1.0 Scope
This Performance Work Statement (PWS) defines the program, engineering, and technical support services required for the Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical and Biological Defense (JPEO-CBRND) and all the Joint Project Management Offices (JPMOs) which report directly to the JPEO-CBRND. JPEO-CBRND manages a dynamic and diverse portfolio of critical warfighting capabilities that require cohesive and innovative total life cycle systems management approaches to rapidly respond to the needs of the Force balanced by affordable sustainment strategies. Due to the schedule-driven nature and criticality of solutions to the Warfighter, a cohesive strategy for rapid assessments, evaluation, fielding, New Equipment Training (NET), sustainment, and continuous product improvement activities are essential to the JPEO-CBRND support strategy to its customers. This effort establishes the requirement to provide Business and Analytical, Engineering and Technology, and Information Technology professional support, as required, to assist the JPEO-CBRND as the Total Life cycle Systems Manager for the Chemical and Biological Defense Programs (CBDPs) within the Department of Defense (DoD).
1.1 Background
The Joint Enterprise – Omnibus Program, Engineering, and Technical Support Contract (JE-OPETS) acquisition is a follow-on to the current Omnibus Program, Engineering, and Technical Support (OPETS) Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (MA IDIQ) contract.
OPETS has provided the professional civilian personnel to supplement and support program management, systems engineering, and technical assistance requirements as needed to facilitate systems development and life cycle management activities across the JPEO-CBRND Enterprise
Previous to OPETS, the JPEO-CBRND historically empowered each of the Joint Project Management (JPM) Offices with responsibility to develop and execute support contracts. This approach resulted in over seventy contracts, as well as a number of inefficiencies involving high costs (e.g., overhead rates, salary creep, etc.), inconsistent management practices, and cumbersome administrative burdens.
In 2012, the OPETS contract was awarded to address these contracting and cost challenges. OPETS contained six business area “domains”: (1) Business and Analytical, (2) Engineering and Technical, (3) Information Technology,
(4) Logistics, (5) Medical, and (6) Acquisition. Five of these domains (Business and Analytical, Engineering and Technical, Information Technology, Logistics and Medical Domains) were solicited as “Full and Open” with no exclusions. The sixth domain (Acquisition) was solicited on a restricted competitive basis as a Small Business Set- Aside (SBSA).
Under OPETS, Offerors were required to submit separate proposals for each domain in order to be awarded an IDIQ contract and subsequently compete for Task Orders only in those domains where they held an IDIQ award. This resulted in several Offerors submitting proposals on and receiving more than one IDIQ award; thus significantly increasing contractor Bid and Proposal (B&P) costs in order to compete in more than one domain as well as administrative costs in managing and executing the effort.
Across the six (6) OPETS domains, IDIQ contract awards were made to forty-one (41) contractors, of which only twelve (12) were awarded Task Orders other than the guaranteed minimum.
At any given time throughout the OPETS Period of Performance (POP), there have been approximately four hundred (400) personnel “Full-Time Equivalents” (FTEs) across the Task Order contracts under the six (6) OPETS domains, providing support to the JPEO-CBRND and its’ Joint Program Managers (JPMs)
1.2 Objective
- 3 - of 25
With the OPETS contract ordering and performance periods drawing to an end, a need for a new contracting vehicle is imminent. The JE-OPETS-BEI (Business and Analytics, Engineering and Technical and Information Technology) contract implementing strategy will result in a seamless transition of services support as a follow-on effort to OPETS Business and Analytics, Engineering and Technical and Information Technology Domain contracts.
Professional support to be provided under JE-OPETS-BEI provides related program management and technical expertise, supporting DOD acquisition programs executed in accordance with (IAW) the Operation of the Defense Acquisition System Instruction (DoDI) 5000.02.
1.3 Strategy
The JE-OPETS-BEI will be awarded as a multiple award, Indefinite Quantity-Indefinite Delivery (MA IDIQ) contract using full and open competition with partial Small Business set asides reserved for labor categories Budget Analyst, Software Engineer, and Contract Support Analyst. All other requirements will be competed amongst all IDIQ holders. The ceiling price for JE-OPET-BEI is $249 M.
It is intended to award at least three IDIQ contracts. However, the Government reserves the right to make more than three, less than three, or no awards.
During the IDIQ ordering period, award of Task Orders shall be competed and awarded in accordance with Fair Opportunity (FAR 16.505 (b) (1)) to IDIQ holders.
