C. DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS

Performance Work Statement

Data Acquisition and Control (DAQ) System Upgrades

Objectives The contractor shall procure and install complete, operational Data Acquisition (DAQ) and Control systems, data interfaces, and networks in identified Engine Test Cells located at the US Army CCDC Ground Vehicle Systems Center (GVSC), Detroit Arsenal, Michigan. These Test Cells measure the torque and rotational speed (RPM) of an engine/motor and provide simulated road loading. The DAQ system shall collect, store, process, and analyze the data generated within the Test Cell(s). Final acceptance will be made by the Government after the system is tested by the contractor and Government with Government-provided test articles to be determined at design review. The contractor shall also provide operation and maintenance training on the DAQ system for GVSC personnel.

System Installation The contractor shall provide all necessary support, project management, labor, equipment, tools, fork-trucks, lifting devices, and materials to successfully install complete, operational DAQ systems at the location referenced above in accordance with the delivery and performance schedule.

Commercial off the Shelf All proposed systems must be commercially established. This means that the data acquisition and control system software must be fully developed and tested prior to being proposed (Commercial Off-The-Shelf).

Facility Details The GVSC facility is located on the Detroit Arsenal, which is a secured facility. Security clearances and US citizenship is required for access. All access required shall be coordinated around normal business hours and federal holidays (M-F 7am – 5pm). All contractors and subcontractors must have a limited background investigation performed by the access control center. If a contractor has a requirement to be on site for long periods of time they can be issued a temporary badge to minimize time at the gate. The contractor shall coordinate this a minimum of 10 business days prior to any visit. Access needs to be identified by the project manager and communicated to the Technical Point of Contact (POC).

Facility Electrical. The contractor is responsible for providing all disconnects, circuit protection, wiring, conduit, transformers, reactors, etc. required for the installation of their equipment to the provided service. All systems should be designed for installation in spaces requiring Class I, Division II devices and wiring below 18 inches above finished floor level per the National Electric Code (NEC).

This facility is listed in the Michigan SHPO (State Historic Preservation Office) so any modification to the exterior of the building must be coordinated with GVSC to obtain the appropriate waivers, The waiver process requires the contractor to submit a detailed modification plan before final design of the system, and is estimated to take up to six months to complete in accordance with CDRL A005. The Government will not extend the performance completion date identified below for any reason related to this process.

The contractor personnel shall possess all required and valid certifications or licenses for rigging, crane operation and fork-trucks from a nationally recognized OSHA approved vendor throughout the entire time on site.

Security Requirements

ACCESS AND GENERAL PROTECTION/SECURITY POLICY AND PROCEDURES

(a) The contractor and all associated subcontractors’ employees shall comply with applicable installation, facility, and area commander installation and facility access and local security policies and procedures (provided by the Government representative). The contractor shall also provide all information required for background checks to meet installation access requirements to be accomplished by the installation Provost Marshal Office, Director of Emergency Services, or Security Office. The contractor workforce must comply with all personal identity verification requirements (FAR clause 52.204-9 “Personal Identity Verification of Contractor Personnel”) as directed by DoD, HQDA, and/or local policy. In addition to the changes otherwise authorized by the changes clause of this contract, should the Force Protection Condition (FPCON) at any individual facility or installation change, the Government may require changes in contractor security matters or processes.

(b) For contractors requiring Common Access Card (CAC). Before CAC issuance, the contractor employee requires, at a minimum, a favorably adjudicated National Agency Check with Inquiries (NACI) 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 six (6) months or more. At the discretion of the sponsoring activity, an initial CAC may be issued on a favorable review of the FBI fingerprint check and a successfully scheduled NACI at the Office of Personal Management.

(c) For contractors that do not require CAC, but require access to a DoD facility or installation. Contractor and all associated sub-contractors employees shall comply with adjudication standards, and procedures using the National Crime Information Center Interstate Identification Index (NCIC-III) and Terrorist Screening Database (TSDB) (Army Directive 2014-05/AR 190-13), applicable installation, facility and area commander installation/facility access and local security policies and procedures elsewhere in Section C; Non-disclosure Statement; for OCONUS locations, refer to the Status of Forces Agreement and other theater regulations.

TRUSTED ASSOCIATE SPONSORSHIP SYSTEM (TASS) PROGRAM

(a) The contractor is responsible for processing applications for Common Access Cards (CAC) for every contractor employee who deploys with the military force, OR who has need to access any Government computer network in accordance with FAR 52.204-9, “Personal Identity Verification of Contractor Personnel.”

(b) The contractor is responsible for managing 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 norm is at least ten calendar days’ advance notice to the Trusted Agent* (TA), unless there are extenuating circumstances approved by the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) or Contracting Officer. *The COR will be the TA for this contract.

(c) 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. This can be done by going to http://www.us.army.mil and register as an “Army Guest” with the sponsor being the COR. Note:

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

(d) It is recommended that a “Corporate Facility Security Officer (FSO) be established to serve as the firm’s single point of contact for Trusted Associate Sponsorship System (TASS). If a FSO is not established, each contractor employee requiring a CAC card will be required to process their own applications.

(e) CAC applications must be processed through the DOD’s TASS. The contractor’s FSO or contractor employee shall submit requests for a CAC via email to the TASS Trusted Agent (TA) at -1- before accessing the TASS website.

(f) 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 FSO. The FSO or contractor employee shall access the TASS account and complete the CAC application (entering/editing contractor information as applicable) at https://www.dmdc.osd.mil/tass/operator/consent?continueToUrl=%2Ftass%2Findex.jsp.

(g) The FSO or contractor employee will submit completed applications in TASS, and will follow up to ensure that the TA is processing the request.

(h) The Government will inform the contractor’s applicant via email of one of the following:

- Approved*. Upon approval, the information is transferred to the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) database and an email notification is sent to the contractor with instructions on obtaining their CAC. The contractor proceeds to a Real-Time Automated Personnel Identification System (RAPIDS) station (https://www.dmdc.osd.mil/rsl/ provides RAPIDS locations).

- Rejected*. Government in separate correspondence will provide reason(s) for rejection.

- Returned. Additional information, or correction to the application, required by the contractor employee.

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

(i) At the RAPIDS station, the RAPIDS Verification Officer will verify the contractor by SSN, and two forms of identification, one of which must be a picture ID. The Verification Officer will capture primary and alternate fingerprints and picture, and updates to DEERS and will then issue a CAC.

(j) Issued CACs shall be for a period of performance not longer than three (3) years or the individual’s contract end date (inclusive of any options) whichever is earlier.

(k) The contractor shall return issued CAC’s to the DEERS office upon return from deployment, departure or dismissal of each contractor employee. A receipt for each card must be obtained and provided to the TA/COR.

(l) A CAC cannot be issued without evidence that a National Agency Check with Written Inquires (NACI) has at least been initiated by the FSO. TASS will be linked to the Joint Personnel Adjudication System (JPAS) in the near future. The TA will have to verify via JPAS that the NACI has been initiated by the FSO before he/she can approve a contractor request for a CAC.

(m) Details and training on TASS are available on AKO at https://www.us.army.mil/suite/portal/index.jsp or by contacting the CAC helpdesk at cacsupport@mail.mil or 866-738-3222.
