Section C- Descriptions/Specifications/Statement of Work

C STATEMENT OF WORK

C.1 INTRODUCTION

The Department of State (DOS), Bureau of Diplomatic Security (DS), Office of Antiterrorism Assistance (ATA) has a requirement for a Contractor to facilitate foreign law enforcement training and perform other re-lated activities. The Contractor shall be required to perform these services in both CONUS and OCONUS loca-tions including remote training sites in medium to high threat and austere environments. The Contractor shall support ATA programs during periods of instability, reconstruction, and overseas operations.

C.2 BACKGROUND

The Foreign Assistance Act authorized the President to provide assistance to foreign countries to deter terrorist and terrorist groups from engaging in international acts. The law authorized this assistance in the form of train-ing, commodities and equipment that would help deter and prevent acts of terrorism and manage such incidents if they occur. The program started as an initiative and expanded in scope following the 1983 attack on the U.S.

Embassy in Beirut, subsequent attacks in Tanzania and Kenya and the 2001 attack on the U.S. homeland.

The Diplomatic Security Office of Anti-Terrorism Assistance is the premier provider of counterterrorism train-ing and capacity building for the U.S. Department of State. ATA is a successful partnership between the DOS Bureau of Counterterrorism which provides policy guidance and DS which manages the operational implement-ation of the program. ATA serves as the primary provider of U.S. government antiterrorism training to foreign law enforcement agencies of Partner Nations.

ATA officers work with the Partner Nation to identify program needs ranging from bomb detection and neutral-ization, crime scene investigation, airport and building security, harbor security, and VIP protection. ATA then formulates a foreign assistance plan that is uniquely tailored to the program needs and implements the plan in the form of advanced training, technical assistance, equipment grants including computers and software encap-sulated around modern, humane, and effective antiterrorism techniques.

The Global Anti-Terrorism Assistance (GATA) contract represents an advanced and specialized foreign assist-ance program that provides foreign law enforcement with instructional training. The customer for these ser-vices is ATA however the actual recipient of the training will be vetted foreign police and civilian security offi-cials within the Partner Nation. Instruction ranges from small unit police tactical training and classroom courses to senior executive seminars, consultations, and technical assessments, including many knowledge-based and skills-based disciplines necessary for an effective antiterrorism capability. Since its inception in 1983, the ATA program has trained over 150,000 foreign law enforcement and civilian government officials in over 154 coun-tries.

C.3 MISSION AND OBJECTIVE

The mission of ATA is to advance U.S. foreign policy goals, create strong bilateral relations, foster cooperative efforts between U.S. law enforcement agencies and foreign partners and increase respect for global human rights. ATA programs are key components to increasing the capability and capacity of Partner Nations to take strong, decisive action against terrorism. As such, ATA enhances the antiterrorism awareness and skills of for-eign law enforcement and security officials.

The objective of this contract is to strengthen Partner Nation capabilities to combat terrorism and build upon a trusted network of law enforcement officers while improving ATA’s technical capabilities.

C.4 PROGRAM MANAGEMENT

ATA has invested an inordinate amount of resources in developing over sixty courses and consultations that span a wide range of specialized anti-terrorism topics. However the curriculum, in and of itself, does little to achieve the ATA mission and objective without competent and professional course instruction and program management services.

The purpose of this contract is to develop a partnership with a Contractor for delivering the courses in a manner that achieves the program’s specialized foreign assistance mission. The ATA program is currently facilitated through a network of almost 1,000 professional instructors and subject matter experts. The instructor pool rep-resents myriad law enforcement and military backgrounds that shall be drawn from to appropriately staff courses, consultations and mentorships requiring particular skill sets. The instructors have historically operated independently through subcontracts with the prime contractor.

For purposes of the GATA II contract the Instructor CLIN labor categories include Lead Instructor, Instructor, Mentor and Advisor. The instructors are the face of ATA to the Partner Nation. Therefore the Government is concerned with the quality and stability of the work force. Compensation commensurate with an individual’s knowledge, skills and abilities fosters the quality level of services required. Furthermore professional compens-ation is directly correlated with recruiting and retention and ATA cannot afford to lose quality instructors over compensation or not have the correct labor mix required to successfully deliver a course. Therefore the indi-vidual position descriptions include an equivalent GS pay grade that is commensurate with the position require-ments and shall be used as a basis for compensation. In order to ensure compliance the Contractor will be sub-ject to random or routine payroll reviews.

Although the training curriculums exist, and there is an existing pool of course instructors the Contractor shall face numerous logistical challenges in successfully executing this contract. The training deliveries can be nu-merous, concurrent, in a multitude of locations including remote training sites, conducted when Partner Nations are in periods of instability and reconstruction or during military operations.

The Contractor shall maintain a program management and administrative staff sufficient to manage the instruct-or pool, deploys international mobile training teams, coordinate training, and manage Government and Con-tractor furnished material. The PM team shall meet with ATA weekly and shall be responsible for myriad re-ports.

