PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

1.0 General:

1.1 Scope: The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, and quality control necessary, except as specified herein as Government Furnished, to perform preform technical support for Industrial Hygiene (IH) Services, as defined in this Performance Work Statement (PWS).

1.2 Background: This is a new award for same or similar services that have successfully been acquired by the Georgia National Guard in the past. This is a new acquisition for services to be performed during an established period of performance lasting no longer than one base period of one year, and 1 option period lasting one year each in duration.

1.3 See Delivery Information

1.4 General Information:

1.4.1. Normal hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM Georgia local time. Except on recognized US holidays or when the Government facility/installation is closed due to local or national emergencies, administrative closings, or similar Government-directed facility/installation closings. Performance shall be at:

Industrial Hygiene Region Southeast Office 510 Plaza Drive, Suite 1530 College Park, GA 30349

The contractor shall always maintain an adequate work force for the uninterrupted performance of all tasks defined within this PWS when the Government facility/installation is not closed for the above reasons. When hiring personnel, the contractor shall keep in mind that the stability and continuity of the work force are essential.

Teleworking is authorized.

1.4.1.1. Telework: The Government will permit the contractor to telework in support of this requirement. In furtherance of Continuity of Operations Planning (COOP), a telework program may be enacted to ensure that the Government's mission-critical operations stay operational during times of national emergency or incidents of national significance. Telework shall be at no additional cost to the Government.

1.4.1.2. Unscheduled gate closures by the Security Police may occur at any time causing all personnel entering or exiting a closed installation to experience a delay. This cannot be predicted or prevented. Contractors are not compensated for unexpected closures or delays. Vehicles operated by contractor personnel are subject to search pursuant to applicable regulations. Any moving violation of any applicable motor vehicle regulation may result in the termination of the contractor employee’s installation driving privileges.

1.4.1.3. The contractor’s employees shall become familiar with and obey the regulations of the installation, including fire, traffic, safety, and security regulations while on the installation. Contractor employees should only enter restricted areas when required to do so and only upon prior approval. All contractor employees shall always carry proper identification with them and shall be subject to such checks as may be deemed necessary. The contractor shall ensure compliance with all regulations and orders of the installation, which may affect performance.

The Government reserves the right to direct the removal of an employee from Government property or revoke access to Government systems for misconduct, security reasons, or any overt evidence of communicable disease.

Removal of contractor employees for reasons stated above does not relieve the Contractor from responsibility for total performance of this contract.

1.4.2. Recognized Holidays: The following are recognized United States (US) holidays. The contractor shall not perform services on these days:

New Year’s Martin Luther King, Jr.’s Birthday President’s Day Memorial Day Juneteenth Independence Day Labor Day Columbus Day Veteran’s Day Thanksgiving Christmas

1.4.3. Quality Control (QC): The contractor shall develop and maintain an effective QC Plan (QCP) to ensure services are performed in accordance with this PWS. The contractor shall develop and implement procedures to identify, prevent, and ensure non-recurrence of defective services. The contractor’s QCP is the means by which it assures itself that its work complies with the requirements of the contract. As a minimum, the contractor shall develop QC procedures that address the areas identified in Technical Exhibit 1, Performance Requirements Summary (PRS). A final QCP shall be submitted to the Contracting Officer Representative (COR) NLT 10 days after contract award. After acceptance of the QCP, the contractor shall obtain the Contracting Officer’s (KO’s) acceptance in writing of any proposed changes to its QCP.

1.4.4. Quality Assurance (QA): The Government will evaluate the contractor’s performance under this contract in accordance with the Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP). This plan is primarily focused on what the Government will do to ensure that the contractor has performed in accordance with the performance standards. It defines how the performance standards will be applied, the frequency of surveillance, and acceptable quality level(s) or defect rate(s).

