PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

Performance Work Statement (PWS) For

(U.S. Army Central Operational Command Post Maintenance/Field Support Technicians)

1 July 2015

PART 1

GENERAL INFORMATION

The contractor shall provide all maintenance capability necessary to affect the maintenance operations and personnel training services articulated in this Performance Work Statement (PWS) in support of the U.S. Army Central (ARCENT) Command Post which can be ordered to be established in any country within the Central Command (CENTCOM) Area of Responsibility (AOR) outside the continental United States (OCONUS).

1.1 Description of Services/Introduction: The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, and non-personal services necessary to perform all aspects of Command Post Maintenance defined in this Performance Work Statement except for those items specified as government furnished property and services.

The contractor shall perform to the standards outlined in this PWS. The Command Post is defined as the property identified to this contract at Attachment 1, as such may be amended from time to time during the period of performance of this contract. The contractor shall at a minimum be proficient in the setup, tear down, and maintenance of all parts and functions listed at Attachment 1. The ARCENT command post consists of two basic component parts designed to operate either independently at different locations or together at the same location.

When the two components are combined and functioning together at the same location, they are designated as the Operational Command Post (OCP). Nothing in this PWS shall be interpreted to restrict the ability to deploy the Command Post in any configuration of component or sub component parts to meet military necessity. The Contingency Command Post (CCP) is designed for long term deployment between the ARCENT headquarters or other designated location in the continental United States (CONUS) and a location anywhere within the CENTCOM OCONUS AOR. A smaller element out of the CCP can be deployed to any country within the CENTCOM AOR.

When the CCP element is separately deployed, the remaining component is identified as the CCP.

1.2 Background: ARCENT has contracted two technical personnel for approximately the last five years, who were tasked with immediately performing work to restore all technical communication equipment between the ARCENT Commander’s nine M1087 trucks and to set-up a Command Post when needed. Two personnel were contracted to perform whatever technical work was required to keep all CCP equipment in operational status at all times. The previous contract required contractors to deploy to any of five specific countries (Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Kuwait and Egypt) in order to set-up a CCP by order to the ARCENT Commander. The new contract, set to begin in approximately August of 2015, has expanded that performance work requirement to any country in the CENTCOM

AOR.

1.3 Scope: The contractor shall apply the following services with overarching project management best practices to ensure full Command Post maintenance support for nine M1087 communications trucks and other supporting CCP equipment. Contractor is expected to be fully prepared to deploy to any country within the CENTCOM AOR in order to establish a CCP whenever ordered to do so. See Part five of this PWS for specific tasks.

Contractor shall establish a maintenance plan in writing for equipment they are responsible for maintaining based on: Equipment that requires routine maintenance, monthly maintenance, quarterly maintenance and annual maintenance. The maintenance plan will be included in the

QSP.

Contractor shall provide technical direction whenever needed, to include coordinating with the

ARCENT G6 FWD.

Contractor shall establish documentation and procedural standards for deliverables to be approved by the Contracting Officer or delegated Contracting Officer Representative.

Contractor shall be prepared to provide briefings to key ARCENT leaders, written updates to

Standard Operating Procedures for the CCP, full participation in CCP planning activities and a broad range of training to all CCP personnel at any given time.

Contractor shall provide a monthly work report to the COR that will at a minimum include: all reoccurring activities conducted for the period, all non-reoccurring activities conducted during the period, status of COR requests, status of CLIN funding, WAWF invoice status, contract issues pending resolution, and overtime and off-site (travel/vacation/holiday) periods. The contractor may add to this report but at a minimum will report the above listed requirements.

1.4 Period of Performance: The period of performance shall be for one (1) Base Year of 12 months and three (3) 12-month option years. The Period of Performance reads as follows:

Base Year - 01 September 2015 – 31 August 2016 Option Year I – 01 September 2016 – 31 August 2017 Option Year II – 01 September 2017 – 31 August 2018 Option Year III – 01 September 2018 – 31 August 2019

1.5 General Information

1.5.1 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 shall submit a copy with their proposal and to be evaluated. Three copies of a comprehensive written QCP shall be submitted to the KO QAS, and COR within 5 working days when changes are made thereafter. After acceptance of the quality control plan the contractor shall receive the contracting officer’s acceptance in writing of any proposed change to his QC system.

1.5.1.1 Quality Control Files: The Contractor shall maintain a file of all inspections or tests conducted by the Contractor, to include any corrective actions taken. This file shall be subject to Government review at the Contracting Officer's discretion during the contract term, to include any extensions of contract term. The file shall be the property of the Government and shall be turned over to the Government upon completion or termination of the contract.

1.5.1.2 Quality Control Reports: The Contractor shall submit a monthly Quality Control Report for each functional area identified in the SOW. The report shall be submitted to the COR for review and approval as part of the Contractor's quality control program.

