GS10F0176V NRC-HQ-84-15-T-0001 SECTION C - STATEMENT OF WORK C.1 HEALTH PHYSICS TRAINING This is a non-personal services contract to develop (including E-learning) and present technical training courses, and maintain laboratory equipment.

C.2 BACKGROUND The Nuclear Regulatory Commissions (NRC) mission is to license and regulate the Nations civilian use of radioactive materials to protect public health and safety, promote the common defense and security, and protect the environment. In support of this mission, the NRC Office of the Chief Human Capital Officer (OCHCO) provides a program of training for NRC, Agreement States and other personnel approved to attend NRC training courses.

Health physics technology improvements, equipment specialization, and changing methodologies have increased the need for flexible and specialized training for personnel involved with evaluating and inspecting licensee health physics and radiation protection programs. The NRCs current approach to learning and development is primarily through a traditional classroom delivery model. However, the NRC is changing the current model to incorporate appropriate use of E-learning in blended learning models.

This training is also conducted in support of required training in NRC Inspection Manual Chapters 1245, 1247, 1248 and for the NRCs Nuclear Safety Professional Development Program (NSPDP).

C.3 CONTRACT OBJECTIVES The Contractor shall provide personnel with specific technical expertise and the necessary facilities and materials to conduct various training courses in applied health physics and health physics-related topics to course participants, principally health physicists, radiation safety inspectors and staff that review health physics-related documents, and to assist the NRCs Technical Training Center (TTC). The various training courses will encompass fundamental health physics principles, current radiation safety methodologies, recommended radiation safety practices and related information specifically concerning air sampling, decommissioning, environmental monitoring, internal dosimetry, uranium recovery, fuel cycle, Multi-Agency Radiation Survey and Site Investigation Manual (MARSSIM) and Multi-Agency Radiation Survey and Assessment of Materials and Equipment Manual (MARSAME).

To support the NRCs transformation to blended learning models for training course delivery, an additional purpose of this contract is to develop E-learning modules from courses currently being delivered through the traditional method. These modules will be used in various blended learning courses associated with this contract and to enhance other NRC training courses.

Additionally, the NRC plans to offer certain courses at the TTC that require the availability of laboratory facilities at the TTC. To support the TTCs laboratory and associated training activities in the laboratory, the contractor shall be tasked with setting up laboratory activities for students and with calibrating, repairing and generally maintaining laboratory equipment at the TTC.

Knowledge in the areas identified above is essential to permit the students to competently 8 of 77

GS10F0176V NRC-HQ-84-15-T-0001 evaluate licensee radiation safety practices. The background, education and experience levels of the students may vary significantly. Consequently, the contractor shall vary the course content and associated materials depending on the specific needs of the students.

C.4 SCOPE OF WORK The contractor shall provide all resources necessary to accomplish the tasks and deliverables described in this Statement of Work (SOW) to allow for health physics training which shall include courses in environmental monitoring, air sampling, decommissioning, fuel cycle, applied health physics, MARSSIM, and MARSAME.

The training will also include specialized training in other topics directly related to NRC and Agreement State licensing and inspection responsibilities that will be developed on an as-needed basis. These topics could include radiation physics, radiation biology, radiochemistry, specialized dosimetry, filter testing, counting statistics, and alpha, beta and gamma spectrometry. The training shall provide participants with theoretical knowledge and, where appropriate, the training shall emphasize practical, operational and regulatory aspects of health physics consistent with operations and practices likely to be encountered by NRC and Agreement States staff during performance-based inspections.

The contractor shall provide support in using and maintaining the TTC laboratory. This will include setup of instruments and equipment for laboratory activities during course offerings, providing assistance during the actual lab activities and repairing and calibrating instruments and other equipment (i.e., either repairing and calibrating the items at the TTC or processing the items through an appropriate vendor for repair and/or calibration prior to using them in a course offering.

