- MEMF Communications Checklists SGT Trailer Checklists VMF Trailer Checklist VMF Tractor Maintenance Part 2 VMF Tractor Maintenance Part 1 VMF Vehicle Maintenance Checklist Part 2 VMF Vehicle Maintenance Checklist Part 1 OST Facility The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) National Nuclear Security Administration Office of Secure Transportation (OST) seeks small businesses, small business-led teams, and joint ventures that qualify as small business capable of performing operations of vehicle maintenance facility and mobile electronic maintenance facility and facility/ground maintenance and janitorial services. The mission of OST is the safe, secure transportation of nuclear assets and special nuclear materials. The vehicles used are specially modified to meet these mission requirements and must be kept in superior mechanical and operational condition to assure that they are capable of sustained CONUS interstate convoy operations. This sources sought announcement is intended to determine whether this acquisition is appropriate for a Small Business Set-Aside. It is anticipated the contract will be a Performance Based Firm Fixed Price (FFP)/Cost Reimbursable (CR), Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) type contract. The total term of the contract is anticipated to be five years. The place of performance is located near Oak Ridge, Tennessee at the Agent Operation's Eastern Command (AOEC). AOEC is one of four VMF/MEMFs located in various locations within the continental United States. The AOEC VMF/MEMF at any given time has approximately 100-130 vehicles and trailers permanently assigned to the facility, but may at any time be required to perform maintenance on vehicles traveling through their facility from other VMF/MEMFs as necessary. DOE is seeking qualified and capable small business sources for the possibility of a future support service contract. The IDIQ general performance work statement (PWS) would consist of the following general requirements: 1. Provide all onsite program management necessary to meet all task requirements. 2. Provide all supervision, personnel, equipment, tools, specialized tools, special test equipment (STE), materials and parts inventory necessary for the operation of the VMF, MEMF and Facility Maintenance. 3. Facility Maintenance including facility infrastructure, mechanical systems, janitorial, roads and grounds maintenance, and ancillary repair and alterations not to exceed $10,000 per project. 4. Operations of the VMF and the MEMF including routine maintenance and emergency (discrepancy) repairs to the OST vehicle fleet. Contractor is responsible for maintaining complete federal maintenance and property records for each vehicle/trailer. The contractor is responsible for on-site fuel management, fuel reporting, and the management for the fuel charge card and fob system. The facility maintenance encompasses providing building and mechanical systems maintenance to multiple freestanding structures with approximately 100,000 square feet of air conditioned space for approximately 225 federal and contractor employees. Prospective contractor will provide preventive and corrective maintenance on all building systems which include heating ventilation air-conditioning, fire suppression, electrical, and plumbing systems, janitorial services which includes, but not limited to cleaning office spaces, empting trash receptacles and cleaning restrooms, and shower areas. Grounds maintenance services include grass cutting, edging, mulching, maintaining irrigation systems, snow and ice removal for approximately 26 acres. Provide logistics support, shipping and receiving services with security screening capability compliant to NAP 70. Ancillary repair and alterations capability may also be required. Administrative responsibilities will include mailroom and logistics support, acquisition of parts, materials, equipment and supplies for VMF/MEMF and facility maintenance; materials management/inventory control, warehousing, and management of onsite fueling facility. Accountability and disposition of federal property to support VMF/MEMF and facility maintenance tasks. Provide Environmental Safety and Health (ES&H) and Hazardous Material (HAZMAT) management and compliance in the OST facilities and VMF/MEMF operations. Vehicle maintenance and vehicle communications equipment repair is performed on a graded approach process, with certain levels of maintenance performed using the two and three person control concept. Vehicle and Mobile Electronic Communications Maintenance is held to standards that are set by Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS 140-2) and DOE M 205.1-3 (Telecommunications Security Manual). Some procedures performed are classified, need to know. There are also technical safety requirements that are more stringent than found in DOT or commercial operations. ASE certified (or equivalent) mechanical support is highly recommended. MEMF communications personnel must hold and maintain FCC Licensure. The VMF/MEMF operation encompasses providing mechanical and electrical maintenance to OST fleet vehicles. The vehicles are categorized as operational and non-operational vehicles. Operational vehicles are held to more strenuous maintenance service program. Operational vehicles must go through the equivalent of a Department of Transportation (DOT) annual inspection before every convoy trip. Operational vehicles have numerous maintenance requirements that far exceed the manufacturers recommended maintenance schedule. Examples of maintenance check lists are included as attachments to this sources sought document. Communication and Vehicle technicians must come to the job certified to perform work on these specific vehicle systems and must maintain a high level of mechanical and/or electronics craft knowledge. New procedures, training and continual quality evolution to accommodate the ever-changing technologies require the mechanical and electronic technicians associated with VMF/MEMFs to maintain a continuous learning posture. Operational vehicles as well as non-operational vehicles are equipped with Detroit Diesel, Ford or GMC diesel engines and Allison or Dura-Max transmissions. OST operational vehicles have diesel engines and include, but are not limited to, specialized class 8 over the road tractors, specialized trailers, specialized various heavy duty and medium duty trucks and vans. Many of the vehicles are four-wheel drive and include aftermarket modifications. Included in the scope of work will be limited responsibilities for the OST GSA fleet assigned to AOEC. GSA vehicle maintenance is primarily performed through GSA approved commercial vendors, however there are situations that will require the VMF to perform minor mechanical maintenance or ferry vehicles to the GSA maintenance facilities to support mission schedules. The GSA vehicles are primarily gasoline engines and consist primarily of light duty truck and SUV platforms. Non-operational vehicles are primarily retired operational vehicles which upon decommission become part of the mission support fleet. These vehicles are diesel and include, but are not limited to, specialized class 8 over the road tractors, specialized trailers, specialized various heavy duty and medium duty trucks and vans. Due to the nature of the NNSA-OST mission and the technical and tactical requirements of contractors working on these vehicles and in other capacities associated with the VMF-MEMF activities, contractor personnel are required to hold up to a DOE ‘L' or ‘Q' clearance depending on job function. Some positions will also be required to participate in NNSA-OST Human Reliability Programs (HRP). The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is 811118, with the small business size standard for this classification is $7,000,000.
