8.3. Logistics Support Service Level Requirements
8.3.1. The Operational Availability (Ao) of Transportation Security Equipment (TSE) is critical to TSA. Performance disincentives shall be enforced to ensure the
Contractor meets the Service Level Agreement (SLA) Ao metrics set forth in
Paragraph 8.3.2 The Contractor shall provide the calculations and raw data on a monthly basis to TSA. TSA will count any failure inherent to the CPSS system that is a component of the CPSS system and maintained by the CPSS OEM toward Ao. The Ao metrics will be calculated as applicable in accordance with
Attachment 10, TSE Metrics Terms and Definitions & RMA Metrics utilizing
Airport Operational hours.
8.3.1.1. The Government will measure overall Contractor performance using Ao to evaluate the availability of TSE in relation to all relevant critical failures and all relevant non-critical failures.
8.3.1.2. The period of time TSE is available to perform its required mission during the operational hours of a facility is as described in Attachment 12 Airport
Operating Hours, Airport Listing.
8.3.1.3. The Government will measure overall Contractor performance using
Operational Availability (Ao). Ao shall be measured by ‘airport-equipment type’ monthly, at the airport level and any applicable disincentives shall be included in that month’s invoice in accordance with Section 8.4, Disincentives. The
Contractor shall provide sustainment services for fielded TSE to meet the Ao requirement in section 8.3.2.
8.3.2. For systems under warranty, the Contractor shall provide logistics support services for fielded TSE and network systems (servers, software and hardware components) to meet Operational Availability Service Level Agreement (SLA) requirements as follows:
Values Operational Availability SLA Required Ao
During Airport Operating Hours
Ao for all CPSS at each airport, measured monthly
SLA1 98%
Table 2: Ao Requirements
8.3.3. For systems not under warranty, software upgrades can be performed if approved through the CM change request process as described in section 4.7 Configuration
Management (CM) of the SOW.
8.3.4. The Contractor shall only include installed systems that have passed SAT in its
Ao calculations.
8.3.5. The Service Level Agreement requirements specified in Paragraph 8.3.2 of this
SOW are Contract requirements. The Contractor shall calculate Ao for CPSS and airport level on a monthly basis and send to the COR no later than five (5) calendar days after the end of each month and any applicable disincentives shall be included in that month’s invoice in accordance with Section 8.4. This calculation will be used as the basis for Warranty Services invoicing.
8.4.Disincentives
8.4.1. The Contractor shall develop a monthly invoice which separately identifies, per technology and model, the number of systems sustained for the given invoice period, the number of days each system was sustained per invoice period, the fixed daily unit price being applied, and any applicable disincentives.
8.4.1.1. Backup data shall be provided in an excel spreadsheet to allow for validation of invoice.
8.4.2. Operational Availability (Ao) Disincentive. The following shows the amount (in percentage terms) of the downward adjustment of the CLIN X0001 unit price if the contractor is not able to meet the threshold set forth in 8.3.2 of this SOW.
As Calculated in Attachment 10
CPSS (by Airport) SLA Disincentive
Ao for all CPSS at each airport, monthly 98.0% or higher
-10% for each CPSS by airport
As an example, if an airport has two (2) CPSS at an airport, then the Ao for that airport’s CPSS are derived from combining all CPSS performance for that month.
For example, in a 100-hour reporting period, if airport ABC has CPSS-A and the monthly performance respectively was 97.0% (with 97 hours of uptime and 3 hours of downtime) and CPSS-B with 98.9% (with 98.9 hours of uptime and 1.1 hours of downtime), then airport ABC-CPSS Ao equals 97.95% [(97 hours + 98.9 hours) /
(100 hours + 100 hours)]. Since the total CPSS performance at that airport is less than the threshold of 98.0%, the Ao disincentive is applied to both units.
8.4.3. Preventive Maintenance Disincentive. For any CPSS for which the Preventive
Maintenance (PM) is not performed within the requirements of 8.5.5.2, Level II, the
Contractor shall decrement the monthly invoice as follows. Disincentives for TSE with monthly PM requirements shall only apply the disincentive to the current month.