GS10F0176V NRC-HQ-84-15-T-0001 (2) The contractor may not represent, assist, or otherwise support an NRC licensee or applicant undergoing an NRC audit, inspection, or review where the activities that are the subject of the audit, inspection, or review are the same as or substantially similar to the services within the scope of this contract (or task order as appropriate) except where the NRC licensee or applicant requires the contractor's support to explain or defend the contractor's prior work for the utility or other entity which NRC questions.

(3) When the contractor performs work for the NRC under this contract at any NRC licensee or applicant site, the contractor shall neither solicit nor perform work in the same or similar technical area for that licensee or applicant organization for a period commencing with the award of the task order or beginning of work on the site (if not a task order contract) and ending one year after completion of all work under the associated task order, or last time at the site (if not a task order contract).

The NRC may, however, terminate the contract if termination is in the best interest of the Government.

(3) It is recognized that the scope of work of a task-order-type contract necessarily encompasses a broad spectrum of activities. Consequently, if this is a task-order-type contract, the contractor agrees that it will disclose all proposed new work involving NRC licensees or applicants which comes within the scope of work of the underlying contract. Further, if this contract involves work at a licensee or applicant site, the contractor agrees to exercise diligence to discover and disclose any new work at that licensee or applicant site.

The disclosure must include the statement of work, the dollar value of the proposed contract, and any other documents that are needed to fully describe the proposed work for the regulated utility or other regulated entity. NRC may deny approval of the disclosed work only when the NRC has issued a task order which includes the technical area and, if site-specific, the site, or has plans to issue a task order which includes the technical area and, if site-specific, the site, or when the work violates paragraphs (c)(2), (c)(3) or (c)(4) of this section.

(e) Access to and use of information.

(1) If, in the performance of this contract, the contractor obtains access to information, such as NRC plans, policies, reports, studies, financial plans, internal data protected by the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. Section 552a (1988)), or the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. Section 552 (1986)), the contractor agrees not to:

Section 552a (1988)), or the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. Section 552 (1986)), or other confidential or privileged technical, business, or financial information under this contract, the contractor shall treat the information in accordance with restrictions placed on use of the information.

(g) Remedies. For breach of any of the above restrictions, or for intentional nondisclosure or misrepresentation of any relevant interest required to be disclosed concerning this contract or for such erroneous representations that necessarily imply bad faith, the Government may terminate the contract for default, disqualify the contractor from subsequent contractual efforts, and pursue other remedies permitted by law or this contract.

(h) Waiver. A request for waiver under this clause must be directed in writing to the contracting officer in accordance with the procedures outlined in 48 CFR 2009.570-9.

GS10F0176V NRC-HQ-84-15-T-0001 (i) Follow-on effort. The contractor shall be ineligible to participate in NRC contracts, subcontracts, or proposals therefor (solicited or unsolicited) which stem directly from the contractor's performance of work under this contract. Furthermore, unless so directed in writing by the contracting officer, the contractor may not perform any technical consulting or management support services work or evaluation activities under this contract on any of its products or services or the products or services of another firm if the contractor has been substantially involved in the development or marketing of the products or services.

(1) If the contractor under this contract, prepares a complete or essentially complete statement of work or specifications, the contractor is not eligible to perform or participate in the initial contractual effort which is based on the statement of work or specifications.

(d) If the contracting officer determines that suitable and timely replacement of key personnel who have been reassigned, terminated, or have otherwise become unavailable for the contract work is not reasonably forthcoming, or that the resultant reduction of productive effort would be so substantial as to impair the successful completion of the contract or the service order, the contract may be terminated by the contracting officer for default or for the convenience of the Government, as appropriate. If the contracting officer finds the contractor at fault for the condition, the contract price or fixed fee may be equitably adjusted downward to compensate the Government for any resultant delay, loss, or damage.

Applicable guidance documents include OMB Circular A-87, Cost Principles for State and Local Governments; OMB Circular A-122, Cost Principles for Nonprofit Organizations; and OMB Circular A-21, Cost Principles for Educational Institutions.

