-1) located in Imperial Beach, CA is administratively aligned under NECCPAC as the immediate superior in command (ISIC) and is accountable for generating and sustaining the readiness of all assigned units of action. TWO (MESG-2) located in Virginia Beach, VA is administratively aligned under NECC as the immediate superior in command (ISIC) and are accountable for generating and sustaining the readiness of all assigned units of action. The MESF plans and executes the training, assessment, and evaluation of the units of action Required Operational Capabilities (ROC). MESF’s capabilities are detailed in the OPNAVINST 3501.363 (series), ROC and Projected Operational Environment (POE) for MESF.

MESF units maintain a presence worldwide in each of the Geographic Combatant Commands.

In addition, the MESF is routinely tasked to defend designated high value assets and conducts offensive combat operations against a determined enemy throughout the maritime domain.

Maritime Expeditionary Security Squadrons (MSRON- 2, MSRON-3 and MSRON-4) provide port security and harbor defense, maritime force protection and offshore protection for maritime infrastructure, protection of vital coastal waterways CONUS and OCONUS for Military Sealift Command ships.

Without requisite subject matter expertise within the training departments, MSRON-2, MSRON- 3, and MSRON-4 consistently struggle to effectively manage the OFRP/FRTP, associated databases, messaging requirements, administratively and to properly train the Command Training Team. This deficiency within the MSRON training department forces the ISIC to often do the jobs for them in preparation to deploy. The need for continuity and MESF subject matter expertise in the training departments is required to ensure commands have an effective training plan for each unit of action, qualified Command Training Team (CTT) and efficient management of the OFRP/FRTP throughout all phases of training to support GFM and MCO tasking. A contributor to this issue and the reason the MSRON community is unable to keep the requisite number of subject matter expertise within the squadron is because the community is not close looped. A large number of the talent and expertise will complete a MESF tour of duty and transfer back to the Fleet.

The urgent need to augment the MESF with contractor support is vital to ensure the critical training requirements are met while generating certified warfighting capabilities for major combat operations (MCO) via the respective unit of action’s Optimized Fleet Response Plan (OFRP)/Fleet Response Training Plan (FRTP) or, in the case of Task-Tailored Units (TTU), certified for assigned mission tasking.

2.0 PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE.

The period of performance associated with this Performance Work Statement (PWS) shall be for a twelve month base period with two option years, and one (1) six month option period to be exercised at the discretion of the Government.

3.0 PLACES OF PERFORMANCE.

CONTRACTOR UNCLASSIFIED ACCESS TO FEDERALLY CONTROLLED

FACILITIES, SENSITIVE INFORMATION, INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

SYSTEMS OR PROTECTED HEALTH INFORMATION

The following shall be inserted in full text in all solicitations and contracts (including commercial acquisitions) which require contractor unclassified access to federally controlled facilities, sensitive information, Information Technology (IT) systems or protected health information. For commercial acquisitions, this text shall be incorporated into either the SOW or

PWS.

The security text does not apply in cases where the contractor/vendor does not have access to Navy Marine Corps Intranet (NMCI) computers, is not issued a Common Access Card (CAC) and is involved in training or other short-term duties of less than 30 days duration that allow for the use of a visitor request. In these cases, the government employee must submit a Visitor Access Request (VAR) to the main gate or applicable processing entity for your facility and assume responsibility to escort those without CAC Credentials.

This local text does not apply to non-United States (U.S.) Nationals (foreign nationals) who are contactor employees performing work overseas. The local text is applicable to the U.S. Nationals living in the U.S. or overseas who are performing work on a Navy contract.

The investigation of a non-U.S. national at a foreign location must be consistent with a National Agency Check with Written Inquiries (NACI), to the extent possible and include a fingerprint check against the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) criminal history database, an FBI investigations file (name check) search and a name check against the terrorist screening database.

Also, the above cited reference notes that Foreign Nationals may not be granted CAC credentials until completion of their investigation and not in the interim.

Per Department of Defense Memorandum (DoDM) 5200.2, Department of Defense (DoD) components must initiate and ensure completion of a background investigation before applying the credentialing standards to a non-U.S. national at a foreign location. The background investigation must be favorably adjudicated before a CAC can be issued to a non-U.S. national at a foreign location. The type of background investigation may vary based on standing reciprocity treaties concerning identity assurance and information exchanges that exist between the U.S. and its allies or agency agreements with the host country.

CONTRACTOR UNCLASSIFIED ACCESS TO FEDERALLY CONTROLLED FACILITIES,

SENSITIVE INFORMATION, IT SYSTEMS OR PROTECTED HEALTH INFORMATION

Executive Order 13467, Reforming Processes Related to Suitability for Government Employee, Fitness for Contractor Employees and Eligibility for Access to Classified National Security Information, Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD)-12, requires government agencies to develop and implement Federal security standards for Federal employees and contractors. The 5 CFR 32 Part 157 in concert with DoD Manual 1000.13, Vol 1, implements the Federal Standards.

