2. : U.S. Naval bases in Hampton Roads, Virginia; Naval Station Norfolk, Joint Place of Performance Expeditionary Base Little Creek/Fort Story, Norfolk Naval Shipyard, Saint Julien Creek Annex, Naval Air Station Oceana, Fentress Field, Dam Neck Annex, Naval Weapon Station Yorktown, Cheatham Annex, Naval Support Activity, Northwest Annex, Naval Support Activity Hampton Roads, Craney Island, and Lafayette River Annex and various off-premise locations.

3. Ordering Period:

1 Mar 2025 - 28 Feb 2026

4. Scope . Work under this PWS will consist of the effort required to provide NCTAMS LANT leased telecommunications services listed below at Navy sites shown in paragraph 2.

Task 1: Provide basic dial-tone service (Business Lines).

Task 2: Provide 1.544Mb (T1) point to point circuits.

Task 3: Provide Primary Rate Interface (PRI) circuits.

Task 4: Provide Private Line - Data

Task 5: Provide Installation of new services (Non-Recurring Cost)

5. General Requirements:

5.1 The contractor shall provide the telecommunications task requirements as defined in paragraph 4.

5.2 Availability: The contractor shall provide an average circuit and PRI availability of at least 99.9% for those portions of circuits that are not government provided (i.e., government copper or fiber pairs provided to permit the extension of a circuit from a base demark to the service delivery point). Availability will be calculated by averaging data for up to ten circuits with the individual circuit availability derived by dividing total up time by total time for the period measured.

5.3 Approvals and Permits: The contractor/telecommunications provider (TP) is responsible for obtaining all approvals and permits necessary to provide this service. Inability of contractor/TP to obtain any such approvals or permits shall not be a valid reason for not meeting service dates or performance metrics. Failure of a contractor/TP to obtain any approval or permit necessary to provide this service may result in a termination of this contract by Government for default at no cost to Government and/or receipt of a negative past performance rating.

5.4 Scheduled Outages: The contractor shall utilize approved alternate or spare facilities whenever possible to eliminate or minimize scheduled service interruptions. In the event that a scheduled service interruption cannot be avoided, contractor/TP shall obtain approval from NCTAMS LANT External Support Department (ESD) or site Base Communications Office (BCO), before initiating any scheduled outage. To obtain approval, a written "circuit release request" must be submitted to the appropriate BCO, no later than 21 calendar days prior to requested circuit release date. When an interruption of service is required to correct hazardous or degraded conditions the contractor must submit a hazardous/degraded condition report stating the hazardous condition and obtain acknowledgement/response by the ESD or BCO official, 48-hours prior to the event. In addition to including the information identified in paragraph 5.6, the hazardous/degraded condition circuit release request from contractor/TP must also identify the hazardous or degraded conditions that exist which preclude providing the U.S. Government with 21-day advance notice.

5.5 In emergency situations when loss of life or property is at risk the contractor is authorized to take immediate action. Contractor/TP must make every reasonable attempt to notify the Government points of contact and coordinate arrangements for the service interruption to the maximum extent possible. Within 5 business days of an emergency interruption, contractor/TP must submit an emergency circuit release request (after -the-event) and identify the emergency conditions that existed which precluded providing the Government with 21-day advance notice. (See paragraph 5.6)

5.6 All circuit release requests must include following information:

- Contractor/TP Requesting circuit release and name and phone number of contractor/TP representative responsible for managing circuit release.

- Order number of circuit for which release is being requested.

- Date and inclusive times of scheduled circuit release, along with an alternate circuit release date and time.

- Purpose of scheduled circuit release.

- Statement indicating all equipment, parts, and/or supplies required to complete action are on-hand, or their expected delivery date.

- Statement indicating all avenues alternate facilities, spare facilities that are available.

- Estimated maximum recovery time to restore circuit. Failure of contractor/TP to obtain an approved circuit release prior to initiating a scheduled outage may result in Government termination of this contract for default at no cost to Government and/or receipt of a negative performance rating.