The start of work date for the majority of initial Task Orders awarded under the IDIQ contract(s) will align with the end of the current OPETS Business and Analytics, Engineering and Technical, and Information Technology Domain Task Orders. In order to facilitate a seamless transition to the JE-OPETS-BEI start of work, Task Orders under the IDIQ contract are planned to be released with an award date providing up to thirty (30) days prior to the contract start of work date.
Other Federal organizations outside of the JPEO-CBRND may use JE-OPETS-BEI with JPEO-CBRND approval.
1.4 Performance- Location and General Requirements
Performance shall take place in multiple cities in the Continental United States (CONUS) and Outside the Continental United States (OCONUS). Performance will primarily be conducted at or around (i.e., on- or off-site) each of the requiring offices supporting the JPEO-CBRND enterprise, including but not limited to the US locations of Edgewood Area of Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG), Maryland; Ft. Detrick, Maryland; Ft. Belvoir, Virginia;
Stafford, Virginia; San Diego, California; MacDill AFB, FL; Dahlgren, VA;, Boston, MA; Camp Lejeune, NC;
Camp Pendleton, CA; Ft. Leonard Wood, MO; Ft. Sam Houston, TX, and; Albany, GA.
OCONUS support may be required at Forward Operating Bases (FOBs) in Afghanistan, with potential locations in Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, and Korea or other OCONUS locations as requirements are determined by enemy threats.
OCONUS support is to be performed in accordance with the supported command and unit policies and procedures.
The Contractor is responsible for providing the contracted workforce during normal work hours on Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays or when the Government facility is closed due to local or national emergencies, administrative closings, or similar Government directed facility closings. Government workday core hours are between 0900 and 1500 daily. Additionally, the Contractor shall provide a performance-based number of personnel at Contractor facilities in support of the disbursed JPM locations. Contractors may determine it to be beneficial to establish a centralized office nearby rather than a plethora of small offices distributed near the various JPMs, test ranges, and other CONUS locations.
- 4 - of 25
Under no circumstances will the Contractor personnel providing support in CONUS exceed an eighty (80) hour bi-weekly period without prior written authorization of the Contracting Officer. Deployed individuals (OCONUS) may be required to work other than core hours in support of mission requirements and are authorized to exceed an eighty
(80) hour pay period; however, hostile fire and hardship pay differentials apply only to the eighty (80) hour work week.
The Contractor must, at all times, maintain an adequate workforce for the uninterrupted performance of all tasks defined within this PWS when the Government facility is not closed for the above reasons. When hiring personnel, the Contractor shall keep in mind that the stability and continuity of the workforce are essential.
1.5 Period of Performance
The contract term consists of a five (5) year base ordering period and one (1) one year option period. Contractors may be required to provide services for up to one (1) year beyond the five (5) year base ordering period.

2.0 JPEO-CBRND Organization
2.1 Joint Project Manager General Mission Requirements
The following are the JPMs under JPEO-CBRND that represent the primary end-users for services under this contract. While the mission for each represents a slightly different business sector, each has a responsibility to protect war fighters against the threat posed by exposure to CBRN threats/agents. Therefore, their overarching mission is CBRN protection, and they each have similar requirements for acquisition support services that sustain their unique mission and business sectors, as defined herein by this PWS.
2.1.1 JPM for Medical Countermeasure Systems (JPM-MCS)
The mission of the Joint Project Manager for Medical Countermeasure Systems (JPM MCS) is to provide for research, development, acquisition, fielding, and Life Cycle Management (LCM) of U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved medical systems for protection, treatment, and diagnostic capabilities against CBRN threat agents. All CBRN medical countermeasures are approved by and regulated through the FDA. JPM MCS continues to aggressively explore opportunities to partner with other Government agencies, Industry, academia, and allied countries for all CBRN medical countermeasure efforts. JPM MCS delivers safe, effective, and robust medical products that protect U.S. forces against validated CBRN threats. They apply Government and Industry best practices to develop or acquire FDA-approved products within rigorously managed cost, schedule, and performance constraints.
2.1.2 JPM NBC for Contamination Avoidance (JPM-NBC-CA)
The Joint Project Manager for Contamination Avoidance (JPM NBC-CA) is responsible for the development, production, integration, testing, and fielding of Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical (NBC) detection, obscuration, and reconnaissance systems.
