(b) For the purposes of paragraph (e) below, the Estimated Total Hours shall be the number of hours associated with the base ordering period as increased by the number of hours associated with any exercised option ordering periods.

(c) Use of uncompensated overtime is not encouraged. Uncompensated overtime is defined in FAR 52.237-10 as “the hours worked without additional compensation in excess of an average of 40 hours per week by direct charge employees who are exempt from the Fair Labor Standards Act. Compensated personal absences such as holidays, vacations, and sick leave shall be included in the normal work week for purposes of computing uncompensated overtime hours.” The Estimated Total Hours identified above exclude holidays, sick leave, vacations and other employee absences.

(d) CPFF task orders resulting from task order solicitations will be primarily term type; however, the Government reserves the right to issue completion type orders, if appropriate. The number of hours expended per month under each resulting term-type task order shall be commensurate with the pursuit of performance of the task order’s statement of work, provided that such fluctuation does not result in the utilization of the task order hours prior to the expiration of the task order. The number of hours for any labor category may be utilized by the contractor for any other labor category if necessary in performance of the contract.

For CPFF term-type task orders, the number of hours identified in the task order level-of-effort (including any hours to be performed by a subcontractor) shall be considered against the MAC program’s Estimated Total Hours. For CPFF completion-type task orders, the hours proposed (including any hours to be performed by a subcontractor) shall be considered against the MAC program’s Estimated Total Hours.

(e) The Contracting Officer may place orders in excess of the MAC program’s Estimated Total Hours until the MAC program’s total estimated cost has been expended. The Contracting Officer may also place orders in excess of the MAC program’s total estimated cost until the MAC program’s Estimated Total Hours have been expended. In no event, however, will the Contracting Officer, pursuant to this paragraph (e), place orders in excess of the MAC program’s Estimated Total hours if the Contracting Officer has placed orders in excess of the MAC program’s total estimated cost. Nor will the Contracting Officer, pursuant to this paragraph (e), place orders in excess of the MAC program’s total estimated cost if the Contracting Officer has placed orders in excess of the MAC program’s Estimated Total Hours. The Contracting Officer may extend the MAC contracts’ periods in order to place orders up to the MAC program’s total estimated cost and the Estimated Total Hours.

(f) If at any time during this contract the contractor expends in excess of 85% of the available estimated manhours of direct labor (at the individual contract and task order levels), the contractor shall immediately notify the Contracting Officer in writing. Nothing herein shall be construed to alter or waive any of the rights or obligations of either party pursuant to the clause entitled “Limitation of Cost” and/or “Limitation of Funds.”

(g) For any resultant fixed-price task orders, the hours proposed (including any hours to be performed by a subcontractor) shall be considered against the MAC program’s Estimated Total Hours.

N0018918RZ008

of 121

(h) It is understood and agreed that for each CPFF task order issued under this contract, the number of hours and the total dollar amount for each labor category specified in the task order are estimates only and shall not limit the use of hours or dollar amounts in any labor category which may be required and provided for under an individual task order. Accordingly, in the performance of any CPFF task order, the contractor shall be allowed to adjust the quantity of labor hours provided for within labor categories specified in the order provided that in so performing the contractor shall not in any event exceed the ceiling price restrictions of any order, including modifications thereof.

PAYMENT OF FIXED FEE UNDER CPFF TASK ORDERS (MULTIPLE AWARD INDEFINITE DELIVERY, COST PLUS FIXED FEE TASK ORDERS)

(a) This contract is one of a set of Multiple Award Contracts (MAC). The fixed-fees established in the individual contracts are estimates only. The total Fixed Fee to be paid under any individual contract is the sum of the Fixed-Fees identified in any resultant CPFF task orders awarded to the individual contract holder. Fixed-price task orders do not impact the total fixed-fee to be paid under this clause.

(b) For CPFF task orders, the Government shall make monthly payments at the fixed fee payout rate established in accordance with paragraphs (1) and (2) below, for each task order direct labor hour invoiced by the contractor. The CPFF task order fixed-fee and fixed-fee payout rates shall be established as follows:

(1) Non-Competitive CPFF Task Orders - The fixed fee payout rate for non-competitive task orders to be paid under any individual task order will be the hourly fee rate determined by dividing MAC solicitation’s Estimated Total Hours by the individual contractor’s proposed fixed fee for the award of the MAC contract. The task order fixed-fee shall be calculated by multiplying the task order level of effort by the below hourly fixed-fee payout rates –

Fixed Fee Proposed * Total Est Level of Effort** Fixed Fee per Hour*** Lot 1 (5years) To be specified at time of award 6,889,275 */6,889,275Lot II ( 6 Mos) To be specified at time of awar 683,700 */683,700

* To be completed at time of award using the proposed fixed fee dollar amount **Represents the total estimated level of effort for each Lot***To be completed at time of award. The Fixed Fee per hour rate is calculated by dividing the fixed fee amount by the estimated level of effort for each Lot

(2) Competitive CPFF Task Orders – The fixed-fee for competitive task orders shall be established by the competitive solicitation process. The maximum fixed fee percentage an individual contractor shall quote in response to any competitive CPFF task order solicitation is the fixed fee percentage that contractor proposed for the award of the MAC contract calculated in the same manner used for the proposal for the contract. However, the contractor is free to propose a lower fee percentage rate than that contractor proposed for the award of the MAC contract. The fixed fee payout rate under each competitive CPFF task orders shall be calculated by dividing the proposed fixed fee amount for that task order by the task order’s estimated level of effort.

(c) If substantially fewer than the estimated hours established in any task order are employed in the performance of that task order, then the fixed fee amount for the task order shall be equitably reduced to reflect the reduction of work.

(d) All payments shall be in accordance with the provisions of FAR 52.216-8, “Fixed Fee,” and FAR 52.216-7, “Allowable Cost and Payment.” The total of all such payments shall not exceed eighty-five (85%) percent of the fixed fee specified under each applicable delivery/task order. Any balance of fixed fee due the contractor

N0018918RZ008

of 121

shall be paid to the Contractor, and any over-payment of fixed fee shall be repaid to the Government by the Contractor, or otherwise credited to the Government at the time of final payment.

Section C - Descriptions and Specifications

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

C.1 Introduction

The goal and immediate requirement of this Performance Work Statement (PWS), also known as a Performance-Based Work Statement (PBWS), is to make available and provide contractor support in the form of non-personal services across the entire enterprise of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS or simply JS) and components of the JS such as Chairman Controlled Activities (CCA). These will hereafter be referred to as JS. It is anticipated the preponderance of requirements will be generated by the Director J7, whose mission is to develop and enable trained, ready, and adaptable joint and coalition forces for the regional and functional Combatant Commanders.

C.2 Background

On 01 April 2014, under the sponsorship of Director, Training Readiness and Strategy, Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense (Readiness), the Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk, Philadelphia Contracting Office, awarded the first, five-year, Joint Force Development (JFD) Multiple Award Contract (MAC). On 30 April 2019 the ordering period for the JFD MAC will end. This contract is tailored to replace and expand the support to include the entire Joint Staff and the organizations for which it has oversight, while continuing to support the successor requirements of the current JFD MAC without an interruption in mission support.

Sponsorship for this next generation of the JFD MAC, titled the Joint Staff Multiple Award Contract (JS MAC), has transitioned from OSD P&R (TRS) to the Joint Staff.

Traditionally, the CCDRs’ force development requirements stem from their respective, deliberate Joint Training Plans (JTPs), areas of training interest identified by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the evolving threats associated with emergent real-world events. While the ability to shape and control the battle space continues to be of paramount interest and the immutable core responsibility, the contemporary warfighter has a growing presence in the roles of humanitarian assistance, disaster relief, and regional stability operations. Whether in a hostile or other environment, joint force development encompasses roles in which the warfighter will not operate alone, but in concert with personnel and resources from other government agencies, multinational coalition forces, and local authorities.

For the sake of clarity in this PWS, the use of the terms “warfighter” and “force” are considered synonymous and interchangeable. “Warfighter” should not be misconstrued as limited solely to a combatant role. It embraces all of the potential roles and capabilities U.S., Joint, Service, coalition participants, as well as any other members of a training audience bring to a training event. In like manner, the term “training event” encompasses training exercises because all training exercises are training events, not all training events are training exercises; Staff Assist Visits (SAV) and in-residence classroom courses are examples of training events that are not exercises. Similarly, the description, “contracts” is used and may be inclusive of the foundational contract document as well as the subset of more specific requirements that are task orders (TOs). Some reference materials allude to “contracts and task orders” as if to suggest inaccurately that task orders are not contracts. Task orders do not stand alone. They spring from and amplify the requirements of their associated basic contract. Finally, for the sake of clarity, except as required at the start of a sentence, when Contractor is written with a capital “C” is refers to the company as an entity and employer. Reference to Contractor should be interpreted to include the Prime Contractor and all of the Subcontractors that together comprise the team. When contractor, or subcontractor, is written entirely in lower case, it refers to an individual or employee of a company. Occasionally to conserve space in areas such as tables the word “contractor” may be abbreviated as “CTR.”

C.3 Objective

The primary result (i.e., cumulative objective a.k.a. end-state) of this non-personal-services contract is to provide the Joint Staff enterprise with a wide spectrum of cost-effective and temporary contractor support necessary to successfully accomplish a broad range of mission responsibilities; from advising the President of the United States

N0018918RZ008

of 121

on military matters to providing the requisite training and limited operational support necessary to advance (i.e., improve and expand) the warfighter’s ability to adapt to and overcome an ever-evolving threat environment. This is warfighter development portion is accomplished through varying combinations of, education (academics),research, training, assessment, experimentation (solutions to warfighter challenges) and infrastructure that are the necessary foundation for learning (defined as correct and predictable adaptive behavior) to occur. This contract and its respective TOs are intended to provide continuously adaptive support for non-inherently governmental staff functions, as well as training and real-world operations across the boundary that separates the two. The warfighter development portion is accomplished through (1) the integration of joint training, lessons learned, concept development, validated solutions and doctrine, (2) the training and development of Interagency and multinational capabilities, (3) enhancement of joint and multinational training, (4) the provision of global joint and multinational operations support to meet the present and future operational needs of the joint and coalition forces, and (5) Joint Training Core Support that enables the JS to accomplishment the training support functions. Because this contract is the successor to existing support in various phases of maturity, inherent in the accomplishment of the objective is the requirement for as seamless a transition as possible between the contract vehicles without a gap in support.

C.4 Scope

The scope of this performance-based, non-personal services staff, joint training, and operations support contract includes the full spectrum of contractor-supported tasks necessary to facilitate the successful mission accomplishment of the JS enterprise, with anticipated emphasis on the traditional JFD operations support tasks required in the conduct of simulated and real-world events (local, remote, distributed, live, virtual, and constructive; friendly, neutral, and threat forces). These tasks include, but are not limited to: cybersecurity, exercise and event design, planning, execution and analysis, concept development, capabilities and solutions, planning, scheduling, logistics, modeling, simulation architecture design, simulation model management and operations, around-the-clock simulation pipeline operations, intelligence, scenario development, database builds and tests, distributed learning, courseware development, event response and control cells, assessment, and facility operations, as well as development of future joint training environments, and the test and evaluation of proposed new equipment using the existing joint training environment resources. As they have for two decades, the joint force trainer (JFT) and joint force development (JFD) missions support U.S. and multinational joint training audience requirements globally.

While training in the form of joint, multinational, and interoperability, is expected to represent the majority of the effort, the capabilities of this contract are not limited exclusively to the training and support necessary to accomplish warfighter and training audience development. During the period of performance of this contract it is anticipated task orders will be generated wherein the Contractor will conduct research and development (R&D), engineering, and technical services to produce experiments leading to new concepts and prototypes which may ultimately result in solutions to warfighter challenges and capabilities that strengthen the effectiveness of the warfighter to deal with threats or changes in operational realities such as budget. The Contractor may be tasked to support specific tasks and provide deliverables, which explore, test, evaluate, and then establish new combinations of concepts, capabilities, people, and organizations. These prototypes are intended to improve near-term threat-defeating capabilities. The end result of the experiments will be actionable recommendations that result from collaborative experimentation with new concepts and capabilities delivered as quickly as within one to five years.

The scope of this contract must be broad enough to encompass the potential for a worse-case scenario, such as transferring the support requirements to a stand-alone Chairman’s Controlled Activity (CCA), such as was the case in the late 1990s. Should the organizational transition to a CCA occur prior to or during the period of performance of this contract, this contract will be available to and encompass the requirements of the CCA. In the event of the establishment of a CCA, it is anticipated TOs will be generated requiring the Contractor provide support for infrastructure and day-to-day business-operations sustainment functions. These Information Technology (IT) and business operations functions provide an efficient, cost-effective, single source for the commonly shared activities necessary to conduct the normal, daily operations; such as, but not limited to, information technology, information security and local area networks, mission facilities support, property accountability, financial, and contracts management support activities. As with the other TOs, successful accomplishment of this support will be in accordance with the performance standards specified in the individual and respective TO. For the purpose of developing vendor teams, some requirements will not be included as TOs. Examples of these excluded functions are

N0018918RZ008

of 121

physical security (such as guard and armed escort services), training of weapons systems, providing facility spaces and maintenance, utilities, locksmith and culinary services.

