AIR BASE AIR DEFENSE IDIQ (ABAD)

1. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

1.1. General. This Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) service contract is for supporting operations, maintenance, and integration of USAFE-AFAFRICA Air Base Air Defense (ABAD) initiatives. This contract more specifically provides the full spectrum of Air Base Air Defense capabilities for USAFE-AFAFRICA, as well as other strategic and operational partners throughout the USEUCOM and USAFRICOM area of responsibility (AOR). Unless otherwise specified herein, all requirements defined within this PWS are to be accomplished at the Task Order level.

1.2. Mission. The United States Air Force (USAF) directs operations from forward deployed locations worldwide and throughout the ten Geographic Commands. ABAD operations are conducted in, from, and through all domains (air, land, maritime, space and cyberspace), across all phases of operations and environments. The USAF is adapting its power-projection and defense concepts to operate under a greater threat of attack. The specific mix sensors, non-kinetic, and kinetic systems, etc. will vary depending on the political geography of the region, adversary capabilities, and U.S. objectives. The ABAD effort requires the integration and fusion of multiple sensors, weapons systems across the entire spectrum of a mesh network to Find, Fix, Track, Target, Engage, and Assess (F2T2EA) a spectrum of threats, from small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) to Hypersonics. This enables real time information and response options for the Commander and Warfighter.

The United States Air Forces in Europe – Air Forces Africa (USAFE-AFAFRICA) is a Combat Major Command responsible for supporting two geographic unified commands, United States European Command (USEUCOM) and the United States Africa Command (USAFRICOM). Its mission is forward projecting power across air, space and cyber domains, defend United States (U.S.) interests, demonstrate warfighting readiness, and forge strong partnerships in support of USEUCOM and USAFRICOM campaign objectives. USAFE-AFAFRICA supports a range of military operations which require the ABAD capabilities identified in this contract.

1.3. Scope. The scope of this IDIQ contract includes Procurement, Integration, Operations, & Maintenance (O&M), and systems engineering of ABAD equipment and infrastructure throughout the EUCOM and AFRICOM combatant commands. More specifically the ABAD Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) service contract is to provide persistent, cross-domain base defense capabilities that increase deterrence/engagement options, survivability, and increase base security/defense posture. This contract will support freedom of movement, increase partnership capacity and interoperability, and foster global security and stability throughout the AORs.

1.3.1. The performance locations will be throughout Europe and Africa. The contracting officer will issue Task Orders as the ordering mechanism for specific requirements. Any additional ABAD site specific requirements will be outlined within each individual Task Order PWS.

1.3.2. ABAD contractor support shall fall into one of the following categories: 1) Program Management; 2) Operations; 3) Maintenance; 4) Air Base Air Defense Weapons System Delivery; 5) Integration of Weapon Systems, Sensors, and Command and Control Elements; 6) Systems Engineering and Special Studies; 7) Logistics Support and Services (see paragraphs 3.0 – 3.7.7). Each Task Order shall define which of these support areas will be utilized.

1.3.3. The contractor shall support military exercises as defined within the PWS, and as directed by the Contracting Officer (CO).

1.3.4. The contractor shall provide all personnel, supervision, equipment, tools, materials, transportation, and other items and services necessary to perform the PWS requirements, with the exception of the Government Furnished Property (GFP) and Services, which is further discussed in Part 4.
