INTRODUCTION

Purpose The purpose of this effort is to provide inspection, maintenance and handling support for Ground Support Equipment (GSE) to the 575 AMXS, Joint-Base San Antonio-Randolph (JBSA-Randolph) Air Force Base (AFB), in support of the T-38 workload. The contractor shall supply skilled labor in support of production operations for depot maintenance IAW the Minimum Team Compliment (MTC) as shown in Table 2.3. This requirement will not include personal services or inherently governmental functions.

Scope The contractor will be responsible for inspecting and maintaining a wide range of GSE for the T-38 workload, to include but not limited to wing sleds used to flip aircraft wings; dollies and racks used to store engines, vertical stabilizers, canopies, wings, belly cradles and cribs used to stabilize aircraft that are not installed in jigs, and fuselage transport sled and dollies. The contractor shall not support USAF-standard Aerospace Ground Equipment (AGE) that the Government already maintains as part of a Host/Tenant Support Agreement or other equipment that is under manufacturer support contracts/warranty.

The contractor shall read and interpret blueprint, technical data, and engineering process orders to perform installation and maintenance, set-up configuration and teardown operations on assigned equipment, perform visual and mechanical inspections, identify and appropriately treat corrosion, perform precision measurements and leveling operations, and service tooling sets and maintenance platforms. The contractor shall comply with established technical guidance and maintain 100% accountability of all work performed.

Background The 575th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron at JBSA-Randolph AFB, TX performs depot-level modifications, repairs and overhauls on the T-38 Talon aircraft. In support of these activities, the squadron owns and maintains a wide variety of specialized ground support equipment and tooling that is not supported by standard Aerospace Ground Equipment or Facilities maintenance shops or sections. This causes aircraft mechanics to spend thousands of hours per year inspecting, maintaining and setting up equipment and tooling; directly decreasing their availability to perform work on aircraft. This contract will enable dedicated support of the specialized ground support equipment and tooling by equipment maintainers to maximize the aircraft mechanics’ time on aircraft.

Non-Personal Services The Government will neither supervise nor direct contractor personnel. Under no circumstances shall the Government assign tasks to, or prepare work schedules for, individual contractor employees. The contractor shall manage its employees and guard against any actions that are of the nature of personal services or give the perception of personal services. If the contractor believes that any actions constitute or are perceived to constitute personal services, or are outside the scope of this requirement, the contractor shall notify the Contract Officer Representative (COR) and Contract Officer (CO)immediately.

Inherently Governmental Functions The contractor shall not perform any inherently governmental functions as defined by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 7.5. All program decisions shall be the sole responsibility of the Government. The contractor shall not counsel, mentor, make judgments and/or discretionary decisions or perform any other activities related to supervision of Government personnel. If the contractor believes that any actions constitute or are perceived to constitute inherently governmental functions, the contractor shall notify the CO immediately.

Data Rights The Government shall have unlimited rights, in all drawings, designs, specifications, notes and other works developed in the performance of this contract, including the right to use same on any other Government design or construction without additional compensation to the contractor.

I, __________________________________, an employee of ______________________________________, (Contractor) in order to support the United States Air Force (USAF) and in consideration of the USAF granting me access to Confidential, Proprietary and/or Sensitive Information held by the USAF relating to the tasks to be performed, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree to the following terms and conditions:

1. I understand that my assignment to support the Contractor in its contractual duties (the “Effort”) will involve access to Confidential, Proprietary and/or Sensitive Information belonging to other contractors, other third parties, or the USAF. The sharing of Confidential, Proprietary and/or Sensitive Information is necessary to effectively perform the mission of the USAF.

2. Except as expressly authorized in writing by the USAF, I agree to hold Confidential, Proprietary and/or Sensitive Information in trust and confidence and agree that it shall be used only for my performance of duties in support of the Contractor’s performance of the Effort, shall not be used for any other purpose, or disclosed to any third party outside the USAF. I agree that I shall not, except as expressly authorized in writing by the USAF, at any time during or after my performance of duties in support of the Contractor’s performance of the Effort, directly or indirectly, disclose, publish or disseminate, to any other person or entity, any Confidential, Proprietary and/or Sensitive Information I have access to by reason of my performance of duties in support of the Contractor’s performance of the Effort, nor shall I use any such Confidential, Proprietary and/or Sensitive Information for my personal use or advantage, or make it available to others not cleared for access to Confidential, Proprietary and/or Sensitive Information by the USAF or lacking a need-to-know for performance of the Effort. I will hold all Confidential, Proprietary and/or Sensitive Information I have access to by reason of my performance of duties in support of the Contractor’s performance of the Effort in confidence and use it solely for the benefit of the USAF and the performance of Effort. I shall not retain any Confidential, Proprietary and/or Sensitive Information, including written notes, photographs, sketches, models, memoranda or any tangible representation of the Confidential, Proprietary and/or Sensitive Information except as required in my performance of duties in support of the Contractor’s performance of the Effort. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing statements, I agree that Confidential, Proprietary and/or Sensitive Information shall not be released to the media, press, competing firms, individuals, or government officials outside the USAF for any purpose. I further understand and agree that all Confidential, Proprietary and/or Sensitive Information shall be retained, disseminated, released, and destroyed in accordance with the requirements of law and applicable Department of Defense or USAF directives, regulations, instructions, policies and guidance.

3. All information that I receive or obtain in performance of my duties in support of the Contractor’s performance of the Effort shall be deemed to be Confidential, Proprietary and/or Sensitive Information, including, without limitation, visual, verbal and written information, in whatever form or medium, including, but not limited to, personal, business or financial information, or intellectual property, or technical information in the form of discussions, communications, designs, concepts, requirements, specifications, software, interfaces, components, processes, or similar things. I understand and agree that any work product related to the Effort, including, but not limited to, final documents and products, drafts, feeder documents, briefings, notes, and any other related oral or written communication shall constitute Confidential, Proprietary and/or Sensitive Information for purposes of this Agreement. Confidential, Proprietary and/or Sensitive Information shall not include information that I or the Contractor can demonstrate (A) was known by me or the Contractor without restriction as to further disclosure when received or was developed independently by the Contractor by individuals who had no direct or indirect access to such information, (B) was obtained from a source other than the USAF, its employees, agents, or contractors through no breach of confidence, (C) was in the public domain when received or thereafter enters the public domain through no breach of confidence by Contractor or myself, or (D) was used or disclosed with the prior written approval of the USAF.

4. I have been advised and understand that my violation of this agreement could cause irreparable injury to the United States.
