PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

Cyber School Training Development Contract U.S. Army Cyber Center of Excellence, Fort Gordon, Georgia

Part 1

General Information:

1. General: This is a non-personal services contract to provide Training Development Support for the Cyber School, Cyber Center of Excellence (CCoE), Fort Gordon, Georgia. This effort will support the Cyber School in conducting training development for the Cyber Branch. The Government will 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 Training Development Services in support of the U.S. Army Cyber School at Ft Sill, Ok and Ft Gordon, GA. The estimated staffing matrix can be found in Technical Exhibit 2. The training developers associated with this effort shall develop products in accordance with (IAW) Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) Regulation 350-70, TR PAM 350-70 Series (1-16) and all applicable regulations, Cyber School Training Development Standard Operating Procedures (SOP), and Higher Headquarters Guidance. A list of applicable regulations can be found in Part 6 of this work statement. All training development products shall be submitted to the Government for review, approval, and submission to the appropriate agencies. Products shall be reviewed for educational soundness, conformance with the schools training philosophy, adherence to MOS training strategy, accuracy, deficiencies, and compliance with published guidance. In developing products the training developers shall plan, organize, and carry out special studies, analysis and evaluations effecting resident and nonresident training. These requirements are used to enhance the use of current and emerging technologies in all three Army training domains (institutional, operational and self-development). CMEs shall provide specialized advice on training analysis, design, development, implementation and/or evaluation (ADDIE) process. The material developed shall facilitate adult learning through modern training techniques and methodologies and shall be Government-owned. Contract personnel shall meet the standards outlined in IAW the requirements and deliverables of this acquisition. Except for property and services specified as government furnished the contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform instructional support as defined in this Performance Work Statement. The contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract.

1.2. Background: The Cyber School was established to provide trained personnel that support the Army’s Cyberspace Operations across USCYBERCOM, ARCYBER, and Cyber Protection Brigade missions.

Additionally, the Cyber School has the goal of providing equipment, faculty, and an environment that build Soldiers’ skills and abilities while encouraging a culture of aggressive self-development. As stated in Self Development for Cyber Warriors (Conti, Caroland, Cook, Taylor) "Aggressive self-development is a critical task for the cyber warfare professional. No matter the quality, formal training and education programs age poorly when facing the relentless advance of technology and agile adversaries. Self-development serves as a continuous complement to formal training and fosters the currency and depth of expertise a world class cyber workforce demands."

The structure of the internally developed Cyber School Curriculum course demonstrates this training mentality. The Cyber School training philosophy embraces the adult learning concept by creating an environment that is approximately 80% hands-on and 20% knowledge-based instruction. Students are generally provided a short block of instruction on a high-level concept, such as Public Key Infrastructure, then are assigned associated tasks that build and reinforce knowledge and skill through application. Students are not confined to a particular method of completing an assignment and are encouraged to “think outside of the box”.

During the completion phase, the instructor assumes a facilitator role and provides guidance and resources as needed. This method requires a marked change in typical military-style classes and demands a high level of competency from the instructor pool.

Training Developers at Fort Gordon shall be split into five (5) teams, supporting TD support requirements for the Cyber School. At contract start date, a minimum of one Training Developer per team shall have a Top Secret Security Clearance with SCI eligibility.

1.3 Objectives: This effort shall support training development for the Army Cyber School. This includes, but is not limited to: creating, modifying, and revising course materials associated with current and future Training Development requirements; developing training support documents, lessons plans, individual student assessment plans, Program of Instruction (POI), practical exercises, Test Material, assess student performance, resolve difficult student problems (e.g., students with complicated or specialized learning difficulties), develop Master Training Schedules (MTS), and general Training Development support for the Cyber School.

1.4 Scope: This Performance Work Statement (PWS) defines the requirements for execution of Training Development Requirements for the Cyber School. The contractor shall provide the Cyber School qualified Contract Manpower Equivalents (CMEs) to perform training development functions for all current and future learning products (training materials) (resident and non-resident). These learning products shall be used to educate all levels of students within the Cyber School. The majority of training material consist of technical cyber training validated by USCYBERCOM J7, DoD CIO, and the NSA, and is developed as “Educational” based training. Personnel associated with this effort shall develop training products IAW all applicable regulations and SOPs (i.e. TRADOC REG 350-70 with appendixes). The Government will own all developed products.

1.5 Period of Performance:

The period of performance shall be for one (1) Base Year of 12 months and two (2) 12-months Option Year's.

1.6.7.13 Eligibility Verification for Employment: E-Verify is an Internet-based system that compares information from an employee's Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, to data from U.S. Department of Homeland Security and Social Security Administration records to confirm employment eligibility. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is working to stop unauthorized employment. By using E-Verify to determine the employment eligibility of their employees, companies become part of the solution in addressing this problem. All U.S. employers must complete and retain a Form I-9 for each individual they hire for employment in the United States. This includes citizens and noncitizens. On the form, the employer must examine the employment eligibility and identity document(s) an employee presents to determine whether the document(s) reasonably appear to be genuine and relate to the individual and record the document information on the Form I-9. The list of acceptable documents can be found on the last page of the form. E-Verify is mandatory for employers with federal contracts or subcontracts that contain the Federal Acquisition Regulation E-Verify clause.

NOTE: The government issued CAC is the property of the U.S. Government and shall be returned to the COR upon expiration of the contract, replacement or termination of the contract employee.

(CAC card must be turned in to the COR on contractor’s last day of employment.) Unauthorized possession of the CAC can be prosecuted criminally under section 701, title 18, United States Code.

The Contractor shall develop procedures covering key control that shall be included in the Quality Control Plan. Such procedures shall include turn-in of any issued keys by personnel who no longer require access to locked areas. The Contractor shall immediately report any occurrences of lost or duplicate keys/key cards to the Contracting Officer.

In the event keys, other than master keys, are lost or duplicated, the Contractor shall, upon direction of the Contracting Officer, re-key or replace the affected lock or locks; however, the Government, at its option, may replace the affected lock or locks or perform re-keying. When the replacement of locks or re-keying is performed by the Government, the total cost of re-keying or the replacement of the lock or locks shall be deducted from the monthly payment due the Contractor. In the event a master key is lost or duplicated, all locks and keys for that system shall be replaced by the Government and the total cost deducted from the monthly payment due the Contractor.

The Contractor shall prohibit the use of Government issued keys/key cards by any persons other than the Contractor’s employees. The Contractor shall prohibit the opening of locked areas by Contractor employees to permit entrance of persons other than Contractor employees engaged in the performance of assigned work in those areas, or personnel authorized entrance by the Contracting Officer.

1.6.7.16 Lock Combinations: The Contractor shall establish and implement methods of ensuring that all lock combinations are not revealed to unauthorized persons.