The new JS MAC will run in parallel with the contract it replaces during a transition period lasting up to an anticipated twelve months. This transition will include a phase-in or ramp-up period for the new contract (security clearances, visit requests, indoctrination training, badging, and the like) concurrent with competition for new TOs, as well as the phase-out of the existing contract TOs. The transition from the existing Contractors to the follow-on Contractors will be performed in such a manner as to preclude, or minimize, disruption of contractor support in the execution of the planned tasks. As in the past, this will represent a challenge for all teams to conduct the transition with the minimum duplication of effort. During the phase-in of this effort and the phase-out of the existing contract, all teams will operate in accordance with the transition plans generated by the Prime Contractors and approved by the Government Contracting Officer (KO). Central to the success of a transition plan are steps to ensure the investment and advances made in Training Transformation (T2) are not lost. This requires a broad range of Contractor actions resulting in simultaneous execution of a myriad of tasks with the results dependent upon the aggregate rather than each specific task. The national and international customer base for the JS MAC is expected to evolve as the threat to national security and national defense changes. It is anticipated the demand will also increase for training subject matter expertise at the federal, state, and international levels from those of the existing JFD MAC.

Experience gained from each successive support contract, prompts a widening of the scope of support, for it is from the scope that subsequent, competitively-awarded TOs are based. Some TOs may be competed on an annual basis, while others, because of the production life-cycles, may be for a competitively-awarded base period with option periods. These TOs draw from combinations of capabilities associated with the eleven functional areas: (1) Collective Joint Training; (2) Integrated Joint Training Enablers (3) Joint Individual Training; (4) Joint Lessons Learned; (5) Joint Doctrine; (6) Joint Training Concepts; (7) Joint Training Operational Support; (8) Joint National Training Capabilities (JNTC); (9) Irregular Warfare (IW); (10) Higher Headquarters Executive-Level Support; (11) Joint Training Core Support. These functional areas comprise the integral parts of the support required by the JS enterprise and sundry other customers in the execution of the training, or short-term training-related augmentation operational support, necessary to accomplish the operational mission. Requirements are not static. During the contract ordering period, the evolution or reassignment of the joint training and operations support missions, out-of-cycle training requests, fiscal constraints, process efficiencies, and changes in the customer base may involve growth, reduction, or even the elimination of requirements.

The Contractor teams selected for this contract will be known collectively as the Joint Support Team (JST), purposely done to create an environment that supports the cooperation between the customer organizations and the various companies that may comprise the JST. Successful mission accomplishment will require the full participation and cooperation of the Government Contracting Authority and Contractor teams selected to support this contract in conjunction with team members from the JS and other customer organizations, Commands, companies, academia, and countries. The Contractor is responsible for providing all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, initial training for task performance, as well as other items and non-personal services necessary to perform joint training and operations support as defined in this contract except as specified in section C.8 or the respective Government Furnished Material (GFM) and Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) section of a TO, which describes equipment and material provided by the Government when the place of performance is at a government facility. In instances where the Government introduces new equipment (not legacy software upgrades) or new qualification standards requiring training certifications, the Government is responsible for determining the numbers to be trained and providing the initial training. After the initial training phase the Vendors are responsible for providing trained and where required, certified personnel. Furthermore, the scope of contract support may require annual, mandatory online training. The Government will publish the list of required courseware and the completion dates. The Contractors may invoice the prescribed labor hours against their specific contract for only those Government-identified courses. The Prime Contractor will track and report the completion percentage for their collective team.

The sponsor’s guidance is to establish a MAC that enables use by the entire Joint Staff enterprise, as well as leaving the possibility open for extending support to include providing training support and augmentation to non-joint staff DOD organizations; U.S. Government entities, and multinational partners. These extended partners share common

N0018918RZ008

of 121

bonds with the traditional JS core mission. Every partner has a training requirement that can be enhanced by the capabilities and corporate experience acquired over two decades of providing training and analyses. Furthermore, depending on the operational environment, every one of the partners will be involved in some level of interoperability. A long-held guiding principle is to “train like we fight.” Extending the scope to include the possible interface with varying combinations of the partners embraces the training guidance. This contract defines and continues the evolution of the tasks the Contractor is expected to accomplish for the JS enterprise and other customers to successfully execute the complete spectrum of roles associated with development, preparedness, and support of the respective training audience. JS J7 retains the role and responsibilities of Joint Force Developer. This is defined as providing military and civilian personnel with the education and training required to develop capabilities, skill sets, tools, TTPs (Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures), and processes necessary to successfully accomplish their missions. This contract is intended to allow for the development of a complete spectrum of TOs designed to support non-inherently governmental functions for the JS, while simultaneously supporting concept development, experimentation, training environment development, lessons learned, and doctrine, as well as training. It also provides for short-duration augmentation of real-world operations by trained contractor subject matter experts, capable of supplementing a unit’s capability gaps while providing the requisite education and training for the incoming government, military and civilian augmentees.

The Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program is a form of security assistance authorized by the Arms Export Control Act (AECA), as amended [22 U.S.C. 2751, et. seq.] and a fundamental tool of U.S. foreign policy. Under Section 3, of the AECA, the U.S. may sell defense articles and/or services to foreign countries and international organizations when the President formally finds that to do so will strengthen the security of the U.S. and promote world peace. The Secretary of State determines which countries will have programs. The Secretary of Defense executes the program. Under FMS, the U.S. Government and a foreign government enter into a government-to-government agreement called a Letter of Offer and Acceptance (LOA).

It is the intent of this PWS to also provide Foreign Military Sales, Services, and/or Training (FMS) support to the JS foreign military and international partners. These requirements are within the scope of this PWS and will be further defined at the task order level.

C.5 Ordering Period

The base contract will consist of a single lot having an ordering period of, 01 March 2019 through 30 April 2024. The overall ordering period may be extended in accordance with FAR Clause 52.217-8 for an additional 6 months at the discretion of the US Government. The period of performance (PoP) for the individual TOs will be determined and identified at the TO level, based upon the type of funds used and the nature of the work performed. All O&M-funded Task Orders will be a maximum period of performance of 12-months in duration for the base-year lot and 12-months duration for each subsequent option-year lot on the TOs. Research and Development (R&D) funded TOs are the exception; they may have a base-year period of performance lot that are a maximum of 24-months in duration, and 24-months duration for each subsequent option-year lot on the TOs. Options, if contemplated, will be established at the time of the TO solicitation if deemed appropriate by the requiring official, Task Order Contracting Officer’s Representative (TO COR), and ultimately by the KO for the level of effort and deliverables being purchased. The Government anticipates that the inclusion of option periods at the TO level will be the norm. At the same time, Government exercise of an option should not be taken for granted.

C.6 General Information This contract provides a vehicle for support to a myriad of JS and Coalition customers through the execution of a variety of tasks identified in this PWS. The JST support is intended to enable, in the aggregate, the completion of those tasks that results in the success of the various elements of the roles the JFD has as its assigned responsibilities. The non-personal services approach to the performance of the contract requires the Contractor to be a member of the team, without being a member of the staff, providing the technical and other subject matter expertise necessary to meet the programs, priorities and task changes as a routine process; made simple through the use of Contractor composite teams and various configurations of personnel, facilities and equipment. There are three basic types of joint education and training support tasks: (1) tasks that are conducted locally and distributed to participants worldwide, (training and experimentation), (2) tasks that are conducted at remote sites primarily on behalf of

N0018918RZ008

of 121

Combatant and Functional Commanders at various global locations, and (3) tasks involving functions necessary to enable and sustain the operation of the JS enterprise organization and satellite locations. There will be tasks in which government personnel are responsible for the majority of production with the JST in the remaining supporting roles. In some cases, another Contractor may be participating as a team member to accomplish the JFT event without becoming a member of the JST; for examples a Contractor retained temporarily to provide food services or a consulting subject matter expert for an event. The expectation of this MAC is an increased level of competition and innovation among offerors resulting in a reassessment of best value that remains in step with emerging requirements and technology.

As a general rule, the intent of this contract is to define the result (what needs to be done) and allow the JST to provide the method (how the task is to be done); providing the Contractor maximum flexibility to devise the best method to accomplish the required result. Some tasks, ranging from simulation network operators to information assurance technical support for examples, will require Government-mandated qualifications, which should not be perceived as infringing on the “how.” The Contracting Officer (KO) will designate in writing a Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) and one or more Alternate Contracting Officer’s Representative(s) (ACORs) to assist with the execution of the basic contract with each Vendor. As with the JFD MAC, it is anticipated that each task order will have a Task Order (TO) COR designate. This will ensure the respective requiring official has a local representative who is trained, qualified, and appointed by the KO to execute the provisions of the task order. Customer requiring officials outside the Joint Staff will be responsible for obtaining their own payment office. They will be responsible for security matters germane to their respective task orders, such as visit requests, building access, DD254 guidance, CAC, and special access programs. In addition, they will be responsible for local orientation and indoctrination training, LAN access, and identifying mandatory contractor training. Every effort is being made to differentiate between TO COR and ACOR, in terms of the execution of the basic contract and TO CORs, who are responsible for monitoring the execution of the task orders for the basic contract COR. For the sake of simplicity in this PWS, when the TO COR is specified it includes the ACOR in the TO COR’s absence or for assigned or delegated functions. Occasionally, some task orders may be so large or diversified in their execution that a TO COR needs to identify one or more Technical Assistants (TA) to monitor and facilitate execution of the TO, as well as provide feedback documentation on Contractor performance as part of the input for the annual Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS). Because TAs exercise similar communication and monitoring responsibilities and limitations as TO CORs the TAs should be designated in writing by the TO COR. This appointment of duties and responsibilities will be conveyed to the Prime Contractor Program Manager (PM). Another term used in this contract is “requiring official.” The requiring official is collective term for the government person, or persons, with sufficient subject matter expertise to be responsible for identifying the technical requirements and technical evaluation criteria. The requiring official drafts the TO acquisition package and submits it to the Contracting Authority via the respective acquisition process. The requiring official defines “what needs to be accomplished.” The Vendor or Quoter, as appropriate, defines “how they propose to accomplish the contract.”

Historically, the majority of joint training was referred to as exercises. Over time, in an effort to be more precise, the joint training milestones became collectively referred to as events. Restated, all joint training exercises are events, but not all joint training events are exercises. An anticipated summary list of Operations-supported events by FY over the life of the contract may be found in the Collective Joint Training function discussion presented later and titled, “Anticipated Workload and Projected Event Plan.” The more-detailed, version will be provided as an appendices at the task order level of this contract.

Other schedules will be contained or linked within the respective TO. The events are primarily in support of Regional Combatant and Functional Commanders Joint Training Plans (JTPs), Joint Task Force (JTF) training and mission rehearsals for contingencies worldwide, Partnership for Peace (PfP), Allied Command Transformation (ACT) events, and Senior Leadership events. While these are expected to remain the central JFT focus, the previous enterprise support contracts have experienced significant changes in requirements necessitating flexibility, agility, and innovation. It is essential that the Contractors understand the range and depth of the JFD responsibilities as JFT, Doctrine developer, and Lessons Learned manager, and are prepared to support the mission in all phases as active members of the team. The Government will provide initial training on new requirements, such as a new simulation or level of effort reporting process. This initial training is intended to train a cadre of contractor trainers. The Government, as represented by the KO, or COR; or TO COR, will determine the manner and number of contractors to receive the initial training. Contractors shall be responsible for preparation and training of their work force

N0018918RZ008

of 121

following the aforementioned initial training and the training of their employees on existing systems (hardware and software) required in order to accomplish the JFD mission. This contract encompasses all potential training and technical requirements and usage across the entire Joint Staff Enterprise (to include all directorates).

C.6.1 Common Elements Applicable to All Functional Areas

C.6.1.1 Contractor Personnel Performance Capabilities and Qualifications.

C.6.1.2 Contractor Personnel Education and Training Requirements. In order to perform to the standards of this contract, members of the JST shall be at least minimally competent and proficient on the hardware and software applications necessary to perform their responsibilities at the position and level for which they are assigned. As stated, the Government will not be responsible to provide initial training on versions of existing production-related hardware and software to meet satisfactory competency and proficiency levels of individuals, such as new hires, or in preparation for the assumption of TO responsibilities. The Government is aware that in the course of executing a TO after the performance date, some skill sets, such as the operation of Modeling & Simulation (M&S) hardware, require periodic refresher training to maintain proficiency or prepare for event tests. Additionally, during the life of the contract, to the extent contractor personnel are required by the Government to be educated and trained in the following listed areas, the training will be addressed, included, and provided for under task orders:a. Government-mandated initial or organization-wide refresher training, such as that offered and tracked via a defined process such as JKO (Joint Knowledge Online) for example, Information Security and Counter-terrorism.b. New government-provided software will require initial education and training for a select group prior to the Contractor conducting wholesale installation testing and training for new releases of simulation software and integration services. c. Program changes and future operations (i.e., training for concepts, applications, and equipment not yet included, developed, or integrated into the various JFD JFT events).d. Sustainment training (i.e., training necessary to remain current and proficient with respect to operations, doctrine, and technology).e. Event and program specific training (i.e., training, over and above standard (baseline) set identified by the Government to accomplish the generic JFD training mission. This tailored, augmented training is necessary for accomplishment of a specific event or the integration of multiple events into a single exercise or event).