5.7 Restoral Maintenance: Response requirements are defined below. The site BCO can change response requirements from priority to routine and required response times.

Commercial business lines are defined as routine services. All other contractor provided services are defined as priority services.

Response Time/Routine Outage Call: The contractor shall undertake remote troubleshooting within two (2) hours of receipt of notification of outage. If not cleared remotely, the contractor shall perform on-site troubleshooting not later than the next business day. The contracting officer, technical point of contact or alternate can provide relief from the next day on-site requirement based on user's operational impact. Priority Outage/Call: The contractor shall undertake remote troubleshooting within one (1) hour of receipt of notification of outage. If not cleared remotely, the contractor shall perform on-site troubleshooting not later than four (4) hours if the outage is limited to a single circuit. When an entire base or command is without service, the contractor shall respond the same day. The contracting officer, technical point of contact or alternate can provide relief from the same day on-site requirement based on user's operational impact.

5.8 Trouble Reporting: The contractor shall provide a 24/7 Trouble Ticket reporting telephone line in which the repair tickets for services identified in this PWS are opened, tracked or updated.

6. Material and Equipment:

Contractor Furnished Material/Equipment: The contractor shall provide all materials required to deliver telecommunication services at each designated location. Several of the circuits and services will be extended beyond the commercial demarcation point.

NCTAMS LANT SPECIFIC WIDE AREA WORKFLOW (WAWF) INSTRUCTIONS (JAN 2017)

The information contained in this instruction is supplemental to DFARS 252.232-7006.

The information contained in the table in DFARS 252.232-7006 is for WAWF purposes only. Information included in DFARS 252.232-7006 and this WAWF instruction apply only to WAWF Invoicing and WAWF Receiving Reports. Contradictory information elsewhere in this contract, e.g. Ship to DoDAAC, shall be followed per the terms and conditions of the contract.

When entering the invoice into WAWF, the Contractor shall fill in the DoDAAC fields or DoDAAC extensions exactly as shown in the table in DFARS 252.232-7006. Fields that should not be filled in when entering the invoice into WAWF will be indicated with the direction, "Leave Blank."

In some situations the WAWF system will pre-populate the "Pay DoDAAC," "Admin By DoDAAC" and "Issue By DoDAAC." The Contractor shall verify that those DoDAACs automatically entered by the WAWF system match the information in the table in DFARS 252.232-7006. If these DoDAACs do not match, then the Contractor shall correct the field(s).

If Receiving Reports are required, ensure that the "Inspection" and "Acceptance" defaults of "destination" for both fields are not changed in the WAWF online interface.

The CLINs on the WAWF invoice shall be entered exactly as set forth in the contract document including CLIN number (e.g. 0001), Quantity (may be adjusted for actual quantity or dollar value delivered and invoiced), and Unit Price (e.g. $1.00). The dollar amounts on each CLIN or SubCLIN on the WAWF invoice shall reflect final performance values, but in no instance can the dollar amount for each CLIN or SubCLIN exceed what is specified in the contract document. The Contractor shall bill to the lowest level, e.g., the SubCLIN level. The Quantity and Unit of Measure fields must be filled out exactly as indicated in the CLINs and SubCLINs to reduce the possibility of the invoice being delayed or rejected during processing.

Before closing out of an invoice session in WAWF, but after submitting the document or documents, the Contractor will be given the option to send additional email notifications by clicking on the "Send More Email Notifications" link that appears on the page. The Contractor shall click on this link and add the Technical Point of Contact's (TPOC) or Contracting Officer's Representative's (COR) email address in the first email address block and add any other additional email addresses desired in the following blocks. This additional notification to the Government is important to ensure the acceptor/receiver is aware that the invoice documents have been submitted into the WAWF system.

(End of instructions)

(1) SUPTXT204-9400(4-22) CONTRACTOR UNCLASSIFIED ACCESS TO FEDERALLY CONTROLLED

FACILITIES, SENSITIVE INFORMATION, INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (IT) SYSTEMS OR

PROTECTED HEALTH INFORMATION

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. This 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.

