15DDHQ24R00000041 Section C

SECTION C - DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/WORK STATEMENT

C.1 INTRODUCTION

The mission of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is to enforce the controlled substances laws and regulations of the United States and to bring to the criminal and civil justice systems those organizations and/or individuals involved in the growing, manufacture, or distribution of controlled substances appearing in or destined for illicit traffic in the United

States and its territories. DEA mission responsibilities are worldwide. The Aviation

Division’s role in this mission is to provide total aviation support to DEA Field Divisions and other law enforcement agencies in all aspects of Drug Law Enforcement. The provision of a total aviation support system will ensure that the security and integrity of all flight-related systems and support functions are maintained. In addition to domestic operations, the

DEA Aviation Division operates outside the United States in cooperation with individual host countries, and as such, conducts flight missions the nature of which vary from country-to-country.

C.2 BACKGROUND

The Aviation Division is an IS-BAO SMS Stage 3 certified operator, who’s mission includes, but is not limited to aerial surveillance, intelligence gathering, flight training, special operations, cargo delivery, personnel transport, administrative and maintenance operations. DEA has no spare aircraft for mission support during maintenance events; therefore, timely inspections, modifications, overhaul and accurate diagnosis and repair of discrepancies are critical.

The Aviation Division has historically flown annually approximately 29,000 hours, made approximately 4100 purchases for aircraft maintenance, training and support, and completed approximately 350 annual training events. The Aviation Division has 139 Special

Agent/Pilot positions. Actual on board varies from year to year. The Aviation Division has historically performed approximately 1200 maintenance events each year.

The DEA assets include a variety of commercial aircraft consisting of single and twin turbine rotorcraft, as well as, single and twin-engine piston, single and twin turbo-prop and twin-engine jet fixed wing platforms, many of which are modified and equipped with state- of-the-art, highly sophisticated sensor equipment and designed to facilitate detection and apprehension of violators. DEA aviation operations are primarily spontaneous on demand with few, if any, regularly scheduled missions. The Aviation Division currently has a fleet of 109 aircraft; comprised of 81 fixed wing and 28 rotor wing. The average age of this fleet is approximately 20 years old. Aviation Division operations are conducted under FAA FAR

Part 61, 65 and 91.

C.3 SCOPE OF WORK

The Aviation Division’s mission is to provide tactical, technical, and administrative aviation support to enhance and enable DEA’s worldwide mission. These capabilities are critical to

DEA’s strategic goal of disrupting and dismantling Drug Trafficking. Such support includes air and ground surveillance, maritime surveillance, electronic surveillance, photographic reconnaissance, undercover operations, marijuana eradication, prisoner transport and special helicopter operations for DEA’s global enforcement operations. By providing immediate technical, and administrative aviation support, the Aviation Division is a vital force multiplier not only for DEA, but for our interagency and international partners, as well. The purpose of this contract is to provide the Aviation Division, with mission support for the full range of aviation operations, to include: Program Management, Aircraft Maintenance, Flight

Simulators & Avionics, Training, Logistical, Inventory Management, and Administrative

Support necessary to sustain the worldwide DEA aircraft fleet in a safe, reliable and full mission capable condition. The Contractor shall provide aircraft and/or equipment, pilot services and special operations support as required.
