PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

Real Property Support Services III

21 May 2026

1. PURPOSE

Real Property offices across the Department of Defense (DoD) require support to maintain accurate information within their various Real Property Systems of Record. The inability of a customer to maintain accurate information within a mandated system of record exposes that customer to the likelihood for audit failures, shortage of sustainment funds and inaccurate reporting of facility quantities, conditions, and incorrect space assignments to higher DoD headquarters.

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Huntsville Engineering and Support Center (HNC) seeks to award a non-personal services Performance Based contract to provide on-site or deskside real property support services for DoD customers across the Contiguous United States (CONUS) and specific Non-

Contiguous (OCONUS) locations at which DoD has a presence. Contract can be utilized to support all

DoD services components (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Space Force) and all DoD agencies (e.g.

DIA, DLA, etc.). Place of service could be at the contractor’s offices if there is no need to perform work on-site, hereafter referred to as ‘desk side’s support. Place of service could be on-site and therefore could require travel to any point where a DoD service or agency has a presence. OCONUS nation locations will be specifically listed within this Performance Work Statement (PWS). It is expected that a vast majority of the work will be completed either at the contractor’s office location or at a CONUS location. It is a highly unusual requirement which requires travel to an OCONUS location.

The focus of this contract and the underlying task orders issued will be on three aspects of support:

1. Direct Maintenance of the data within the Real Property System of Record; this will include data collection (will not include assessments which require substantial engineering assessments), data review against audit regulations, data entry, data quality and reporting.

2. Provision of Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) on a full-time basis to individual Garrisons to support and/or augment Garrison staff. SME support may extend those fields of expertise necessary to record data into the Real Property Systems of Record listed below. SME support may include

Master Planners, Environmental Engineers, Fire Protection Engineers, Certified Playground

Inspectors, or other disciplines which support Real Property on an installation, and which are in addition to experts in Real Property Systems of Record support.

3. Standalone studies and analyses. Examples may include requirements analysis, utility analyses, environmental analysis, economic or financial analysis and other such requirements. These studies can include any analysis or study which is not designated as Master Planning analyses under

Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC )2-100-1 or which do not lead to construction.

The Government will not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers.

Contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn is responsible to the Government. The Contractor shall ensure work meets all applicable Federal, State, and local laws, regulations, and directives.

2. BACKGROUND

Planning and Programming (P&P) Branch provides a variety of facility, master planning, real property, programming and similar support studies for the U.S. Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, Department of

Defense or other agency installation or facility locations worldwide. P&P Branch has leveraged a variety of contract vehicles to meet the needs of its customers. Work products can be defined by the contract vehicle used to provide support. The majority of work products are supported through the use of an Architectural and Engineering (A&E) MATOC. Some of the work products developed by P&P Branch are supported through a Services contract. The focus of this acquisition is on a particular sub-set of support requirements as outline above which will be supported via a Services contract. P&P has historically supported the work products defined within this contract via a number of different contract vehicles and mechanisms. This

MATOC will consolidate all non-Architectural & Engineering work into a single acquisition.

The Contractor shall provide a contingency plan within thirty (30) days of the contract start date for operations support in the event the

Contractor elects to discontinue operations due to inclement weather while the Government is open.

5. CONTRACTOR KEY PERSONNEL.

5.1 Program Manager - The Contractor shall provide a Program Manager (PM) who is responsible for the performance of the work. The PM shall have full authority to act for the Contractor on all contract matters relating to daily operation of the contract. The PM shall be responsible for running the program. The PM may supervise the program team and manages conflicts within different departments. The PM shall plan and set program goals and milestones and develops risk management strategies. The PM shall define resources and schedules for the implementation of the program. The PM shall clearly define requirements and set targets accordingly. The PM shall recognize areas for internal improvement and develop plans for implementing the improvement.

The name of this person and an alternate who shall act for the Contractor shall be designated in writing to the KO. The Program Manager or a designated alternative point of contact shall be available to respond to questions or other informational requests from the Government between

8:00 am – 4:00 pm (CST), Monday through Friday except Federal holidays or when the

Government facility is closed for administrative reasons. The Program Manager shall be the senior most individual proposed and should have more than ten years of experience performing work in support of multiple real property systems of record listed in the PWS paragraph 3.2 Real Property

Systems of Record. The Program Manager will also have more than five years of experience managing or supervising teams of individuals. This individual shall have a minimum of a four year college degree from an accredited university.

