SBX SECURITY PWS.pdf

SECTION C

C-1.0 Scope of Work/Mission

The contractor shall provide personnel and material for securing SBX-1 in accordance with (IAW) Sponsor Security

Requirements (as delineated in MDA Memorandum of 26 July 2012 entitled “SBX-l Security Requirements”), SI

538-2 (Sea-Based Missile Defense Systems (SBX/AEGIS/OSV)) and other terms of this PWS. Security requires continuous armed force protection of the SBX-1 at all times; when the SBX-1 is at sea and when the vessel is in port. The contractor shall be responsible for maintaining onboard physical security 24 hours 7 days a week 365 days a year and be able to sustain 63-day rotations in two scenarios, 1) when the vessel is at sea in International Waters, and 2) while the vessel is in U.S. Territorial Seas and internal waters (including U.S. Navy and commercial facilities). Contractor Security Officers shall perform their duties onboard SBX-1 and not outside the lifelines of this vessel, notwithstanding any other requirements of SI 538-2 (and successor directives). It is understood, however, that contractor Security Officers onboard SBX-1 may have to use force against attackers who are located outside the lifelines of the ship. The PWS does not include scope to provide SI 538-2 protection to the vessel when moored, anchored or docked at a foreign port or shore-side security duties IAW SI 538-2. The contractor shall maintain communications with escort, security patrol craft (when applicable), and port security personnel and demonstrate capabilities and preparedness to Navy and other authorized and appropriate review agencies (such as but not limited to; Naval Criminal Investigative Services (NCIS), Combatant Commander (COCOM) staff, Coast

Guard, etc.) (See for example: DoDI 2000.16 (series) and OPNAVINST 5530.14 (series)). To facilitate this the contractor shall have 3 years of experience in security in support of port security or Security System Level A (SSL-

A) requirements as well as 3 years of company experience with weapons maintenance of the types that will be used on SBX-1 (handguns, shotguns, military assault rifles, and crew served weapons).

C-1.2 Operational Control (OPCON) Operational control of the ships covered under this contract is normally exercised by a designated operational commander who may or may not be the cognizant MSC Area Commander.

The contractor shall comply with Operational Commander's and MSC Area Commander’s operational control direction. If there is a conflict between the Operational Commander and the MSC Area Commander then the contractor shall follow the direction of the Operational Commander. In exercising command authority commanders are not authorized to make changes to the scope of the contract. If compliance will result in expenses that will exceed available funding obligated to the contract, then the Contractor shall obtain preapproval IAW section G-7, prior to incurring the expense. The vessel could also be activated as a contingency asset in case of emergency with

Secretary of Defense approval. OPCON will vary in either case.

C-1.2.1 Operational Control (OPCON) and Tactical Control (TACON) of SBX-1 will reside with Commander, Missile Defense Agency, Sensors Directorate when SBX-1 has not been activated for Homeland Defense operations.

C-1.2.2 Contingency Operational Control (OPCON) of SBX-1 and assigned personnel will reside with

Commander, U.S. INDO-PACIFIC COMMAND (USINDOPACOM) and Tactical Control (TACON) will reside with U.S. Pacific Fleet (COMPACFLT) unless specified otherwise. Activation for Homeland Defense Operations will be via EXORD from U.S. Northern Command.

C-1.3 Administrative Control (ADCON)

Administrative control of the ship will be exercised by Military Sealift Command Headquarters (MSC HQ).

C-1.4 Area of Operations Operations are anticipated to be conducted in the Pacific Ocean. SBX-1 is expected to be operating in the United States (to include U.S. territories and U.S. territorial waters), and on international waters.

C-1.4.1 Operating Scenario Vessel operations consist of Ballistic Missile Defense operations in support of Home

Land Defense test events, transits, and maintenance. The Government may vary Operational Tempo (OPTEMPO) to meet mission requirements. Typical annual OPTEMPO for SBX-1 operations (see Section C1.10 for mobilization information):

SBX-1 Security 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027

Operational or Operationally Capable

Status, SSL-A 305 306 245 365 305

Non Operational Status, Underway and

Inport during Maintenance availabilities

SSL-C Status (based on real world events)

C-1.4 Rotation Schedule for Contract Security Force Rotation Schedule for Contract Security Force in an

Underway (SSL A) Scenario - Full operational status is planned for 365 days per year. SSL A security posture will be in effect during this time. In the event the vessel is underway for longer than 60 days in an SSL-A status, contractor personnel may be relieved on a rotation schedule determined by Offshore Support Vessel (OSV) runs or other means to transport personnel (OSV runs are expected every 21 days). Due to these unusual mission equirements, security personnel may have to serve onboard SBX-1 for extended periods (> 60 days), or experience delays in transit while enroute to the vessel. The Contractor shall provide continuous protection of the vessel during such delay periods.

