PERFOMANCE WORK STATEMENT

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

Electronic Warfare (EW) 17E Training Support Bridge Contract

Part 1 General Information

1. GENERAL: This is a non-personal services contract to provide 17E Instructional Support as well as EW Range Operations for the Cyber School, Cyber Center of Excellence (CCoE), Fort Gordon, Georgia. This effort will support the Cyber School in conducting U.S. Army Electronic Warfare training. 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 Instructional Support for the U.S. Army Cyber School. The estimated staffing matrix can be found in Technical Exhibit 2. All Instructors associated with this effort shall instruct, update, and revise 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. All updated and revised 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 updating and revising products the instructors shall plan, organize, and carry out special studies, analysis, and evaluations effecting resident and nonresident training. The contractor shall provide EW Range Operations personnel to facilitate training at the EW range for all EW courses listed in this PWS as well as the 17E Senior Leader Course (SLC) and 17E Advanced Leader Course (ALC). Range operations shall be performed by a blended workforce of Military and Contract personnel. The contractor shall conduct the EW Range for a minimum of 35 iterations, excluding range rehearsals. Systems to be trained and duration of training shall be identified in the course POIs.

These requirements are used to enhance the use of current and emerging technologies in all three Army training domains (institutional, operational, and self-development). Personnel shall be phased-in IAW paragraph 1.6.17 of this PWS. Material updated and revised shall facilitate adult learning through modern training techniques and methodologies and shall be Government-owned. Contract personnel shall meet the standards outlined 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 17 series personnel (17A, 17C, 17E, 17B, 170A, and 170B) that support the Army’s Cyberspace Electromagnetic Activities (CEMA) Operations across USCYBERCOM, ARCYBER, and Electronic Warfare unit’s 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." In January 2009, the Army approved the first increment of the EW Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) and EW Functional Area (FA) authorizations supplemented by additional EW Additional Skill Identifier (ASI) 1J and 1K positions for units from the Army Service Component Command to the Company level. Subsequently, in October 2015 the responsibility for EW training was transferred from the Fires Center of Excellence to the Cyber Center of Excellence (CCoE). The CCoE established the U.S.

Army Cyber School with the Electronic Warfare Training Detachment (EWTD) as a tenant unit located at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. Additionally, the EW Functional Area (FA29), the 290A EW Warrant Officer and the 29E EW Non- Commissioned Officer were re-designated as AOC 17B, MOS 170B, and MOS 17E, respectively. The EWTD will transition from Fort Sill, OK to be permanently located at Fort Gordon, GA during the life of this contract. This contract is to bridge the training capability gap for the 17E Advanced Individual Training (AIT) Courto ensure force projections are maintained while the courses are modernized and moved to the Cyber School campus at Fort Gordon, GA.

1.3 Objectives: This effort shall provide Electronic Warfare (EW) instructor/writer support for the Cyber School at Fort Gordon, Georgia. Support shall include 17E AIT instruction and courseware refinement, conducting rehearsals, and providing range support for all EW range operations. Contractor personnel shall demonstrate model behavior and professionalism at all times. Support will be conducted at a clearance up to SECRET.

1.4 Scope: This contract is focused on instruction of the 17E AIT, , and EW range operations, and shall also support EW course content update and revision for the Cyber School. The Contractor shall hire and maintain the proper mix of certified instructors IAW with this PWS. Additionally, the Contractor shall provide up to six (6) qualified instructors / range facilitators at various times throughout the period of performance (POP) for the duration of the contract to support Training Resource Arbitration Panels (TRAPs) and/or surge classes if/when they occur (Optional Surge CLINS). Instructor certification times for Optional CLINS will depend on individual contract requirements, however, 60 calendar days is the normal certification lead time for all EW specific instructors (Surge Option CLINS). When possible, the Contractor shall receive 30 to 60 calendar days of notification lead time in the event an optional Surge CLIN is utilized/exercised.

1.5 Period of Performance: The period of performance shall be for one (1) Base Year of 12 months and one (1) 12-month option year. The Period of Performance reads as follows:

Base Year 15 January 2020 – 14 January 2021 Option Year 1 15 January 2021 – 14 January 2022 Option Year 2 15 January 2022 – 08 August 2022 (7 Months)

1.6 General Information

The initial Quality Control Program (QCP) shall be delivered with the contractor’s proposal. After contract award, three copies of a comprehensive written QCP shall be submitted to the Contracting Officer and Contracting Officer’s Representative within 30 days of start date and within 5 working days when changes are made thereafter.