1.4.5. Installation Access and Security Requirements. The contractor shall comply with all applicable installation/facility access and local security policies and procedures, which may be obtained from the COR. The contractor and all associated subcontractor employees shall provide all information required for background checks to meet installation access requirements to be accomplished by installation Provost Marshal Office, Director of Emergency Services, or Security Office. The contractor shall ensure compliance with all personal identity verification requirements as directed by Department of Defense (DoD), Headquarters Department of Army (HQDA) and/or local policy (see PWS 6.0). Should the Force Protection Condition (FPCON) change, the Government may require changes in contractor security matters or processes.

1.4.5.1. For contractors requiring Common Access Card (CAC): The CAC is the DoD Federal Personal Identity Verification (PIV) credential. Before CAC issuance, the contractor employee requires, at a minimum, a favorably adjudicated Tier 1 or an equivalent or higher investigation in accordance with Army Directive 2014-05. The contractor employee will be issued a CAC only if duties involve one of the following: (1) both physical access to a DoD facility and access, via logon, to DoD networks on-site or remotely; (2) remote access, via logon, to a DoD network using DoD-approved remote access procedures; or (3) physical access to multiple DoD facilities or multiple non DoD federally controlled facilities on behalf of the DoD on a recurring basis for a period of 6 months or more.

At the discretion of the sponsoring activity, an initial CAC may be issued based on a favorable review of the FBI fingerprint check and a successfully scheduled Tier 1 investigation at the Office of Personnel Management.

Sponsorship and enrollment information about each applicant must be registered in the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) through either the Real-Time Automated Personnel ID System (RAPIDS) using the DD Form 1172-2 or the Trusted Associate Sponsorship System (TASS).

1.4.5.1.1. Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD)-12 Background Investigation Requirements: The contractor shall ensure that all contractor and subcontractor personnel whose duties require CAC card issuance obtain them and shall process all CAC card applications. The contractor shall ensure that all employees requiring an initial background investigation complete a Personnel Security Investigation Portal (PSIP) form at Attachment “TBD”, at the earliest possible date and that this form is forwarded to the COR immediately. The COR will review the form for completeness and accuracy and forward it to the National Guard Bureau (NGB) Personnel Security manager who will initiate the investigation process via the PSIP. Contractor personnel will then receive two e-mail messages; the first will confirm that the investigative service provider has received the request, and the second will provide instructions for the completion of the appropriate form via the Electronic Questionnaires for Investigations Processing (e-QIP) system. Upon completion of the e-QIP questionnaire and submittal of all required documents, including fingerprint card to the security manager, the background investigation (BI) will be initiated. The contractor shall ensure immediate compliance with all instructions regarding background investigation processing, including those provided verbally, by e-mail or via a Government system. The contractor is cautioned that the entire process from submittal of the PSIP form to return of the FBI fingerprint check may routinely take from two to six weeks and shall factor this lead time into its hiring/placement process. The contractor shall make all reasonable efforts to ensure that contractor employees meet CAC eligibility standards upon assignment to the contract and shall be held responsible for delays, failure to meet performance requirements or decreases in efficiency in accordance with the applicable inspection clause.

1.4.5.1.2. Trusted Associate Sponsorship System (TASS): The contractor shall process CAC applications through the TASS, the procedures for which are described below. Although there is no requirement for the contractor to designate a “Corporate Facility Security Officer" (FSO) to serve as its single point of contact for the BI, the TASS application process and other CAC and security-related matters, such designation facilitates these processes. If a Corporate FSO is not established, all contractor employees requiring a CAC will be required to process their own applications. The submission process for CAC applications is as follows:

1) The contractor's FSO or contractor employee shall submit requests for a CAC via email to the designated TASS Trusted Agent (TA). The TASS TA for this requirement will be: TBD.

2) The Government will establish a TASS application account for each CAC Request and will provide each contractor employee a user ID and password, via email, to the contractor’s FSO or contractor employee. The FSO or contractor employee shall access the TASS account and complete the CAC application (entering/editing contractor information as applicable) at: https://tass.dmdc.osd.mil/tass/. The contractor’s FSO or contractor employee shall follow up to ensure that the TA is processing the request.