ACCESS TO DOD INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (IT) SYSTEM

In accordance with DON CIO Memorandum (IT LEVEL DESIGNATION ON DD FORM 2875 SYSTEM AUTHORIZATION ACCESS REQUEST) 08 September 2020, contractor employees who require access to Department of the Navy (DoN) or DoD networks are categorized as Privileged, Enhanced, or Authorized users.

All user level accesses may include positions which require access to Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). CUI includes sensitive information protected under the Privacy Act, to include Protected Health Information (PHI). IT System levels are determined by the requiring activity's Command Information System Security Manager (ISSM)/Information Assurance Manager (IAM).

Contractor employees requiring privileged access, (when specified by the terms of the contract) require a Tier 5 (T5) or T5R equivalent investigation, which is a higher level investigation than the Tier 3 (T3) and 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 or Computing Environment they are required to maintain.

Contractors requiring Enhanced access, (when specified by the terms of the contract) require a T3, T3R, or equivalent investigation, which is a higher level investigation than the Tier 1 (T1) described below. Due to the enhanced system access, an investigation suitable for Moderate Risk national security positions is required.

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 upon contractor employee acquiring a Common Access Card (CAC) credential. Failure to obtain a CAC credential 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 contractor 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. Contractors shall plan ahead in processing their employees and subcontractor employees. The contractor shall insert this clause in all subcontracts when the subcontractor is permitted to have unclassified access to a federally controlled facility, federally-controlled information system /network and/or to government information, meaning information not authorized for public release.

ACCESS TO CONTROLLED UNCLASSIFIED INFORMATION

Safeguarding sensitive unclassified information is critical to achieve NAVSUP Modernization efforts and deliver cutting-edge and uncompromised capabilities. The Secretary of Defense's operations security (OPSEC) campaign plan stresses the importance of protecting controlled unclassified information (CUI). CUI encompasses OPSEC, critical technology, intelligence, and personally identifiable information that, if not properly identified, marked, and controlled, could impair NAVSUP's ability to conduct its mission. Contractor

employees with access to Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) shall comply with DoDI 5200.48 - Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and complete DoD approved initial and annual refresher CUI training.

Whenever Government provides CUI to, or CUI is generated by, non-DoD entities, all CUI records must be handled as required by the approved mandatory disposition authority.

All CUI records must follow the approved mandatory disposition authority whenever the Government provides CUI to, or CUI is generated by, non-DoD entities in accordance with Section 1220-1236 of Title 36, CFR, Section 3301a of Title 44, U.S.C., and the DoDI 5200.48.

Contractor employees shall monitor CUI aggregation and compilation based on the potential to generate classified information pursuant to security classification guidance addressing the accumulation of unclassified data or information.

Contractor employees shall submit unclassified government information for review and approval for release in accordance with the Standard DoD Component Processes, DoDI 5230.09, and DoDM 5205.07, Volume 1.

CONTRACTOR'S SECURITY REPRESENTATIVE

The contractor shall designate an employee to serve as the contractor's security representative. Within three (3) work days after contract award, the contractor shall provide to the requiring activity's Security Manager and the Contracting Officer, in writing, the name, title, address and phone number for the contractor's security representative. The contractor's security representative shall be the primary point of contact on any security matter. The contractor's security representative shall not be replaced or removed without prior notice to the Contracting Officer and CSM.

BACKGROUND INVESTIGATION REQUIREMENTS AND SECURITY APPROVAL PROCESS FOR

CONTRACTORS ASSIGNED TO NATIONAL SECURITY POSITIONS OR PERFORMING

SENSITIVE DUTIES

Navy security policy requires that all positions be given a sensitivity value based on level of risk factors to ensure appropriate protective measures are applied. If the Security Office validates the contractor's position is Non-Critical Sensitive or if the IT system user level is determined to be Enhanced, at a minimum, each contractor employee must be a US citizen and have a favorably completed T3, T3R, or equivalent investigation to obtain a favorable determination for assignment to a non-critical sensitive or Enhanced position. The investigation consists of a standard National Agency Check and a FBI fingerprint check plus law enforcement checks and credit check. Each contractor employee filling a non-critical sensitive or Enhanced position is required to complete:

SF-86 Questionnaire for National Security Positions (or equivalent Office of Personnel Management (OPM) investigative product) Two FD-258 Applicant Fingerprint Cards or electronic fingerprint submission (preferred)) Original Signed Release Statements

Failure to provide the required documentation at least thirty (30) days prior to the individual's start date shall result in delaying the individual's start date. Background investigations shall be reinitiated as required to ensure investigations remain current (not older than ten (10) years) throughout the contract performance period. The Contractor's Security Representative shall contact the CSM for guidance when reinvestigations are required.

Regardless of their duties or IT access requirements ALL contractor employees shall in-process with the 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. Employees requiring IT access shall also check-in and check-out with the Navy Command's ISSM/IAM. Completion and approval of a System Authorization Access Request Navy (SAAR-N) form is required for all individuals accessing Navy IT resources. The SAAR-N shall be forwarded to the CSM upon the contractor employee acquiring a Common Access Card (CAC) credential. Failure to obtain a CAC credential or provide the required documentation shall result in delaying the individual's start date.

The contractor shall ensure that each contract employee requiring access to IT systems or networks complete annual Cyber Awareness training, and maintain a current requisite background investigation. Contractor employees shall accurately complete the required investigative forms prior to submission to the CSM. The CSM will review the submitted documentation for completeness prior to submitting it to the OPM. Potential suitability or security issues identified may render the contractor employee ineligible for the assignment. An unfavorable determination is final (subject to SF-86 appeal procedures) and such a determination does not relieve the contractor from meeting any contractual obligation under the contract. The CSM will forward the required forms to OPM for processing. Once the investigation is complete, the results will be forwarded by OPM to the DoD Central Adjudication Facility (CAF) for a determination.

For classified contracts, if the contractor employee already possesses a current favorably adjudicated investigation, the contractor shall submit a Visit Access Request (VAR) via the Defense Information Security System (DISS). If the contractor employee does not have a current favorably adjudicated investigation, the contractor shall submit the Visit Access Request in DISS until the contractor employee has at a minimum an interim clearance. If the contract only requires access to unclassified information, even if the contractor takes a DISS "owning" role over the contractor employee, the Navy Command will also take a DISS "owning" role over the contractor employee during the hiring process and for the duration of assignment under that contract. If the contract requires access to classified information, the contractor's Facility Security Office (FSO) will take a DISS "ownership" role and the Navy command will take a DISS "servicing" role during the hiring process and the duration of assignment under that contract. All VARs requires annual renewal for the duration of the employee's performance under the contract.

BACKGROUND INVESTIGATION REQUIREMENTS AND SECURITY APPROVAL PROCESS FOR

CONTRACTORS ASSIGNED TO OR PERFORMING NON-SENSITIVE DUTIES

Contractor employee whose work is unclassified and non-sensitive (e.g., performing certain duties such as lawn maintenance, vendor services, etc...) and who require physical access to publicly accessible areas to perform those duties shall meet the following minimum requirements:

Must be either a U.S. citizen or a U.S. permanent resident with a minimum of 3 years of legal residency in the U.S. (as required by the Deputy Secretary of Defense DTM 08-006 or its subsequent DoD Instruction (INST)) and Must have a favorably completed NACI or T1 investigation or equivalent including a FBI fingerprint check prior to installation access.

To be considered for a favorable trustworthiness determination, the CSR must submit for all employees each of the following:

SF-85 Questionnaire for Non-Sensitive Positions Two FD-258 Applicant Fingerprint Cards (or the preferred method - electronic fingerprint submission) Original Signed Release Statements

The contractor shall ensure each individual employee has a current favorably completed NACI or T1 equivalent investigation, or ensure successful FBI fingerprint results have been gained and investigation has been processed with OPM.

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.
