The proposed effort is intended to be a Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. The Draft Performance Work Statement (PWS) has been revised as follows: Domain Structure: The PWS has been structured into two domains: Domain 1 (PWS Section C.3.0) addresses the majority of the CLS fielding and sustainment services included in the previous RFI. An additional section for acquisition logistics services has been added as Domain 2 (PWS Section C.4.0). Training: Expanded training section in Domain 1 (PWS paragraph C.3.2.2.7) and Domain 2 (PWS paragraph C.4.3) to add a holistic approach to training product development, revisions and related support services Maintenance: Added depot-level maintenance (paragraph C.1.0 and C.3.2.1.1.9) The JPEO-CBRND's mission is to protect the Joint Force from weapons of mass destruction by generating affordable capabilities to protect against weapons of mass destruction. The JPEO-CBRND works side-by-side with the Department of Homeland Security and other agencies in the on-going effort to guard against the chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) threats via a resilient Joint Force enabled to fight and win unencumbered in a chemical, biological, radiological and/or nuclear environment. The JPEO-CBRND, Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD, is conducting market research to determine qualified and interested parties to better define an industrial base availability. The purpose of this effort is to obtain Contractor Logistics Support (CLS), to include, but not limited to, Performance Based Logistics (PBL), for highly complex, low-density systems for detection, mounted and dismounted reconnaissance, individual and collective protection, decontamination, and force protection against CBRNE threats for the United States Military (active and reserve components, partnering organizations operating in the Continental United States (CONUS) and Outside CONUS (OCONUS) to include, but not limited to: Europe, Korea, Hawaii, Alaska, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Qatar, Jordan and other Southwest Asia locations. CLS will be required during peacetime and contingency operations. Systems covered under this support contract may include, but are not limited to: the Joint Biological Tactical Detection System (JBTDS); Joint Portal Shield (JPS); Joint Nuclear Biological Chemical Reconnaissance System Increment 2 (JNBCRS2); Analytical Laboratory Systems (ALS); Non-Intrusive Inspection Systems (NIIS); Entry Control Points (ECP); and the Nuclear, Biological, Chemical Reconnaissance Vehicle Sensor Suite: Joint Service Lightweight Standoff Chemical Agent Detector (JSLSCAD), Chemical Biological Mass Spectrometer (CBMS) II; Nuclear, Biological, Chemical Reconnaissance Vehicle (NBCRV) Nuclear, Biological, Chemical Sensor Suite; Chemical Vapor Sampling System (CVSS); Next Generation Diagnostic System (NGDS), Uniform Integrated Protective Ensemble (UIPE, Increment II), Screening Obscuration Module, Man-Portable Radiological Detection System, Joint Personal Dosimeter, Joint Expeditionary Collective Protection, General Purpose Decontaminant, Decontamination Family of Systems, and Contaminated Human Remains Pouch, as well as CBRN Family of Systems and CBRN or CBRNE response equipment. Additional unforeseen systems and equipment not listed above, that fall within the JPEO-CBRND's mission and require CLS, may be supported by this contract. Contractors under this multiple award IDIQ shall be responsible for providing supportability planning, and maintaining (to include depot maintenance support) system and equipment operational readiness at all locations. The Performance Work Statement for CLS/PBL services is structured into two domains to support the JPEO-CBRND Enterprise. Contractors shall support and sustain systems, subsystems, equipment sets, kits, outfits and associated items of equipment and develop and revise training products in Domain 1 or provide acquisition logistics services in Domain 2. Domain 2 is intended to obtain contractor support services to address the following principal objectives: (1) ensure support considerations are an integral part of the system's design requirements; (2) the system can be cost effectively supported throughout its life-cycle; and (3) the Product Support elements necessary for the initial fielding and operational support of the system are identified, developed and acquired. For the purposes of this contract, CLS services include, but are not limited to, sustainment and acquisition logistics support functions in the following areas: Domain 1: Supportability Services; Maintenance Support; Engineering Support; Supply Chain Management and Support; Training Product Development and Support (holistic training development using state of the art platforms and technologies across multiple domains -- maritime, land, air, cyberspace and space); Fielding Support; Program Management, Administration and Reporting; Quality; Security; and Environmental, Safety and Occupational Health (ESOH); and .Domain 2: Acquisition Logistics Services, Supportability/Sustainability Support, Training Product Development and Support, Program Management, Administration and Reporting; Quality Assurance; Security; and ESOH. Contractors shall be responsible for obtaining all required security clearances, country clearances, visas, work permits, installation access, and Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) licenses to deliver support and maintain system operational readiness at all locations, to include military and non-military locations. Program Management requires development and execution of a detailed program plan for interdependent multiple systems and equipment which describes the overarching program strategy and ensures the contract, schedule, and cost objectives are met. The estimated ordering period for the multiple award IDIQ is 8 years from date of award with an additional 3 years to complete any order placed at the end of the 8 years. The effort is unclassified; however, Contractors shall be required to, under several task orders, have access to, receive and generate classified information and have access to secure Government Information Systems, buildings or facilities. A contractor may be required to have a facility security clearance. Contractor employees may be required to have or be eligible to obtain a SECRET, PUBLIC TRUST, or TOP SECRET security clearance from the Defense Industrial Security Clearance Office. Contractors shall provide a Logistics Information System (LIS) for the Government to monitor and track all maintenance actions in real time. Contractors shall furnish all necessary services, personnel, hardware, software, facilities, information and supplies (except Government Furnished Property) as required to support the systems, equipment and logistics services.