3) The Government will inform the contractor's applicant, via email, of one of the following:

a) Approval. -- Upon approval, the information is transferred to the DEERS database and an email notification is sent to the contractor with instructions on obtaining their CAC. The contractor proceeds to a RAPIDS station (RAPIDS Site Locator: http://www.dmdc.osd.mil/rsl/).

b) Rejection. -- The Government, in separate correspondence, will provide reason(s) for rejection.

c) Return. -- Additional information or correction to the application required by the contractor employee.

**The contractor shall maintain records of all approved and rejected applications.**

1.4.5.1.3. Real Time Automated Personnel Identification Documentation System (RAPIDS) At the RAPIDS station, the RAPIDS Verification Officer will verify the contractor employee by Social Security Number (SSN) and two forms of identification. Identity source documents must come from the list of acceptable documents included in Form I-9, OMB No. 1615-0047, "Employment Eligibility Verification". Consistent with applicable law, at least one document from the Form I-9 list shall be a valid (unexpired) State or Federal Government-issued picture ID. The Identity documents will be inspected for authenticity and scanned and stored in the DEERS upon issuance of an ID.

The photo ID requirement cannot be waived, consistent with applicable statutory requirements. The Verification Officer will capture primary and alternate fingerprints, picture, and updates to DEERS, and will then issue a CAC.

Issued CACs will be valid for no longer than three years, or until the individual's contract end date (inclusive of any options), whichever is earlier.

1.4.5.1.4. The contractor shall manage requests for new or renewal CAC cards in sufficient time to ensure that all contractor employees have them when needed to perform work under this contract. The contractor shall provide at least 10 calendar days advance notice to the TA, unless there are extenuating circumstances approved by the COR or

KO.

1.4.5.1.5. The contractor shall return issued CACs to the DEERS office upon departure or dismissal of each contractor employee, and shall obtain a receipt for each card and provide it to the TA/COR. Failure to comply with these requirements may result in withholding of final payment.

1.4.5.1.6. The contractor shall obtain an Army Knowledge Online (AKO) email address for each applicant, including subcontractors, who may be deployed or require logical access to a Government computer network. Note:

If employees of a contractor lose the privilege to access AKO, they lose the ability to renew their CAC. Therefore, it is critical that contractor employees maintain their AKO accounts.

1.4.5.2. Awareness Training (AT) Level 1: All contractor employees, including subcontractor employees, requiring access to Army installations, facilities, and controlled access areas shall complete AT Level 1 training within 30 calendar days after contract start date and within 30 calendar days of new employees commencing performance. The contractor shall submit certificates of completion for each affected contractor and subcontractor employee to the KO within 15 calendar days after completion of training by each employee or subcontractor personnel. AT Level 1 awareness training is available at the following website: https://jko.jten.mil/courses/atl1/launch.html.

1.4.5.3. iWATCH Training: The contractor and all associated subcontractors with an area of performance within an Army-controlled installation, facilities or area shall brief all employees on the local iWATCH program (training standards provided by the requiring activity Antiterrorism Officer (ATO)). This local developed training shall be used to inform employees of the types of behavior to watch for and instruct employees to report suspicious activity to the COR or the KO. This training shall be completed within 30 calendar days of contract award and within 30 calendar days of new employees commencing performance. The contractor shall report completion for each contractor employee and subcontractor employee to the KO within 15 calendar days after completion of training.

1.4.5.4. Communications Security/Information Technology (COMSEC/IT) Security. All communications with DoD organizations are subject to COMSEC review. All telephone communications networks are continually subject to intercept by unfriendly intelligence organizations. DoD has authorized the military departments to conduct COMSEC monitoring and recording of telephone calls originating from, or terminating at, DoD organizations.