H.8 NRCH330 RULES OF BEHAVIOR FOR AUTHORIZED COMPUTER USE In accordance with Appendix III, "Security of Federal Automated Information Resources," to Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-130, "Management of Federal Information Resources," NRC has established rules of behavior for individual users who access all IT computing resources maintained and operated by the NRC or on behalf of the NRC. In response to the direction from OMB, NRC has issued the "Agency-wide Rules of Behavior for Authorized Computer Use" policy, hereafter referred to as the rules of behavior. The rules of behavior for authorized computer use will be provided to NRC computer users, including contractor personnel, as part of the annual computer security awareness course.

The rules of behavior apply to all NRC employees, contractors, vendors, and agents (users) who have access to any system operated by the NRC or by a contractor or outside entity on behalf of the NRC. This policy does not apply to licensees. The next revision of Management Directive 12.5, "NRC Automated Information Security Program," will include this policy. The rules of behavior can be viewed at http://www.internal.nrc.gov/CSO/documents/ROB.pdf or use NRCs external Web-based ADAMS at http://wba.nrc.gov:8080/ves/ (Under Advanced Search, type ML082190730 in the Query box).

The rules of behavior are effective immediately upon acknowledgement of them by the person who is informed of the requirements contained in those rules of behavior. All current contractor users are required to review and acknowledge the rules of behavior as part of the annual computer security awareness course completion. All new NRC contractor personnel will be required to acknowledge the rules of behavior within one week of commencing work under this contract and then acknowledge as current users thereafter. The acknowledgement statement can be viewed at http://www.internal.nrc.gov/CSO/documents/ROB_Ack.pdf or use NRCs external Web-based ADAMS at http://wba.nrc.gov:8080/ves/ (Under Advanced Search, type ML082190730 in the Query box).

The NRC Computer Security Office will review and update the rules of behavior annually beginning in FY 2011 by December 31st of each year. Contractors shall ensure that their personnel to which this requirement applies acknowledge the rules of behavior before beginning contract performance and, if the period of performance for the contract lasts more than one year, annually thereafter. Training on the meaning and purpose of the rules of behavior can be provided for contractors upon written request to the NRC Contracting Officers Representative (COR).

The contractor shall flow down this clause into all subcontracts and other agreements that relate to performance of this contract/order if such subcontracts/agreements will authorize access to NRC electronic and information technology (EIT) as that term is defined in FAR 2.101.

GS10F0176V NRC-HQ-84-15-T-0001 H.9 NRCH430 DRUG FREE WORKPLACE TESTING: UNESCORTED ACCESS TO NUCLEAR FACILITIES, ACCESS TO CLASSIFIED INFORMATION OR SAFEGUARDS INFORMATION, OR PERFORMING IN SPECIALLY SENSITIVE POSITIONS (AUG 2011)

All contractor employees, subcontractor employees, and consultants proposed for performance or performing under this contract shall be subject to pre-assignment, random, reasonable suspicion, and post-accident drug testing applicable to: (1) individuals who require unescorted access to nuclear power plants, (2) individuals who have access to classified or safeguards information, (3) individuals who are required to carry firearms in performing security services for the NRC, (4) individuals who are required to operate government vehicles or transport passengers for the NRC, (5) individuals who are required to operate hazardous equipment at NRC facilities, or (6) individuals who admit to recent illegal drug use or those who are found through other means to be using drugs illegally. The Plan includes a contractor's employees and their subcontractors are subject to the procedures and terms of their employment agreements with their employer.

The NRC Drug Program Manager will schedule the drug testing for all contractor employees, subcontractor employees, and consultants who are subject to testing under this clause. Any NRC contractor found to be using, selling, or possessing illegal drugs, or any contractor with a verified positive drug test result under this program while in a duty status will immediately be removed from working under the NRC contract. The contractor's employer will be notified of the denial or revocation of the individual's authorization to have access to information and ability to perform under the contract. The individual may not work on any NRC contract for a period of not less than one year from the date of the failed drug test and will not be considered for reinstatement unless evidence of rehabilitation, as determined by the NRC "drug testing contractor's" Medical Review Officer, is provided.

