PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

FOR

Consequence Management Support Center Services (Version dated 02 February 2024)

1.0 General:

1.1 Scope: The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, and quality control necessary, except as specified in Paragraph 3.0 as Government Furnished, to perform the Consequence Management Support Center (CoMSupCen) Services, as defined in this PWS.

1.1.1 Objectives: The contractor shall provide trained, qualified, and certified personnel to provide supply, maintenance, training, Subject Matter Expert (SME) support, and any other support in accordance with the CoMSupCen Standard Operating Guide (SOG), which is PWS Attachment 13. The CoMSupCen overall concept of operations is based on carrying out these major support areas to the National Guard Bureau’s (NGB’s) Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and high-yield explosives (CBRN) Enterprise:

1. Logistical Operations

2. Maintenance

3. Purchasing

4. Information Technology (IT)

5. Facility Operations

1.2 Background: The potential for a terrorist-related activity or other exposure to CBRN threats within the United States has become increasingly probable. In response to those threats, Congress provided funding to the Department of Defense (DoD) to train, organize, and equip the NGB to develop a national capability to meet the pressing demands of this emerging homeland defense threat.

The Defense Against Weapons of Mass Destruction Act of 1996 mandated the enhancement of domestic preparedness and response capability for terrorist attacks involving nuclear, radiological, biological, and chemical weapons. The Act provided funding to improve the capability of the Federal, State and local emergency response agencies to prevent and, if necessary, respond to domestic terrorist incidents involving Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD).

In addition, the NGB was tasked with disaster preparedness and disaster response missions arising from natural disasters and other non-terrorist emergencies.

1.2.1 Consequence Management Support Center Mission

1.2.1.1 National Guard Operational Mission: In responding to the CBRN threat, the NGB organized and equipped various types of teams of personnel throughout the DoD Area of Responsibility (AOR) to respond to natural disaster, man-made threats, or other incidents. These teams include:

1. Weapons of Mass Destruction Civil Support Teams (CST) to assess events, advise civilian agency responders, and facilitate requests for assistance, prevent human suffering and mitigate major property damage.

The 57 CST teams (each consisting of about 22 military personnel) perform command, operations, administrative/logistics, medical, and survey functions. NGB anticipates that there will be 2-5 additional teams added requiring logistical support during this contract period.

2. Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, Enhanced Response Force Package (CERFP): 17 teams (each with about 203 military personnel per team) to respond to a CBRN incident by assisting other agencies in personnel decontamination, emergency Medical Services, Fatality Search & Recovery Teams (FSRT), casualty search and extraction and limited security. The Medical & FSRT Teams are supported separately from the CERFP Task Force (TF) for accountability.

3. Homeland Response Force (HRF) contains a CERFP with additional brigade and battalion level command and control with additional security, search/extraction, decontamination, and medical triage capabilities. There are 10 HRFs with approximately 589 military personnel per team. The Medical & FSRT Teams are supported separately from the HRF TF for accountability.

1.2.1.2 Contractor Mission: The NGB established the CoMSupCen in Lexington, Kentucky, to support the four types of geographically dispersed teams. The CoMSupCen contractor provides a full range of contractor logistics support for the supply support, maintenance support, purchasing, training, and help desk support to the teams discussed above. Items maintained in the CoMSupCen warehouse or shipped directly from suppliers to the teams are primarily Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) equipment and other specialized items. (CoMSupCen does not issue, store, or handle ammunition, military weapons, or explosives.)

The contractor charged with operating CoMSupCen is responsible for developing and executing a logistics support system customized to meet the operational requirements of the NGBs specific homeland defense mission in the areas described above, with the capability to support contingency operations (i.e., major exercises and national security events) 24 hours a day, 7 days a week when ordered. The contractor is to operate a logistics support center compliant with all governing DoD, Army, and NGB regulations.

The contractor logistics support services provided to the nation by the CoMSupCen are vital to protect public health and safety, restore essential Government services, and provide emergency relief to communities and individuals impacted by unforeseen national threats or disasters. Examples of some CoMSupCen events have included:

Chemical Spills Natural Disasters (e.g., Hurricane & Mud Slide Relief Efforts) Major National Political Events (e.g., Political Party Conventions) Olympics The Global War on Terror (respond as required)

1.3 Period of Performance (PoP): The Period of Performance shall be a base five (5) year ordering period and an additional 5-year optional period of performance.

1.4 General Information:

1.4.1 Place and Performance of Services: The contractor shall provide services between the hours of 0700-1730 local time Lexington, KY, Monday through Friday, except on recognized US holidays or when the Government facility/installation is closed due to local or national emergencies, administrative closings, or similar Government-directed facility/installation closings.

Performance shall be at the CoMSupCen facility, which is located on Bluegrass Station (BGS) at 5751 Briar Hill Road, Bldg. 415, Lexington, KY 40516. It is a government-leased building that includes a warehouse (approximately 150,000 square feet) and office space (approximately 50,000 square feet) available without charge to the contractor. (See PWS Attachment 1 Facility Layout and PWS Attachment 2 Warehouse Photographs)

The contractor must arrange the work schedules of its employees to cover the hours of the normal daily period of operation. The working hours cover responsibilities to teams inside and outside of the continental US (e.g., Alaska, Hawaii, and Guam).

