Past Performance information described herein is required on the offeror and all subcontractors, teaming partners, and/or joint venture partners proposed to perform 10% or more of the proposed effort based on the total proposed price The offeror shall submit, along with the information required in this paragraph, a consent letter (Attachment 5, Enclsure 1), executed by each subcontractor, teaming partner, and/or joint venture partner, authorizing release of adverse past performance information to the offeror so the offeror can respond to such information. For each identified effort for a commercial customer, the offeror shall also submit a client authorization letter(Attachment 5, Enclosure 5), authorizing release to the Government of requested information on the offeror's performance.

1. The offeror is requested to submit the Past Performance Part IV to the Contracting Officer at the address specified in L-1.1.

2. The offeror shall include documentation regarding their relevant past performance as it directly relates to the work being procured under this solicitation. The offeror SHALL NOT go back any farther than 3 years for the submitted data. The past performance data shall document a successful history of past contract performance.

3. In conducting the Past Performance evaluation, the Government reserves the right to use both the information provided in the offeror’s Past Performance Volume and information obtained from other sources, such as the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) or similar systems, Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) and commercial sources. Offerors are reminded that both independent data and data provided by offerors in their proposals may be used by the Government to evaluate offeror past performance. However, the burden of providing thorough, complete, and current past performance information as requested in this paragraph remains with the offerors. Proposals that do not contain the information requested by this paragraph risk rejection or a less than acceptable performance rating by the Government. All past performance comments received will be taken into account and could affect the overall rating. The overall past performance evaluation is a subjective decision based on the whole of all data received. In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305 (a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.”

4. Submission Requirements. The offeror shall submit a Past Performance Volume containing the following:

· Table of Contents

· Summary Page describing the role of the offeror and each subcontractor, teaming partner, and /or joint venture partner that the offeror is required to provide Past Performance Specific Relevant Contract Reference Sheets for the past performance experience in accordance with Attachment 5, Enclosure 2.

· Consent Letters executed by each subcontractor, teaming partner, and/or joint venture partner, authorizing the release of past performance information so the offeror can respond to such information. A sample consent letter is attached as Attachment 5, Enclosure 1).

· Client Authorization Letters for each identified effort for a commercial customer authorizing release to the Government of requested information on the offeror’s performance Attachment 5, Enclosure 5.

· Organization Structure Change History— Organizational Structure Change History. Many companies have acquired, been acquired by, or otherwise merged with other companies, and/or reorganized their divisions, business groups, subsidiary companies, etc. In many cases, these changes have taken place during the time of performance of relevant present or past efforts or between conclusion of recent past efforts and this source selection. As a result, it is sometimes difficult to determine what past performance is relevant to this acquisition. To facilitate this relevancy determination, include in this proposal volume a "roadmap" describing all such changes in the organization of your company. As part of this explanation, show how these changes impact the relevance of any efforts you identify for past performance evaluation/performance confidence assessment. Since the Government intends to consider present and past performance information provided by other sources as well as that provided by the offeror(s), your "roadmap" should be both specifically applicable to the efforts you identify and general enough to apply to efforts on which the Government receives information from other sources.

· Specific Relevant Contracts Format - Sheets in accordance with Attachment 5, Enclosure 2 and are limited to 3 pages per reference. The offeror shall provide documentation outlining the offeror’s past performance with contracts, as a prime or major subcontractor, which is the same or similar in nature, size, and complexity to the services being procured under this Solicitation. The submittal shall include rationale supporting your assertion of relevance and how it was determined that the work performed previously was the same or similar in nature, size, and complexity to the work specified by this solicitation. Offerors are required to explain what aspects of the contracts are deemed relevant to the proposed effort, and to what aspects of the proposed effort they relate.

Past Performance Questionnaire - See Attachment 5, Enclosure 3, Past Performance Questionnaire. For the contracts identified on each Specific Relevant Contract Reference, the offeror shall forward a copy of the Past Performance Questionnaire to the points of contact responsible for monitoring performance under such contracts. The points of contact shall return the questionnaires directly to MICC Fort McCoy, Kelly Gordon, Contract Specialist, Kelly.j.gordon.civ@mail.mil. Any questionnaires not returned directly MICC-Fort McCoy will not be reviewed and evaluated. The information contained in the questionnaires will be used to evaluate the offeror’s past performance. New entities that have no past customers shall annotate on the Summary Page that they have had no previous clients and that the questionnaires cannot be provided. Do not submit more than 5 Past Performance Questionnaire’s to the Fort McCoy office.

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

PART 1

GENERAL INFORMATION

1. General: This is a non-personal services contract to provide Logistical Support for the 63d Readiness Division (RD). The Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn is responsible to the Government.

1.1 Description of Services/Introduction: The Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform logistics tasks to support Army Reserve readiness for the military units, governmental agencies or other entities as designated by the 63d Readiness Division (RD) as defined in this Performance Work Statement (PWS) except as specified in Part 3 as incidental government equipment, and services at locations identified in Attachment 9. The Contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract.

1.2 Background: The “rational readiness model” is no longer suited to the “Ready Force” (RFX) scenario where certain OPLANS will drive a much larger force requirement through highly compressed timelines. We need units that are well-equipped and ready to deploy in days or weeks, not months or years. All positions in USAR maintenance facilities, Equipment Transition Sites (ETS) and Equipment Concentration Sites (ECS) are designated as dual status, Military Technician positions. To meet mission requirements temporary hires must be members of the Army Reserve when employees of these organizations are mobilized. This requirement makes it extremely difficult to hire temporary personnel. Maintenance and equipment storage and warehousing operations are vital to maintaining USAR readiness. The services to be performed from this Performance Work Statement (PWS) allow USAR units to continue their high state of readiness and fulfill their operational missions supporting the National Security Strategy.

1.3 Objectives: Provide efficient, cost-effective Base Operations Support (BASOPS) in support of the 63d Readiness Division (RD).

1.4 Scope: The Army Reserve is required to maintain and sustain all assigned equipment and materiel to the highest Army maintenance standards. Critical to this processes is the ability to integrate balance between preparation and of new systems; extending the life cycle of older systems; meeting the day-to-day equipment readiness requirements (storage and maintenance); and preparing for the next deployment. The Contractor shall provide support to perform and assist in the following primary operational areas:

(1) Vehicle Operations and Supporting Functions

(2) Maintenance Management Services

(3) Field Level Maintenance

(4) Storage Site Operations

1.5 Period of Performance: The period of performance shall be for one (1) Base Year of 12 months and four (4) 12-month option years, and an option to extend. The phase in period will be the first 90 days of the contract, and the phase out period will be the last 30 days of the contract.

1.6 General Information:

1.6.1 Quality Control (QC): The Contractor shall develop and maintain an effective quality control program to ensure services are performed in accordance with this PWS. The Contractor shall develop and implement procedures to identify, prevent, and ensure non-recurrence of defective services. The Contractor’s quality control program is the means by which he assures himself that his work complies with the requirement of the contract. The Contractor shall provide and maintain an inspection system acceptable to the Government. Complete records of all inspections performed by the Contractor shall be maintained and made available to the Government on demand after completion of the performance. If any of the service performed do not conform to the contract requirements, the Government may require the Contractor to perform the services again in conformity with the contract, at no increase in contract amount. After acceptance of the quality control plan the Contractor shall receive the Contracting Officer’s (KO) acceptance in writing of any proposed change to his QC system. The QC plan is to be delivered to the KO with the proposal and upon change.

1.6.2 Quality Assurance
