Part 1 Description of Services

1.0 General: Private Security Contractors (PSCs) contracted by the U.S. Government (USG) operate as one means of a whole-of-government approach to support peace and stability initiatives in areas of armed conflict, post-conflict, comparable situations and in peace/routine garrison operations. Where military or other government security forces are unavailable, insufficient, or inappropriate, PSCs protect relief, recovery, reconstruction activity from theft, extortion, vandalism, terrorism, and other unlawful activities in addition to emergent security requirements in stable garrison environments, Outside the Continental United States (OCONUS). This encompasses planned security initiatives, capacity-building efforts, and support for ongoing stability and peacekeeping operations. Effective discipline, training, and oversight of USG contracted PSCs builds the confidence of the local population, reduces the risk of civilians and civilian activities becoming targets, and supports the restoration or protection of the rule of law. To accommodate this objective, this performance-based statement of work provides a full spectrum of private security functions in support of contingency operations, other significant military operations, humanitarian, and peace operations, exercises or garrison operations. This Performance Work Statement (PWS) is for security services encompassing RAF Blenheim Crescent. Any change to performance requirements will only become effective upon approval from the Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO).

1.1 Description of Services: The Contractor shall provide all management, tools, supplies, equipment, and labor necessary to perform armed or unarmed security guard services and protective security services. These services are non-personal in nature, under which the personnel rendering the service(s) are not subject, either by the Contract’s terms or by the manner of its administration, to the supervision and control usually prevailing in relationships between the Government and its employees.

1.2 Background: The U.S. Government and partner nations require physical security at Royal Air Force Blenheim Crescent (RAFBC) and wish to fulfill this need via contracted security.

1.3 Security Systems: The USG acknowledges the dynamic and ever evolving nature of security technology and recognizes that advancements may lead to the development of new and unknown security systems during the lifespan of this contract. Therefore, Contractors may be required to operate and integrate with future security systems provided by the Government, even if such systems are not explicitly defined or known at the time of award. The Contractor shall demonstrate flexibility and readiness to adapt to evolving technologies, participate in relevant training programs, and efficiently incorporate emerging security systems into their operational capabilities as directed by the Contracting Officer or designated [U.S.] Government representative. This requirement ensures that the program remains responsive to emerging security needs and technological advancements throughout its duration. Security systems referenced include but are not limited to cameras, Defense Biometric Identification System (DBIDS) technology, and alarms, to include security equipment that will be upgraded, upgraded, or replaced through the life of the contract. Any security equipment requiring Common Access Cards (CACs) or other badges for system access will be addressed prior to implementation.

2.0 General Information

2.1 Quality Control Plan (QCP): The Contractor is responsible for creating and maintaining a QCP to ensure that the services provided are in line with the requirements of this PWS. The Contractor shall establish and implement procedures to identify, prevent, and ensure that there is no repetition of defective services. The QCP is the means through which the Contractor assures that the work provided meets the requirements of the contract. The contractor is required to submit a QC plan to the Contracting Officer within 30 days of award for review and acceptance.

2.1.1 Quality Assurance: The Government will evaluate the Contractor’s performance under this Contract in accordance with (IAW) the Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP).

It defines how the performance standards will be applied, the frequency of surveillance, and the acceptable quality levels (performance thresholds).

2.2 Recognized Holidays: The recognized holidays for performance to include Host Nation Holidays may be observed by contract employees; however, the contractor is responsible for ensuring security coverage at an acceptable level based on the Post Priority Chart (PPC).

2.2.1 Hours of Operation: Contractors may be required to provide security services 24 hours per day, seven (7) days per week, 365 (or 366) days per year, including all holidays. The Contractor must always maintain an adequate workforce to ensure uninterrupted performance of all tasks defined within the

PWS.

Local Nationals (LN) and Other Country Nationals (OCN) will not be eligible for a U.S. security clearance; therefore, they will not be expected to have access to U.S. SECRET classified material. Where appropriate, OCNs should have at a minimum a Favorable Background check and pass necessary vendor threat mitigation policies and procedures.