C-1.4.1 Unscheduled Extensions of Duty The on-board staff is subject to mobilization and other modifications of established shifts and work schedules to respond to potential or real threats as determined by the SBX-1 Master

(hereafter referred to as Master) or as preplanned by Force Protection Condition (FPCON) as defined in the Vessel

Security Plan (VSP).

C-1.4.2 Reimbursable Overtime The Contractor shall comply with the manning requirements specified in Section

C-1.10.1. All overtime that is incurred beyond the 40 hour workweek for each Security Officer shall be reimbursable in accordance with the contractor’s approved Staffing Plan (C-1.24(b) and Section G-8. The following are sources of reimbursable overtime: 1. Response requiring immediate action to meet SI 538-02, approved Fleet security plan, or COMSCINST 5530.3G requirements (ex. Actual Security Incident, Increased FPCON requiring additional manpower etc.) 3. Overtime associated with Section C.1.15.3. Other reimbursable OT as discussed and pre-approved by the Contracting Officer (OT associated with Security training outside of the normal 40 hour workweek.). 4. Overtime due to SSL-C requirements during shipyard periods.

C-1.4.4. Deduction for Crew Shortages

The contractor shall maintain a list of crew shortages (by billet) and shall calculate wages and fringes associated with these shortages for every calendar month. IAW Section G, a copy of this list shall accompany the per diem invoice for the covered period, and the total wage/fringe shortage values shall be reflected as a credit to the

Government by a line item deduction on that invoice.

C-1.5 Embarkation/Debarkation The Contracting Officer’s representative (COR) will provide the contractor the port location of the SBX-1 and/or the disembarkation point for the OSV not less than four (4) working days prior to when they are expected to report. Contractor personnel may embark the SBX-1 while in-port or underway (via the

OSV, helicopter, or other means). The location of the SBX-1 and OSV shall only be communicated as necessary.

C-1.6 Personnel Equipment Requirements Contractor will provide all necessary personal use equipment for duties onboard the SBX-1 including but not limited to clothing suitable to allow other personnel onboard SBX-1 to recognize contractor Security Officers, cold weather gear, ballistic personal protective equipment and consumables.

C-1.6.1 Gas Mask/JLIST Suit Fit Testing Program

a. The Contractor shall ensure every user of a Gas Mask/JSLIST Suit to be properly fitted to ensure adequate protection from CBRN agents. In the event any user reports aboard without first being fit tested by the N44

Fit Test Team, they may be temporarily fitted using the sizing tool method, followed by donning the mask and performing a negative pressure. At the earliest possible opportunity, the individual must be scheduled to be fitted by the N44 Fit Test Team to verify that the mask size initially selected provides adequate protection. The frequency of periodic quantitative fit testing is not to exceed five (5) years. Fit testing is also required when a condition develops that requires a change in mask size (e.g., a noticeable weight gain or loss or other change in facial sizes such as dental changes, scarring, or facial surgery in the face sealing area). Fit Test results must be in a centralized filing system.

b. During the negative pressure check, only a slight inward deflection of face piece and lens is required. If inhalation is too forceful, the face piece will collapse against the face and the mask outlet valve may become dislodged. Before donning and adjusting the mask, mariners shall remove all jewelry worn on head or face, hair fasteners (hair clips, hairpins, combs, and rubber bands), hair knots, buns, or braids that will interfere with the mask seal and let hair hang freely.

c.) All Contract personnel must be cleanly shaven. Facial hair could result in an improper mask fit resulting in illness or death. A leak-proof fit cannot be expected unless the wearer is clean shaven. Security forces who are NOT cleanly shaven must be reported to N-1/N-10 as Non-Compliant in accordance with MSC

Commander’s guidance and processed accordingly.
