The SP will also have the additional responsibility for scheduling and tracking training opportunities for each Information Technology employee. This position is located in Boston, Massachusetts. 2. About DCMA The Defense Contract Management Agency is the Department of Defense (DoD) agency responsible for working with the Defense industry to help ensure that systems, supplies and services are delivered on time, at projected costs and meet performance requirements. This involves managing 320,000 prime contracts with current work valued at $850 billion. DCMA is headquartered in Fairfax County, Virginia (with a mailing address of Alexandria, VA), and employs over 11,000 civilian and military professionals worldwide. The agency is organized into three Districts: East, headquartered in Boston, MA; West, headquartered in Carson, CA; and International, which is co-located with the agency headquarters. The districts are further subdivided into 60 Contract Management Offices (CMOs) that work with Defense industry contractors at over 900 locations worldwide. 3. Work to be performed Task 1 ?

Effectively schedule and coordinate training. Execute 95% of the FY training plan. Maintain accurate records. Maintain 95% accuracy of training records of all Information Technology personnel training completions. 5. Periodic Adjustments of Performance Standards: In its experience with other performance-based instruments, DCMA has found it not only advisable but necessary to adjust performance standards periodically. That is because particular written expressions of performance standards sometime inadvertently motivate services provider behaviors that act against achievement of the desired performance objectives. Having learned that lesson, DCMA intends to apply it to this PBSO. Accordingly, DCMA reserves the right to adjust any or all performance standards in this PBSO, up to and including the addition of entirely new performance standards and complete substitutions of new performance standards for those already existing in this PBSO or as may have been included by subsequent modifications of this document, at any time at the DCMA Information Technology Customer Service Organization?s (ITCSO?s) discretion?subject, of course, to the stipulations in the ?Changes? clause of any resulting contract. DCMA, however, does not plan to make any such adjustments more often than once each calendar quarter and in fact would prefer not to make them any more frequently than once each calendar year. 6. Period of Performance The period of performance shall be one year after contract award with 4 option years. 7. Place of Performance The place of performance shall be Government facilities at DCMAE, 495 Summer Street, Boston, MA 02011. 8. Other Direct Costs Other direct costs (ODCs) must be approved by the Contracting Officer?s Technical Representative (COTR) prior to purchase by the contractor. All required ODCs approved by the DCMA representative will be on a cost reimbursement basis to include the contractor's appropriate overhead and may only be purchased if funding is available on the contract. 9. Travel This is a travel inclusive rate. The expectation is that the contractor shall travel to a major city in the US once a month for three days to monitor training or attend conferences. 10.

Assignment to an ADP II position requires favorable adjudication of a National Agency Check request with Inquiry.