ATA may require the Contractor to develop customized courses, or provide technical assistance, consultations and special programs for paramilitary, law enforcement, security forces and policymakers from Partner Nations.

The Contractor shall provide program development, subject matter experts, instructors, conference space, lodging, and services. In addition, ATA may task the Contractor to develop and deliver customized seminars, in conjunction with other service providers. In addition to program development, facilitation, providing distin-guished speakers and subject matter experts, the Contractor may be required to provide all local ground trans-portation, lodging, conference facilities, meeting facilities and evening events. ATA may request the Contractor to provide facilities for conducting classroom and tactical training for specialized law enforcement, small unit police tactical training and for executive seminars.

The Contractor shall ensure that the PM or a designated management official is personally available to commu-nicate (e.g., telephone, meetings, e-mail, etc.) with ATA on an as needed basis. In view of international time differences, the Contractor shall ensure the designated representative’s availability and capability for after-hours contact by the Government in the event of an emergency.

C.4.1 Program Reviews The PM team shall meet with ATA and program representatives weekly during the life of the contract. Program reviews will include a discussion of quality and performance; an assessment of patterns and trends from cus-tomer surveys; after action reports, constructive feedback; preventive or corrective actions needed; customer surveys, planning and operations; variances in reporting or performance; travel costs; billing and payment; man-agement, or quality control issues and any recommendations for continuous improvement. The meetings may be held at the Contractor’s location or ATA offices. The Contractor shall prepare a Monthly Report outlining the items discussed and any subsequent actions needed by either ATA or the Contractor. The Contractor shall include a complete inventory of the equipment held at the Contractor’s site.

C.4.2 Annual Reports The Contractor shall provide a detailed Annual Report no later than sixty (60) days before the end of each con-tract period of performance. The report shall include a summary of contract and financial activity, a detailed re-port of the status for all training delivery performance standards as provided in F.4 Deliverables. Additionally, annual report shall include the Contractor’s pertinent personnel activities, recruitment efforts, inventory if Gov-ernment furnished and any other pertinent information.

C.4.3 Intermittent and Unscheduled Reports The Government may task the Contractor to provide written additional reports and/or oral briefings, and/or re-ports regarding, but not limited to, the following:

1. Status of training or equipment delivery.

2. Staffing levels.

3. Recruitment and retention activities.

4. Security on site – both of equipment and personnel domestically and OCONUS.

5. Subcontract management.

6. Logistics.

7. Communications and incident reporting.

8. Administrative matters such as assisting in security clearances, bio submittals and approvals.

9. Records processing for overseas-bound Contractor personnel (e.g., obtaining passports, etc.).

10. Task order schedules, quality of performance, risks and solutions.

11. Contract administration and invoicing.

12. Other reports as dictated by ATA.

C.4.4 Administrative Support The Contractor shall maintain a sufficient staff to provide all normal administrative services required to deploy international mobile training teams, deliver training, and manage Government and Contractor furnished materi-al.

For training deliveries, the Contractor staff will coordinate and implement official ceremonies with recognition items and formal and informal cultural exchange as well as in process participants and accommodate cultural or religious preferences and special requests.

C.5 ENGAGEMENT PARAMETERS

The Contractor shall be required to interface with American and Partner Nation government and law enforce-ment officials. All contractor personnel will be required to comply with the Code of Conduct.

The Contractor, both on and off duty, is a direct reflection of the United States, the American people and their employer. As such, the Contractor conduct shall be in a manner that reflects the highest level of self-respect, business integrity and cross-cultural sensitivity in order to accomplish the ATA Mission and Objective.

Contractor misconduct of any nature, to include participation in or unreported knowledge thereof is subject to immediate recall and permanent removal from the ATA program.

C.5.1 Code of Conduct

The Contractor shall develop a formalized Code-of-Conduct with corresponding disciplinary actions for adher-ence failures. See Attachment 7 for mandatory items to be included in the Code of Conduct. The Contractor shall have each employee read and sign the Code of Conduct. The signed certification shall be maintained in the individual’s personnel file. Contractor personnel curtailed for failure to comply with the Code of Conduct are unsuitable for future work under this contract and shall be removed.

C.5.2 Contractor Personnel As a representative of the United States on an ATA training mission the Contractor shall ensure positive and meaningful interaction with the participants. Positive and meaningful interaction as such builds Partner Nation capabilities and fosters their political will to combat terrorism. The interaction shall extend through training and non-training activities The Contractor may speak at opening or closing events and may participate in course-re-lated cultural or professional exchanges such as formal ceremonies or informal gatherings at the end of the day.

Due to such things as cultural differences, language barriers, and geographic restrictions the Contractors in-volvement in meeting the Mission and Objective is substantially greater for OCONUS than for CONUS course delivery. The Contractors delivery of OCONUS training may require working some weekends, additional local travel as well as advance preparation in country for tactical, cyber, and other logistically intensive courses, as well as remedial training and answering questions before and after class.
