d. Quality Control:

i. Provide all quality control inspection functions necessary during initial, in-process, and final inspections to ensure repair and services are being performed to standard and properly documented.

ii. Participate, to include co-lead, in continuous improvement initiatives. The only Contractor personnel required to be “Yellow Belt Certified” are the Contractor’s Site Manager(s), Section Lead(s) and QC Lead(s).

4. ADDITIONAL PARAMETERS

a. Government Furnished Equipment/Information (GFE/GFI)

i. ASC will provide access to GFP as described in TE-3G-002 Government Furnished

Equipment.

b. Access to Government Facilities/Equipment

i. The Government will provide access to ASC facilities only for cleared personnel directly supporting this contract. The Government will issue a CAC to all qualified Contractor employees performing work under this contract.

c. Operational Constraints

i. SECRET Clearance: The Contractor shall have personnel with a current Secret level clearance. Contractor personnel are only authorized to work on classified and unclassified requirements based on their level of security clearance. Attachment 0011 – DD 254 provides further information on Security requirements. The Government anticipates personnel working in the following areas would need SECRET clearances: site manager, assistant (or alternate) site manager, communications quality control, IPDS personnel, quality data analyst, all readiness personnel, and electronics repairers working on Controlled Cryptographic Items (CCI), and those employees working with access to mobilization / demobilization / deployment information.

ii. Augmentation/Responsibilities:

a. Contractor operations primarily perform COSIS on the Combat Vehicles

(M1A2 Abrams Tank, M2A3 Bradley Fighting Vehicle Family Of Vehicles, Multiple Launch Rocket Systems, Launch Rock Systems, M88A1/A2 Armored Recovery Vehicle, M1096A6 Howitzers, and M48A5 Armored Vehicle Launched Bridge).

b. Contractor operations will fall in on existing AFSBn-NEA SOPs. These

SOPs are included as Exhibit C – APS-4 AFSBn Division SOPs within the

RFP.

c. Contractor is not responsible for the maintenance of CL VIII medical equipment or materials in either Hospital Sets or Chemically Protected Deployable Medical System (CP DEPMEDS).

d. Contractor is not responsible for maintenance production control or maintenance schedule.

e. In Japan, Contractor personnel supporting IPDS, Force Sustainment, and

Communication/C4ISR assets act as Subject Matter Experts or advisors and provide oversight of the listed density of equipment within Exhibit B

– APS-4 WL Korea & Japan. All physical work is conducted by Japanese Master Labor Contractors (MLCs), to include inventories and COSIS maintenance.

f. In Japan, Contractor personnel supporting Communication/C4ISR functions may physically install Installation Kits and perform tests on radio sets; however, most of the physical care and preservation labor is conducted by the Japanese MLCs.

g. Contractor is responsible for providing augmentation support to the AFSBn-NEA Facility engineer with facility matters related to supporting AFSBn-NEA total facility requirements, (existing, planned, needed) for equipment maintenance, supply warehousing functions, office, administrative areas for both Korea and Japan to include SGD and YND.

d. Unit Status Reporting:

i. Contractor personnel responsible for Unit Status Reporting shall perform as the primary point of contact for the Unit Status Report (USR) which includes maintaining classified and unclassified records, files, reports and forms in accordance with the following regulations Information Assurance (AR 25-2) and The Army Records Information Management System (ARIMS) (AR 25-400-2).

e. Contract Requirements:

i. The AFSBn-NEA Division’s’ SOPs, Army Policy, and Regulations should be used as a foundation to assist Offeror’s in developing contract requirements (i.e. metrics, such as work exceeding the Manual Cycle Time, Acceptable Quality Levels, other measurement standards).. Continuous Improvement should be intertwined in all facets supporting the conduct of ASP-4 activities. The Contractor shall take prudent risk when assessing the AFSBn-NEA Division’s SOPs, Army Policy, and Regulations when recommending alternative solutions from written standards. The Offerors are encouraged to provide alternative solutions that can meet or exceed minimum APS-4 requirements. The Government is looking for the “critical few” contract requirements/metrics that would be necessary to effectively and efficiently measure and surveil performance to ensure quality is being delivered. The Government does not want to under surveil nor does it want to over surveil. The metrics will encourage continual positive communication between the Government and the successful Offeror.

ii. Contractor developed Performance Work Statement must adhere to the SMART criteria (specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and timely). The document must be written to withstand changes in staffing—both contractor and requiring activity, in other words, easily understandable regardless of diversity of discipline, experience, or knowledge.

a. Specific: The CPWS should target a specific task or answer a specific need.

b. Measurable: The CPWS must be quantifiable, or at least allow for measurable progress.

c. Attainable: The goal should be realistic, based on available resources and existing constraints.

d. Relevant: The goal should align with other operational objectives to be considered worthwhile.

e. Time-bound: The goal must have a deadline or defined end.