Contractor drug testing records are protected under the NRC Privacy Act Systems of Records, System 35, "Drug Testing Program Records - NRC" found at: http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/foia/privacy-systems.html H.10 NRCH020 SECURITY REQUIREMENTS FOR BUILDING ACCESS APPROVAL (SEP 2013)

The Contractor shall ensure that all its employees, subcontractor employees or consultants who are assigned to perform the work herein for contract performance for periods of more than 30 calendar days at NRC facilities, are approved by the NRC for unescorted NRC building access.

The Contractor shall conduct a preliminary federal facilities security screening interview or review for each of its employees, subcontractor employees, and consultants and submit to the NRC only the names of candidates for contract performance that have a reasonable probability of obtaining approval necessary for access to NRC's federal facilities. The Contractor shall pre-screen its applicants for the following:

(a) felony arrest in the last seven (7) years; (b) alcohol related arrest within the last five (5) years; (c) record of any military courts-martial convictions in the past ten (10) years; (d) illegal use of narcotics or other controlled substances possession in the past year, or illegal purchase, production, transfer, or distribution of narcotics or other controlled substances in the last seven (7) years; and (e) delinquency on any federal debts or bankruptcy in the last seven (7) years.

35 of 77

GS10F0176V NRC-HQ-84-15-T-0001 The Contractor shall make a written record of its pre-screening interview or review (including any information to mitigate the responses to items listed in (a) - (e)), and have the applicant verify the pre-screening record or review, sign and date it. Two (2) copies of the pre-screening signed record or review shall be supplied to the Division of Facilities and Security, Personnel Security Branch (DFS/PSB) with the Contractor employee's completed building access application package.

The Contractor shall further ensure that its employees, any subcontractor employees and consultants complete all building access security applications required by this clause within fourteen (14) calendar days of notification by DFS/PSB of initiation of the application process.

Timely receipt of properly completed records of the Contractor's signed pre-screening record or review and building access security applications (submitted for candidates that have a reasonable probability of obtaining the level of access authorization necessary for access to NRC's facilities) is a contract requirement. Failure of the Contractor to comply with this contract administration requirement may be a basis to cancel the award, or terminate the contract for default, or offset from the contract's invoiced cost or price the NRC's incurred costs or delays as a result of inadequate pre-screening by the Contractor. In the event of cancellation or termination, the NRC may select another firm for contract award.

A Contractor, subcontractor employee or consultant shall not have access to NRC facilities until he/she is approved by DFS/PSB. Temporary access may be approved based on a favorable NRC review and discretionary determination of their building access security forms. Final building access will be approved based on favorably adjudicated checks by the Government.

However, temporary access approval will be revoked and the Contractor's employee may subsequently be denied access in the event the employee's investigation cannot be favorably determined by the NRC. Such employee will not be authorized to work under any NRC contract requiring building access without the approval of DFS/PSB. When an individual receives final access, the individual will be subject to a review or reinvestigation every five (5) or ten (10) years, depending on their job responsibilities at the NRC.

The Government shall have and exercise full and complete control and discretion over granting, denying, withholding, or terminating building access approvals for individuals performing work under this contract. Individuals performing work under this contract at NRC facilities for a period of more than 30 calendar days shall be required to complete and submit to the Contractor representative an acceptable OPM Standard Form 85 (Questionnaire for Non-Sensitive Positions), and two (2) FD 258 (Fingerprint Charts). Non-U.S. citizens must provide official documentation to the DFS/PSB, as proof of their legal residency. This documentation can be a Permanent Resident Card, Temporary Work Visa, Employment Authorization Card, or other official documentation issued by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. Any applicant with less than five (5) years residency in the U.S. will not be approved for building access. The Contractor shall submit the documents to the NRC Contracting Officers Representative (COR) who will give them to DFS/PSB.