Level II Preventive Maintenance
Measurement SLA Disincentive
100% Completion Within timeframes specified in 8.5.5.2
-10% for each CPSS
PM missed
The PM disincentive is additive to the Ao disincentives explained above. For example, if three (3) CPSS at an airport with a total of ten (10) CPSS did not receive a PM within the month of December per the guidelines specified in 8.5.5.2, then those three (3) units will have a 10% reduction applied to the daily rate for that month. If the Ao SLA was also not met at this airport in the same month of
December, then the Ao penalty disincentive is applied to all ten (10) CPSS and then the PM penalty is applied to the three (3) CPSS that missed PMs.
8.5. Preventive Maintenance
8.5.1. The Government considers tests required at scheduled intervals to be preventive
8.5.2. The Contractor shall coordinate all preventive maintenance scheduling with local
TSA staff as appropriate.
8.5.3. The Contractor shall not perform preventive maintenance during the calendar month in which a unit is installed.
8.5.4. The Contractor shall request COR approval to waive the requirements for performing monthly preventive maintenance in the month when TSA decommissions a CPSS system.
8.5.5. The two (2) levels of preventive maintenance are as follows:
8.5.5.1. Level I – TSA primarily performs preventive maintenance every shift on a daily (one (1) to three (3) times) and weekly basis. TSA performs Level I without the need to open the CPSS system.
8.5.5.2. Level II – the Contractor primarily performs preventive maintenance monthly, quarterly, and/or annually, as defined in OEM maintenance manual.
These activities are included under this logistics support SLA.
8.5.5.2.1. For CPSS requiring monthly PM, the Contractor shall ensure that at least one PM is performed within each calendar month, regardless of number of days in that month. If the OEM CPSS maintenance manual requires Quarterly PMs then they shall have a maximum of 91 calendar days between PMs, and if OEM CPSS maintenance manual requires Semi-
Annual PMs then they shall have a maximum of 182 calendar days between PMs.
8.5.5.2.2. If the Contractor is denied access to TSE to perform PM, then the
COR shall be notified at that time and provided with airport code, model
TSE, serial number, and local TSA POC that denied access.
8.5.5.2.3. Disincentives resulting from Level II PMs not being completed on time, regardless of required periodicity, shall be applied to invoices in accordance with Section 8.4, Disincentives. The Government will determine if disincentives will be applied to TSE that the Contractor reported could not be accessed due to Government restrictions.
Disincentives for these units will be applied if the Contractor delays in notifying the Government.
8.5.5.2.4. In providing Level II preventive maintenance, the Contractor shall comply with the following:
8.5.5.2.4.1. Coordinate all Level II preventive maintenance scheduling with local TSA staff.
8.5.5.2.4.2. Provide the next month’s preventive maintenance
notifications to each location’s POC no later than seven (7) calendar days prior to the end of the current month.
8.5.5.2.4.2.1. The Contractor shall ensure notifications specify airport code, airport name, manufacturer, model, serial number
(SN), barcode, preventive maintenance due date, and the week preventive maintenance is scheduled to be performed.
8.5.5.2.4.3. Send a summary level file (airport code, airport name, manufacturer, model, SN, barcode, preventive maintenance due date, and the intended week for preventive maintenance) of all preventive maintenance actions scheduled for the month to the COR on the first day of that month.
8.5.5.2.4.3.1. Make every effort to schedule preventive
maintenance actions during non-operational hours or non-peak operational hours with approval of local TSA officials.
8.5.5.2.4.4. The Contractor shall schedule preventive maintenance actions during non-peak operational hours or during hours that both the Contractor and local TSA officials agree upon. If local TSA officials have approved preventive maintenance actions during times other than non-peak hours, then the Contractor shall submit a list to the
COR that identifies the location and the TSA official(s).
8.5.5.2.4.5. The Contractor shall coordinate with local TSA staff the week prior to the scheduled week.
8.5.5.2.4.6. The Contractor shall notify local TSA staff if the scheduled week slips and shall coordinate a new week within the required periodicity.
8.5.5.2.4.7. The Contractor shall provide all required consumables
(cleaning supplies, filters, etc.).
8.5.5.2.4.7.1. The Contractor is responsible for the storage of all spare parts, consumables, hardware and software necessary to fulfill the requirements of this contract.
8.5.5.2.5. The Contractor may contact local TSA to conduct the preventive maintenance on an earlier date than scheduled; however, if the earlier date is not convenient for local TSA this shall not be reflected as a lack of access to the facility and the Contractor shall adhere to the original schedule to perform the preventive maintenance.
8.5.5.2.6. The Contractor…