1.5.1.3 Within thirty (30) days of receipt of contract award, the contractor shall submit a Quality Control Plan (QCP) to the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) for review and comment. The COR has been designated as the Government Quality Assurance Evaluator (QAE). The QCP shall identify the procedures that the contractor will implement to ensure the successful completion of tasks and provisions of required deliverables identified in the PWS. The COR will provide any pertinent comments and/or questions within 10-days of receipt of the contractor’s QCP. Within thirty-days of receipt of the COR’s comments, the contractor shall provide a finalized QCP to the

COR. The contractor shall implement and modify, as necessary, the procedures specified within the QCP to ensure the provision of services that will produce the desired outcomes and result in performance of work within the required standards. At a minimum, the contractor’s QCP shall address:

1.5.1.3a Procedures to be implemented to ensure successful completion of tasks identified within PWS.

1.5.1.3b Procedures to be implemented to ensure that deliverables, meeting contractual requirements, are provided in a timely manner.

1.5.1.3d Procedures to be implemented to ensure the accurate tracking of labor hours expended in the correction or replacement of work that has not met contract requirements as specified by the COR.

1.5.1.4 Performance Evaluation Meetings. The contract site manager may be required to meet with the COR, upon the contractor or COR’s requests a meeting will be held. The written minutes of these meetings shall be signed by the contractor’s site manager and the COR. Should the contractor not concur with the minutes, the contractor shall state any areas of non-concurrence in writing to the Contracting Officer within 10-calendar days of receipt of the signed minutes.

1.5.2 Quality Assurance: The government shall evaluate the contractor’s performance under this contract in accordance with the Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan. This plan is primarily focused on what the Government must do to ensure that the contractor has performed in accordance with the performance standards. It defines how the performance standards will be applied, the frequency of surveillance, and the minimum acceptable defect rate(s).

1.5.3 Recognized US Holidays: Contractor is expected to perform duties whenever needed, including holidays if required by the ARCENT mission. Contractors may be called upon to work on any U.S. or Muslim holiday, including those listed below:

New Year’s Day Labor Day Entire Ramadan period Martin Luther King Jr.’s Birthday Columbus Day Eid Al-Adha President’s Day Veteran’s Day Eid Al-Fitr (End of Ramadan) Memorial Day Thanksgiving Day Independence Day Christmas Day

1.5.4 Hours of Operation/Place of Performance:

When deemed to be essential services by the contracting officer, the contractor shall perform all services and support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including official holidays, for the period of time designated in writing by the contracting officer. When not deemed to be essential services by the contracting officer, the contractor shall perform all services and support according to the normal 8 hours a day, 5 days a week duty, 40 hours a week schedule in effect in the locale where the services are being performed as directed by the contracting officer, typically 8:00-5:00 Monday thru Friday, but overlapping shifts are encouraged if the mission requires it. For example, the normal duty schedule for non-essential services performed in some Arab countries may be Sunday through Thursday, rather than Monday through Friday. The base location (Place of Performance) for the contractor will be in Camp Arifjan, Kuwait. If mission requirements dictate, there may be a possible need for contractor personnel to be located within any CENTCOM AOR country for as long as the mission requires. More specifically, the contractor may be required to travel to and perform service in any of the countries listed in 1.6.10.1 of the PWS.

1.5.5 Type of Contract: The government anticipates award of a fixed price contract.

1.5.6 Security Requirements: Each contractor is required to possess and maintain TOP-SECRET-Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) access throughout the entire duration of the contract while providing the services herein. It is essential for the contractor to have TOP-SECRET-SCI security clearances due to the fact that operations within the Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) at the Main Command Post and SCIFs at overseas locations would have to stop completely while the contractors operated within the SCIF, if one or both of the contractors did not have the proper TOP-SECRET-SCI clearance.

1.5.6.1 Delays in ARCENT operations could result in possible mission failure or a significant loss of productivity.

Access and general protection policy and procedures, iWATCH training, access to government information systems, Information Assurance/Information Technology training and certificate, and Handling/Access to Classified Information. The contractor shall follow and meet the security requirements as given in the DD Form 254.

Additionally, the contractor shall ensure all employees are fully vetted prior to contract performance. Access to some systems, like SIPR, has additional requirements like a Systems Access Authorization Request (SAAR form).

The failure of an individual supporting this contract to maintain/be awarded a TOP SECRET-SCI clearance may be grounds for release from the contract if directed by the Government. Requirements include AT level 1 training completed no later than 30 days of award, a copy of the certificate shall be provided to the COR.

1.5.6.2 Contractors performing this task have a requirement to access and maintain components of ARCENT’s Command Post Temporary SCIF (T-SCIF) when the Command Post/CCP, (Shelters and Vehicles) are serviced and/or deployed. All personnel employed by the contractor or any representative of the contractor entering the Government Installation(s) shall conform to all security or force protection regulations which may be in effect during the contract period and shall be subject to such checks as may be deemed necessary to assure that no violations occur.

1.5.6.3 The Contractor is responsible for meeting Antiterrorism/Operations Security Requirements.