C.6.1.3 Except where specific qualification standards are identified in the TOs, it is the Contractor’s responsibility and prerogative to develop their own internal qualification programs and processes to ensure they have sufficient capability and capacity to meet the quality requirements of the TO products and services.

C.6.1.4 Contractor Orientation. The Contractor is responsible for providing employees to work under this contract that are indoctrinated with regard to the JS and its operations, or that of the government customer generating the task order requirements. For example, such indoctrination covers the minimum following areas:a. The JS mission and Contractor role b. JS organization and their roles and responsibilitiesc. JS priorities, principles, processes and administrative procedures d. Overview of common hardware and software in use for mission accomplishment e. Quality and process improvement methodologiesf. Physical and information security g. Facilities orientationh. Conservation of resources, such as utilitiesi. Government inventory and property management policies and processesj. Emergency and inclement weather procedures

This indoctrination is the responsibility of the Contractor, and shall not result in direct charge to the contract or its task orders there under.

C.6.2 Quality Control

N0018918RZ008

of 121

C.6.2.1 Quality Control Plan (QCP). The Contractor shall develop and maintain an effective quality control (QC) program to ensure services are performed in accordance with this contract. The Contractor shall develop and implement procedures to identify, prevent, and ensure non-recurrence of unsatisfactory products and services. The Contractor’s QC program is the means by which he assures himself that his work complies with the requirements necessary for the successful execution of the awarded TO and an acceptable level of quality for the products and services delivered. Within thirty days of receipt of the initial TO, or as specified in the initial TO, the Contractor shall submit a QCP, to the TO COR for review and comment. The TO COR has been designated as the Government Quality Assurance Evaluator. The QCP shall identify the procedures that the Contractor shall implement to ensure the successful completion of tasks to be identified in the TOs to be issued hereunder. The TO COR will provide any pertinent comments and questions within 10 days of receipt of the contractor’s QCP. Within thirty days of receipt of the TO COR’s comments, the Contractor shall provide a finalized QCP to the TO COR. The Contractor shall implement and modify, as necessary, the procedures specified within the QCP to ensure the provision of services that will produce the desired outcomes and result in performance of work within the required standards. At a minimum, the Contractor’s QCP shall address:

C.6.2.2 Procedures to establish and comply with the Government’s baseline training requirements. These procedures include: identifying adjustments to required subjects, qualification levels, required time for exercise augmentee training, training on the conduct site surveys, training on event simulation systems and control techniques.

C.6.2.3 Procedures for sustainment of event-support proficiency and resolution of identified capability deficiencies.

C.6.2.4 Procedures to be implemented to ensure successful completion of tasks identified within a TO’s PWS.

C.6.2.5 Procedures to be implemented to ensure contractual requirements and deliverables are met and are provided in a timely manner.

C.6.2.6 Procedures to be implemented to ensure that tasks are completed in a cost efficient manner.

C.6.2.7 Procedures to be implemented to ensure that the Contractor’s work force, level of effort and labor mix, is effectively managed to ensure that tasks are completed in an efficient and effective manner.

C.6.2.8 Procedures to be implemented to ensure the tracking of labor hours expended in the correction or replacement of work that has not met contract requirements.

C.6.2.9 Procedures to ensure control of keys issued to Contractor employees. Such procedures shall include turn-in of any issued keys by personnel who no longer require access to locked areas, as well as reporting missing keys.

C.6.2.10 Procedures to be implemented to ensure lock combinations are changed when personnel having access to the combinations no longer have a need to know such combinations.

C.6.2.11 After acceptance of the QC plan the Contractor will receive the Contracting Officer’s acceptance in writing of any proposed change to his QC system.

C.6.2.12 If successful execution of a TO requires a more detailed QCP than that submitted for the basic contract, the modification will be submitted to the TO COR, who will obtain the KO’s acceptance.

C.6.2.13 Procedures to ensure services provided and products delivered comply with the Government security, section 508 and architecture requirements.

C.6.3 Quality AssuranceC.6.3.1 Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP). The Government will evaluate the Contractor’s performance under this contract in accordance with the QASP. This plan is primarily focused on what the Government must do

N0018918RZ008

of 121

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 the minimum acceptable defect rate(s). The Government will consider the technical content and accuracy of deliverables and work products, product and task quality, timeliness, cost management, and other aspects of contract management, as well as any other aspects of performance as defined in FAR 42.1501. The Contractor is responsible for the analysis of results based upon quantitative and qualitative data collected as defined in the Quality Assurance Plan and the Government will assess the outcome and use this information in the evaluation process in assessing Contractor performance.

C.6.3.2 Government Remedies: The KO will follow the applicable remedies contained in the clauses and provisions of the contract for Contractor’s failure to perform satisfactory services or failure to correct non-conforming services.

C.6.4 Place of Performance.

C.6.4.1 The work required under this contract is envisioned to be primarily accomplished at the JS Pentagon and the JS facilities in Suffolk, Norfolk, and Fort Eustis, Virginia, and other government sites around the world, and at Contractor sites. Based on the requirements of the specific TO, the Contractor will be responsible for establishing Information Technology (IT) architecture to provide NIPRNET capabilities for a seamless and responsive off-site TO support. Dependent on the TO requirements, the Contractor may be responsible for SIPRNET connectivity as well. Because of the security requirements and costs to the Government associated with the TO, the Contractor may be required to work temporarily or for the duration of the TO, at the JS government site as well as other government and non-government sites in CONUS or OCONUS, such as Regional Combatant and Functional Commanders headquarters and in support of the Joint Staff and other customers. Due to a number of factors Contractor support may be split between government and non-government sites. Furthermore, support requirements may include areas designated by the State Department as qualified for Danger Pay and in which armed aggression is present and may be considered War Zones. Access to the Government’s facilities and services shall be coordinated with the TO COR. The Contractor shall be responsible for tracking the locations of their personnel and maintaining recall or notification processes. C.6.4.2 As a rule, event execution involving travel is expected to be of short duration (30 days or less) and funded by the Government. Government approval for contractor travel is the responsibility of the TO COR or Technical Assistant (TA). Some task orders will require new or changed duty locations, including the placement of task support at sites supporting Combatant Commanders and Combatant Commander designated locations, to provide support when detailed in a TO. The Contractor task support for some event activities will be on a 24-hour per day basis. The Government will attempt to deconflict support schedules in sufficient time for the Contractor to manage the workload with a minimum of simultaneous events. Emergent, real-world situations may alter the planned tasks and schedules. Reprioritization by the Government of unplanned events will require immediate Contractor adjustment and responses.

C.6.4.3 The Prime Contractors, including their foreign national employees and subcontractors, may be responsible for the temporary import and export of defense articles, including technical data, and for the performance of defense services in support of this Joint Staff Deputy Director J7 JFT Technical Support Services contract. Such activity will be performed pursuant to 22 CFR 126.4(a) of the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). The JST Contractors will be prepared to perform temporary imports and exports, and to furnish defense services to foreign persons in support of JS's mission, at the express direction of and under the supervision of the JS.

C.6.4.4 When contractor travel involves electronic registration in the Synchronized Predeployment and Operational Tracker (SPOT) process the “Funds Cite with Billing Address” block of the SPOT form will specify:Name of the Prime ContractorAttn: Assigned Business Office routing codeStreet Address City, State, and ZIP CodeC.6.4.5 When a TO requires deployment to Europe for the duration of the task order, Contractors interested in providing a quote must be consider the DoD Personnel Officer (DOCPER) process and timing as part of their support estimate and approach. C.6.5 Recognized Holidays:

N0018918RZ008

of 121

C.6.5.1 Below are the traditional government holidays. With the exception of responsibilities identified in the TOs, such as 24-hour operations in support of network operations, the Contractor will follow their corporate policy for recognized holidays. New Year’s Day Labor DayMartin Luther King Jr.’s Birthday Columbus DayPresident’s Day Veteran’s DayMemorial Day Thanksgiving DayIndependence Day Christmas Day C.6.6 Hours of Operation. As required in the accomplishment of their TO, and in keeping with a non-personal services contract, the Contractor shall be responsible for managing their employees’ labor hours. This includes defining core hours during the work week, as well as managing the labor hours beyond their defined normal workday and during weekends and Federal holidays, as well as when the Government or Contractor facility is closed due to local or national emergencies, administrative closings, or other Government directed facility closings. When hiring personnel, the Contractor should keep in mind that the stability and continuity of the work force are essential to cost control and sustained levels of quality performance.C.6.7 Security

C.6.7.1 Contractor may be required to obtain and possess varying levels of security and access clearances in the performance of task orders issued under this contract. The minimum security clearance for contractor personnel assigned to work on-government-site for the JS TOs is a U.S. SECRET security clearance, or its equivalent. In some cases contractor personnel will require a TOP SECRET (TS) security clearance, and possibly access to Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) and Special Access Programs (SAP). On a task order by task order basis it may be possible for contractors to work on classified deliverables if they are working at a cleared facility. In a like manner, it is anticipated there may be unclassified deliverables that do not require access to the JS or U.S. Government network, and as such do not require a security clearance to perform the tasks at a Contractor site. All security requirements shall be coordinated with the TO COR and respective local security personnel.

C.6.7.2 Contractors will also be required to adhere to the security requirements outlined in the JS DD254 DoD Contract Security Classification Specification that will be issued with each Task Order solicitation.

C.6.7.3 Physical Security. The Contractor will be responsible for maintaining a property book and safeguarding all government property provided for contractor use at a Contractor site. In the absence of security personnel, at the close of each work period government provided equipment and materials will be secured.

C.6.7.4 Key Control. The Contractor will establish and implement methods of making sure all keys and key cards issued to the Contractor by the Government are not lost or misplaced and are not used by unauthorized persons. NOTE: All references to keys include key cards, Common Access Cards (CAC), and individual security identification badges. Keys issued to the Contractor employees by the Government shall not be duplicated. As stated, the Contractor will develop procedures covering key control that will be included in the Quality Control Plan. Such procedures will include turn-in of any issued keys by personnel who no longer require access to locked areas. The Contractor shall report as soon as practicable any occurrences of lost or duplicate keys and key cards to the TO COR and local security official. Pursuant to DoDM 1000.13-M-V1, CAC PKI certificates will be associated with an official government issued e-mail address (e.g. .mil, .gov, .edu). Prior to receipt of a CAC with PKI, contractor personnel shall complete the mandatory Cybersecurity Awareness training and submit a signed System Authorization Access Request (SAAR) form to the contract’s specified COR.

C.6.7.5 In the event keys, other than master keys, are lost or duplicated, the Contractor shall, upon direction of the Contracting Officer, re-key or replace the affected lock or locks; however, the Government, at its option, may replace the affected lock or locks or perform re-keying. When the replacement of locks or re-keying is performed by the Government, the total cost of re-keying or the replacement of the lock or locks will be deducted from the monthly payment due the Contractor. In the event a master key is lost or duplicated, all locks and keys for that system will be replaced by the Government and the total cost deducted from the monthly payment due the Contractor.

N0018918RZ008

of 121

C.6.7.6 The Contractor shall prohibit the use by any persons other than the Contractor’s employees of government keys and key cards issued to members of that Contractor’s team. The Contractor shall prohibit the opening of locked areas by Contractor employees to permit entrance of persons other than Contractor employees engaged in the performance of assigned work in those areas or those personnel authorized entrance by the Government (usually through the use of facility- or event-specific identification badges).

C.6.7.7 Lock Combinations. The Contractor will develop and implement methods of ensuring that all lock combinations are not revealed to unauthorized persons. The Contractor will ensure that lock combinations are changed when personnel having access to the combinations no longer have a need to know such combinations. These procedures will be included in the Contractor’s Quality Control Plan.

C.6.7.8 Security requirements will be dictated by the Federal, DoD, and Joint Staff specific requirements, specific on individual orders. Examples of such requirements are The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-130, The Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA), NIST FIPS PUB 140-2 Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules, the Department of Defense Cybersecurity, and the Department of Defense Risk Management Framework for DoD Information Technology.

C.6.7.9 Cybersecurity. Cybersecurity capabilities and actions protect and defend network availability, protect data integrity and provide the ability to implement effective cyberspace defense. Cybersecurity requirements may include personnel security clearances and background checks; operations and security risk assessments, vulnerability of management processes and plans, identity assurance, cybersecurity workforce, installation and configuration of cybersecurity compliance documentation; and cyberspace defense of the environment, including hardware and software, the networks, and supporting infrastructure, as dictated by the nature of the information (classified and unclassified) and associated risk.

C.6.7.10 The Cyberspace workforce, also known as the Information Assurance workforce perform Cyber IT and Cybersecurity positions. In accordance with DFARS Subpart 239.71, DoDD 8140.01, contractor personnel performing cybersecurity functions shall meet all cybersecurity training, certification, and tracking requirements as cited in DoD 8570.01-M prior to accessing DoD information systems. The CSWF Report DoD 8570.01-M and DFAR’s PGI 239.7102-3 have promulgated that contractor personnel shall have a documented current cybersecurity certification status.

C.6.7.11 All cybersecurity functions will specify the Cybersecurity Workforce category, level, training, and certification requirements for Contractors with privileged access working in cybersecurity technical environments, cybersecurity management personnel, Computer Network Defense Service Providers (CND‐SPs), and cybersecurity systems architects and engineers.

