Administrative Engineering Support Services for Assault Craft Unit Five (ACU 5) at Camp Pendleton, CA 92055

1. GENERAL:

This is a non-personal services contract to obtain Administrative Engineering support services required to maintain a physical and electronic technical publications library, provide LCAC subject matter expertise, and conduct craft material inspections for ACU 5 at Camp Pendleton, CA.

The Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn is responsible to the Government.

1.1. Description of Services: The Administrative Engineer shall maintain the Planning and Estimating Technical Library and provide technical LCAC expertise and support to ACU 5.

1.2. Background: Assault Craft Unit FIVE (ACU 5), located at Camp Pendleton California, provides the operational commander with fully manned, trained, maintained and properly supported Landing Craft Air Cushions (LCACs) ready to conduct prompt, sustained combat and non-combat operations. The LCAC is an air cushioned vehicle for transporting, ship-to-shore and across the beach, personnel, weapons, equipment and cargo of the assault elements of the Marine Air-Ground Task Force. It is a high-speed, over-the-beach, fully amphibious landing craft, capable of carrying a 60-75-ton payload. It is used to transport the weapons systems, equipment, cargo and personnel of the assault elements of the Marine Air- Ground Task Force from ship to shore and across the beach. An LCAC can carry heavy payloads, such as an M-I tank at high speeds. The LCAC payload capability and speed combine to significantly increase the ability of the Marine Ground Element to reach the shore. Air cushion technology allows this vehicle to reach more than 70 percent of the world's coastline, while only about 15 percent of that coastline is accessible by conventional landing craft. The ACU 5 compound at MCB Camp Pendleton is an administrative, operational, training, and intermediate and depot level maintenance facility for the west coast contingent of the Navy LCAC program. It includes 108 acres of service roads, administrative buildings, machine and fabrication shops, 8 LCAC hangars, food service kitchen and dining facility, sleeping and shower facilities, 400,000gallon fuel storage and delivery complex, LCAC control tower with associated communication systems, wash rack, concrete LCAC service apron, logistics and pans warehouse, an operational emergency response fire department facility, armory, and over 1,800 ft. of beach front. Associated systems include: potable water, sewer, contaminated water reclamation and LCAC wash rack, 400 Hz power provided to the apron and hangars, 100 fl. apron lighting and compound security lighting, emergency diesel generation, low pressure compressed air, fire prevention, physical security and cyber systems.

3. The paying office is responsible for making payment of proper invoices after acceptance is documented.

4. The Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) is responsible for interface with the contractor and performance of duties such as those set forth below. It is emphasized that only the PCO/CAO has the authority to modify the terms of the contract. In no event will any understanding, agreement, modification, change order, or other matter deviating from the terms of the basic contract between the contractor and any other person be effective or

N0024426R3109 mailto:dionte.l.grays.civ@us.navy.mil mailto:christine.jordan@navy.mil mailto:vincent.v.tes.mil@us.navy.mil binding on the Government. If in the opinion of the contractor an effort outside the scope of the contract is requested, the contractor shall promptly notify the PCO in writing.

Subsequent CPARs covering any contract option periods should be ready at 1-year intervals thereafter.

c. Invoice Review and Approval/Inspection and Acceptance

(1) The COR is responsible for quality assurance of services performed and acceptance of the services or deliverables. The COR shall expeditiously review copies of the contractor's invoices or vouchers, certificate of performance and all other supporting documentation to determine the reasonableness of the billing. In making this determination, the COR must take into consideration all documentary information available and any information developed from personal observations.

(2) The COR must indicate either complete or partial concurrence with the contractor's invoice/voucher by executing the applicable certificate of performance furnished by the contractor. The COR must be cognizant of the invoicing procedures and prompt payment due dates detailed elsewhere in the contract.

(3) The COR will provide the PCO and the CAO with copies of acceptance documents such as Certificates of Performance.

(4) The COR shall work with the Contractor to obtain and execute a final invoice no more than 60 days after completion of contract performance. The COR shall ensure that the invoice is clearly marked as a "Final Invoice."

d. Contract Modifications. The COR is responsible for developing the statement of work for change orders or modifications and for preparing an independent government cost estimate of the effort described in the proposed statement of work.

(3) The COR must take prompt action to provide the PCO with any contractor or technical code request for change, deviation or waiver, along with any supporting analysis or other required documentation.

f. Government Furnished Property. When government property is to be furnished to the contractor, the COR will take the necessary steps to insure that it is furnished in a timely fashion and in proper condition for use. The COR will maintain adequate records to ensure that property furnished is returned and/or that material has been consumed in the performance of work.

h. Standards of Conduct. The COR is responsible for reading and complying with all applicable agency standards of conduct and conflict of interest instructions.

i. Written Report/Contract Completion Statement.