5.2 Program Analyst. For all work which is focused on Real Property System of Record support as defined in section 3.2 above, the contractor will provide a Program Analyst lead for the following systems: GFEBS, INFADS, BUILDER and GIS. Designation of a program analyst for other systems listed in section 3.2 may be required at the task order level. The Program Analyst will be defined as an expert in the System of Record being supported. The individual proposed must have 2 years demonstrated experience with the specific system of record on which work is being performed and all underlying modules and be proficient in Microsoft Office and database management. This experience may not be older than 24 months, the preference is that the individual have experience with the system of record within the last 12 months. The experience level of this individual will be reported to the Government and the Government will verify applicability at the task order level. The purpose of this Key Personnel position is to establish a technical focal point for the project similar to the administrative focal point comprised by the Program Manager description above.

5.2.1 The Program Analyst for GFEBS shall have or be able to obtain the following roles in

GFEBS:

• Real Property Viewer

• Real Property Maintainer

• Asset Master Data Maintainer

• Business Intelligence Plant

• Property and Equipment Reporter

Due to the inherent nature of GFEBS system roles, systems and system names may be changed, or added, over the course of this contract. If individual contractors cannot provide required expertise, they may “no bid” task orders without penalty.

Individual access to GFEBS may require significant set up time to complete. Completing all necessary training and obtaining the appropriate roles and responsibilities to complete data input, reporting, data quality checks from the system gatekeeper can take several months to complete. The contractor shall take all measures necessary to complete all training and obtaining required roles and responsibilities in the most efficient manner possible. In response to any task order which focuses on work within the GFEBS system, the contractor will need to assess each individual user’s level of access and allow time to complete access requirements. The Government preference is for some, or all of the individuals being proposed to support a GFEBS task order to have already obtained the required roles and responsibilities. The Government realizes that this level of preparation is not always possible.

Access to GFEBS may require each user to obtain a government imaged computer from the installation on which work is being conducted. The process of obtaining a customer imaged computer can be time consuming. The Government customer may not have computers available, may have to order them and once received, will need to correctly image those computers. The contractor will need to allow time to complete this process.

5.3 Technical Managers. The position of technical manager is largely similar to the description of the

Program Analyst position described in section 5.2. The difference between the Program Analyst and the Technical Manager lies in the requirement for the Program Analyst to function as a technical lead for all task orders under contract at any given time. The Technical Manager provides support for a specific real property system of record on one or more task orders. The Program Analyst provides support for all real property systems of record on all task orders. At lower operational tempo, the Program Analyst can function as a Technical Manager. At higher operational tempo, when there is a need, these two functionalities may be separated. As with the Program Analyst, the individuals proposed must have 2 years demonstrated experience with one or more real property systems of records as listed in section 3.2. The individual proposed as a technical manager can have experience in any system listed but must demonstrate some level of expertise with real property systems of record. The exact nature of the requirements for systems of record experience will be documented within the PWS. This experience may not be older than 24 months, the preference is that the individual have experience with the system of record within the last 12 months. The contractor must be able to demonstrate a depth of experience with real property systems of record beyond the individuals proposed for the Program Manager and Program Analyst positions.

5.4 Subject Matter Expert Support. Qualifications and experience for each Subject Matter expert will be defined within the individual task order.

5.5 Qualification Standards. Key personnel shall not be added to or removed from the contract without express acknowledgement of the COR. Any changes to the working status of key personnel shall be transmitted (in writing) to the KO/COR within ten (10) workdays of the proposed change. If, for any reason, any of the key personnel becomes, or is expected to become, unavailable for work under this contract for a continuous period exceeding 30 workdays, the Contractor shall promptly replace personnel with personnel who possess qualifications equal to or better than that of the original employee. The Contractor shall ensure all key personnel terminated or released from employment under this contract are replaced within thirty (30) workdays of the termination. The Contractor shall ensure that terminated or unavailable personnel turn in CAC cards. Contractor is responsible for recruiting personnel who meet the qualifications for each of the key personnel labor categories.

Contractor shall provide copies of resumes of appropriate candidates to the COR for approval

(selection) prior to the Contractor’s hiring action and onboarding process. This includes recruitment actions through subcontractors for personal performing work under this contract. The Contractor shall be responsible for ensuring all personnel performing work under this contract possess and maintain current Information Assurance Technician (IAT) Level I professional certification during the execution of this contract.

5.6 Prior to employees beginning work under the terms of this contract, the Contractor will ensure that personnel shall be fully qualified and skilled to perform the work in which they are assigned under this Contract. The Contractor shall provide objective evidence of key personnel qualifications and years of experience to the KO for review and acceptance. The Contractor shall provide its personnel with specific training, certifications and clearances as required to perform tasks.

5.7 Contractor personnel performing work under this contract shall have and maintain a favorable

National Agency Check with Written Inquiries (NACI) at time of the contract start date and for the life of the contract. The Program Manager and any individuals designated as key personnel shall be able to understand, speak, read, and write the English language. They shall have a command of both the written and spoken English language to communicate in person properly, clearly, and effectively or via electronic devices (telephone or Email) with co-workers, customers, and the general public.
