PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

SECTION C: DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/WORK STATEMENT

TITLE: Performance of Analytical Services Associated with Target Descriptions, Vulnerability, Survivability and Weapons Effectiveness Studies, and Support to Current Operations

C.1 SCOPE

C.1.1 Background. The Joint Technical Coordinating Group for Munitions Effectiveness (JTCG/ME) is a joint service group whose mission is to provide the Services effectiveness data for fielded non-nuclear munitions. The U.S. Army Materiel Systems Analysis Activity (AMSAA) supports the Army and the JTCG/ME with studies on the effectiveness of both fielded and developmental munitions. The JTCG/ME prepares and continuously updates Joint Munitions Effectiveness Manuals (JMEM) for air-to-surface, surface-to-surface, antiair and other non-nuclear munitions systems (to include Non-lethal, Direct Energy and Cyber) including management of joint service efforts for associated data bases in target vulnerability, weapon characteristics and delivery accuracy. JTCG/ME is charged with establishing standardized procedures for important test factors such, as kill criteria, weapon lethalities, delivery accuracies, methodologies and data format for reporting new munitions effects into JMEM's. Weapon effectiveness calculations require a number of inputs such as weapon characteristics, weapon delivery accuracy and target vulnerability to specific damage mechanisms.

C.1.2. The contract is concerned with 1) the description and vulnerability of enemy targets to various damage mechanisms associated with conventional weapons such as fragments, blast, conical shaped charges, linear shaped charges, self-forging fragments, armor piercing projectiles, high explosive projectiles and others and 2) weapon system effectiveness analysis including: methodology, computer simulation, data analyses, model verification and validation, documentation of models, systems effectiveness analyses and data base management systems.

C.1.3 Objective. The objective of this contract is to obtain support in the areas of target descriptions, target vulnerability analysis, target survivability analysis, weapon system effectiveness and performance, data analysis, target disablement evaluation, component damage, warhead lethality, threat modeling, vulnerability/lethality methodology development and other areas.

C.2 APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS. Documents will be included in individual task orders as applicable.

AMC-LEVEL PROTEST PROGRAM (Aug 2012)

ACC-APG 5152.233-4900

If you have complaints about this procurement, it is preferable that you first attempt to resolve those concerns with the responsible Contracting Officer. However, you can also protest to Headquarters, AMC. The HQ, AMC-Level Protest Program is intended to encourage interested parties to seek resolution of their concerns within AMC as an Alternative Dispute Resolution forum, rather than filing a protest with the General Accounting Office (GAO) or other external forum.

The AMC protest decision goal is to resolve protests within 20 working days from filing. To be timely, protests must be filed within the periods specified in FAR 33.103. Send protests (other than protests to the Contracting Officer) to:

Headquarters U.S. Army Materiel Command Office of Command Counsel-Deputy Command Counsel 4400 Martin Road Rm: A6SE040.001 Redstone Arsenal, AL 35898-5000 Phone: (256) 450-8165 Fax: (256) 450-8840 E-mail: amcprotests@conus.army.mil

The AMC-Level Protest Procedures are accessible via the Internet at:

www.amc.army.mil/amc/commandcounsel.html. If Internet access is not available, contact the Contracting Officer or HQ, AMC, to obtain the AMC-Level Protest Procedures.

Firm-fixed price (FFP), or Cost plus fixed fee (CPFF)

H.3 TASK ORDER PROCEDURES

Task orders can be categorized into four (4) groupings, as listed below. The determination of which grouping any individual task order falls within is a business decision based upon the requirements of the individual task order (i.e., nature, scope, complexity and other factors as deemed appropriate for the action) made at the Governmen’s discretion. This determination is the Contracting Officer’s decision, and will not be subject to the Disputes clause.

“Vulnerability Analysis and Assessments” “Effectiveness Analysis and Performance Assessments” “Test and Experiment Conduct and Support” “Support to Current Operations, Publications, Databases, and Reporting”

The contracting officer may set aside for small businesses task orders under the “Vulnerability Analysis and Assessments” grouping should the provisions of FAR 19.502-2(b) apply.

The procedure for establishing task orders will be as follows:

a. After making the determination described above, the Contracting Officer will forward a proposal request via Email. The request will provide each contractor in the competition the Performance Work Statement (PWS) describing the requirements and objectives of the task, whether the task is firm fixed price (FFP) or cost plus fixed fee (CPFF), and all other applicable documents (Wage rates, DD Form 254, appropriate reference materials, Government Furnished Material, etc). The request will set forth a task accomplishment schedule, describe any report requirements, and set forth other information and data as necessary for task accomplishment. Additionally, the request will include all evaluation factors, their importance and any considerations under cost technical trade determination, best value definition (low cost/technically acceptable or tradeoff), a closing date for the completion of the Task Order, and any other pertinent information required for the fair competition of the requirement.

b. The Contractor shall furnish a proposal to the Contracting Officer within the timeframe specified within the request. The proposal shall include the contractor’s proposed approach and understanding of the work required; a description of the work to be accomplished; the proposed schedule and required deliverables (if applicable), and a clear explanation of any constraints which would impact the successful completion of the order. The proposal will provide a proposed price (for FFP task orders) or cost (for CPFF task orders), and may require submittal of Other Than Certified Cost and Pricing Data IAW FAR 15.403-3.

c. Assignment of Task Orders:

1) Upon receipt of the plan, the proposal will be reviewed and evaluated to ensure acceptability to the Government. The Contracting Officer may enter into discussions with the contractors if necessary.

2) A task order will be awarded to the Contractor with the best proposal and price in accordance with the evaluation factors and cost technical trade off language in the request (or lowest priced/technically acceptable offer, if applicable).