The report shall be submitted within 30 days prior to the exercise of any contract option and 60 days after contract completion.

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. The 5 CFR 32 Part 157 in concert with DoD Manual 1000.13, Vol 1, implements the Federal Standards.

APPLICABILITY

This text applies to all DoD sponsored individuals who require CAC eligibility (or login and P/W if acceptable per contract) for:

Physical access to DoD facilities or non-DoD facilities on behalf of DoD; Logical access to information systems (whether on site or remotely); or remote access to DoD networks that use only the CAC logon for user authentication, or access to sensitive and protected information. This applies to the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), the Military Departments, the Office of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Joint Staff, the Combatant Commands, the Office of the Inspector General of the DoD, the Defense Agencies, the DoD Field Activities and all other organizational entities within the DoD (hereinafter referred to collectively as the "DoD Components").

Each contractor employee providing services at a Navy command under this contract is required to obtain a DoD CAC. Additionally, depending on the level of computer/network access, the contract employee will require a successful investigation as detailed below.

ACCESS TO FEDERAL FACILITIES

Definition. As used in this clause - Military installation means a base, camp, post, station, yard, center, or other activity under the jurisdiction of the Secretary of a military department, or, in the case of an activity in a foreign country, under the operational control of the Secretary of a military department or the Secretary of Defense (see 10 U.S.C. 2801(c)(4)).

Per HSPD-12 and implementing guidance, all contractor employees working at a federally controlled base, facility or activity under this clause will require a DoD CAC. When access to a base, facility or activity is required contractor employees shall in-process with the Command's Security Manager (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.

Training. Contractor employees who require routine physical access to a Federally controlled facility or military installation shall complete "Level I Antiterrorism Awareness Training" prior to gaining access to a facility and annually thereafter in accordance with DoDI O-2000.16 Vol. 1. In accordance with Department of Defense Instruction O-2000.16 Volume 1, DoD Antiterrorism (AT) Program Implementation: DoD AT Standards, Level I Antiterrorism Awareness Training shall be completed by:

1. Completion of "Level I Antiterrorism Awareness Training" available at https://jkodirect.jten.mil/pdf/atl1/launch.html; or

2. Under the instruction of a qualified Level I Antiterrorism Awareness instructor; or

3. By providing a training certificate for "Level I Antiterrorism Awareness Training" training showing completion within the last calendar year.

The contractor will submit certificates of completion for each affected contractor employee and subcontractor employee to the COR or to the contracting officer, if a COR is not assigned, prior to being granted access to a Federally controlled facility or military installation.

Subcontracts. The Contractor shall include the substance of this clause, including this paragraph (d), in subcontracts, including subcontracts for commercial items, when subcontractor performance requires routine physical access to a Federally-controlled facility or military installation.

OPERATION SECURITY (OPSEC)

It is DoD policy according to DoD Directive 5205.02E, "DoD Operations Security (OPSEC) Program," June 20, 2012, as amended to establish and maintain OPSEC programs to ensure national security-related missions and functions are protected.

Training: Contractor employees shall comply with all DoD OPSEC requirements and complete "OPSEC Awareness for Military Members, DoD Employees and Contractor" training within 30 days of onboarding the contract and annual refresher training thereafter.

Training shall be completed through a DoD sponsored and certified computer or web-based learning instruction available at https://securityawareness.usalearning.gov/opsec/index.htm.

The contractor will submit certificates of completion for each affected contractor employee and subcontractor employee to the COR or to the contracting officer, if a COR is not assigned, within 30 calendar days after training is completed by all employees and subcontractor personnel.

START-UP PERIOD

All contractor resource onboarding documents must be submitted via the prime contractor. The prime contractor shall make all necessary preparations to assume full responsibility for productive performance as of the performance start date.

Definition of "productive":

a. OF-306 signed by contractor employee

b. FD-258 Fingerprint Card (Contingent upon availability of electronic fingerprinting submission)

c. Completed Electronic Investigation (e-QIP)

d. All contractor employees with need for a Common Access Card (CAC) must have an active Defense Information System for Security (DISS) profile.

e. Common Access Card (CAC)

f. DISS Visit Request submitted (Contingent upon classification of work being performed, Confidential, Secret, Top Secret).

Note (1): Invoicing by the contractor will begin as of the commencement of the performance period of services and no reimbursement will be paid by the government for efforts expended during the start-up period.

Note (2): Foreign Nationals are not allowed access to the functional/system side of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP).

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.
