8 6 of 79 SECTION C DESCRIPTIONS AND SPECIFICATIONS C.1.0 INTRODUCTION SECTION C DESCRIPTIONS AND SPECIFICATIONS Performance Work Statement C.1.1 This is a performance-based acquisition and is structured around the results to be achieved as opposed to the manner by which the work is to be performed. The quality and effectiveness of the services performed hereunder will be evaluated in accordance with the performance standards/acceptance quality and the evaluation methods described in Section H, Special Contract Requirements, and Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP). C.1.2 The Contractor shall provide the personnel and material, necessary to accomplish task assignments within the work areas described in the SCOPE OF WORK. C.1.3 SCOPE The Contractor shall provide technical and non-technical support to NSWCDD as they and their partners support the global DoD forensics requirements. These requirements will support both CONUS and OCONUS in the work areas listed in this PWS. Every work area will not be employed at every location. C.1.4 Background Joint Expeditionary Forensics Facilities (JEFF) originated in IRAQ where NCIS had established the Law EnForcement Lab (LEFL) and USMC had established the Joint Prosecution and Exploitation Center (JPEC) to perform biometric functions. In August 2006 Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (VCJCS) directed that a Quick Turn Capabilities Based Assessment (QT-CBA) team to identify capability gaps for the IRAQ Theater of operations. The Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) subsequently approved the results and directed funding to address the capability gap for forensics, Gap 18 which turned into CC-0277 released January In 2007, NSWCDD was assigned as the Technical Direction Agent for Joint Expeditionary Forensics. NSWCDD engaged engineers, communications, program managers, and logisticians to design, develop, and deploy the JEFF labs. NSWCDD established a sustainable mobile expeditionary forensics solution, which was first deployed in February 2008, replacing the LEFL and JPEC. In total 6(six) JEFF labs were deployed to IRAQ. In September 2009 CC-0365 was released, expanding the JEFF labs into Afghanistan where 3(three) labs were deployed. In September 20, all JEFF labs in IRAQ were closed and Operational Control (OPCON) for the Afghanistan JEFF labs were transitioned to the Army. NSWCDD has remained engaged in the forensics and biometrics needs within DoD and has remained a partner with the Army in the operations of the Afghanistan forensics labs. Battlefield forensics and biometrics has become an essential tool for forward deployed forces and NSWCDD will remain engaged in support of the DoD global forensics requirements. The Defense Forensics Scientific Center (DFSC) within the Army is the Executive Agent for all DoD forensics. The DFSC maintains deployable labs called Expeditionary Forensics Labs (EFLs). These labs are deployed to locations throughout the globe to include Afghanistan. In Afghanistan the EFL s fall under the military command of the Combined Joint Task Force (CJTF) PALADIN. The labs in Afghanistan are integrated EFLs and Combined Explosive Exploitation Cells (CEXC labs, with Navy JEFF personnel augmentation. CJTF PALADIN has renamed these labs within Afghanistan only to be Afghanistan Captured Materials Exploitation (ACME) labs. The Navy capability will remain as JEFFs. JEFF personnel will continue to augment the DFSC EFLs and CJTF PALADIN s ACME s. C.2 WORK AREAS C2.1 WORK AREA 1 - Program Management and Technical Support C2.1.1 The Contractor shall provide programmatic support to include development of program plans (CDRL A001), schedules, attendance at and provision of oral briefings, development of implementation plans (CDRL A002) and other written documents that describe planned, ongoing or future operations or tasks related to future forensic capabilities required to support DOD mission objectives.