DFS/PSB may, among other things, grant or deny temporary unescorted building access approval to an individual based upon its review of the information contained in the OPM Standard Form 85 and the Contractor's pre-screening record. Also, in the exercise of its authority, the Government may, among other things, grant or deny permanent building access approval based on the results of its review or investigation. This submittal requirement also applies to the officers of the firm who, for any reason, may visit the NRC work sites for an extended period of time during the term of the contract. In the event that DFS/PSB are unable to grant a temporary or permanent building access approval, to any individual performing work 36 of 77

GS10F0176V NRC-HQ-84-15-T-0001 under this contract, the Contractor is responsible for assigning another individual to perform the necessary function without any delay in the contract's performance schedule, or without adverse impact to any other terms or conditions of the contract. The Contractor is responsible for informing those affected by this procedure of the required building access approval process (i.e., temporary and permanent determinations), and the possibility that individuals may be required to wait until permanent building access approvals are granted before beginning work in NRC's buildings.

CANCELLATION OR TERMINATION OF BUILDING ACCESS/ REQUEST The Contractor shall immediately notify the COR when a Contractor or subcontractor employee or consultant's need for NRC building access approval is withdrawn or the need by the Contractor employee's for building access terminates. The COR will immediately notify DFS/PSB (via e-mail) when a Contractor employee no longer requires building access. The Contractor shall be required to return any NRC issued badges to the COR for return to DFS/FSB (Facilities Security Branch) within three (3) days after their termination.

H.11 NRCH370 SAFETY OF ON-SITE CONTRACTOR PERSONNEL Ensuring the safety of occupants of Federal buildings is a responsibility shared by the professionals implementing our security and safety programs and the persons being protected.

The NRC's Office of Administration (ADM) Division of Facilities and Security (DFS) has coordinated an Occupant Emergency Plan (OEP) for NRC Headquarters buildings with local authorities. The OEP has been approved by the Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service.

It is designed to improve building occupants' chances of survival, minimize damage to property, and promptly account for building occupants when necessary.

The contractor's Project Director shall ensure that all personnel working full time on-site at NRC Headquarters read the NRC's OEP, provided electronically on the NRC Intranet at http://www.internal.nrc.gov/ADM/OEP.pdf. The contractor's Project Director also shall emphasize to each staff member that they are to be familiar with and guided by the OEP, as well as by instructions given by emergency response personnel in situations which pose an immediate health or safety threat to building occupants.

The NRC Contracting Officers Representative (COR) shall ensure that the contractor's Project Director has communicated the requirement for on-site contractor staff to follow the guidance in the OEP. The NRC Contracting Officers Representative (COR) also will assist in accounting for on-site contract persons in the event of a major emergency (e.g., explosion occurs and casualties or injuries are suspected) during which a full evacuation will be required, including the assembly and accountability of occupants. The NRC DFS will conduct drills periodically to train occupants and assess these procedures.

The Contractor shall not be required to comply with the cost accounting standards or contract cost principles for this purpose.

(o) Warranty. The Contractor warrants and implies that the items delivered hereunder are merchantable and fit for use for the particular purpose described in this contract.

(t) System for Award Management (SAM). (1) Unless exempted by an addendum to this contract, the Contractor is responsible during performance and through final payment of any contract for the accuracy and completeness of the data within the SAM database, and for any liability resulting from the Government's reliance on inaccurate or incomplete data. To remain registered in the SAM database after the initial registration, the Contractor is required to review and update on an annual basis from the date of initial registration or subsequent updates its information in the SAM database to ensure it is current, accurate and complete. Updating information in the SAM does not alter the terms and conditions of this contract and is not a substitute for a properly executed contractual document.

(2)(i) If a Contractor has legally changed its business name, "doing business as" name, or division name (whichever is shown on the contract), or has transferred the assets used in performing the contract, but has not completed the necessary requirements regarding novation and change-of-name agreements in FAR subpart 42.12, the Contractor shall provide the responsible Contracting Officer a minimum of one business day's written notification of its intention to (A) change the name in the SAM database; (B) comply with the requirements of subpart 42.12; and (C) agree in writing to the timeline and procedures specified by the responsible Contracting Officer. The Contractor must provide with the notification sufficient documentation to support the legally changed name.

