This Performance Work Statement outlines the requirement for publications/materials pulling and prepping services at the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Publication Depot in Springfield, VA. The contractor will assist with shipping a high volume of publications, specifically around 450 orders, each potentially containing up to 20 boxes of Water Safety Material. Tasks include collecting, packaging, weighing, and labeling materials for shipment within a 30-day period, ensuring each order is completed within two hours. The contractor is responsible for supervising staff, holding appropriate insurance, and adhering to USACE safety and security protocols, including E-Verify for personnel. The government will provide SOPs, perform quality control, and handle payment processing for the firm-fixed-price contract.

This government file addresses vendor questions regarding an RFP for material handling and shipping services. Key points clarify that the government will provide material handling equipment, and while order sizes may vary, approximately 9000 items are expected within a 30-day shipping window, with flexible daily quotas. The document confirms that standard Workers' Compensation and General Liability insurance are typically sufficient, aligning with FAR 52.228-5. It also specifies that an OSHA-certified competent person can perform work while supervising, provided the supervision quality isn't compromised. The requirement is for three W-2 employees (material handlers), and while a contractor-provided supervisor is not explicitly mandated, the Pubs team will offer daily instruction. Overtime and weekend work are not anticipated, and site access for personnel will be facilitated upon submission of a list of names to GSA Guards.
