SECTION 1 - GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 BACKGROUND: The Resolute Support Sustainment Brigade (RSSB) is responsible for the base closure and base transition in Afghanistan. As US forces begin to close down base camps, there is a need for viable and effective base closure assistance and support across Afghanistan.

A surge may be required during the PoP outlined in the contract, consisting of up to two additional teams.

By contracting these support capabilities, this allows for timely base closure operations, while meeting theater-wide lowered military manning objectives.

1.3 SCOPE OF WORK: The Contractor shall provide all human resources, supervision, oversight, management, and travel necessary to perform BCAT staff augmentation services as defined in this

Performance Work Statement (PWS) except as specified in this PWS at Section 3 (Government-furnished property and services).

The BCATs will organize, coordinate, and assist units with the key aspects of redeployment associated with base closures and transfers to support critical timelines and property accountability practices. Key responsibilities shall include, but not limited to, managing multiple concurrent base closure tasks, providing onsite assistance and recommendations to Base Operations Support-Integrator (BOS-I), Task Forces, and Train, Advise, Assist Commands (TAACs) on the retrograde process, developing schedules, formulating work plans, providing recommendations to remain on schedule to reallocate resources, facilitating paperwork and documentation requirements, and reporting progress and tracking metrics and issues affecting base closure to the COR. The Contractor will not perform base closure services on bases receiving services under a Logistics Civil Augmentation Program (LOGCAP) task order;

to the extent that those base closure services are within the scope of an existing LOGCAP task order PWS.

The Contractor may, however, be required to perform base closure services on LOGCAP bases in relation to property, programs and services outside the scope of the LOGCAP task orders.

1.3.1 PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE: The base period of performance for this contract will be one year, with four, six- month options, and a six-month evaluated Option to Extend Services clause. A 75-day mobilization period is included in the base period of performance for the initial two teams.
