PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

Deployable Range Package (DRP) Tech Inspection

AUG 26, 2026

Part 1 General Information

1. General: This is a non-personal service contract to provide specialized technical inspection, preventative maintenance, system diagnostic testing, and certified operator/maintainer training for the Deployable Range Package (DRP) at Caserma Ederle, Vicenza, Italy. The personnel rendering the service(s) are not subject, either by the contract’s terms or by the manner of its administration, to the supervision and control usually prevailing in relationships between the Government and its employees.

1.1 Description of Services/Introduction: The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform maintenance, inspection, and operations training of highly specialized range package hardware as defined in this Performance Work Statement (PWS), except for those items specified as Government Furnished Property (GFP) and services. The contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract.

1.2 Background: The Seventh U.S. Army Training Command (7ATC), Training Support Activity Europe (TSAE), Regional Training Support Division-South (RTSD-South) is responsible for managing and executing the United States Army Europe (USAREUR) Sustainable Range Program (SRP). This requirement supports a highly specialized need for technical inspection, preventative maintenance, system diagnostic testing, and certified operator/maintainer training for the target lifting systems integrated within the Deployable Range Package (DRP).

InVeris Training Solutions (formerly Meggitt Training Systems, which previously acquired Caswell International) is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of these systems. As the OEM, the contractor holds exclusive proprietary design rights, engineering drawings, software source codes, technical data packages, and spare parts supply pipelines. There are no organic military, civilian, or alternative commercial options capable of performing this work without violating proprietary software architectures. Attempting to utilize non-certified personnel to perform maintenance or training would void the manufacturer's active equipment warranties, violate system safety certifications, and present a significant risk to soldier safety and operational training readiness.

1.3 Scope: The contractor shall provide two (2) certified OEM Technicians onsite for five (5) days to provide certified maintenance and operation training, scenario writing instruction, and comprehensive inspection/functionality testing of the Deployable Range Package (DRP). This encompasses three (3) days dedicated to the physical and software inspection of stationary infantry targets, stationary armor targets, the RZ14 control system, and the RZ24 control system, followed by two (2) days of advanced maintenance, operation, troubleshooting, and scenario instruction for Government personnel.

1.4 Objectives: The primary objective is to ensure the DRP target lifting systems are fully capable, safe, and accessible for training through certified OEM inspection and diagnostics. A secondary objective is to equip organic personnel with the necessary instruction on proprietary software operation, system troubleshooting, and scenario scripting, ensuring they can operate the systems safely without degrading operational readiness or voiding warranties.

Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) – As defined in DFARS 202.101, means an individual designated and authorized in writing by the Contracting Officer to perform specific technical or administrative functions. DoD Instruction (DoDI) 5000.72, Part II Definitions states the following when defining a COR: “Defined in subpart 202.101 of Reference (f).

For example, local terminology can be COR, Contracting Officer’s technical representative, technical point of contact, technical representative, alternate COR, administrative COR, assistant COR, line item manager, task order manager, quality assurance personnel, quality assurance evaluator, or COR management.” In addition, Army Regulation 70-13, Chapter 2, paragraph 2-2g, states, in part, the following when providing other surveillance support personnel to assist the COR when needed, “…These other surveillance support personnel may serve as on-site representatives of the COR in performance of actual contract surveillance if they meet all COR requirements and have been appointed by the Contracting Officer as alternate CORs.”

Government-furnished property includes, but is not limited to, spares and property furnished for repair, maintenance, overhaul, or modification. Government-furnished property also includes contractor-acquired property if the contractor-acquired property is a deliverable under a cost contract when accepted by the Government for continued use under the contract

The QASP directly corresponds to the performance objectives and standards (i.e., quality, quantity, timeliness) specified in the Performance Work Statement (PWS). It provides specific details on how the Government will survey, observe, test, sample, evaluate, and document Contractor performance results to determine if the Contractor has met the required standards for each objective in the PWS.

Each HLO may have several statements to flesh out the areas necessary to meet the objective. Statements are similar to Level 3 in a Work Breakdown Structure.
