**PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)**

**OFFICE OF SECURE TRANSPORTATION SUPPORT SERVICES**

17 April 2008

1.  **INTRODUCTION**

The U.S. Department of Energy National Nuclear Security Administration
(DOE/NNSA) requires support services for a range of paramilitary
training, curriculum development, logistical management, property
management, administrative management, transportation of critical
equipment, and other related technical and administrative support
services for the Office of Secure Transportation (OST).

2.  **BACKGROUND**

The DOE oversees the operation of a number of facilities in the
Continental United States (CONUS) that produce, store, or handle nuclear
materials. The OST is responsible for the safe and secure transport of
nuclear weapons, special nuclear materials, and weapons components
between production facilities and Department of Defense facilities via
surface and air modes of transportation by Federal Agents. These
transportation operations are made in government-owned over-the-road
tractor-trailers with escort vehicles, and in government-owned transport
aircraft, with high-level security by OST Federal Agents. The OST
employs approximately 420 Federal Agents at three Federal Agent Command
locations: Albuquerque, New Mexico; Amarillo, Texas; and Oak Ridge,
Tennessee.

The OST Office of Training and Logistics (OTL) is responsible for the
paramilitary type specialized training of the Federal Agents and certain
training program support functions, as well as the validation of
operational effectiveness through the Transportation Safeguards Training
Site (TSTS) located at Fort Chaffee, Arkansas. The TSTS and satellite
sites exist for the purpose of providing entry level, intermediate,
advanced, and continuation training necessary to counter and defeat any
threat to the nuclear weapons materials entrusted to the custody of the
Federal Agents. Since its establishment, the TSTS houses the Training
Command (TRACOM) and has evolved into a sophisticated, full-scale
training academy, which provides continuing specialized and
state-of-the-art training techniques for the agent force. The Fort
Chaffee location also serves as the OST Logistics and Property
Management Program (LPMP) Headquarters. The LPMP Central Supply Center
(CSC) provides logistical support for all OST activities.

> The Contractor Transportation Utilization Program (CTUP) is
> responsible for the safe transport of OST Tractors, Trailers and
> Escort vehicles, between Agent facilities, contractor facilities and
> Department of Defense facilities via ground movement. The CTUP Program
> supports the OST mission by providing contractor transportation
> support services, which provide trained and qualified personnel to
> conduct safe, efficient and DOT compliant transportation duties
> involving pickup and delivery of critical OST equipment (Tractors,
> Trailers, Escort vehicles).
