SUPPORT SERVICES II

(DIPSS II)

C.1. GENERAL INFORMATION

C.1.1. Introduction
The Diplomatic Platform Support Services II (DiPSS II), Indefinite Deliverable, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) provides a full range of Program Management, Construction, Life Support, Logistics and Supplies, Medical and Emergency, Operations and Maintenance, and Security Support Services to U.S. Department of State (DOS) and other U.S. Government agencies under Chief of Mission Authority and, under special circumstances, non-Chief of Mission activities across the globe. DOS anticipates a large portion of this contract to focus on locations in the Middle East and South-Central Asia contingency environments; however, the places of performance will be defined in Task Order Request for Proposals but not be limited to any one region of the world. C.1.2. Background
The DOS operates approximately 250 posts worldwide at any given time; this number changes as global situations dictate. Some Posts are located in areas that are considered to have a high threat level; including areas with Department of Defense designated contingency operations.
The DiPSS II contract will create opportunities for DOS to augment U.S. Government staff in situations overseas where demand for Program Management, Construction, Life Support, Logistics and Supplies, Medical and Emergency, Operations and Maintenance, and Security Support Services exceeds U.S. Mission capacity to support, as well as capture significant savings; achieve economies of scale and promote efficiencies in back-office operations. The objectives for the DiPSS II IDIQ include:
1. Establish a multiple award large business pool of highly reliable Contractors, capable of supporting current and future needs of DOS and U.S. Government agencies and offices overseas.
2. Acquire services and performance outcomes under broad global contracts supporting diplomatic platforms, with a special focus on the Middle East and South-Central Asia regions but provide flexibility to support DOS posts and other U.S. Government activities operating throughout the world.
3. Remove duplicative and unnecessary variations in U.S. Government requirements and inefficient processes to realize cost savings.

C.1.3. Scope
The DiPSS II IDIQ will be a platform for the U.S. Department of State (DOS) and other U.S. Government agencies under Chief of Mission Authority and, under special circumstances, non-Chief of Mission activities across the globe to procure a full range of Program Management, Construction, Life Support,