C.6.7.12 Negligent Discharge of Classified Information (NDCI). When information is placed on or processed on an information system with insufficient security controls to appropriately protect it (e.g., classified data on an unclassified system) there is a potential for an unauthorized disclosure. Such actions will be classified as a security violation, specifically a negligent discharge of classified information or NDCI. Contractors that cause NDCIs during the course of the contract shall be held financially liable for all actual accumulated restoration costs incurred, as described below, but not less than $5,000.00 per incident. Such costs will be deducted from the contract price, and are not reimbursable.a. Restoration costs above $5,000.00 will be itemized. A Classified Message Incident Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) that will be followed in the event of an NDCI by the Contractor. Personally Identifiable Information (PII) incidents fall under this category. This is not an exclusive remedy (e.g., in the case of PII spillage, identity theft or other insurance may be needed to protect the individuals).b. NDCI Cleanup actions may include the following actions:

i. Server destructionii. Hard drive wipe and destructioniii. Containment actions

C.7 Task Order Requirements

N0018918RZ008

of 121

C.7.1 Work to be performed under this contract, i.e., products and non-personal services, will be specifically ordered using TOs. To the maximum extent possible the Government will define what needs to be accomplished (i.e. the desired end state and deliverables; quantity, quality and schedules). The JST shall be responsible for determining how the tasks are to be accomplished and execution of tasks within the limitations of available resources and government guidelines. The JST efforts are expected to be managed and limited to those necessary to accomplish the TO deliverables necessary to conduct an event, develop a product or enable the JFD to complete a mission objective. TO work statements may stand alone to fulfill a requirement, or they may contribute to the accomplishment of other TOs. [An example of a standalone TO is the creation of doctrine publications.]

C.7.1.1 Functions, supported by tasks, identified in this contract are: collective joint training, integrated joint training enablers, joint individual training, joint lessons learned, joint doctrine, joint training concepts, joint training operational support, Joint National Training Capabilities (JNTC), Irregular Warfare Assessment Integrations (IW), Higher Headquarters Executive-Level Support, and Joint Training Core Support. The various tasks in each area may or may not be executed using an existing process, such as the Joint Event Life Cycle (JELC), but clearly the completion of the task is intended to provide the product or result. A new, innovative, or modified process used in the conduct of the task must meet or exceed the standards of quality associated with existing, proven processes. Furthermore a new or modified process must be approved and documented as compatible with the existing systems and technologies if they are to be connected, or information transferred, to an existing system, technology, or architecture, such as those involving M&S, IT, Information Assurance (IA), and Knowledge Management (KM). The intent is to use or develop non-proprietary processes for repetitive functions to increase efficiency, effectiveness, and reduce the cost of operations. These existing or developed processes are government property and may be shared with other teams participating in the MAC. The objective is to re-use the same process, data, and capability for similar functions, irrespective of the program supported where they apply.

C.7.1.2 Post-Award Conference, Kickoff, and Periodic Progress Meetings: The Contractor will attend any post-award conference convened by the contracting activity or contract administration office in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation Subpart 42.5. The COR, ACOR, TO COR, TA, or other government personnel will conduct task order kick-off meetings as well as meet periodically with the Contractor to review the Contractor's performance. At times, these meetings may include the KO, who will apprise the Contractor of how the Government views the Contractor's performance. The Contractor will apprise the Government of any problems being experienced. Appropriate action will be taken to resolve outstanding issues.

C.7.1.3 Non-JST Tasks. In order to provide clear demarcation of responsibilities and expectations, it is anticipated there are a number of tasks the JST Contractors will not be awarded TOs to perform. Some of these are because they are by nature inherently governmental functions and responsibilities; involving the commitment of government resources. These tasks are defined as those that by statute or policy must remain under Government control, or are determined to benefit from government leadership. Government will perform the tasks associated with these responsibilities without JST Contractor assistance. Because most of these requirements are not envisioned to become part of a JST TO, offerors should not include these responsibilities as part of their proposal. Others, though not inherently governmental responsibilities, are expected to be performed under separate contracts or by outside agencies. Examples of non-JST tasks are: a. Program direction and strategic assessment of programsb. Budget execution, approval and financial management c. Contracts development, preparation, selection, and managementd. Government personnel managemente. Event direction and event process approval (government event planner)f. Facilities engineering, design, and management; for example, HVAC, electrical, security, telephone switchboard, communications closet, and building modificationsg. Systems engineering requirements development and hardware procurement; for example, LANs, conference room equipment and upgrades, ADPE lifecycle replacement h. Physical security (e.g., guard services) of government facilitiesi. Cafeteria operations and culinary services

C.7.1.4 For planning purposes some subtasks within a TO, may require Government participation (e.g., Technical Assistant, Event Planner, Program Director, or Program Manager), but are primarily executed by the JST Contractor. In some cases, another Contractor, outside the JST, may participate as a member of the larger government team. By the nature of the MAC and the sundry funding sources, there may be two or more TOs with similar or even identical subtasks for each of the program areas, such as Joint Training, Operations, Capabilities and Assessment, Modeling and Simulation, Command, Control, Communications, Computers, & Intelligence (C4I), Facility Support and other functions in support of the customers. In these instances, the objective is to re-use the same process, data, and capabilities where they apply for similar functions, irrespective of the program supported. The TOs may appear to be identical, but they are generated to maintain separate lines of accounting, or to identify variations in deliverables and metrics between requesting customers’ requirements.

C.8 Equipment and Material

C.8.1 Equipment and Material provided when working at a government facility. The Government will provide administrative support hardware and software to contractor personnel located at the government sites. This includes the workspace, workstations (desk, chair, and personal computer) and local area network (LAN) computer connections necessary to access and use the administrative network used by the Government in the accomplishment of the Contractor-assigned tasks. These networks are for administrative and operations support by the government and Contractor personnel. The Government will provide access to operations and tactical systems, analytic hardware and software required to support the specific missions. When the Contractor is located at a government facility, the Government will provide utilities, heating and air conditioning, telephone service, office supplies and ADPE for use during the period of the respective, awarded TO. While the Government does not determine or control the number of contractors required for TO accomplishment, the Government may limit the number of contractors it can accommodate at the government facility. Additionally, the Government will approve the location of those contractors working at government facilities. The Government will make adjustments in the number of workstations and other government-provided support if changes in numbers of Contractor personnel are required.

C.8.2 Contractor-Furnished Equipment (CFE) and Material (CFM). The Contractor will provide incidental hardware, software, LAN and WAN pipelines, ADPE, and supplies to preclude unacceptable delays or mission failure during an event, to demonstrate a proof of concept, to perform software maintenance and testing, or to accomplish On-Contractor-Site task-order-specific production. Because hardware, software, and supplies are normally provided by the Government, CFE and CFM should be limited to instances when it is more cost-effective to do so and time is of the essence for mission accomplishment. Any requirement for CFE or CFM will be described in the task order requirements documentation or approved by the Government in writing prior to the Contractor procurement if a direct charge to the contract or other reimbursement by the Government is anticipated. Examples of incidental materials are connectors, LAN cables, media converters, power cords, power adapters, surge suppressors, projector lamps, as well as printer and copier supplies (paper, toner and the like.)

C.8.3 Regardless of the place of performance all products and deliverables generated at Government expense become the property of the Government.

C.9 Functional Areas: Tasks identified in this section of the PWS are related to and outlined by the following 11 functional areas: (1) Collective Joint Training; (2) Integrated Joint Training Enablers (3) Joint Individual Training; (4) Joint Lessons Learned; (5) Joint Doctrine; (6) Joint Training Concepts; (7) Joint Training Operational Support; (8) Joint National Training Capabilities (JNTC); (9) Irregular Warfare (IW); (10) Higher Headquarters Executive-Level Support; (11) Joint Training Core Support.

C.9.1 Collective Joint Training

C.9.1.1 Collective joint training is defined as events where individuals, or groups of individuals, are trained to function together as a cohesive, supporting and supported entity to accomplish the requirements and objectives defined by higher authority. Examples of collective joint training are Combatant Command and multinational exercises, mission rehearsal exercises and staff-assist visits for worldwide contingency operations. Collective joint

N0018918RZ008

of 121

training uses the JELC, tailored to the specific event, as the over-arching Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M) planning tool.

C.9.1.2 The Contractor will provide support across the entire JS training, rehearsal and event schedules. This support includes deployment to government ranges and remote sites. The Contractor will provide planning, execution and analytical support across the complex spectrum of joint combat, combat support, and combat service support disciplines necessary for JS enterprise-supported events. This includes replication of the full environment of Political, Military, Economic, Social, and Infrastructure and Information (PMESII) influences. Such support will require personnel with knowledge and experience in the application of military doctrine, tactics, techniques, and procedures. The Government will provide information on threat capabilities, doctrine, and tactics to assist the Contractor in preparing PMESII/Operational Environment plans. The Government anticipates providing threat response cell augmentation personnel during exercise execution phase to support and assist the Contractor personnel. Intelligence support is anticipated from the JST to augment the government-provided support. Actual participation levels for both government and Contractor personnel will be identified in the event-specific manning document.

C.9.1.3 Contractor Performance Capabilities for Collective Joint Training

C.9.1.3.1 In addition to the general orientation information, the Contractors with employees assigned to task orders involving collective joint training will be responsible for employee indoctrination germane to all the JFT operations. As a minimum, such indoctrination cover the following areas:

a. Joint Force Trainer Organizations and Functions

b. Joint Training System, to include Joint Event Life Cycle use and Management

c. Combatant Command Exercise and Engagement and Training Transformation Program

d. Training Information Management System use and functions

e. Training and Defense Readiness Reporting System

f. Exercise and Training Objective Development, use and analysis

g. M&S, Joint Live Virtual and Constructive (JLVC), and C4I operations and applications

h. Doctrine Insight and Best practices, Focus Papers, and Current Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTP).

C.9.1.3.2 Capabilities for Specific Tasks. In addition to the indoctrination detailed above, the Contractor will be responsible for providing personnel capable of satisfactory performance in the following areas listed below. These are representative capabilities. The list is not all inclusive, nor is the list of required capabilities immutable.

C.9.1.3.2.1 Force Response Cell Controllers (e.g., Friendly, Threat, and Neutral) and Role Players (e.g. Intelligence, Interagency, Logistics, NGOs, NSC, foreign government diplomats, and Information Operations) should have the subject matter expertise (defined as knowledge, understanding, experience, and correct interpretation of applicable guidelines, restrictions, and TTPs) to replicate their assigned responsibilities. Note, response cells normally consist of ad hoc teams of contractors, role players, and military personnel trained by their Services in military tactics and the operation of Service models. The Contractor will be required to provide JST personnel qualified on the operation of individual Service, Joint, and Coalition models required to conduct the task or event.

C.9.1.3.2.2 Event Analysts are required to have subject matter expertise (defined as knowledge, understanding, experience, and correct interpretation of applicable guidelines, restrictions, and TTPs) in the following areas:

a. Understand applicable strategic- and operational-level Joint and Service-level doctrine.

N0018918RZ008

of 121

b. Review and understand applicable CCMD and theater-specific Contingency Plans (CONPLANs) and theater-specific Operational Plans (OPLANs).

c. Understand and participate in the Joint Event Life Cycle during the exercise development process.

d. Understand the role of the Joint Event Control Group (JECG) in the development of the scenario, road to crisis, operational environment, and specific storylines that ensure the Commander’s training objectives are accomplished.

e. Be able to utilize the Joint Master Events List (JMSEL) tool to track storylines and specific events on a daily basis.

f. Understand the role of response cells and the replication of major subordinate units.

g. Develop collection plans in support of Observer/Trainers (O/Ts) to aid in the preparation of Facilitated After Action Reviews (FAARs) and Commander’s Summary Reports (CSRs).

h. Participate in the development of the FAAR based on observations of the training audience during exercise execution.

C.9.1.3.2.3 The JECG is normally manned by both government and contractor personnel. It is a combination of the Component control cell, intelligence control cell, Master Scenario Events List (MSEL) and scripting control cell, threat cell, neutral forces cell, role-playing cells, AAR cell, and simulation technical control cell. The purpose is to control the event by analyzing the Training Audience play and realistically adjusting the other components of the event to achieve the event training objectives.

C.9.1.3.2.4 Simulations Technical Control and Operations Capabilities. The Contractor will provide the technical support necessary to fulfill the complete spectrum of simulation and C4I operations. This support ranges from monitoring and restoring the health of the simulations pipeline via the Network Operations Security Center (NOSC) to simulation recommendations based on training objectives, scenario, and available resources to design architecture to Live Virtual Constructive (LVC) integration and post-event assessment, for all JS enterprise-supported Computer Assisted Exercises (CAX) events regardless of location. Telecommunications remoting equipment includes simulation system workstations, facsimile machines, copiers, modems, Video Tele Conference (VTC) suite, radio system, multiplexers, cryptographic devices, Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), transformers, cables and connectors, and all other communications equipment used for an event. Both the NOSC and the simulation technical control cell are normally manned exclusively by contractor personnel with the capabilities necessary to operate the core JFD simulations, event networks, and VTC equipment selected for the event. The Contractor will develop and maintain a government-approved certification program for all individuals that require a system password.

C.9.1.4 Collective Joint Training Tasks.