Therefore, the contractor is advised that any time contractor personnel place or receive a call they are subject to COMSEC procedures. The contractor shall ensure wide and frequent dissemination of the above information to all employees dealing with DoD information. The contractor shall abide by all Government regulations concerning the authorized use of the Government's computer network, including the restriction against using the network to recruit Government personnel or advertise job openings.

1.4.5.5. Use of Government Information Systems (IS) and access to Government networks is a revocable privilege, not a right. Users are the foundation of the DoD strategy, and their actions affect the most vulnerable portion of the Army Enterprise Infrastructure (AEI). Contractor employees shall have a favorable background investigation or hold a security clearance and access approvals commensurate with the level of information processed or available on the system. Contractor employees shall:

1.4.5.5.1. Comply with the command's Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) for Government owned IS and sign an AUP prior to or upon account activation.

1.4.5.5.2. Complete initial and/or annual Information Assurance (IA) training as defined in the IA Best Business Practices (BBP) training (https://atc.us.army.mil/iastar/docs/Training_BBP.pdf).

1.4.5.7. Information Assurance (IA) Training. All contractor employees and associated subcontractor employees shall complete the DoD IA Awareness Training before issuance of network access and annually thereafter.

1.4.5.8. (IA)/Information Technology (IT) certification. All contractor employees performing services involving IA/IT functions shall comply with DoD and Army workforce training requirements in DoDD 8140.01, DoD 8570.01-M and AR 25-2 within six months of the start of contract performance or appointment to IA/IT functions.

In accordance with DoD 8570.01-M, DFARS 252.239.7001, and AR 25-2, contractor employees supporting or performing IA/IT functions shall be appropriately certified upon contract award. The baseline certification as stipulated in DoD 8570.01-M shall be completed upon contract award.

1.4.5.9. The contractor shall protect all PII encountered in the performance of services in accordance with Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 224.103 Personally Identifiable Information and Department of Defense Directive (DoDD) 5400.11, Department of Defense Privacy Program, and DoD 5400.11-R. If a PII breach results from the contractor’s violation of the aforementioned policies, the contractor shall bear all notification costs, call-center support costs, and credit monitoring service costs for all individuals whose PII has been compromised.

1.4.5.10. OPSEC Training: In accordance with AR 530-1, Operations Security, new contractor employees shall complete Level I OPSEC training within 30 calendar days of their reporting for duty and annually thereafter. The contractor shall submit certificates of completion for each contractor employee to the KO within 15 calendar days after completion of training. Level 1 OPSEC training is available at https://securityawareness.usalearning.gov/opsec/index.htm.

1.4.5.11. OPSEC SOP/Plan. The contractor shall develop an OPSEC Standard Operating Procedure (SOP)/Plan and provide it to the COR within 90 calendar days of contract award to be reviewed and approved by the responsible Government OPSEC officer, per AR 530-1, Operations Security. This SOP/Plan shall include a process to identify the Government's critical information, why it needs to be protected, where it is located, who is responsible for it, and how to protect it. The contractor shall implement OPSEC measures as required by the Government. In addition, the contractor shall identify an individual who will be an OPSEC Coordinator. The contractor shall ensure this individual becomes OPSEC Level II certified within 90 days of appointment as OPSEC coordinator in accordance with AR 530-1.

1.4.6. Physical Security. (Include this section even if performance will not be at a Government facility.) The contractor shall safeguard all Government property provided for contractor use. At the close of each work period, Government facilities, equipment and materials shall be secured.

1.4.6.1. Key Control. NOTE: All references to keys include key cards. The contractor shall establish and implement methods of ensuring that no keys/key cards issued by the Government are lost or misplaced or are used by unauthorized persons. No keys issued by the Government shall be duplicated. Such procedures shall include turn-in of any issued keys by personnel who no longer require access to locked areas. (Add the following sentence if a QCP is required): The contractor shall include procedures covering key control in the QCP.

