PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS) For Deployable Adaptive Global Responder Support (DAGRS)

Vision Statement: Enable full-spectrum, mission-tailored response capabilities for non-warfighting or mixed global contingencies in which U.S. defense assets participate.

1.0 INTRODUCTION:

1.1 Background:

This requirement encompasses Research and Development Test and Evaluation. Requirements may also include incidental non-personal services within the scope of Section 3 below. All requirements may support the Research Development and Engineering Command (RDECOM), Communications Electronics Research Development and Engineering Center (CERDEC), Night Vision Electronic Sensors Directorate (NVESD) Quick Response Branch (QRB), Department of Defense (DoD) and other Government agencies.

RDECOM, CERDEC, NVESD is strongly focused on the Army Vision for the Transformation of the current to the Future Force. In order to provide the technology transition resulting in superior tactical sensors for tomorrow's warfighter, Night Vision's mission is to conduct research and development to:

• Provide U.S. Land Forces with Advanced Sensor Technology to Dominate the 21st Century Digital Battlefield;

• Acquire and Target Enemy Forces in Battlefield Environments;

• Detect and Neutralize Mines, Minefields, and Unexploded Ordnance;

• Develop Humanitarian Demining Technology;

• Deny Enemy Surveillance & Acquisition through Electro-Optic, Camouflage, Concealment and Deception Techniques;

• Provide for Night Driving and Pilot age; and

• Protect Forward Troops, Fixed Installations and Rear Echelons from Enemy Intrusion and deception; detect and neutralize mines, threat explosives, minefields and unexploded ordnance; provide for night driving and pilot age;

and protect forward Warfighters, fixed installations and rear echelons from enemy intrusion.

NVESD delivers Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance and Targeting (ISR&T) technologies that provide actionable information that enables Soldiers to be aware of their surroundings and to perform their duties more safely and with increased effectiveness. This operational insight provides tactical and strategic alternatives for mission success and mitigates the risk of surprise attacks.

The NVESD’s Unique Mission Cell is sponsored by the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics and Technology to conduct assessment activities to enhance expeditionary warfare capabilities and guide Army S&T investments.

The January 2012 strategic guidance for the Department of Defense describes the projected security environment and the key military missions for which the Department of Defense must prepare. A characteristic of the emerging environment is the need to provide support across a spectrum of warfighting and non-warfighting activities, conducted by the military, supported by multi-national and multi-agency capabilities reflecting a resource constrained environment. The DoD must be capable of conducting small footprint missions across a variety of contingencies, many of which are not warfighting capabilities, but instead are collaborative, innovative, low-impact, widely distributed and characterized by a mix of direct action, security force assistance and other activities.

The January 2012 strategic guidance for the Department of Defense describes the projected security environment and the key military missions for which the Department of Defense must prepare. A characteristic of the emerging environment is the need to provide support across a spectrum of warfighting and non-warfighting activities, conducted by the military, supported by multi-national and multi-agency capabilities reflecting a resource constrained environment. The DoD must be capable of conducting small footprint missions across a variety of contingencies, many of which are not warfighting capabilities, but instead are collaborative, innovative, low-impact, widely distributed and characterized by a mix of direct action, security force assistance and other activities.

The 2014 Quadrennial Defense Review highlights the importance of and commitment to maintaining ready and capable forces. Readiness investments in training technologies, force protection, command and control, and intelligence and surveillance and reconnaissance systems strengthen U.S. standing. U.S. forces are postured globally, conducting counterterrorism, stability, and deterrence operations, maintaining a stabilizing presence, conducting bilateral and multilateral training to enhance U.S. security relationships, and providing the crisis response capabilities required to protect U.S. interests

The United States Department of Defense Fiscal Year 2016 Budget Request Overview describes the following defense strategy.

“The 2014 QDR outlines three mutually-supporting pillars that shape our defense priorities: protect the homeland;

build security globally; and project power and win decisively:

• Protect the homeland to deter and defeat threats to the nation and to mitigate the effects of potential attacks and natural disasters. This means making selective investments in missile defense, nuclear modernization, and cyber capabilities. It also means sustaining capacity to protect U.S. airspace and shores, as well as reshaping the ability of the military forces to provide support to civil authorities when needed.

• Build security globally to preserve regional stability, deter adversaries, support allies and partners, and cooperate with others to address common security challenges. In practice, this means continuing to rebalance the Department’s posture and presence to the Asia-Pacific while maintaining a focus on the Middle East. It also means working closely with European partners to strengthen their capabilities, maximizing the impact of a relatively small U.S.

presence in Africa, and working with interagency partners to counter illicit drug trafficking and transnational criminal organization activity.