C.9.1.4.1 Support of the events currently being executed and planned for the future will be tailored, i.e., process steps, services, and products added, deleted, or modified dependent upon improvements in processes, management, or emergent requirements. Normally under a performance-based contract the Government would restrict itself to a description of requirements and defer to the Contractor to define the process, however use of the JELC is directed by higher authority until such time as a better process is developed and approved. A comprehensive review of the JELC is contained in the JFD Event Handbook and the CJCS Joint Training Manual. As an overview of JELC event planning and execution, the following examples of the JELC process steps are characteristic of support requirements for collective joint training. They are described in greater detail below, and are intended to demonstrate the range and complexity of tasks, which include a Concept Development Conference (CDC), Initial Planning Conference (IPC), a Mid-Planning Conference (MPC), and a Final Planning Conference (FPC), modeling and simulation in-progress reviews, academic seminars, a Mini-Exercise, event execution, and assessment phase which includes a FAAR. Activities may also include site surveys, MSEL and Intelligence scripting events, training objective workshops and other planning sessions. As reusable packages and technologies are developed, and as the process improvement projects are completed, the amount of effort for each activity should be reduced. The workload for the overall JFT program is not expected to decrease, the reductions through efficiencies gained, most likely will be

N0018918RZ008

of 121

offset by more events with more complex requirements. For these reasons process reviews and improvements are considered inherent parts of every task.

C.9.1.4.2 The Contractor supports exercises, rehearsals and training events in combinations dictated by real-world and scheduled training requirements. From initial planning to assessment, an event life cycle may require up to fourteen months of calendar time, however the current trend is for shorter periods, typically 3 to 12 months with an average of about 8 months. Each event will have its own tailored JELC and the event life cycles will overlap. The Contractor will execute the tasks, tailored to the customer’s requirements, for all required phases, rather than a fixed schedule for all events. The tasks described are typical of those required for JFD events, or other similar requirements. The expected outcomes of each step in the JELC are products and services that contribute to the overall goal of the training audience successfully learning the tactics techniques and procedures appropriate for their level of roles and responsibilities.

C.9.1.4.3 CAX- and C4I-related Technical Tasks. The Contractor will perform the following tasks characteristic of the technical support required for successful accomplishment of a specific joint training event:

a. Coordinate with the designated JS enterprise government POC for the allocation of responsibilities and management of the event-support simulations, administration computer systems (hardware and software), and C2 equipment.

b. Provide technical requirements for planning and architecture design based on site surveys.

c. Recommend event support systems based upon training objectives, scenario, and operational environment.

d.

Obtain proper clearance and background investigations to be designated a COMSEC Management System (CMS) user to the parent account.

j. Assemble, install, configure, disassemble and prepare for shipment simulation and C4I equipment and documentation, including the interface of special interest circuits such as Global Command and Control System (GCCS), Joint Deployable Intelligence Support System (JDISS), and JWICS. C4I equipment includes the C4I replicated to fulfill the event training objectives as well as C4I systems for control of the event at all locations.

k. Support the After-Action Review (AAR) data collection process requirements with event replay and simulation operations records.

l. Develop and test solutions to integrate event-specific simulations and C4I equipment to replicate real-world conditions.

n. Maintain the health, transparency, and restore availability of the models and simulation network throughout the JELC by performing the operational troubleshooting and maintenance of the simulations and C4I systems hardware and software (operating systems, combat events, graphics display, reports generator, network interface, simulation truth data structure, unit parameters, simulation parameters, scenario preparation program and terrain database program).

o. Provide instruction to the operators on specifics of the simulation.

p. Provide education and training for team members supporting the event.

q. Operate a network management capability to include required reporting functions to the NOSC.

C.9.1.4.4 World News Network and Video Production Tasks. The Contractor will provide the primary operational support for the JT’s news network studio and on-location operations. This includes a production and editing facility and processes for the material development, distribution, and inclusion of this facility in the training process for events conducted internally and throughout the world.

C.9.1.4.5 Anticipated Workload and Projected Event Plan.

The JST traditionally faces a steadily increasing demand for more training and training-related activities. It is intended that this increasing demand will be met through improved process management techniques, improved technology, improved use of resources, and development of reusable packages to support activities during the period of the contract and in many cases, establishing a priority that drops lower priority events. The Contractor will be tasked to support this activity by periodically reviewing and assessing activities in terms of both the efficient use of resources and the efficient re-use of products. JT workload projections for FY 19-24 are provided below as planning estimates only. This does not cover the other elements of tasks not related to specific events, such as mobile training team or in-resident class schedules. During the course of the contract, FY 19 through FY 24, the JS enterprise will introduce new capabilities with the models currently being developed. Upgrades to existing models will be used to support the exercises. The JS enterprise supports Combatant Command Exercises and Allied Command Transformation events using the same or tailored versions of the applications to minimize cost and increase product reuse.

C.9.4 Joint Lessons Learned

C.9.4.1 Joint lessons learned are captured through the collection, analysis, and assessment of experience gathered from real-world operations and training events. Event priority and complexity determines the level and duration of support. Joint lessons learned best practices and After-Action Reviews (AARs) produce recommendations derived from direct observations and sound analysis of current joint operations. As part of this process, maintaining the lessons learned resource library, including archives and documents pertaining to joint operations around the world, is critical to joint training and doctrine. Joint lessons learned support the Joint Training System through its recommendations for training and doctrine. The development of joint operational lessons learned products and the integration of the lessons into relevant training objectives, doctrine, and professional military education provides the trainee with current perspective and lessons from the warfighter in the field.

C.9.5 Joint Doctrine

C.9.5.1 The purpose of joint doctrine is to enhance the operational effectiveness of U.S. forces. Joint doctrine consists of fundamental principles, tactics, techniques, and procedures that guide the employment of U.S. military forces in coordinated action toward a common objective. It is the result of joint lessons learned and forms the basis for the evolution of joint training.

C.9.5.1.1 Joint doctrine is based on existing capabilities, i.e., current force structures and material. It incorporates time-tested principles; e.g., the principles of war, operational art, and elements of operational design for successful military action, as well as contemporary lessons that exploit U.S. advantages against adversary vulnerabilities. Use of joint doctrine standardizes terminology, training, relationships, responsibilities, and processes among all U.S. forces to free Joint Force Commanders (JFCs) and their staffs to focus their efforts on solving the strategic, operational, and tactical problems confronting them. Joint doctrine is authoritative guidance and will be followed except when, in the judgment of the commander, exceptional circumstances dictate otherwise.

C.9.5.1.2 Joint doctrine is not dogmatic. The focus is on how to think about operations, not what to think about operations. It should foster initiative, creativity, and conditions that allow commanders the freedom to adapt to varying circumstances. Joint doctrine should not include detail that is more appropriate in regulations and instructions, service doctrine, standard operating procedures, plans, or other publications. Joint training and operations will be accomplished in accordance with approved joint doctrine. Joint doctrine provides the foundation for Joint Professional Military Education (JPME) at all educational levels. A major influence on doctrine is lessons learned and observations from operations, exercises, and training. Relevant lessons learned are normally adopted during routine development and maintenance of a Joint Publication (JP).

C.9.5.1.3 The Chairman’s joint doctrine and Universal Joint Task (UJT) programs are managed by the Joint Staff J7, leveraging unique government capabilities between the Pentagon and Hampton Roads, Virginia. The JS J7 is responsible for policy, program management, scheduling, staffing, coordination, publishing of approved products, continuous assessment of doctrine and UJT content to ensure that products are timely and relevant for the joint warfighter. The missions of the Doctrine and Universal Joint Task List (UJTL) programs are currently in transition and have not been defined to date.

C.9.6 Joint Training Concepts

C.9.6.1 Joint training concepts are defined as the ideas and approaches to providing more effective joint training or resolving warfighter challenges.

N0018918RZ008

of 121

C.9.8.1 Service Joint Training and the Joint National Training Capability (JNTC). JS/J7 Service Joint Training Division (SJTD) has the responsibility to enrich and improve the joint training environment for the Joint Training Enterprise (JTE) with the goal to improve the quality and quantity of joint training at existing training programs. SJTD manages and executes the Joint National Training Capability (JNTC) mission with a special focus on tactical and operational level joint training conducted by Service and USSOCOM training programs. The JNTC is part of the Office of the Secretary of Defense Training Transformation (T2) initiative specified in CJCSI 3500.01H, Joint Training Policy for the Armed Forces of the United States. JNTC is the operational centerpiece of the T2 strategy that implements training transformation through enhancements of the joint training environment in existing training programs. SJTD uses JNTC processes to identify and analyze joint context shortfalls, develop and integrate capabilities, and implement solutions to meet those shortfalls.

C.9.8.2 JNTC Accreditation, Certification, and Mitigation (ACM): Accreditation is a determination that a USSOCOM, Service, or Component training program has the capability to conduct training on Universal Joint Tasks (UJTs) and provide the training audience a realistic joint environment that includes the appropriate elements of joint context for the joint tasks, or portions of joint tasks, being trained. During JNTC Accreditation, the experts analyze the programs’ abilities to plan and execute joint training. Certification is a determination that training sites and systems are compliant with specified Department of Defense (DoD) and JNTC architectures, configurations, and standards required to create a supportable, realistic joint training environment. Training programs typically train their audiences through discreet training events (also known as exercises) executed in either live, virtual or constructive modes, or some combination thereof. Certification experts study capabilities available at training sites and the related infrastructure that underlie and support joint training. Mitigation is the process which analyses shortfalls/ issues identified during the JNTC Accreditation and Certification processes to determine appropriate solutions, and then executes action plans to implement those solutions. Mitigation employs experts to do solutions analysis and to devise Mitigation Action Plans (MAP) to implement the selected solutions and resolve identified requirements. The contractor shall provide senior expertise for analyses, joint training improvement, integration, interoperability, and event requirements. The contractor provides the expertise to and interfaces with government representatives in the rank of O-5 through O-7 and GS 13 through GS 15. The government requires analysts with a high degree of experience and expertise to perform JNTC processes. The government defines high degree of experience as 10 or more years of successful military experience working with groups and senior officers in the planning and execution of joint operations and training.

This task requires a college graduate ability to research, analyze, write, and present authoritative theses.

C.9.8.5 Facilitate and participate in Orientation and Training Visits, Analysis Visits, and Site Visits for designated JNTC programs and sites. Orientation and Training Visits occur when a team from the SJTD travels to the program to orient senior leaders to JNTC and to train the program staff on the Accreditation and Certification processes. This is normally the first major step to begin the Accreditation and/or Certification of the program/site. Visits may be conducted either at the program/site location or held at the Joint Staff J7 facilities in Suffolk, VA.

C.9.8.6 Facilitate and participate in meetings and task reviews to represent JNTC interests and provide input for JNTC processes. This occurs through collaboration of experts (both internal and at the training program) and through a series of meetings during which the experts perform analyses of a training program’s abilities to provide training on specified joint tasks. The results of these analyses, collaborations and meetings is a thorough documentation of the training program’s ability to provide joint training, and an articulation of any gaps, issues or shortfalls it may have in its joint training abilities.

C.9.8.7 The contractor shall provide on an intermittent basis subject matter expertise. The government does not have individuals with this expertise on its permanent staff but requires them to perform the ACM analyses as

C.11 Access to the Wounded Warrior Education and Employment Initiative (E2I) (Non-Mandatory)

The Wounded Warrior Education and Employment Initiative (E2I) is a collaborative effort, led by Department of Defense (DoD), with support from the Joint Staff, to address the synchronization, integration and possible expansion of existing education and employment support efforts for wounded, ill, and injured Service members. E2I postures the wounded, ill, and injured Service member to transition from active duty to civilian life by fine-tuning their career readiness for employment placement opportunities. Details concerning the E2I Program are being provided solely for informational purposes. The E2I Program is not mandatory and is not a requirement of this PWS. The E2I Program is not included as part of the solicitation evaluation criteria, nor will it be evaluated.

E2I operates with the goal of engaging wounded, ill, and injured Service members early in their recovery process to identify the skills they have, career opportunities that match those skills, and any additional skills they will need to be successful. This DoD program is available to all wounded, ill, and injured Service members in all branches of the Military Services, as well as all components of those Services (Active, Guard and Reserve).

E2I program works by building relationships with employers in various industries. Also, by developing strategic partnerships with employers across different industries, E2I Coordinators are better able to assist Service members by identifying career matching opportunities with an industry partner that is the best fit. The E2I program seeks to assist both the employers and Service members in making successful career decisions.

The Office of the Secretary of Defense has oversight of the E2I program and provides E2I Regional Coordinators. More information pertaining to the E2I Program is available at http://warriorcare.dodlive.mil/carecoordination/e2i/. A listing of the E2I Regional Coordinators can be found at https://warriorcare.dodlive.mil/e2i-regional-coordinators/. Contractors are responsible for contacting the applicable E21 Regional Coordinators directly should they have an interest in participating in the E2I Program.

