Part 1 Description of Services.

1.0 Overview: Private Security Companies (PSCs) contracted by the U.S. Government (USG) operate as one means of a whole of government approach to support peace and stability initiatives in areas of armed conflict, post conflict, and comparable situations. Where military or other government security forces are unavailable, insufficient, or inappropriate, PSCs protect relief, recovery, and reconstruction activity from theft, extortion, vandalism, terrorism, and other unlawful activities. Effective discipline, training, and oversight of USG contracted PSCs build the confidence of the local population, reduce the risk of civilians and civilian activities becoming military targets, and support the restoration of the rule of law. In order to accommodate this objective, this performance-based statement of work provides a full spectrum of private security functions in support of contingency operations, other significant military operations, humanitarian and peace operations or exercises. This Performance Work Statement is for the

Global Protective Services throughout all Outside Continental United States (OCONUS)

Combatant Command (COCOMs) Area of Responsibility (AOR). Any change to performance requirements will only become effective upon approval from the Procuring Contracting Officer.

1.1 Objective: The primary objective of this contract is to secure best-in-class and on-time delivery of those Contractor-provided resources and services the Department of Defense (DoD) deems necessary to meet DoD’s global security and protective responsibilities. It is through a strong U.S. Government and Contractor partnership that this important overall security objective can most effectively be achieved.

2.5 Operations Center: The primary purpose of the Operations Center is to provide the military and other government agencies with a central point of contact for monitoring and/or coordination of PSC activities in an area of combat operations or other significant military operations. As specified in TO, the Operations Center may serve as a central point of contact, at the operational, tactical, or installation level, which allows military commanders and similar government civilian personnel to gain awareness of, track, and coordinate the day-to-day movements and activities of PSC personnel.

Requirements for the Operations Center shall be specified in TO. In general, an Operations

Center shall be designed so as to fulfill one of the following four roles: (1) an individual or team that provides accountability for PSC personnel assigned to guard an installation and coordinates their activities with military or other government agency personnel on that installation; (2) a team or cell, generally embedded in a military Base Defense Operations Center (BDOC) or other such organization, that provides 24/7 monitoring and coordination of PSC activities; (3) a team that augments the capability of the military or DoD civilian staff assigned to provide government oversight of PSC personnel in an area of operations; (4) an operations cell, either stand-alone or embedded within a military or other government agency operations center, that provides full capability to monitor and coordinate all PSC activities and movements in an assigned area.

As specified in TO, the Contractor will establish, equip, staff, and operate an Operations Center for the purpose of maintaining situational awareness over and relaying information and direction to PSC teams. The operations center will include the communications equipment and information technology compatible with military equipment, sufficient to perform the functions assigned in the TO, and capable of communicating with base operations/government counterparts. Forms of monitoring may include, but are not limited to, electronic, video, and personnel reporting. The operations center will maintain operational capability 24 hours per day, seven days per week with on duty personnel strength adequate to perform the situational awareness and information sharing mission as specified in TO.

As specified in TO, the Operations Center may be required to provide constant monitoring of

PSC activities, share and receive relevant threat information with government counterparts, maintain awareness of military and other government activities that have the potential to impact

PSC operations, and share information about PSC activities with military and other government agencies, in order to de-conflict PSC and government activities, reduce the potential for fratricide, and improve the military’s ability to provide support to PSC personnel should they become engaged in hostilities. Members of the Operations Center may be required to provide status reports, issue emergency notifications/warnings, and coordinate with other contractor and government agencies. As specified in TO, the Operations Center may be required to function as a central point of contact for military and government authorities, through which directions, such as PSC mission cancellation or modification, may be passed to specific PSCs and PSC teams.

The Contractor shall provide any needed personnel, equipment, tools, materials, and supervision, as specified by the Contracting Officer, to perform the support functions under this

PWS.

2.5.1 Operations Center Functions: At the installation level there will be an Operations Center to maintain situational awareness over the scheduling, deployment, and activity of the private security guard force on that installation. The Operations Center is also responsible for coordinating PSC guard force activity with military force protection operations. As part of this coordination, operations center personnel shall do all of the following:

• Provide security-related information from the military force protection officer to appropriate PSC personnel;

• Transmit security related information collected by PSC personnel to the military force protection officer;

• Provide daily accountability of all PSC guard force personnel to the COR;

• Maintain inventory and accountability of all PSC weapons at that installation and provide regular inventory reports to the COR, as specified in TO;

• Maintain accountability for all PSC vehicles, as specified in TO;

• Collect and develop reports and products pertaining to PSC operations as required in orders, directives, guidance, and standard operating procedures (SOPs), or as specified in TO; and

• Prepare, maintain, and process serious incident reports from the PSC to the COR and military force protection officer.

For TOs that include mobile security, such as SETs, Convoy Security, and PSDs, the operations center will require advanced capabilities to assure the safe movement of persons and property protected by PSC personnel. As specified in TO, the PSC may establish an operations center, or a cell within an existing military/government operations center, in order to facilitate information sharing at the operational level with the Joint Force Commander (JFC), or at subordinate levels in the chain of command, or with other government agencies. Such operations centers (or cells) will function more effectively if embedded within counterpart military/government operations centers (e.g., JFC Joint Operations Center (JOC), or subordinate command Tactical Operations

Center (TOC)). In these cases, in addition to the tasks listed above, operations center (or cell) personnel shall do all of the following:

• Share CUI level intelligence information relevant to private security services and pass tactical information from PSC personnel to military intelligence and analysis centers;

• Coordinate with military and government personnel to maintain awareness of threat information and military/government activities affecting PSCs and Mobile Security/PSS teams within an area of operations. When appropriate, disseminate information or recommend PSC mission cancellation or modification to the appropriate government authority to prevent incidents;

• Receive movement requests from PSCs and disseminate to appropriate battlespace owners for approval/disapproval. Provide positive confirmation of mission approval/disapproval to the PSC;

• Maintain situational awareness of PSC movements and ensure military forces are aware of PSC movements in their operational area;

• Provide a central point of contact for PSC personnel requesting military assistance.

Assistance requests include but are not limited to support from military Quick Reaction

Force (QRF) and medical evacuation (MEDEVAC);

• Facilitate communication between PSC teams and military forces;

• Track PSC movement through a real-time tracking system using global positioning system which includes a communications link with the Reconstruction Operation Center

(ROC) if assistance is needed (e.g., Tapestry or similar Blue- Force Tracker compatible systems; and

• Maintain situational awareness of PSCs operating and moving within an assigned operational area, including tracking PSCs entering, transiting, and departing the assigned area.

2.5.2 Operations Center Requirements: The Contractor shall establish an operation center to liaise with and receive operational and tactical tasks from the Government, to support mission scheduling, planning, and execution, and to manage the operational, logistical, communications and reporting requirements of SETs, PSDs, CETs, and Static Guards. The operations center shall resolve conflicting requirements according to Government specified prioritization. The operation center must contain at least one US Secret cleared member on duty 24/7 to coordinate threat intelligence and conduct planning with CJFLCC-I J2, J3 and J3 Protection Cell as specified at the TO level. Operation center shall be responsible for accounting for

Contractor’s personnel daily. The Contractor personnel accountability will be provided in the format and time specified by the government. These reporting requirements may change and/or be replaced with another of the USG preference depending on mission needs.