(ii) If the Contractor fails to comply with the requirements of paragraph (t)(2)(i) of this clause, or fails to perform the agreement at paragraph 44 of 77

GS10F0176V NRC-HQ-84-15-T-0001 (t)(2)(i)(C) of this clause, and, in the absence of a properly executed novation or change-of-name agreement, the SAM information that shows the Contractor to be other than the Contractor indicated in the contract will be considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the "Suspension of Payment" paragraph of the electronic funds transfer (EFT) clause of this contract.

(3) The Contractor shall not change the name or address for EFT payments or manual payments, as appropriate, in the SAM record to reflect an assignee for the purpose of assignment of claims (see Subpart 32.8, Assignment of Claims).

Assignees shall be separately registered in the SAM database. Information provided to the Contractor's SAM record that indicates payments, including those made by EFT, to an ultimate recipient other than that Contractor will be considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the "Suspension of payment" paragraph of the EFT clause of this contract.

(4) Offerors and Contractors may obtain information on registration and annual confirmation requirements via SAM accessed through https://www.acquisition.gov.

(u) Unauthorized Obligations. (1) Except as stated in paragraph (u)(2) of this clause, when any supply or service acquired under this contract is subject to any End User License Agreement (EULA), Terms of Service (TOS), or similar legal instrument or agreement, that includes any clause requiring the Government to indemnify the Contractor or any person or entity for damages, costs, fees, or any other loss or liability that would create an Anti-Deficiency Act violation (31 U.S.C. 1341), the following shall govern:

(i) Any such clause is unenforceable against the Government.

(ii) Neither the Government nor any Government authorized end user shall be deemed to have agreed to such clause by virtue of it appearing in the EULA, TOS, or similar legal instrument or agreement. If the EULA, TOS, or similar legal instrument or agreement is invoked through an "I agree" click box or other comparable mechanism (e.g., "click-wrap" or "browse-wrap" agreements), execution does not bind the Government or any Government authorized end user to such clause.

(iii) Any such clause is deemed to be stricken from the EULA, TOS, or similar legal instrument or agreement.

(2) Paragraph (u)(1) of this clause does not apply to indemnification by the Government that is expressly authorized by statute and specifically authorized under applicable agency regulations and procedures.

I.6 NRC1020 COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 508 OF THE REHABILITATION ACT OF 1973, AS AMENDED (SEP 2013)

In 1998, Congress amended the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. §794d) as amended by the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (P.L. 105 - 220), August 7, 1998 to require Federal agencies to make their electronic and information technology (EIT) accessible to people with disabilities. Inaccessible technology interferes with an ability to obtain and use information quickly and easily. Section 508 was enacted to eliminate barriers in information technology, open new opportunities for people with disabilities, and encourage development of technologies that will help achieve these goals. The law applies to all Federal agencies when they develop, procure, maintain, or use electronic and information technology. Under Section 508 (29 U.S.C.

§794d), agencies must give disabled employees and members of the public access to information that is comparable to access available to others.

Specifically, Section 508 of that Act requires that when Federal agencies develop, procure, maintain, or use EIT, Federal employees with disabilities have access to and use of information and data that is comparable to the access and use by Federal employees who are not individuals with disabilities, unless an undue burden would be imposed on the agency. (36 C.F.R. §1194 implements Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, and is viewable at: http://www.access-board.gov/sec508/standards.htm)

[ ] The EIT is for a national security system.

[ ] The EIT is acquired by a contractor incidental to a contract.

[ ] The EIT is located in spaces frequented only by service personnel for maintenance, repair or occasional monitoring of equipment.

[ ] Compliance with the applicable 36 C.F.R. Part 1194 provisions would impose an undue burden on the agency.

Applicable Standards.

The following accessibility standards from 36 C.F.R. Part 1194 have been determined to be applicable to this contract/order. See www.section508.gov for more information:

[ ] 1194.21 Software applications and operating systems.

[X ] 1194.22 Web-based intranet and internet information and applications. 16 rules.

[ ] 1194.26 Desktop and portable computers.

[ ] 1194.31 Functional performance criteria.

[ ] 1194.41 Information, documentation, and support.
