PERFORMANCE WORKSTATEMENT (PWS)
Integrated Decision Support (IDS) and
Related Technical and Program Support
General Information
1. GENERAL: This is a non-personal services contract to provide Integrated Decision Support (IDS) and related technical and program related support. 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 all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform support as defined in this Performance Work Statement except for those items specified as Government furnished property and services. The Contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract.
1.2. Background: Office of the Assistant Chief of Staff for Installation Management (OACSIM) is responsible for managing the Army's facilities infrastructure and base support planning at the headquarters level. To accomplish this, the staff conducts detailed and prescriptive analyses of base support issues and evaluates future facilities requirements against the available real estate, facilities, and infrastructure. Force structure on installations drives most facilities requirements. Facilities restrictions and conditions can also drive force structure stationing decisions.
a. The Army staff looks to the OACSIM for recommendations on a wide range of installation planning, stationing, programming, and utilization issues. In addition to evaluating routine facility requests (construction, modernization, adaptive reuse, and lease alternatives) and discretionary restationing of forces, the OACSIM evaluates facility requirements and force structure changes in support of major force structure and installation realignment decisions. Further, the OACSIM has functional responsibility for programming funds for base operations of Army installations.
b. This requirement is for Management and Professional services in the form of Real Property information systems (para 1.2.1) expertise. The Contractors shall provide subject matter expertise in updating critical series of data, reports, charts, and graphs that support the continual analysis of facilities requirements, conditions, and costs at
Army installations, as well as Army Commands, Direct Reporting Units and HQDA facility structure p l a n n i n g initiatives. This includes analysis and assembly of datasets to support Army-wide facility excess capacity, facility mitigation, the Army’s demolition program, and the Facilities Sustainment, Restoration, and Modernization (FSRM) Programming
Planning, Budgeting, and Execution (PPBE) cycle. The requirement also includes data mining, data collection, and data analysis through expert-level use of a myriad of Army-specific systems identified below under information sources on evolving number of studies involving base support issues, facilities requirements, facilities strategies, and infrastructure readiness in accordance with DoD directive 4001.1, Installation Support (2008).
1.2.1. Information Sources:
The majority of the systems listed below consist of two tier and three tier web applications (web browser, Oracle server and database tier) which require knowledgeable personnel who are familiar with this particular Oracle platform due to the nature in which data is pulled and transferred from these systems. Systems’ Operational environment include Oracle Database 11gR2 (11.2.0.3); Oracle Web Tier 11gR1 (11.1.1.7); DHTMLX Suite 2.5 for the majority of these systems and Microsoft Windows Server 2003 SP2 X64; Microsoft Windows Server 2003 SP 2;
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2.
1.2.1.1. The Army Stationing and Installation Plan (ASIP). The ASIP is the Army's single consolidated source of the total authorized population on Army installations. The OACSIM builds the ASIP from other Army corporate databases https://asip.hqda.pentagon.mil/default_asip/default.htm
1.2.1.2. The Headquarters, Installation Information System (HQIIS). HQIIS is an automated system maintained by the ACSIM that tracks the current inventory of the Army’s Real Property, and contains links to other data. Facilities information comes from this source.
https://asip.hqda.pentagon.mil/default_asip/default.htm
1.2.1.3. Real Property Planning and Analysis System (RPLANS). This is the primary analytical tool that supports the evaluation of facilities requirements and the facilities impacts of restationing force structure. The OACSIM maintains RPLANS https://webrplans.hqda.pentagon.mil/rplans-vpd/f?p=211:109.
1.2.1.4. Installation Status Report (ISR). The ISR provides an annual assessment of an installation's infrastructure, environmental programs, and services. It provides ratings and cost estimates associated with the quality conditions and status of availability of each facility type.
1.2.1.5. Facilities Planning System (FPS). This system computes facility space allowances for certain category codes for table of organization and exhibit (TOE) units, table of distribution and allowances (TDA) units, and mobilization criteria facilities, and is integrated into RPLANS.
1.2.1.6. Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Decisions. Prior year BRAC decisions impact on future restationing and facility requirements at remaining installations.
1.2.1.7. Military Construction (MILCON) Program. Information on currently ongoing and programmed military construction is necessary to determine the projected real property inventory. The OACSIM maintains two systems from which this MILCON information comes – Construction Appropriation Programming Control Execution
System (CAPCES ) and the 1391 Processor.
