Potential offerors should review their current and planned participation in any other Government contracts, subcontracts, consulting, or teaming arrangements where they may be in a position of actual or perceived bias or unfair competitive advantage. A common example with the potential for OCOI is where an entity performs work both as a system contractor/subcontractor and as a Government support contractor for Government offices involved in related programs. Offerors should disclose any potential OCOI situations to the Contracting Officer as soon as identified including prior to proposal submission. The disclosure should include the facts and an analysis of the actual or perceived conflict and a recommended approach(es) to neutralize or mitigate the potential conflict.

DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/WORK STATEMENT

C.1. Purpose and Scope

C.1.1. Purpose

C.1.1.1. The purpose of this contract is for the contractor to provide corrosion engineering and logistics technical, analytical, programmatic, research, technical assistance, testing, training, and technical writing support for the United States (U.S.) Armys Combat

Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) Ground Vehicle Systems Center (GVSC) and Tank-Automotive and Armaments Command (TACOM)

Corrosion Prevention and Control (CPC) Program. The contractor shall provide independent analysis and assessment of TACOMs CPC Program to help administer the CPC Program for corrosion prevention, detection, and mitigation practices during sustainment and in support of

DEVCOMs technical objectives.

C.1.2. Scope

C.1.2.1. The contractor, as an independent contractor and not as an agent of the Government, shall provide engineering and logistics analytical support to include field assessments, inspection, technology assessment, demonstration, testing, technical assistance, technical writing, material, engineering changes, acquisition support, video production, research, and statistical analysis services to

DEVCOMs Materials, Environmental, Coatings and Corrosion Team and other Department of Defense (DoD) agencies to execute assigned programs and functions. These programs and functions support the DoD CPC program, Corrosion Engineering Support for ground and watercraft systems managed by Program Executive Office Combat Support and Combat Service Support (PEO CS and CSS), PEO Ground Combat

Systems (GCS), and Life Cycle Sustainment support for the TACOM Integrated Logistics Support Center (ILSC). The contractor shall furnish all supplies, equipment, laptops, facilities, material, and services to perform under this Performance Work Statement (PWS).

C.1.3. Background

C.1.3.1. Army Regulation 750-59 assigns to the Commanding Generals of Life Cycle Management Commands (LCMCs) the responsibility to administer the Army CPC Program. The TACOM CPC Program Manager and the U.S. Army DEVCOM GVSC have been assigned to manage the program.

The program creates cost effective product and process improvements to reduce vehicle and watercraft maintenance costs and improve fleet readiness. The Army CPC program addresses use of materials and processes to prevent corrosion during military ground equipment and army watercraft system and infrastructure design, production, and maintenance; collects/analyzes data on the current state of the fielded fleet; performs demonstration/validation engineering studies for new processes and materials; and supports the institutionalization of improved corrosion prevention and control as a means to reduce life-cycle costs for legacy weapon systems and new acquisition programs.

Under Army Regulations for CPC for Army Materiel, emphasis is placed on corrosion assessment, training, technical support, logistics for prevention and control of corrosion (materials and methods), research, development, testing and engineering (RDT&E) programs.

C.2. Requirements

C.2.1. General - The contractor shall provide qualified personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, non-personal services, and other items necessary to perform objectives as defined in this PWS.

C.2.2. Life Cycle Sustainment - The contractor shall support the TACOM CPC Program Manager and the DEVCOM GVSC Materials, Environmental

Coatings and Corrosion Team in the performance of their respective CPC duties as described in AR 750-59. The contractor shall provide platform specific corrosion problem resolution for fielded Army Ground Equipment and Army Watercraft Systems including Engineering

Change Proposals (ECP) and Modification Work Orders (MWO), insertion of CPC into maintenance programs, field level vehicle assessments and surveys, data collection and analysis, evaluation of field activity CPC plans, corrosion training, updates to technical manuals and documentation to support corrosion maintenance and procurement and application of paints and coatings as it relates to corrosion prevention and control in accordance with (IAW) Attachment 0001 - Exhibit A Contract Data Requirements Lists (CDRLs).

C.2.2.1. Survey Teams - The contractor shall assemble a traveling assessment team as an independent team to participate with representatives from Army Materiel Command (AMC) LCMCs and DEVCOM in Command corrosion prevention and control surveys. The contractor shall develop a strategy to collect representative corrosion data from fielded vehicles and watercraft. The contractor shall employ a strategy that achieves statistically significant sample sizes or other analytical means to identify corrosion trends on US Army vehicles and equipment by variant, location, and across the entire vehicle population. The contractor shall also develop and execute a strategy to engage with field personnel at visited installations to determine and report on local corrosion mitigation processes, significant and unique issues faced, and compliance with Army regulation and guidance on field-level corrosion prevention and control. The contractor shall ensure that the survey team includes corrosion engineers capable of gathering and analyzing data indicative of class problems for potential ECP development. The contractor shall use the results of these surveys to identify and report corrosion-prone areas of Army weapon systems (for example, vehicles, aircraft, watercraft, and trailers) in order to determine the cause of the corrosion problems and deliver those results IAW CDRL A004 and A005.

C.2.2.2. Data Collection and Analysis - The contractor shall collect and analyze data on Army Watercraft Systems, fielded ground weapon systems, and equipment using existing digital assessment tools for the purposes of tracking corrosion progression. The contractor shall provide data allowing for trend analysis and isolation of problem areas for possible redesign, as well as support analysis of data on watercraft, fielded ground weapon systems, and equipment.
