Part 1 General Information

1. GENERAL.

1.1. Background. The Army’s premier sustainment think tank and training institution is the Sustainment Center of Excellence (SCoE). The SCoE headquarters is the United States (US) Army Combined Arms Support Command (CASCOM), located at Fort Lee, Virginia. The SCoE provides education and training of United States (U.S.)

Army, foreign military, other services, and civilian personnel for military occupational specialties and professional development. The SCoE consists of the Combined Arms Support Command, the U.S. Army Transportation School, U.S. Army Quartermaster School, U.S. Army Ordnance Schools, U.S. Army Logistics University (ALU), Soldier Support Institute (SSI), Defense Ammunition Center (DAC) and the Army School of Music (SOM). Although most of the SCoE is located at Fort Lee, Virginia, it does have elements located in other locations, to include Fort Jackson, South Carolina; Fort Sill, Oklahoma; Eglin Air Force Base, Florida; Fort Eustis, Virginia; Fort Leonard Wood, MO and Joint Expeditionary Base East, Virginia (formerly known as Fort Story). This single organization trains the majority of sustainment advanced individual training (AIT), sustainment functional training, and sustainment professional military education (PME). The SCoE/CASCOM is also responsible for developing individual and collective training for sustainment combat developments. Each School typically conducts individual AIT and functional training, while ALU consolidates all of the Army’s logistics PME and leader training.

Sustainment leader training includes the Basic Officer Leader and Advanced Courses, Warrant Officer’s Basic/Advanced course (WOBC/WOAC) training, and Noncommissioned Officer Academy (NCOA) professional military education. ALU also conducts additional senior level sustainment functional military and civilian training.

The Ordnance, Quartermaster, and Transportation schools will provide the equipment and facilities for the functional/technical components of this professional development training. Ordnance School is responsible for technical training pertaining to material maintenance and integrated material management of combating fire power and ground mobility material, logistics management [ammunition supply, maintenance, life cycle, and explosive ordnance disposal (EOD)] and combat support and combat service support tests. Quartermaster School (QMS) is responsible for technical training, for supply, field services, aerial delivery, mortuary affairs, and combat developments and training. Quartermaster School also delivers training for petroleum, water purification, food services and mortuary affairs. This is not all encompassing of the QMS functions IAW TRADOC Regulation 10-5-

5. Transportation School is responsible for technical training on deployment and movements training, rail, water and ground transportation training. The work locations will be defined at the individual Task Order (TO) level.

Mobile Training Teams (MTT) may be required to support Army Force Generation (ARFORGEN) and other operational requirements. MTT training takes place on Active Component, Reserve Component and Department of Defense (DoD) installations/sites within the Continental United States (CONUS) and Outside Continental United States (OCONUS).

1.2. Objective. The Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ), Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) will acquire services, for the SCoE, in support of its mission. The objectives are to provide training and training support services, to the schools and headquarters in support of training mission. The Contractor shall provide Training Instructors who will provide performance-oriented training using the TRADOC approved Programs of Instruction (POI). Training provided by the SCoE can be classroom training and/or hands-on performance oriented training, simulation/virtual training, and/or field exercise training or combat scenario driven live-fire training in a realistic and safe environment. The realistic combat training environment could be field training exercises, lanes training exercises, rifle marksmanship, reflexive fire, Convoy Live Fire Exercises (CLFX), Military Operations in Urban Terrain (MOUT), and Army Combatives Program training. Specific regulations, directives, standard operating procedures (SOP) will be identified at the TO level. In addition to executing training, the Schools and HQ, CASCOM develop both collective and individual training products. Although training development typically follows a cyclic timeline, there are several instances where a POI, system training plan (STP) or other training product will require updating or complete development. Specific details and resource documents related to sustainment subject matter area, systems or functions will be identified in the supporting TO. SCoE Contractors will provide support in the following three primary task areas in Part 5.

1.3. 5 Year Ordering Period: 29 Sep 2016 - 28 Sep 2021

1.4. Place of Performance. The work is to be performed primarily at Fort Lee, VA, but may also include other SCoE training sites to include: Fort Eustis, Fort AP Hill, and Joint Expeditionary Base East, Virginia (formerly known as Fort Story); Fort Sill, Oklahoma; Fort Jackson, South Carolina, Fort Gordon, Georgia; Fort Leonard Wood, MO; and Eglin Air Force Base, Florida; and McAlester, Oklahoma and its Regional Training Sites (RTS).

