PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

C.1 GENERAL INFORMATION

C.1.1 SCOPE OF WORK The contractor shall provide non-personal services for test engineering, analysis and support of the White Sands Missile Range (WSMR) mission, its tenants and ATEC Organizations. The contractor shall furnish services to include test planning;

coordination; execution; and reporting of test results, data collection, entry and analysis, engineering and technical support, software analysis, software development, data Management, Manpower and Personnel Integration (MANPRINT), Foreign National/media escorts, access monitors, program management, flight safety and systems engineering support services necessary for and incident to the performance of the requirements set forth in accordance with this performance work statement and the priorities established by the Government.

C.1.2 MISSION VISION and VALUES

C.1.2.1 MISSION White Sands Missile Range is a Major Range and Test Facility Base providing long-range open-air developmental, operational, and environmental testing; training support; live fire support; and other defense services in support of our Nation’s National Security Strategy.

C.1.2.2 VISION White Sands Missile Range as a vibrant and collaborative community of organizations; safely and sustainably providing a broad range of critical testing, training, and live fire support for the Department of Defense, other government agencies, and private industry; a recognized leader of providing cost-effective, value-driven, and high quality services; a fully- integrated and mutually supportive family of Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Civilians; and an installation of choice for residents, tenants, and customers.

C.1.2.3 VALUES: In addition to the Army’s core values of loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity, and personal courage in the team’s leadership philosophy, we will emphasize customer service, teamwork and stewardship.

C.1.3 CONTRACT BACKGROUND The TEAS contract has historically been a cost-plus-award-fee contract awarded competitively as an 8A using best value procedures in 1997. The contract support comprises approximately 50% of the workforce of the Materiel Test Directorate of the White Sands Test Center among support to other tenant and organizations on WSMR. The work assignment orders have generally been stable across the described service areas with some variance based on particular test programs and short-term temporary requirements.

C.1.4 LOCATION Headquarters, WSMR is located about 25 miles east of Las Cruces, New Mexico and 50 miles west of Alamogordo, New Mexico and 50 miles north of El Paso Texas.

The range is about 40 miles wide and 100 miles long, not including range extension areas. There are many WSMR organizations and tenants, located primarily in the Headquarters area, with diverse requirements for support services. The majority of the support services requirements will be stationed within the Headquarters region. However, the test mission and support requirements will require the contractor to be prepared to provide defined services across the breadth of the range at disparate temporary and permanent locations, remote sites in the region, as far south as Ft. Bliss Texas and as far north as launch complex 94 and various CONUS and OCONUS locations in direct support of the WSMR mission on temporary duty status. The contractor shall be prepared to provide and manage support personal at duty stations including main post or headquarters region, Stallion Range Center, mid-range Tularosa Gate, Holloman Air Force Base area and Ft. Bliss on a regular basis and in an efficient and effective manner.

C.1.4.1 MISSION HOURS OF OPERATION The majority of the WSMR workforce work a compressed work schedule consisting of four 9-hour days with core hours between 7:00 AM – 4:30 PM Monday thru Thursday an 8 hour day on the first Friday of the pay period with core hours between 0700 and 1530 with the second Friday of the pay period as a non-work day.

However, based on the test mission requirements, the work schedule may revert to standard 8-hour days 5 days a week with a standard work week or one that includes Sunday through Thursday or out to Tuesday through Friday as required to accomplish the mission in a safe and effective manner. The majority of the WSMR mission personnel are on a variable tour where regular work hours and days may vary by mission support requirements and in some cases require shifts to provide the necessary support. Missions requiring variances in workdays and hours are generally known well in advance of the week the work will be performed as directly coordinated by the Government. The contractor shall be prepared to support these working hours and schedule accordingly and commensurate with the Government personnel support schedule by test program requirement. Though overtime will be required on an occasional basis (approximately 10%), the contractor management policies shall minimize the need for overtime through productivity and application of work hours and schedules as to maximize effectiveness and safety of the workforce and minimize cost. The contractor support on overtime will be as required to support the mission, requested and approved by the administrative contracting officer representative, contracting officer and director of the supported organization. Policies and procedures may vary slightly with the contractor required to comply accordingly. Outside normal working hours, some facilities may not be accessible, and assistance from WSMR personnel may be limited. Additionally, access roads to and within the boundaries of White Sands Missile Range are subject to closing for live missile firings or other military operations.

Roadblocks are normally one to two hours in duration. The contractor must monitor and plan accordingly as the roadblocks or limited access does not relieve the contractor from performance of any contractual duties. Occasional rescheduling of work requirements may result due to missile firings or other military operations. It is the contractor’s responsibility to reschedule any and all work requirements due to roadblocks and evacuations. Roadblock information may be obtained by calling (575) 678-1178; information is prerecorded and subject to change without notice.

C.1.5 SAFETY AND ACCIDENT PREVENTION Contractors are responsible for implementing a safety program to ensure that all operations and activities are in compliance with Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) standards and any other applicable safety and health standards.
