PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)
Real Property Support Services III
21 May 2026
1. PURPOSE
Real Property offices across the Department of Defense (DoD) require support to maintain accurate
information within their various Real Property Systems of Record. The inability of a customer to maintain
accurate information within a mandated system of record exposes that customer to the likelihood for audit
failures, shortage of sustainment funds and inaccurate reporting of facility quantities, conditions, and
incorrect space assignments to higher DoD headquarters.
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Huntsville Engineering and Support Center (HNC) seeks to
award a non-personal services Performance Based contract to provide on-site or deskside real property
support services for DoD customers across the Contiguous United States (CONUS) and specific Non-
Contiguous (OCONUS) locations at which DoD has a presence. Contract can be utilized to support all
DoD services components (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Space Force) and all DoD agencies (e.g.
DIA, DLA, etc.). Place of service could be at the contractor’s offices if there is no need to perform
work on-site, hereafter referred to as ‘desk side’s support. Place of service could be on-site and
therefore could require travel to any point where a DoD service or agency has a presence. OCONUS
nation locations will be specifically listed within this Performance Work Statement (PWS). It is
expected that a vast majority of the work will be completed either at the contractor’s office location or
at a CONUS location. It is a highly unusual requirement which requires travel to an OCONUS
location.
The focus of this contract and the underlying task orders issued will be on three aspects of support:
1. Direct Maintenance of the data within the Real Property System of Record; this will include data
collection (will not include assessments which require substantial engineering assessments), data
review against audit regulations, data entry, data quality and reporting.
2. Provision of Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) on a full-time basis to individual Garrisons to support
and/or augment Garrison staff. SME support may extend those fields of expertise necessary to
record data into the Real Property Systems of Record listed below. SME support may include
Master Planners, Environmental Engineers, Fire Protection Engineers, Certified Playground
Inspectors, or other disciplines which support Real Property on an installation, and which are in
addition to experts in Real Property Systems of Record support.
3. Standalone studies and analyses. Examples may include requirements analysis, utility analyses,
environmental analysis, economic or financial analysis and other such requirements. These studies
can include any analysis or study which is not designated as Master Planning analyses under
Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC )2-100-1 or which do not lead to construction.
The Government will not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers.
Contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn is responsible to
the Government. The Contractor shall ensure work meets all applicable Federal, State, and local laws,
regulations, and directives.

2. BACKGROUND
Planning and Programming (P&P) Branch provides a variety of facility, master planning, real property,
programming and similar support studies for the U.S. Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, Department of
Defense or other agency installation or facility locations worldwide. P&P Branch has leveraged a variety of
contract vehicles to meet the needs of its customers. Work products can be defined by the contract vehicle
used to provide support. The majority of work products are supported through the use of an Architectural
and Engineering (A&E) MATOC. Some of the work products developed by P&P Branch are supported
through a Services contract. The focus of this acquisition is on a particular sub-set of support requirements
as outline above which will be supported via a Services contract. P&P has historically supported the work
products defined within this contract via a number of different contract vehicles and mechanisms. This
MATOC will consolidate all non-Architectural & Engineering work into a single acquisition.
2. PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES

information requirements.
2.2 Real Property Information Technology (IT) systems support –This requirement is for subject
matter experts proficient in the use of the various DoD Real Property IT systems who also
understand management and operations aspects of the business. This requirement DOES NOT
include procuring, installing, configuring or troubleshooting hardware or software.
2.3 Field Validation & Assessment - This requirement provides subject matter expert support for the
creation of new Real Property records and validation update of existing Real Property records.

has significant impact on reports to higher headquarters, sustainment funding, etc. Space
Management support – This requirement provides subject matter experts that can utilize Real
Property data and systems along with various other data types, such as population and/or force
structure data to assist customers with development of requirements, space utilization, capacity