1.2.1.8. Program Optimization and Budget Evaluation (PROBE)/Business Intelligence Data Warehouse
(BIDW). The Army Program, Analysis and Evaluation Directorate (PA&E) manages the PROBE (BIDW) database containing the Army’s requirements and funding for budget and programming years.

1.6.19. Organizational Conflict of Interest: Contractor and subcontractor personnel performing work under this contract may receive, have access to or participate in the development of proprietary or source selection information
(e.g., cost or pricing information, budget information or analyses, specifications or work statements, etc.) which may create a current or subsequent Organizational Conflict of Interests (OCI) as defined in FAR Subpart 9.5. The
Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer immediately whenever it becomes aware that such access or participation may result in any actual or potential OCI and shall promptly submit a plan to the Contracting Officer to avoid or mitigate any such OCI. The Contractor’s mitigation plan will be determined to be acceptable solely at the discretion of the Contracting Officer and in the event the Contracting Officer unilaterally determines that any such
OCI cannot be satisfactorily avoided or mitigated, the Contracting Officer may affect other remedies as he or she deems necessary, including prohibiting the Contractor from participation in subsequent contracted requirements which may be affected by the OCI.
1.6.19.1. Organizational Conflict of Interest Specifics:
a. Purpose. The primary purpose of this clause is to aid in ensuring that:
(1) The Contractor does not obtain an unfair competitive advantage by establishing the ground rules for a future competition;
(2) The Contractor's objectivity and judgment are not biased because of its present or future interests
(financial, contractual, organizational, or otherwise) which relate to work performed under this contract; and
(3) The Contractor does not obtain an unfair competitive advantage by virtue of its access to non-public or proprietary information belonging to others.
b. Definitions.
(1) The term “Contractor” herein used means: (a) the organization (hereinafter referred to as "it" or "its") entering into this agreement with the Government; (b) all business organizations with which it may merge, join or affiliate now or in the future and in any manner whatsoever, or which hold or may obtain, by purchase or otherwise, direct or indirect control of it; (c) its parent organization if any and any of its present or future subsidiaries, associates, affiliates, or holding companies, and; (d) any organization or enterprise over which it has direct or indirect control now or in the future.
(2) The term "proprietary information" for purposes of this clause means any information considered so valuable by its owners that it is held secret by them and their licensees. Information furnished voluntarily by the owner without limitations on its use, or which is available without restrictions from other sources, is not considered proprietary.
c. Organizational Conflicts of Interest Examples. The following examples illustrate situations in which organizational conflicts of interest may arise. These examples are not all inclusive.
(1) Biased Ground Rules. This type of conflict may arise in situations where a company sets the ground rules for a future competition. For example, when a Contractor develops requirements then competes to provide products or services to satisfy those requirements, thus obtaining a competitive advantage.
(2) Impaired Objectivity. This type of conflict may exist where a Contractor’s obligations under a contract require objectivity, but another role of the Contractor casts doubt on its ability to be truly objective. An example of this type of conflict is where a Contractor’s work under one contract entails evaluating itself, its affiliates, or its competitors under a separate contract.
(3) Unequal Access to Information. This type of conflict may arise when a Contractor has access to nonpublic or proprietary information as part of its performance under a contract that gives it an unfair advantage in a competition for a later contract.
d. General Constraints. The provisions of FAR Subpart 9.5, Organizational and Consultant Conflicts of Interest, concerning organizational conflicts of interest govern this contract. Potential conflicts may exist in accordance with
FAR 9.505-1, Providing Systems Engineering and Technical Direction, through 9.505-
e. Obtaining Access to Proprietary Information. In this regard, the Contractor is responsible for identifying any actual or potential organizational conflicts of interest to the Contracting Officer that arise as the result of performance under this contract. To avoid or mitigate a potential conflict related to performance under this contract, the Contracting Officer will impose appropriate constraints such as the constraints discussed below. Since it is impossible to foresee all of the circumstances that might give rise to organizational conflicts of interest, the constraints discussed below are not all inclusive and the Contracting Officer may impose constraints other than, or in addition to, the constraints listed below.