N0018918RZ008

of 121

b. The Plan consists of two parts: Phase-In and Phase-Out of incumbent and new contractor teams. The Phase-In will address the ramp-up in numbers of people and the transition of the work. The Phase-In requires the Contractor to work with the existing contractors in the transition of work being performed. Phase-Out of the contract will address the transition to the next Contractor Team at the end of this contract. The Phase-In and Phase-Out periods each will be no less than fourteen (14) days but no more than one hundred and twenty (120) days. The reference is to calendar days, not working days. The level of detail for the plan must be sufficient for each of the four parties to understand and be able to execute. The four parties are the Government, the incumbent Contractor; the Contractor awarded this contract, and the Contractor that will be awarded the follow-on to this contract. The plan will address the ramp up of the contract and the process to ensure that the impact to other programs within the JS enterprise or other government sites is mitigated.

c. During the period from the contract award, until the phase-out of the current contract, there will be events that are proceeding as part of the long-range schedule. The new contract personnel will assist the existing contractors in the performance of the functions with the expectation that as the events continue, the new Contractor will take on the responsibility to execute. The management of the overlap of the two contracts is a government function. Guidance will be issued providing direction and clarification of each contractor’s responsibility that is within the scope of the respective contract.

C.12.1 During transition, the Contractor will provide the following:a. Conduct indoctrination and orientation for new contractor personnel.b. Provide training to contractor personnel on specific applications unique to JS. c. Account for and transfer government property.d. Establish subcontractor teaming arrangements and automated data processing requirements.e. Exchange program-related corporate knowledge with incumbent.f.

Program changes and future operations (i.e., training for concepts, applications, and equipment not yet included, developed, or integrated into the various JS events),c. Sustainment training (i.e., training to keep the program current with respect to operations, doctrine, and technology), and d. Event and program specific training (i.e., training, over and above the required qualifications detailed above, required to cover a specific event or the integration of multiple events into a single exercise or event).

C.13.1 Sustainment Training

C.13.1.1 This training is continuous for all contractor personnel throughout the contract period. The Contractor will operate a professional development program designed to ensure all contract personnel sustain their expert proficiency level and to update their professional, technical, simulation, and doctrinal knowledge base. The program will include any areas of JFD mission expansion (new models, doctrinal concepts, equipment, capabilities, threats, units, and missions). The Government and other JS enterprise contractor personnel may attend such training.

C.13.1.2 The deployment training (sometimes called pre-deployment training) program shall be sequenced and timed for execution during the pre-deployment phase of JFD event cycles. Some Simulation Training of contractor personnel as specified in above may be accomplished in conjunction with the contractor's training of augmentees; however, this training shall not interfere with unit augmentee training (unit augmentee training is that training provided by the Contractor to unit player/controllers who will serve in response cells, operate the simulation and make its operation transparent to that portion of the exercised unit's command post, which may be in a remote location). The Contractor will ensure that all subjects (both doctrinal and simulation) and materials are covered in

N0018918RZ008

The IT-II level, defined in detail in SECNAV M-5510.30, includes positions which require access to information protected under the Privacy Act, to include Protected Health Information (PHI). All contractor employees under this contract who require access to Privacy Act protected information are therefore categorized no lower than IT-II. IT Levels are determined by the requiring activity’s Command Information Assurance Manager.

Contractor employees requiring privileged or IT-I level access, (when specified by the terms of the contract) require a Single Scope Background Investigation (SSBI) or T5 or T5R equivalent investigation , which is a higher level investigation than the National Agency Check with Law and Credit (NACLC)/T3/T3R described below. Due to the privileged system access, an investigation suitable for High Risk national security positions is required. Individuals who have access to system control, monitoring, or administration functions (e.g. system administrator, database administrator) require training and certification to Information Assurance Technical Level 1, and must be trained and certified on the Operating System or Computing Environment they are required to maintain.

Access to sensitive IT systems is contingent upon a favorably adjudicated background investigation. When access to IT systems is required for performance of the contractor employee’s duties, such employees shall in-process with the Navy Command’s Security Manager and Information Assurance Manager upon arrival to the Navy command and shall out-process prior to their departure at the completion of the individual’s performance under the contract. Completion and approval of a System Authorization Access Request Navy (SAAR-N) form is required for all individuals accessing Navy Information Technology resources. The decision to authorize access to a government IT system/network is inherently governmental. The contractor supervisor is not authorized to sign the SAAR-N; therefore, the government employee with knowledge of the system/network access required or the COR shall sign the SAAR-N as the “supervisor”.

The SAAR-N shall be forwarded to the Command’s Security Manager at least 30 days prior to the individual’s start date. Failure to provide the required documentation at least 30 days prior to the individual’s start date may result in delaying the individual’s start date. When required to maintain access to required IT systems or networks, the contractor shall ensure that all employees requiring access complete annual Information Assurance (IA) training, and maintain a current requisite background investigation. The Contractor’s Security Representative shall contact the Command Security Manager for guidance when reinvestigations are required.

INTERIM ACCESS

The Command's Security Manager may authorize issuance of a DoD CAC and interim access to a DoN or DoD unclassified computer/network upon a favorable review of the investigative questionnaire and advance favorable fingerprint results. When the results of the investigation are received and a favorable determination is not made, the contractor employee working on the contract under interim access will be denied access to the computer network and this denial will not relieve the contractor of his/her responsibility to perform.

DENIAL OR TERMINATION OF ACCESS

The potential consequences of any requirement under this clause including denial or termination of physical or system access in no way relieves the contractor from the requirement to execute performance under the contract within the timeframes specified in the contract. Contractors shall plan ahead in processing their employees and

N0018918RZ008

of 121

subcontractor employees. The contractor shall insert this clause in all subcontracts when the subcontractor is permitted to have unclassified access to a federally controlled facility, federally-controlled information system/network and/or to government information, meaning information not authorized for public release.

CONTRACTOR’S SECURITY REPRESENTATIVE

The contractor shall designate an employee to serve as the Contractor’s Security Representative. Within three work days after contract award, the contractor shall provide to the requiring activity’s Security Manager and the Contracting Officer, in writing, the name, title, address and phone number for the Contractor’s Security Representative. The Contractor’s Security Representative shall be the primary point of contact on any security matter. The Contractor’s Security Representative shall not be replaced or removed without prior notice to the Contracting Officer and Command Security Manager.

BACKGROUND INVESTIGATION REQUIREMENTS AND SECURITY APPROVAL PROCESS FOR CONTRACTORS ASSIGNED TO NATIONAL SECURITY POSITIONS OR PERFORMING SENSITIVE DUTIES

Navy security policy requires that all positions be given a sensitivity value based on level of risk factors to ensure appropriate protective measures are applied. Contractor employees under this contract are recognized as Non-Critical Sensitive [ADP/IT-II] positions when the contract scope of work require physical access to a federally controlled base, facility or activity and/or requiring access to a DoD computer/network, to perform unclassified sensitive duties. This designation is also applied to contractor employees who access Privacy Act and Protected Health Information (PHI), provide support associated with fiduciary duties, or perform duties that have been identified as National Security Positions. At a minimum, each contractor employee must be a US citizen and have a favorably completed NACLC or T3 or T3R equivalent investigation to obtain a favorable determination for assignment to a non-critical sensitive or IT-II position. The investigation consists of a standard NAC and a FBI fingerprint check plus law enforcement checks and credit check. Each contractor employee filling a non-critical sensitive or IT-II position is required to complete:

SF-86 Questionnaire for National Security Positions (or equivalent OPM investigative product) Two FD-258 Applicant Fingerprint Cards (or an electronic fingerprint submission) Original Signed Release Statements

Failure to provide the required documentation at least 30 days prior to the individual’s start date shall result in delaying the individual’s start date. Background investigations shall be reinitiated as required to ensure investigations remain current (not older than 10 years) throughout the contract performance period. The Contractor’s Security Representative shall contact the Command Security Manager for guidance when reinvestigations are required.

Regardless of their duties or IT access requirements ALL contractor employees shall in-process with the Command’s Security Manager upon arrival to the command and shall out-process prior to their departure at the completion of the individual’s performance under the contract. Employees requiring IT access shall also check-in and check-out with the Navy Command’s Information Assurance Manager. Completion and approval of a System Authorization Access Request Navy (SAAR-N) form is required for all individuals accessing Navy Information Technology resources. The SAAR-N shall be forwarded to the Navy Command’s Security Manager at least 30 days prior to the individual’s start date. Failure to provide the required documentation at least 30 days prior to the individual’s start date shall result in delaying the individual’s start date. The contractor shall ensure that each contract employee requiring access to IT systems or networks complete annual Information Assurance (IA) training, and maintain a current requisite background investigation. Contractor employees shall accurately complete the required investigative forms prior to submission to the Command Security Manager. The Command’s Security Manager will review the submitted documentation for completeness prior to submitting it to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM); Potential suitability or security issues identified may render the contractor employee ineligible for the assignment. An unfavorable determination is final (subject to SF-86 appeal procedures) and such a determination does not relieve the contractor from meeting any contractual

N0018918RZ008

of 121

obligation under the contract. The Command’s Security Manager will forward the required forms to OPM for processing. Once the investigation is complete, the results will be forwarded by OPM to the DoD Central Adjudication Facility (CAF) for a determination.

If the contractor employee already possesses a current favorably adjudicated investigation, the contractor shall submit a Visit Authorization Request (VAR) via the Joint Personnel Adjudication System (JPAS) or a hard copy VAR directly from the contractor’s Security Representative. Although the contractor will take JPAS “Owning” role over the contractor employee, the Command will take JPAS "Servicing" role over the contractor employee during the hiring process and for the duration of assignment under that contract. The contractor shall include the IT Position Category per SECNAV M-5510.30 for each employee designated on a VAR. The VAR requires annual renewal for the duration of the employee’s performance under the contract.

BACKGROUND INVESTIGATION REQUIREMENTS AND SECURITY APPROVAL PROCESS FOR CONTRACTORS ASSIGNED TO OR PERFORMING NON-SENSITIVE DUTIES

Contractor employee whose work is unclassified and non-sensitive (e.g., performing certain duties such as lawn maintenance, vendor services, etc. ...) and who require physical access to publicly accessible areas to perform those duties shall meet the following minimum requirements:

Must be either a US citizen or a US permanent resident with a minimum of 3 years legal residency in the United States (as required by The Deputy Secretary of Defense DTM 08-006 or its subsequent DoD instruction) and

Must have a favorably completed National Agency Check with Written Inquiries (NACI) or T1 investigation equivalent including a FBI fingerprint check prior to installation access.

To be considered for a favorable trustworthiness determination, the Contractor’s Security Representative must submit for all employees each of the following:

SF-85 Questionnaire for Non-Sensitive Positions Two FD-258 Applicant Fingerprint Cards (or an electronic fingerprint submission) Original Signed Release Statements

The contractor shall ensure each individual employee has a current favorably completed National Agency Check with Written Inquiries (NACI) or T1 equivalent investigation, or ensure successful FBI fingerprint results have been gained and investigation has been processed with OPM

Failure to provide the required documentation at least 30 days prior to the individual’s start date may result in delaying the individual’s start date.

* Consult with your Command Security Manager and Information Assurance Manager for local policy when IT-III (non-sensitive) access is required for non-US citizens outside the United States.

contractor shall promptly notify the PCO in writing. No action may be taken by the contractor unless the PCO or CAO has issued a contractual change. The COR duties are as follows:

a. Technical Interface

(1) The COR is responsible for all Government technical interface concerning the contractor and furnishing technical instructions to the contractor. These instructions may include: technical advice/recommendations/clarifications of specific details relating to technical aspects of contract requirements; milestones to be met within the general terms of the contract or specific subtasks of the contract; or, any other interface of a technical nature necessary for the contractor to perform the work specified in the contract or order. The COR is the point of contact through whom the contractor can relay questions and problems of a technical nature to the PCO.

(2) The COR is prohibited from issuing any instruction which would constitute a contractual change. The COR shall not instruct the contractor how to perform. If there is any doubt whether technical instructions contemplated fall within the scope of work, contact the PCO for guidance before transmitting the instructions to the contractor.

b. Contract Surveillance

(1) The COR shall monitor the contractor's performance and progress under the contract. In performing contract surveillance duties, the COR should exercise extreme care to ensure that he/she does not cross the line of personal services. The COR must be able to distinguish between surveillance (which is proper and necessary) and supervision (which is not permitted). Surveillance becomes supervision when you go beyond enforcing the terms of the contract. If the contractor is directed to perform the contract services in a specific manner, the line is being crossed. In such as situation, the COR's actions would be equivalent to using the contractor's personnel as if they were government employees and would constitute transforming the contract into one for personal services.

(2) The COR shall monitor the contractor's performance to see that inefficient or wasteful methods are not being used. If such practices are observed, the COR is responsible for taking reasonable and timely action to alert the contractor and the PCO to the situation. When contract performance is taking place at a government location, the COR shall also monitor contractor employees performing under the contract with regard to kind, number and hours worked to ensure that the contractor is properly charging time applied to the contract. A record of such personal observations should be kept and compared with charges invoiced by the contractor for that task and time frame. This information can also be used as a tool in evaluating the contractor certificate of performance. It is essential that the COR coordinate these efforts with the CAO designated in the contract.

(3) The COR will take timely action to alert the PCO to any potential performance problems. If performance schedule slippage is detected, the COR should determine the factors causing the delay and report them to the PCO, along with the contractor's proposed actions to eliminate or overcome these factors and recover the slippage. Once a recovery plan has been put in place, the COR is responsible for monitoring the recovery and keeping the PCO advised of progress.

(4) The COR shall maintain surveillance of the contractor's performance to determine if the percentage of work performed reasonably corresponds to the percentage of funds expended. This responsibility requires a thorough review of the contractor's progress reports. The COR shall immediately report to the PCO any difficulties perceived in this area. The COR is also responsible for providing the contractor with any written comments the PCO may make in response to the progress reports and/or personal observations of the COR.