1.4.6.1.1. The contractor shall immediately report any occurrences of lost or duplicated keys/key cards to the COR.

1.4.6.1.2. In the event keys, other than master keys, are lost or duplicated, the contractor shall, upon direction by the KO, re-key or replace the affected lock or locks; however, the Government, at its option, may replace the affected lock or locks or perform re-keying. When the Government replaces or re-keys the locks, the Government will deduct the total cost of lock replacement or re-keying from the monthly payment due the contractor. In the event a master key is lost or duplicated, the Government will replace all locks and keys for that system and will deduct the total cost from the monthly payment due the contractor.

1.4.6.1.3. The contactor shall prohibit the use of the Government issued keys/key cards by any persons other than the contractor’s employees. The contractor shall prohibit the opening of locked areas by contractor employees to permit entrance of persons other than contactor employees engaged in the performance of services in those areas, or personnel authorized entrance by the KO.

1.4.7. Post Award Conference/Periodic Progress Meetings: The contractor agrees to attend any post award conference convened by the KO in accordance with FAR 42.5. The KO, COR, and other Government personnel, as appropriate, may meet periodically with the contractor to review the contactor’s performance. At these meetings, the KO will apprise the contractor of how the Government views the contractor’s performance and the contractor shall apprise the Government of problems, if any, being experienced. The contractor shall resolve outstanding issues raised by the Government. Contractor attendance at these meetings shall be at no additional cost to the Government.

1.4.8. Contract Manager (CM): The contactor shall designate a CM who shall ensure performance under this contract.

The CM or alternate shall have full authority to act for the contractor on all contract matters relating to daily operation of this contract. The CM shall work through the KO, to resolve issues, receive technical instructions, and ensure adequate performance of services. The CM shall ensure that contractor employees do not perform any services outside the scope of the contract without an official modification issued by the KO. The CM shall ensure contractor employees understand that services performed outside the scope of the contract are performed wholly at the expense of the contractor.

1.4.9. Identification of Contractor Employees: All contractor personnel attending meetings, answering Government telephones, and working in other situations where their contractor status is not obvious to third parties are required to identify themselves as such to avoid creating an impression that they are Government employees. The contractor shall ensure that all documents or reports produced by contractor personnel are suitably marked as contractor products or that contractor participation is appropriately disclosed. The contractor’s status as a “contractor” shall be predominantly displayed in all correspondence types (to include signature blocks on e-mail) and dealings with Government or non-Government entities. Contractor personnel shall wear identification badges distinguishing themselves as such. The badges shall have the company name, employee name and the word “contractor” displayed.

1.4.9.1. The contractor shall retrieve all identification media (including vehicle passes) from its employees who depart employment for any reason. The contractor shall return all identification media (i.e., badges and vehicles passes) to the KO within 14 days of an employee’s departure.

All documents and materials, to include the source codes of any software, produced under this contract shall be Government owned and are the property of the Government with all rights and privileges of ownership/copyright belonging exclusively to the Government. These documents and materials may not be used or sold by the contractor without written permission from the KO. All materials supplied to the Government shall be the sole property of the Government and may not be used for any other purpose. This right does not abrogate any other Government rights.

1.4.12. Organizational Conflicts of Interest (OCI): The contractor and subcontractor personnel performing services under this contract may receive, have access to or participate in the development of proprietary or source selection information (e.g., cost or pricing information, budget information or analyses, specifications, or work statements, etc.) or perform evaluation services which may create a current or subsequent OCIs, as defined in FAR Subpart 9.5.

The contractor shall notify the KO immediately whenever it becomes aware that such access or participation may result in any actual or potential OCI and shall promptly submit a plan to the KO to avoid or mitigate any such OCI.

The contractor’s mitigation plan will be determined to be acceptable solely at the discretion of the KO. In the event the KO unilaterally determines that any such OCI cannot be satisfactorily avoided or mitigated, the KO may impose other remedies as he or she deems necessary, including prohibiting the contractor from participation in subsequent contracted requirements which may be affected by the OCI.

1.5. Contractor Travel: Contractor will be required to travel within GA, during the performance of this contract to attend meetings, conferences, and training.