• Project power and win decisively to defeat aggression, disrupt and destroy terrorist networks, and provide humanitarian assistance and disaster relief. Sustaining superior forces remains a top priority for force planning and development, so the following focus areas will be key: countering anti-access challenges; space; counterterrorism; precision strike; intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance; and resilience. “ Building partnership capacity will remain important for sharing the costs and responsibilities of global leadership.

The United States will emphasize non-military means and military-to-military cooperation to address instability and reduce the demand for significant U.S. force commitments to stability operations.

The guidance specifically addresses the need for capabilities to conduct humanitarian, disaster relief, and other operations. U.S. forces possess rapidly deployable capabilities, including airlift and sealift, surveillance, medical evacuation and care, and communications that can be invaluable in supplementing lead relief agencies, by extending aid to victims of natural or man-made disasters, both at home and abroad.

This contract will focus on providing responsive and adaptive capabilities to U.S. Military and combined civil/military actions that involve adaptive response other than what are commonly considered as warfighting.

These include partnership building, stability operations, and other activities that support the Defense Strategy and Quadrennial Defense Review. The emphasis will be to provide necessary response with a small, highly capable, military footprint augmented by other Government organizations, non-government organizations, partner nations, and others to enhance effectiveness and affordability. This will require flexible, adaptive, globally adept performers who are able to rapidly and effectively work with U.S. military, multi-agency and multi-national communities to provide tailored capabilities.

1.2 Scope:

Within a single team framework this contract provides coordination and technology based solutions that enable and assist Army, joint service, multi-national, and other combined (DOD/other organizations) responses to activities involving non-warfighting capabilities or a mix of warfighting and non-warfighting capabilities. This includes necessary team capabilities and beyond-team outreach to facilitate future and contingency response activities in the global environment. This contract also provides a comprehensive tool to enable and enhance the ability of the Unique Mission Cell to collaborate and integrate capabilities of the diverse group of Government, industry, academic and international partners forming the global responder community of interest.

Efforts to be conducted under this contract include research and development (technology readiness levels of 4 or higher), operational integration, operational analysis and assessment, and other necessary support (logistics, communications, etc.). The preponderance of requirements is RDT&E under the NACIS 541 -- Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services/541712 -- Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Biotechnology) and may also include incidental knowledge based services.

4.9 Organization Conflicts of Interest:

a. The term "Organizational Conflicts of Interest (OCI) is defined in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 2.1; also see FAR 9.502 (c). An "OCI exists when a Contractor would face an actual or potential conflict of interest if it worked on a planned contract, due either to its other business interests or to the nature of the effort to be performed.

However, organizational conflicts of interest are more likely to occur in contracts involving: Management support services; Consultant or other professional services;

Contractor performance of or assistance in technical evaluations; or Systems engineering and technical direction work performed by a Contractor that does not have overall contractual responsibility for development or production.

The Contracting Officer will review and analyze (PWS/SOW/SOO) under this contract prior to issuance of a Task Order Request and determine that no OCI has been identified, potential or otherwise. However, Awardees shall make a preliminary disclosure to the Contracting Officer, prior to the due date for receipt of Task Order Proposals, of any OCI issues the Awardee has identified. Such preliminary disclosure will allow the Contracting Officer more time to assess both the potential OCI and the Awardees proposed strategy to negate or mitigate the OCI. This assessment may be crucial since, per FAR 9.504(e), the Contracting Officer may not award the task order/delivery order to a Contractor with an OCI that cannot be negated or mitigated. If the Contractor demonstrates to the Contracting Officer that there may be a possible conflict of interest arising out of an existing contract, the Contracting Officer will take the necessary action to delete that requirement and/or mitigate any conflict of interest that may be present. The Contractor agrees that the Government may, up to three years after acceptance of all programmatic documentation to be delivered under applicable Task Orders, restrict the Contractors future participation in any resulting program managed system acquisition action(s).

b. Title 10, US Code Section 2399 prohibits the involvement of a defense contractor in the operational test and evaluation of its own systems and equipment. Consequently, all parties must be particularly sensitive to potential, actual, or perceived organizational conflicts of interest where system contractors are or appear to be involved in the operational testing and evaluation of their own equipment or systems, including involvement as a test support contractor. Such involvement is strictly prohibited. The Contractor acknowledges that it is familiar with Title 10 U.S.C. Section 2399 and FAR 9.5 and agrees that it will avoid conflicts of interest and, to the maximum possible extent, the appearance of conflict of interest, in accordance with the principles set forth in the Statute and FAR. The contractor also acknowledges that statutory operational testing and evaluation conflicts of interest arising under 10 U.S.C. 2399 and Army Regulation 73-1, paragraph 5-6, may not be mitigated or "firewalled" using the FAR 9.5 procedures.