(1) The Contractor agrees that if it provides, under a contract or task order or delivery order, systems engineering and technical guidance for systems and programs, but does not have overall contractual responsibility, it will not be allowed to be awarded a contract or task or delivery order to supply the system or any of its major components or be a Subcontractor or consultant to a supplier of the system or any of its major components
(2) The Contractor agrees that if it prepares complete specifications for non-developmental items or assists in the preparation of work statements for a system or services under a contract or task order or delivery order, it will not be allowed to furnish these items, either as a prime contractor, a subcontractor or as a consultant.
(3) The Contractor agrees that it will neither evaluate nor advise the Government with regard to its own products or activities. The contractor will objectively evaluate or advise the Government concerning products or activities of any prospective competitors.
(4) The Contractor agrees that if it gains access to proprietary information of other companies, it will exercise diligent effort to protect such proprietary information from unauthorized use or disclosure. In addition, the
Contractor agrees to protect the proprietary information of other organizations disclosed to the contractor during performance of this contract with the same caution that a reasonably prudent contractor would use to safeguard highly valuable property. The Contractor also agrees that if it gains access to the proprietary information of other companies it will enter into written agreements with the other companies to protect their information from unauthorized use or disclosure for as long as it remains proprietary and to refrain from using the information for any purpose other than that for which it was furnished. The contractor shall provide copies of such agreements to the
Contracting Officer.
(5) If the Contractor, in the performance of this contract, obtains access to plans, policies, reports, studies, financial plans, data or other information of any nature which has not been released or otherwise made available to the public, the contractor agrees that without prior written approval of the Contracting Officer, it shall not: (a) use such information for any private purpose unless the information has been released or otherwise made available to the public, or (b) release such information unless release is otherwise authorized under the contract or such information has previously been released or otherwise made available to the public by the Government.
f. Non-Disclosure Agreements. The Contractor shall obtain from each employee who has access to proprietary information under this contract, a written agreement which shall in substance provide that such employee shall not, during his/her employment by the Contractor or thereafter, disclose to others or use for their benefit, proprietary information received in connection with the work under this contract. The Contractor shall educate its employees regarding the restrictions so that they will not use or disclose proprietary information or data generated or acquired in the performance of this contract except as provided herein.
g. Training. The Contractor shall effectively educate its employees, through formal training, company policy, information directives and procedures, in an awareness of the legal issues so that each employee will know and understand the provisions of that Subpart and the absolute necessity of safeguarding information from anyone other than the Contractor's employees who have a need to know, and the U.S. Government.
h. Subcontracts. The Contractor agrees that it will include the provisions in paragraphs d., e., and f. above and this paragraph in consulting agreements, teaming agreements, and subcontracts of all tiers which involve access to information or the performance of services described in paragraph d. above. The use of this clause in such agreements shall be read by substituting the word "consultant" or "subcontractor" for the word "contractor" whenever the latter appears.
i. Additional Constraints. If this contract provides for the issuance of task or delivery orders, such orders may impose additional requirements and restrictions relating to this clause to include the requirement for the Contractor and its Subcontractors and employees to furnish the Government with written non-disclosure agreements or statements of no conflict of interest. With regard to any proposal submitted by the Contractor in response to a
Request for Task or Delivery Order Proposal, by submitting its proposal the Contractor represents that it has disclosed to the Contracting Officer, prior to the issuance of the task or delivery order, all facts relevant to the existence or potential existence of organizational conflict of interest.
j. Conflicts Involving Future Procurements. The award of this contract, task or delivery orders issued under this contract, Government taskings, or acquiescence in the Contractor’s performance of services hereunder shall not constitute or be interpreted as a determination that the contractor is eligible to participate in future procurements, developmental efforts, implementation efforts, or related activities. Only the Contracting Officers for such efforts, applying the rules, principles, and to determine whether a conflict exists in connection with such procurements.
k. Representations and Disclosures.
(1) The Contractor represents that it has disclosed to the Contracting Officer, prior to award of this contract, all facts relevant to the existence or potential existence of organizational conflict of interest.
(2) The Contractor represents that if it discovers an organizational conflict of interest or potential conflict of interest after award of this contract, a prompt and full disclosure shall be made in writing to the Contracting Officer.
This disclosure shall include a description of the action the Contractor has taken or proposes to take in order to avoid or mitigate such conflict.