(5) If the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) is applicable to the contract you are responsible for completing a Contractor Performance Assessment Report (CPAR) in the CPARS Automated Information System (AIS). The initial CPAR, under an eligible contract, must reflect evaluation of at least 180 days of contractor performance. The completed CPAR, including contractor comments if any, (NOTE: contractors are allowed 30 days to input their comments) should be available in the CPARS AIS for reviewing official (PCO) review no later than 270 days after start of contract performance. Subsequent CPARs covering any contract option periods should be ready at 1-year intervals thereafter.

c. Invoice Review and Approval/Inspection and Acceptance

(1) The COR is responsible for quality assurance of services performed and acceptance of the services or deliverables. The COR shall expeditiously review copies of the contractor's invoices or vouchers, certificate of

N0018918RZ008

of 121

performance and all other supporting documentation to determine the reasonableness of the billing. In making this determination, the COR must take into consideration all documentary information available and any information developed from personal observations.

(2) The COR must indicate either complete or partial concurrence with the contractor's invoice/voucher by executing the applicable certificate of performance furnished by the contractor. The COR may request DCAA to take a payment offset on questioned costs, when documentary evidence or personal observations do not support submitted invoices. The COR shall notify DCAA when questioned costs have been resolved with the contractor. The COR will ensure that DCAA conducts floor checks and/or timecard checks when actual monitoring is not feasible. The COR will be cognizant of the invoicing procedures and the prompt payment due dates detailed elsewhere in the contract.

(3) The COR will provide the PCO and the CAO with copies of acceptance documents such as Certificates of Performance.

(4) Upon completion of all services under the contract, the COR shall work with the Contractor to obtain and execute a final voucher no more than 60 days after completion of performance. The COR shall ensure that the voucher is clearly marked as a “Final Voucher.”

d. Contract Modifications/Orders Under Indefinite Delivery Contracts.

(1) The COR is responsible for developing the statement of work for tasking orders, change orders or modifications and for preparing an independent government cost estimate of the effort described in the proposed statement of work.

(2) Once the Ordering Officer has requested and received the contractor's proposal the COR shall review and evaluate the contractor's proposal and furnish comments and recommendations to the authorized Ordering Officer, as appropriate.

(3) The COR may interface with the contractor to obtain necessary information to assist in his/her development of the task statements, but the contractor shall not develop the task.

e. Administrative Duties

(1) The COR is responsible for taking appropriate action on technical correspondence pertaining to the contract and for maintaining files on each contract. This includes all modifications, government cost estimates, contractor invoices/vouchers, certificates of performance, DD 250 forms and contractor's status reports.

(2) The COR shall maintain files on all correspondence relating to contractor performance, whether satisfactory or unsatisfactory, and on trip reports for all government personnel visiting the contractor's place of business for the purpose of discussing the contract.

(3) The COR must take prompt action to provide the PCO with any contractor or technical code request for change, deviation or waiver, along with any supporting analysis or other required documentation.

f. Government Furnished Property. When government property is to be furnished to the contractor, the COR will take the necessary steps to ensure that it is furnished in a timely fashion and in proper condition for use. The COR will maintain adequate records to ensure that property furnished is returned and/or that material has been consumed in the performance of work.

g. Security. The COR is responsible for ensuring that any applicable security requirements are strictly adhered to.

h. Standards of Conduct. The COR is responsible for reading and complying with all applicable agency standards of conduct and conflict of interest instructions.

i. Written Report/Contract Completion Statement.

(1) The COR is responsible for timely preparation and submission to the PCO, of a written, annual evaluation of the contractors performance. The report shall be submitted within 30 days prior to the exercise of any contract option and 60 days after contract completion. The report shall include a written statement that services were received in accordance with the Contract terms and that the contract is now available for close-out. The report shall also include a statement as to the use made of any deliverables furnished by the contractor. For contracts where delivery orders are issued, one consolidated report which addresses all actions under the

If an applicable Disclosure Statement has already been submitted, the offeror may satisfy the requirement for submission by providing the information requested in paragraph (c) of Part I of this provision.

Caution: In the absence of specific regulations or agreement, a practice disclosed in a Disclosure Statement shall not, by virtue of such disclosure, be deemed to be a proper, approved, or agreed-to practice for pricing proposals or accumulating and reporting contract performance cost data.

52.222-46 EVALUATION OF COMPENSATION FOR PROFESSIONAL EMPLOYEES (FEB 1993)

(a) Recompetition of service contracts may in some cases result in lowering the compensation (salaries and fringe benefits) paid or furnished professional employees. This lowering can be detrimental in obtaining the quality of professional services needed for adequate contract performance. It is therefore in the Government's best interest that professional employees, as defined in 29 CFR 541, be properly and fairly compensated. As part of their proposals, offerors will submit a total compensation plan setting forth salaries and fringe benefits proposed for the professional employees who will work under the contract. The Government will evaluate the plan to assure that it reflects a sound management approach and understanding of the contract requirements. This evaluation will include an assessment of the offeror's ability to provide uninterrupted high-quality work. The professional compensation proposed will be considered in terms of its impact upon recruiting and retention, its realism, and its consistency with a total plan for compensation. Supporting information will include data, such as recognized national and regional compensation surveys and studies of professional, public and private organizations, used in establishing the total compensation structure.

(b) The compensation levels proposed should reflect a clear understanding of work to be performed and should indicate the capability of the proposed compensation structure to obtain and keep suitably qualified personnel to meet mission objectives. The salary rates or ranges must take into account differences in skills, the complexity of various disciplines, and professional job difficulty. Additionally, proposals envisioning compensation levels lower than those of predecessor contractors for the same work will be evaluated on the basis of maintaining program continuity, uninterrupted high-quality work, and availability of required competent professional service employees. Offerors are cautioned that lowered compensation for essentially the same professional work may indicate lack of sound management judgment and lack of understanding of the requirement.

(c) The Government is concerned with the quality and stability of the work force to be employed on this contract. Professional compensation that is unrealistically low or not in reasonable relationship to the various job categories, since it may impair the Contractor's ability to attract and retain competent professional service employees, may be viewed as evidence of failure to comprehend the complexity of the contract requirements.

(d) Failure to comply with these provisions may constitute sufficient cause to justify rejection of a proposal.

(End of provision)

52.237-10 IDENTIFICATION OF UNCOMPENSATED OVERTIME (MAR 2015)

(a) Definitions. As used in this provision--

Adjusted hourly rate (including uncompensated overtime) is the rate that results from multiplying the hourly rate for a 40-hour work week by 40, and then dividing by the proposed hours per week which includes uncompensated overtime hours over and above the standard 40-hour work week. For example, 45 hours proposed on a 40-hour work week basis at $20 per hour would be converted to an uncompensated overtime rate of $17.78 per hour ($20.00 x 40 divided by 45 = $17.78).

Uncompensated overtime means the hours worked without additional compensation in excess of an average of 40 hours per week by direct charge employees who are exempt from the Fair Labor Standards Act. Compensated personal absences such as holidays, vacations, and sick leave shall be included in the normal work week for purposes of computing uncompensated overtime hours.

(b)(1) Whenever there is uncompensated overtime, the adjusted hourly rate (including uncompensated overtime), rather than the hourly rate, shall be applied to all proposed hours, whether regular or overtime hours. (2) All proposed labor hours subject to the adjusted hourly rate (including uncompensated overtime) shall be identified as either regular or overtime hours, by labor categories, and described at the same level of detail. This is applicable to all proposals whether the labor hours are at the prime or subcontract level. This includes uncompensated overtime hours that are in indirect cost pools for personnel whose regular hours are normally charged direct.

(c) The offeror's accounting practices used to estimate uncompensated overtime must be consistent with its cost accounting practices used to accumulate and report uncompensated overtime hours.

(d) Proposals that include unrealistically low labor rates, or that do not otherwise demonstrate cost realism, will be considered in a risk assessment and will be evaluated for award in accordance with that assessment.

(e) The offeror shall include a copy of its policy addressing uncompensated overtime with its proposal.

(End of clause)

The offeror shall demonstrate relevant past performance or affirmatively state that it possesses no relevant past performance. Relevant past performance is performance under contracts or efforts within the past five years that is of similar scope, magnitude, and complexity of the work described by this solicitation.

To demonstrate its past performance, the offeror shall identify up to FIVE (5) of its most relevant contracts or efforts within the past five (5) years, and provide any other information the offeror considers relevant to the requirements of the solicitation. Offerors should provide a detailed explanation demonstrating the relevance of the contracts or efforts to the requirements of the solicitation. The Government recognizes that offerors may not have past performance that is the same as, or similar to, the scope, magnitude, and complexity described in the solicitation. Therefore, the degree to which the offeror's past performance is determined to be relevant will increase as the scope, magnitude, and complexity of the offeror's past performance under its cited contract/efforts increases. If subcontractor past performance is provided as part of the FIVE (5) of its most relevant contracts or efforts, the subcontractor past performance will be given weight relative to the scope, magnitude and complexity of the aspects of the work under the solicitation that the subcontractor is proposed to perform. Therefore, the offeror’s proposal should detail clearly the aspects of the work in the solicitation that the subcontractor is proposed to perform.

The offeror should complete a “Past Performance Information Form” for each reference submitted. The form is an attachment to the solicitation. The forms will count toward the Volume I page limit described above. For additional information regarding a particular reference beyond that which will fit on the form, the offeror may continue onto additional sheets of paper. Such continuation sheet(s) for submitted references will count toward the Volume I page limit. Only a single set of up to five references shall be submitted.

The Past Performance evaluation will result in a past performance confidence assessment.

The offeror should address its past performance in complying with requirements of the clauses at FAR 52.219-8, "Utilization of Small Business Concerns," and 52.219-9, "Small Business Subcontracting Plan."

(c) Socio-Economic Plan

The offeror shall address the extent of participation of small businesses, small disadvantaged businesses, women-owned small businesses, historically black colleges or universities and minority institutions, veteran-owned small businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, and HUBZone small businesses in performance of any resultant contract. The solicitation, however, does not require participation by such entities. The offeror shall provide targets, expressed as percentages of total contract value, for small businesses, small disadvantaged businesses, women-owned small businesses, historically black colleges or universities and minority institutions, veteran-owned small businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, and HUBZone small businesses in any of the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Major Groups as determined by the Department of Commerce. The targets may provide for participation by a prime contractor, joint venture partner, teaming arrangement member, or subcontractor. Targets will be incorporated into and become part of any resultant contract.

If the offeror fails to provide targets for the contract and/or any of the seven socio-economic factors, the offeror's proposal will be evaluated at zero percent and/or zero dollars for the contract and/or any socio-economic factor for which a target is not provided. However, an offeror that provides no socio-economic plan in response to this factor may be considered ineligible for award.

Note: The Socio-Economic Plan is a non-cost evaluation factor and is separate and distinct from the requirement, set forth elsewhere in the solicitation, for the offeror to submit a “Small Business Subcontracting Plan.” The Small Business Subcontracting Plan is a matter of contractor responsibility and is not a component of the comparative evaluation of proposals.

(2) Volume II –Cost

Volume II, “Cost Proposal,” is not page limited.

Each page of each copy of Volume II should include the following legend:

Source Selection Information - See FAR 2.101 and 3.104

The Cost Proposal in Volume II shall include the solicitation pricing pages completed by the offeror and a complete and detailed breakdown of the offeror’s cost plus fixed fee (CPFF) with all supporting documentation. The cost proposal shall be based upon the Government’s estimated level of effort and labor categories as specified in Section B of the solicitation. The offeror’s cost proposal shall not deviate from the level of effort set forth in Section B of the solicitation. The cost proposal shall include all elements of cost and such other cost information as considered appropriate to support the offeror’s proposal. The burden of proof for establishing the realism of all proposed costs rests with the offeror. The cost and pricing information shall be completed in accordance with the following:

(a) Separate cost and pricing information should be submitted for each time period specified in the Solicitation Section B – Supplies or Services and Prices.

(b) Supporting data including labor rates and hours, burden rates, material lists and costs, travel charges, and “other direct costs” used in developing the cost breakdown should be furnished. The supporting data for “other direct costs” shall include an itemization of those costs and an explanation and justification for each cost so itemized.

N0018918RZ008

of 121

(c) Uncompensated Overtime. Offerors shall clearly state whether they are proposing on the basis of uncompensated overtime. Uncompensated overtime is not encouraged as work schedules averaging more than 40 hours per week can, over a period of time, lead to degradation of performance. Accordingly, a proposed approach to performance that relies on individual work schedules in excess of an average 40 hours per week for any contractor or subcontractor employees may, in the evaluation process, be viewed as creating risk of unsuccessful performance. Pursuant to FAR 52.237-10, “Identification of Uncompensated Overtime,” offerors are reminded (1) “Whenever there is uncompensated overtime, the adjusted hourly rate (including uncompensated overtime), rather than the hourly rate, shall be applied to all proposed hours, whether regular or overtime hours”, (2) “All proposed labor hours subject to the adjusted hourly rate (including uncompensated overtime) shall be identified as either regular or overtime hours, by labor categories, and described at the same level of detail. This is applicable to all proposals whether the labor hours are at the prime or subcontract level. This includes uncompensated overtime hours that are in indirect cost pools for personnel whose regular hours are normally charged direct.” In that 52.237-10 requires that the offeror’s accounting practices used to estimate uncompensated overtime be consistent with the offeror’s cost accounting practices used to accumulate and report uncompensated overtime hours, each offeror proposing on the basis of uncompensated overtime should provide evidence of that consistency. Also, pursuant to FAR 52.237-10, each offeror proposing on the basis of uncompensated overtime is required to include a copy of its policy addressing uncompensated overtime with its proposal. To the extent that an offeror is proposing on the basis of uncompensated overtime, the offeror shall explain why the use of uncompensated overtime will not degrade the level of technical expertise required to fulfill the Government’s requirements.

