PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

Counter-Improvised Explosive Device and Explosive Hazard Analytical Task Support Subject Matter Experts

PART 1 GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1. Background: Army’s participation and transition away from Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO) due to shrinking budgets has exposed capability shortfalls in the Army’s ability to address and develop innovative solutions towards Counter-Improvised Explosive Device (C-IED), Explosive Hazard (EH), and asymmetric threats. To address these shortfalls, U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) identified one C-IED organization, U.S. Army Maneuver Support Center of Excellence (MSCoE), to establish a Directorate for Counter Improvised Explosive Devices (DCIED). DCIED leads selected MSCoE, TRADOC, and Headquarters, Department of the Army (HQDA) efforts to identify and analyze immediate Warfighting Needs (WfN) of Soldiers and organizations engaged in OCO to assure their survivability, reduce their vulnerability, and improve their overall warfighting effectiveness in an era of little to no growth, and in some cases, with a reduction in organizational structure. DCIED accomplishes these tasks by identifying, analyzing, and characterizing the critical survivability and vulnerability shortcomings (e.g. “capability gaps”) that hinder the ability of Army maneuver support forces to operate effectively in current operations as part of OCO. In addition to this role, DCIED is also responsible for leading and participating in efforts to find solutions that eliminate or mitigate survivability and vulnerability shortcomings of U.S. forces through the identification, evaluation, integration, and assessment of candidate solutions from across the domains of Doctrine, Organization, Training, Materiel, Leadership and Education, Personnel, and Facilities (DOTMLPF).

1.2. Objectives: Provide support services for MSCoE to execute its mission to analyze, provide recommendations, and develop course(s) of action (COA) to integrate C-IED and EH considerations across the Warfighting Functions (WfF) supporting the Army of 2025.

1.3. Scope: The Contractor shall review, conduct research, analyze, provide supporting documents, make recommendations, and provide written assessments on C-IED materiel and non-materiel processes, concepts and strategies, C-IED related documents, and C-IED doctrine.

Contractor shall provide a conduit for information exchange between DCIED and C-IED and EH COI related to emerging, current, and future C-IED and EH related issues. In no event shall the Contractor act or hold itself out as representing Government or any instrumentality thereof as an agent. Furthermore, Contractor shall not speak on behalf of or otherwise perform inherently governmental functions.

For purposes of Paragraphs 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, and 5.4, when DCIED higher headquarters forwards identification of a specific C-IED or EH related tasking for action to DCIED, DCIED, through the COR, will promptly forward the request for analysis/assessment to the Contractor PM-SMA via a bi-weekly work plan (Technical Exhibit 4). In the event that the requirement cannot be delayed until issuance of the regularly scheduled bi-weekly work plan, the COR will modify the existing work plan and provide to the PM-SMA to ensure time for the Contractor to conduct, complete, and tender deliverables IAW timelines identified in this PWS.

To accomplish these tasks, the Contractor shall analyze and understand the DCIED mission and responsibilities, processes, as well as those of other organizations within the C-IED and EH COI. In their analysis, the Contractor shall consider these major Army challenges: uncertainty of future operational environment, reconstitution of forces as the result of Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) drawdown, C-IED lessons learned and capabilities supporting Force 2025, anticipating demands of future threats and a constrained fiscal environment. Contractor shall use DCIED Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for C-IED Initiative Assessments and WTI IED Lexicon 4th Edition 2012 or most current version (limited release – Government will provide at kick-off meeting) as guides for level of detail and format for deliverable materials. The analysis and assessment process is an iterative review process and shall be completed continuously throughout the PoP. Written assessments based on a thorough analysis of the requirement may require development of information papers, presentations, and other documents as specified in Paragraph 5.1. Contractor shall complete assessments, which, based on historical knowledge, Government estimates will take no more than 31,200 man-hours, during the PoP of this contract (average of 40 hour work week).

The POA&M shall include key milestones leading to the completion of the task to include an initial draft, final proposed draft, and final revised document. Time allotted for Government staffing (based on historical data the average staffing and collection of comments takes between five (5) and 10 working days after receipt of documents), and an In-Progress Review (IPR) scheduled at a minimum every 30 days until completion of the task. Government will provide a POA&M concurrence or non concurrence with recommended adjustments to Contractor PM-SMA within 48 hours of Contractor submission.

Contractor shall include a status of each tasking in their Weekly Significant Activities (SIGACTS) reports (paragraph 5.7).

All documents shall be submitted IAW approved POA&M.
