PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

Counternarcotic External Assessment Services 20 February 2020

Part 1

General Information

1. GENERAL: This is a non-personal services contract under which the personnel rendering the services are not subject, either by the contract’s terms or by the manner of its administration, to the supervision and control usually prevailing in relationships between the Government and its employees. The United States (US) Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the Contractor’s employees performing the tasks herein. Such contract employees shall be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn shall be responsible to the U.S. Government.

1.1 Description of Services/Introduction: The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform a Counternarcotics External Assessment as defined in this PWS except for those items specified as government furnished property (GFP) and government furnished services (GFS). The contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract.

1.2 Background: The US Department of Defense’s involvement in counternarcotic activities dates back to the 1970’s; its role as the lead agency for aerial and maritime detection and monitoring dates back to the 1989 Defense Authorization Act.

The Joint Interagency Task Force – South (JIATF-S) is a US Southern Command (USSOUTHCOM) Task Force, comprised of multiple U.S. Government Agencies, responsible for the detection and monitoring of illicit narcotics trafficking from or through the USSOUTHCOM Area of Responsibility (AOR) into the United States. This task force makes extensive use of data, modeling, and visualization to make informed decisions regarding resource allocation, activities, operations, and investments.

JIATF-S operations are focused on the detection and monitoring of cocaine-related products transiting from South and Central America toward the U.S., primarily via maritime conveyance. It is a key player in the decades-long U.S.

cocaine interdiction effort.

In spite of continued US. investment in cocaine detection and monitoring, coca cultivation in South America and cocaine-related fatalities in the U.S. have fluctuated over time. Both of these statistics have been climbing since 2012 and are at record highs.

JIATF-S detects more suspicious transits that the U.S., as a whole, interdicts; interdiction is a Coast Guard/Department of Homeland Security responsibility, not JIATF-S. JIATF-S makes decisions on resource allocation based on models of the probability of a successful interdiction and anticipated benefit or impact of decision. These models rely on multiple data and intelligence sources.

1.3 Objectives: At a minimum the contractor shall:

1.3.1. Recommend how USSOUTHCOM could better approach its detection and monitoring mission within existing resources and authorities to more optimally contribute to achieving US counternarcotic objectives.

1.3.2. Recommend additional detection and monitoring resources or authorities that would generate a high return on investment.

1.3.3. Recommend alternatives or additional analytical models, methods, and data that would better influence detection and monitoring requirements and resource allocation.

1.3.4. Recommend performance and effectiveness metrics that provide USSOUTHCOM definitive way to measure progress against U.S. counternarcotic objectives.

1.3.5. Recommend means and ways to make partner nation more active to help increase interdictions.

1.3.6. Recommend means and/or ways to better utilize Whole of Government Interagency partners to improve detection and monitoring, interdictions and assessments.

1.4 Scope: The contractor shall provide Counternarcotic External Assessment Services in support of Joint Interagency Task Force – South (JIATF-S). An external review of USSOUTHCOM’s counternarcotic efforts should aim to examine how USSOUTHCOM could more optimally allocate its counternarcotic resources in the interests of U.S. National Security.