(d) Direct Labor Rates. In order to verify the realism of the offeror's proposed direct labor rates, all offerors should submit, as part of their Cost Proposal, documentation substantiating the accuracy of their proposed direct labor rates. To the extent that an Offeror is proposing a subcontractor on a cost-reimbursement basis, the documentation substantiating the accuracy of the subcontractor’s proposed direct labor rates should also be submitted. Acceptable documentation may include the following:

(1) Payroll data (if proposing current, named employees)(2) Actual billing records showing direct labor rates (if proposing current, named employees).(3) Copies of signed Letters of Intent that indicate agreed upon annual salary (if proposing named,

new hires).(4) Copies of current or prior fiscal year DCMA Forward Pricing Rate Agreement (FPRA), the

offeror’s Forward Pricing Rate Submission (FPRS), Provisional Billing Rate Approval or Provisional Billing Rate Submission, whichever is most recent.

(5) If labor category averages are used as consistent with the offeror's accounting practice and approved by DCAA, provide a detailed narrative and include the calculation used to establish the category average. For example, provide a list of the current salaries for all employees working in that labor category, divided by the number of current employees in that labor category.

(6) If proposing rates that do not fall within one of the above criteria, provide a detailed,comprehensive description of the methodology used to establish the proposed direct rate. The description shall include both the source where the rate was obtained and a description of how the resulting rate was calculated. Merely stating that a "salary survey" or "market survey" was used may not be sufficient.

In addition to the foregoing, the offeror should explain why it believes its proposed direct labor rates are realistic for the requirements to be performed, considering the technical and experiential qualifications necessary to accomplish the taskings.

In accordance with FAR 52.222-46 “Evaluation of Compensation for Professional Employees,” Offerors shall submit a total compensation plan setting forth salaries and fringe benefits proposed for the professional employees who will work under the Contract, including first-tier subcontractor employees. Supporting information should include data such as recognized national and regional compensation surveys and studies of professional, public and private organizations used in establishing the total compensation structure. The compensation levels proposed should reflect a clear understanding of work to be performed and should indicate the capability of the proposed compensation structure to obtain and keep suitably qualified personnel to meet mission objectives. The salary rates or ranges must take into account differences in skills, the complexity of various disciplines, and professional job difficulties. Offerors are cautioned that lower compensation for essentially the same professional work may indicate

N0018918RZ008

of 121

lack of sound management judgment and lack of understanding of the requirement. Professional compensation that is unrealistically low or not in reasonable relationship to the various job categories may impair the Contractor’s ability to attract and retain professional service employees, and thus, may be viewed as evidence of failure to comprehend the complexities of the contract requirements. Failure to comply with these provisions may constitute sufficient cause to justify rejection of a proposal.

(e) Indirect Costs. In order to verify the realism of the Offeror’s proposed indirect rates, all Offerors should submit, as part of their Cost Proposal, documentation substantiating the accuracy of its proposed indirect rates. To the extent that an Offeror is proposing a subcontractor on a cost-reimbursement basis, the documentation substantiating the accuracy of the subcontractor’s proposed indirect rates should also be submitted. Acceptable documentation may include the following:

(1) Copies of the most current DCMA FPRA, FPRS, or DCAA audit of the offeror's indirect rates.

(2) If the most current FPRA, FPRR or DCAA audit of the offeror's indirect rates are not available, historical indirect data, to include provisional rates, actual incurred rates, and annual incurred cost claims (if submitted), shall be provided for the three years prior to the Offeror's current fiscal year. This data should include the all of the Offeror's indirect rates as applicable to the Offeror's accounting system. If proposing indirect rates significantly different from recent incurred rates, Offerors shall include a detailed explanation and supporting cost data (including budget information).

If the offeror is proposing subcontracts on other than a CPFF basis, the offeror should submit information as to whether the rates for the subcontractors are fixed based on a firm bilateral agreement with the subcontractor or merely proposed. In addition, the offeror shall explain why it believes the subcontractor can perform at those rates.

(f) For proposal purposes, the following ratios of Contractor facility and Government facility labor performance are established for all labor categories:

Contractor Facility Government Facility 90% 10%

(g) Reserved

(h) The offeror shall use the following estimated costs for travel and material amounts in preparing its cost proposal. These estimated amounts will be used as common evaluation amounts in all offerors’ proposals; the amounts specified below include no associated indirect costs. The offeror shall include the estimated travel and materials costs specified below in its cost proposal, and load the costs appropriately with indirect costs. The estimated amounts below, plus indirect costs, as determined cost realistic by the Government, will be used in the evaluation of proposals, and will be included in resultant contracts as “not-to exceed” amounts under which the offeror will be permitted to invoice its actual costs.

Ordering Period Summary: Travel Material Year 1: 05/01/2019 to 04/30/2020 $6,000,000 $144,000Year 2: 05/01/2020 to 04/30/2021 $6,000,000 $144,000Year 3: 05/01/2021 to 04/30/2022 $6,000,000 $144,000Year 4: 05/01/2022 to 04/30/2023 $6,000,000 $144,000Year 5: 05/01/2023 to 04/30/2024 $6,000,000 $144,0006 Mos Option: 05/01/2024 to 04/30/2024 $3,000,000 $ 72,000

Section M - Evaluation Factors for Award


52.217-5 Evaluation Of Options JUL 1990

EVALUATION CRITERIA AND THE BASIS FOR AWARD

(1) Proposals will be evaluated in accordance with the instructions set forth in Section L as well as the evaluation criteria contained in this section. The Government intends to award a contract or contracts resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror(s) whose proposal(s) represent the best value after evaluation in accordance with the factors in the solicitation. The offeror’s proposal shall be in the form prescribed by, and shall contain a response to each of the areas identified in the Section L solicitation provision entitled “Submission of Proposals”. The evaluation of proposals will consider the offeror’s non-cost/price proposal more important than the offeror’s cost/price proposal. The Government reserves the right to award the contract or contracts to other than the offeror(s) with the lowest evaluated CPFF.

The Government reserves the right to make multiple awards.

(2) The Non-cost evaluation factors are listed below descending order of importance, with Performance Approach being more important Management Approach, Management Approach being more important than Past Performance, and Past Performance being significantly more important than Socio-economic Plan.

Performance ApproachManagement ApproachPast PerformanceSocio-economic Plan

In considering the relevance of an offeror’s past performance, the past performance references provided by the offeror will be evaluated individually and in the aggregate. If subcontractor past performance is provided as part of the FIVE of its most relevant contracts or efforts, the subcontractor past performance will be given weight relative to the scope, magnitude and complexity of the aspects of the work under the solicitation for which the subcontractor is proposed. The Government reserves the right to obtain information for use in the evaluation of past performance from any and all sources including sources outside of the Government. When an offeror is determined to have relevant past performance, the quality of its relevant past performance will be evaluated. Offerors lacking relevant past performance history will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably under the Past Performance factor. However, the proposal of an offeror with no relevant past performance history, while not rated favorably or unfavorably for past performance, may not represent the most advantageous proposal to the Government and, thus, may be an unsuccessful proposal when compared to the proposals of other offerors. The evaluation of Past Performance is separate and distinct from the Contracting Officer’s responsibility determination. The assessment of the offeror’s past performance will be used as a means of evaluating how capable the offeror is of successfully accomplishing the requirements of the solicitation. In determining the rating for the Past Performance evaluation factor, the Government will give greater weight to the contracts or efforts which are determined to have greater relevance to the solicitation. An offeror whose past performance demonstrates either a low expectation or no expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort will be considered ineligible for award

For all non-cost factors (other than Past Performance), an offeror’s proposal must be determined to be Acceptable or better in order to be eligible for award. Marginal is a less-than-acceptable rating. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror’s initial offer should contain the offeror’s best terms from a price and non-price standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later it is determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary.

N0018918RZ008

of 121

(3) Cost Proposal

The cost proposal shall be based upon the government’s estimated level of effort and labor categories in Section B of the solicitation.

CPFF Costs will be evaluated on the basis of cost realism. Cost realism pertains to the offeror’s ability to project costs which are realistic. The cost realism analysis will be used to determine the probable cost of performance. The probable cost of performance represents the Government’s best estimate of the cost of any contract that is likely to result from an offeror’s proposal and may differ from the proposed cost. The probable cost, determined through the cost realism analysis will be used for purposes of the best value analysis. The government will also evaluate for fair and reasonable pricing. The method or methods of cost and price analysis to be used is at the discretion of the Contracting Officer.

COST LIMITATION CEILINGS ON INDIRECT RATES

If an offeror proposes cost limitation ceilings on indirect rates, the offeror is advised that the Government may evaluate the offeror’s cost proposal accordingly. The decision to propose cost limitations is the offeror’s decision. In the event that the offeror proposes indirect rate limitations, these same ceiling rate limitations may be incorporated into any resultant contract without discussion. Under any resultant cost reimbursement contract, the indirect rates billed shall be limited to the ceiling rate(s) identified in the contract. Any costs incurred above the ceiling rates are not allowable.

The evaluation of the offeror’s proposed Compensation for Professional Employees will be performed in accordance with FAR52.222.46. The Government will evaluate the offeror’s total compensation plan for professional employees employed under the contract, including first-tier subcontractor employees, to assure that it reflects a sound management approach and understanding of the contract requirements. This evaluation will include an assessment of the offeror’s ability to provide uninterrupted high-quality work. The professional compensation proposed will be considered in terms of its impact upon recruiting and retention, its realism, and its consistency with a total plan for compensation. Additionally, proposals envisioning professional employee compensation levels lower than those of predecessor contractors for the same work will be evaluated on the basis of maintaining program continuity, uninterrupted high-quality work, and availability of required competent professional service employees. Professional compensation that is unrealistically low or not in reasonable relationship to the various job categories, may impair the Contractor’s ability to attract and retain competent professional service employees, and thus, may be viewed as evidence of failure to comprehend the complexity of the contract requirements. To the extent that an offeror’s proposed Compensation for Professional Employees is evaluated as presenting a high risk to successful performance, the offeror’s proposal will be considered unawardable.

Pursuant to FAR 37.115, the use of uncompensated overtime is not encouraged by the Government and may present a risk to contract performance. The use of uncompensated overtime may result in unrealistically low labor rates and quality or service shortfalls and may degrade the level of technical expertise required to fulfill the Government's requirements. Proposals submitted that are based on the use of uncompensated overtime will be evaluated to ensure that the use of uncompensated overtime will not degrade the level of technical expertise required to fulfill the Government’s requirements.

Offerors shall comply with FAR 52.237-10 Identification of Uncompensated Overtime (MAR 2015), which is incorporated into the solicitation. All proposed labor hours subject to the adjusted hourly rate (including uncompensated overtime) shall be identified as either regular or overtime hours, by labor categories, and described at the same level of detail. This is applicable to all proposals whether the labor hours are at the prime or subcontract level. This includes uncompensated overtime hours that are in indirect cost pools for personnel whose regular hours are normally charged direct. The offeror shall include a copy of its policy addressing uncompensated overtime with its proposal. The offeror's accounting practices used to estimate uncompensated overtime must be consistent with its cost accounting practices used to accumulate and report uncompensated overtime hours. Each offeror

N0018918RZ008

of 121

proposing on the basis of uncompensated overtime shall explain how its accounting practices used to estimate uncompensated overtime are consistent with its cost accounting practices used to accumulate and report uncompensated overtime. Each offeror proposing on the basis of uncompensated overtime is required to explain why the use of uncompensated overtime will not degrade the level of technical expertise or cause quality or service shortfalls in fulfilling the Government’s requirements.

For the purpose of preparing a cost proposal, the offeror shall assume that the basic ordering/period of performance shall be from 01 May 2019 through 30 April 2024 with a single six month option period pursuant to FAR clause 52.217-8 encompassing 01 May 2024 through 31 October 2024.

The Government has estimated travel and material costs as specified below:

Ordering Period Summary: Travel Material Year 1: 05/01/2019 to 04/30/2020 $6,000,000 $144,000Year 2: 05/01/2020 to 04/30/2021 $6,000,000 $144,000Year 3: 05/01/2021 to 04/30/2022 $6,000,000 $144,000Year 4: 05/01/2022 to 04/30/2023 $6,000,000 $144,000Year 5: 05/01/2023 to 04/30/2024 $6,000,000 $144,0006 Mos Option: 05/01/2024 to 04/30/2024 $3,000,000 $ 72,000

The Government’s estimated travel and material costs (plus applicable burden) will be used for the purpose of evaluating the cost proposal. Application of material handling charges and/or G&A rates, as appropriate, will be allowed only if the contractor maintains separate accounts for such costs and will be in addition to the common evaluation amounts.