APPLICABILITY

This text applies to all DoD sponsored individuals who require CAC eligibility (or login and P/W if acceptable per contract) for: Physical access to DoD facilities or non-DoD facilities on behalf of DoD; Logical access to information systems (whether on site or remotely); or remote access to DoD networks that use only the CAC logon for user authentication, or access to sensitive and protected information. This applies to the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), the Military Departments, the Office of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Joint Staff, the Combatant Commands, the Office of the Inspector General of the DoD, the Defense Agencies, the DoD Field Activities and all other organizational entities within the DoD (hereinafter referred to collectively as the "DoD Components").

Each contractor employee providing services at a Navy command under this contract is required to obtain a DoD CAC. Additionally, depending on the level of computer/network access, the contract employee will require a successful investigation as detailed below.

ACCESS TO FEDERAL FACILITIES

Per HSPD-12 and implementing guidance, all contractor employees working at a federally controlled base, facility or activity under this clause will require a DoD CAC. When access to a base, facility or activity is required contractor employees shall in-process with the Command's Security Manager (CSM) upon arrival to the command and shall out-process prior to their departure at the completion of the individual's performance under the contract.

START-UP PERIOD

All contractor resource onboarding documents must be submitted via the prime contractor. The prime contractor shall make all necessary preparations to assume full responsibility for productive performance as of the performance start date.

Definition of "productive":

a. Visit Authorization Request (VAR)

b. Contractor Information Sheet (CIS)

c. FD-258 Fingerprint Card

d. Completed Electronic Investigation (EQIP)

e. All contractor resource(s) must have an active Joint Personnel Adjudication System (JPAS) profile

f. Common Access Card(CAC)

Note (1): Invoicing by the contractor will begin as of the commencement of the performance period of services and no reimbursement will be paid by the government for efforts expended during the start-up period.

Note (2): Foreign Nationals are not allowed access to the functional/system side of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP).

ACCESS TO DOD INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (IT) SYSTEM

In Accordance With (IAW) Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) M-5510.30, contractor employees who require access to Department of the Navy (DoN) or DoD networks are categorized as IT-I, IT-II, or IT-III. The IT-II level, defined in detail in SECNAV M-5510.30, includes positions which require access to sensitive information. Sensitive information includes information protected under the Privacy Act, to include PHI. All contractor employees under this contract who require access to Privacy Act protected information are therefore categorized no lower than IT-II. IT Levels are determined by the requiring activity's Command Information System Security Manager (ISSM)/Information Assurance Manager (IAM).

Contractor employees requiring privileged or IT-I level access, (when specified by the terms of the contract) require a Single Scope Background Investigation (SSBI) or T5 or T5R equivalent investigation, which is a higher level investigation than the National Agency Check (NAC) with Law and Credit (NACLC)/T3/T3R described below. Due to the privileged system access, an investigation suitable for High Risk national security positions is required. Individuals who have access to system control, monitoring, or administration functions (e.g. system administrator, database administrator) require training and certification to Information Assurance (IA) Technical Level 1 and must be trained and certified on the Operating System (OS) or Computing Environment (CE) they are required to maintain.

Access to sensitive IT systems is contingent upon a favorably adjudicated background investigation. When access to IT systems is required for performance of the contractor employee's duties, such employees shall in-process with the Navy CSM and ISSM/IAM manager upon arrival to the Navy command and shall out-process prior to their departure at the completion of the individual's performance under the contract. Completion and approval of a System Authorization Access Request Navy (SAAR-N) form is required for all individuals accessing Navy IT resources. The decision to authorize access to a government IT system/network is inherently governmental. The contractor supervisor is not authorized to sign the SAAR-N; therefore, the government employee with knowledge of the system/network access required or the Contracting Officers Representative (COR) shall sign the SAAR-N as the supervisor.

The SAAR-N shall be forwarded to the CSM at least thirty (30) days prior to the individual's start date. Failure to provide the required documentation at least thirty (30) days prior to the individual's start date may result in delaying the individual's start date.

When required to maintain access to required IT systems or networks, the contractor shall ensure that all employees requiring access complete annual Cyber Awareness training and maintain a current requisite background investigation. The contractor's security representative shall contact the CSM for guidance when reinvestigations are required.

INTERIM ACCESS

The CSM may authorize issuance of a DoD CAC and interim access to a DoN or DoD unclassified computer/network upon a favorable review of the investigative questionnaire and advance favorable fingerprint results. When the results of the investigation are received and a favorable determination is not made, the contractor employee working on the contract under interim access will be denied access to the computer network and this denial will not relieve the contractor of his/her responsibility to perform.

DENIAL OR TERMINATION OF ACCESS

The potential consequences of any requirement under this clause including denial or termination of physical or system access in no way relieves the contractor from the requirement to execute performance under the contract within the timeframes specified in the contract.