The Contractor shall use sound business, technical and managerial judgment, in understanding TO requirements, and organizing its work force.

1.7.3. In accordance with Special Contract Requirements section the contractor shall comply with FAR 52.222-17 “Non-displacement of Qualified Workers”.

1.7.4. Employee Standards of Conduct. Contractors shall ensure that their written code of business ethics and conduct promotes an understanding of provisions within the Joint Ethics Regulation that govern their interactions with military and civilian employees. Upon receipt of allegations or other indications of misconduct or conduct that reflects negatively on the Army or SCoE/School involving contractor personnel, the Contractor will be notified and will be required to investigate the matter fully and provide corrective actions, if necessary to the COR. Any adverse or negative conduct will be reflected in the Contractor’s past performance via Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) and/or Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARs). The Contractor shall not employ nor provide any person whose performance of work would constitute a conflict of interest or an appearance of impropriety, within the meaning of the Standards of Ethical Conduct (5 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 2635). The Contractor is responsible for the conduct of its employees and shall take prompt, reasonable, and appropriate disciplinary action against employees for misconduct. The removal, detention, or prohibition to the site or installation does not relieve the Contractor of its obligation to perform all work contained in this PWS or TO.

Contractor personnel will be denied access to and/or removed and barred from worksites and or military installations when their presence is determined by Contracting Officer, COR, Military Police to be detrimental to security, health, welfare, or safety of any individual(s), or to the detriment of the accomplishment of work.

Each school has an appointed TA to manage TO contractor’s CAC requirements. CORs will coordinate with the TA to obtain and retrieve Contractors’ CACs. TASS is an automated system to allow Contractors’ personal information to be verified when applying for a new or renewal Government identification card/CAC. Once the contractor employee’s information is registered and the completed CAC request information is processed, TASS will electronically forward the information to the TA for verification and approval.

Once verified and approved, the TA will authorize the contractor employee via TASS the required CAC. The Contractor employee will be directed to go to the designated Real-Time Automated Personnel Identification System (RAPIDS) Issuing facility and obtain the CAC. Failure, inability, or delay in obtaining the CAC does not relieve the Contractor from performing under the terms of the contract. Should an employee be terminated or departs prior to the contract expiration, the Contractor shall ensure the employee turns-in CAC to the COR for removal from TASS within 24 hours of departure or termination. The COR will notify the TA of the Contractor’s change of status and return the CAC to the issuing facility.

Contract personnel performing duties as an Armorer and/or Small Arms Artillery Repairman will additionally require a SP-167, Criminal History Record Name Search Request, to be completed by the appropriate Government authority prior to starting employment under the terms of this contract.

NOTE: Contractor must have passed local state requirement(s). Positions requiring a SECRET or higher security clearance will be identified in individual TO. All contractors are required to obtain and maintain all security clearances throughout the duration of the TO period of performance.

The Contractor shall take corrective action within the contractor’s area and immediately report these situations to the KO and/or COR.

1.10. Operating Hours and Conditions. The Contractor shall perform the services described in this PWS and individual TO during normal working hours. Contractors may be required to work a variety of schedules to accommodate the training requirements. Weekend, shift work and other hours required outside the normal hours will be coordinated between the Contractor representative and the KO and/or COR. Field exercises and Command Post Exercises may require 12 hour shifts due to the tactical nature of the environment. The Government will strive to provide 10 days notice to the Contractor prior to a shift or schedule change; however, extenuating circumstances may necessitate last minute schedule changes/adjustments. All changes must be within the scope of the TO, if there is doubt contact the Contracting Officer.

1.10.1. Normal Working Hours of Operation. The current hours of operation are 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday to Friday, excluding Federal holidays and any other days specifically designated by the KO and/or COR.

1.10.2. Hours of Operation Other Than Normal. Planned and unplanned situations may require extended hours of operations, to include military exercises, contingency operations, or weather emergencies (see paragraph 1.10).

When the Contractor requires access to a work area during a time that conflicts with a mission requirement (e.g., training area/range during a field exercise, various fields and buildings during a rehearsal, or actual ceremony/Very Important Person (VIP) visit); the Contractor shall schedule the work to minimize the disruption.