When required, the contractor shall operate the CoMSupCen on an expanded schedule up to and including 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, which will be billed against a surge Contract Line Item Number (CLIN). The contractor shall be available to respond to critical mission requirements which occur outside of the duty days/hours (0700-1730 local time Lexington, KY, Monday through Friday). In addition to the duty hours listed above, the contractor shall provide emergency support to critical items and provide support during pre-planned special events and/or training exercises.

1.4.1.1 Telework: The Government will permit the contractor to telework in support of this requirement for the following type of functions:

Direct Support Operations Procurement Specialists Financial Specialists Contracting Specialists Web Development Personnel

In furtherance of Continuity of Operations Planning (COOP), a telework program may be enacted to ensure that the Government's mission-critical operations stay operational during times of national emergency or incidents of national significance. Telework shall be at no additional cost to the Government and shall be approved in advance by the Contracting Officer or the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR).

1.4.1.2 Unscheduled gate closures by the Security Police may occur at any time causing all personnel entering or exiting a closed installation to experience a delay. This cannot be predicted or prevented. Contractors are not compensated for unexpected closures or delays. Vehicles operated by contractor personnel are subject to search pursuant to applicable regulations. Any moving violation of any applicable motor vehicle regulation may result in the termination of the contractor employee’s installation driving privileges. Vehicles operated by contractor personnel must be registered with BGS Security - who will issue an on-post sticker. Any moving violation of any applicable motor vehicle regulation may result in the termination of the contractor employee’s installation driving privileges.

1.4.1.3 The contractor’s employees shall become familiar with and obey the regulations of the installation, including fire, traffic, safety, and security regulations while on the installation. Contractor employees should only enter restricted areas when required to do so and only upon prior approval. All contractor employees shall carry proper identification with them at all times and shall be subject to such checks as may be deemed necessary. The contractor shall ensure compliance with all regulations and orders of the installation, which may affect performance. The Government reserves the right to direct the removal of an employee from Government property or revoke access to Government systems for misconduct, security reasons, or any overt evidence of communicable disease. Removal of contractor employees for reasons stated above does not relieve the Contractor from responsibility for total performance of this contract.

1.4.2 Recognized Holidays: The Contractor shall not perform services on recognized U.S. holidays. A complete list of U.S. recognized holidays can be found at:

https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/pay-leave/federal-holidays/.

Notwithstanding the aforementioned list of holidays current at the time of solicitation release, the Government may, with or without notice, observe as a holiday any day subsequently designated as such by Federal Statute, Executive Order, or President’s Proclamation.

1.4.3 Quality Control (QC): The contractor shall develop and maintain an effective QC Plan (QCP) 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’s QCP is the means by which it assures itself that its work complies with the requirements of the contract. At a minimum, the contractor shall develop QC procedures that address the areas identified in Technical Exhibit 1, Performance Requirements Summary (PRS). A final QCP shall be submitted to the COR Not Later Than (NLT) 10 days after contract award. After acceptance of the QCP, the contractor shall obtain the Contracting Officer’s (KO’s) acceptance in writing of any proposed changes to its QCP.

1.4.4 Quality Assurance (QA): The Government will evaluate the contractor’s performance under this contract in accordance with the Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP). This plan is primarily focused on what the Government will 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 acceptable quality level(s) or defect rate(s).

1.4.5 Installation Access and Security Requirements. The contractor shall comply with all applicable installation/facility access and local security policies and procedures, which may be obtained from BGS Security. The contractor and all associated subcontractor employees shall provide all information required for background checks to meet installation access requirements to be accomplished by installation Security Office. The contractor shall ensure compliance with all personal identity verification requirements as directed by DoD, Headquarters Department of Army (HQDA) and/or local policy (see PWS 6.0). Should the Force Protection Condition (FPCON) change, the Government may require changes in contractor security matters or processes.

1.4.5.1 For contractors requiring Common Access Card (CAC): The CAC is the DoD Federal Personal Identity Verification (PIV) credential. Before CAC issuance, the contractor employee requires, at a minimum, a favorably adjudicated Tier 1 or an equivalent or higher investigation in accordance with Army Directive 2014-05. The contractor employee will be issued a CAC only if duties involve one of the following: (1) both physical access to a DoD facility and access, via logon, to DoD networks on-site or remotely; (2) remote access, via logon, to a DoD network using DoD-approved remote access procedures; or (3) physical access to multiple DoD facilities or multiple non-DoD federally controlled facilities on behalf of the DoD on a recurring basis for a period of 6 months or more. At the discretion of the sponsoring activity, an initial CAC may be issued based on a favorable review of the FBI fingerprint check and a successfully scheduled Tier 1 investigation at the Office of Personnel Management.

Sponsorship and enrollment information about each applicant must be registered in the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) through either the Real-Time Automated Personnel ID System (RAPIDS) using the DD Form 1172-2 or the Trusted Associate Sponsorship System (TASS).
