SECTION C.1. GENERAL.

C.1.1 SCOPE. This is a non-personal services contract to provide Information Technology (IT), IT logistics, and cybersecurity support to Army Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC) Headquarters (HQs), the Army Evaluation Center (AEC) and the U.S. Army Aberdeen Test Center (ATC) at APG, MD; and the Operational Test Command (OTC), at Fort Hood, TX; and possibly other test locations. Minimal support may also be required at Fort Bragg, NC; Fort Huachuca, AZ; Fort Bliss, TX; Fort Sill, OK, Huntsville, AL or other locations throughout the life of this contract. The contractor shall provide all qualified personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, management, and other items/services not otherwise provided to perform these requirements.

C.1.2 SUMMARY: Currently, there are approximately 900 IT users at ATEC HQs/AEC, 1,500 at ATC, and 900 at OTC. On an intermittent basis, the contractor shall be required to perform non-personal services in support of other Department of Defense (DOD) activities at locations other than the locations identified in Paragraph C.1.1 above. Not all of the functions described within this PWS will be required at all of these locations. It will be specified within this PWS if a function is required at only one or some of the locations.

As set forth in FAR 7.5, the contractor shall not perform inherently governmental functions. The Government will not exercise any supervision or control over the contract personnel performing services herein. All personnel engaged in performing the services under this contract (i.e., direct labor and subcontracted labor) shall be accountable solely to the contractor who, in turn is responsible to the Government. Any effort reflected in this PWS may be identified during contract performance for higher priority, different performance locations, and varied level of intensity. The Government will provide to the contractor’s leaders all workforce prioritization requirements, which may include intermittent/infrequent and fluctuating efforts for IT, IT-associated services, and direct test support. The contractor shall be capable of meeting these requirements by means of increasing, decreasing, or relocating personnel, equipment, and materials at various locations in the continental United States (CONUS).

C.1.3 BACKGROUND.

C.1.3.1 ATEC is one of DOD’s foremost test and training organizations supporting DOD, non-DOD, and commercial materiel developers by testing a broad spectrum of equipment throughout their life cycles, from concept through deployment. As such, ATEC is not a material, item, or system developer. Rather, it provides crucial test support to such developers who are ATEC's primary customers. This contract support is devoted primarily to support ATEC HQ and its subordinate organizations as they conduct tests, operate and maintain the ranges, facilities, and equipment necessary to perform testing for their customers.

C.1.3.2 ATEC’s mission is to plan, conduct, and integrate developmental testing, independent operational testing, independent evaluations, assessments, and experiments in order to provide essential information to decision makers for our Nation's Warfighter. ATEC provides the most flexible, responsive, innovative, and diverse set of test capabilities, assets, and services throughout the Army for providing test and test support services for authorized customers.

C.1.3.3 To accomplish this, ATEC will:

a. Deliver value-added products and services to its customers;

b. Identify and optimize the process and capabilities essential to providing quality and timely products and services;

c. Provide, develop, sustain, and integrate people, technological capabilities, and procedures; and,

d. Identify, secure, and allocate resources necessary to meet ATEC’s mission requirement through efficient, flexible and responsive management.

C.1.3.4 To successfully support ATEC's mission, ATEC requires the ability to rapidly move, store, and retrieve data from a wide variety of sources and locations in a highly reliable and secure manner. ATEC requires a high level of technical expertise, flexibility, and depth of professional and technical expertise in order to meet its mission goals and objectives. A technical staff capable of modifying and operating sophisticated information management systems in a timely and cost-efficient manner is required to meet the needs of ATEC.

C.1.4 INSTALLATION INFORMATION. Information regarding the locations in Paragraph C.1.1 above can be found at the following websites:

https://www.apg.army.mil https://www.hood.army.mil https://www.bliss.army.mil, https://www.sill.army.mil, https://www.huachuca.army.mil, and https://www.bragg.army.mil

C.1.4.3 The contractor shall be in compliance with all Army, federal, state, local, ATEC, OTC, ATC, AEC, APG, Fort Hood, Fort Huachuca, Fort Bliss, Fort Sill, and Fort Bragg regulations, policies, and procedures.

C.1.4.4 Accident Reporting. The contractor shall report all accidents resulting in injury, death, or property damage in accordance with (IAW) the regulations of the organization/military installation at their designated performance locations.

C.1.4.5 Fraud, Waste, and Abuse. The contractor shall be responsible for maintaining proper conduct and good discipline within contractor occupied work area(s).

The contractor shall not begin or continue performance once the contractor becomes aware of a 10 USC Section 2399 violation or any other OCI situation without the Contracting Officer’s (KO) approval. The contractor shall own the burden to monitor, report, and resolve any Title 10, USC Section 2399, violations and all potential OCI issues that arise during the performance of this contract.

C.1.5.3 The KO will analyze all potential OCIs and determine if an actual OCI exists and whether an actual OCI can be mitigated.

C.1.5.4 The contractor shall not employ off-duty Government personnel who represent the KO or who perform contract surveillance, nor any other person who is an employee of the U.S. Government or DOD, either military or civilian, if such employment would create a conflict of interest or be contrary to the policies contained in Section I clauses regarding conflicts of interest. The contractor shall not employ any person who is an employee of the Department of the Army (DA), military or civilian, to perform work under this effort without first obtaining approvals required by DOD 5500.7-R and implementing Army regulations.
