This is a Statement of Work (SOW) for uniform alteration services required by the USAFADS "Thunderbirds," the U.S. Air Force's premier air demonstration squadron located at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada. The work will be performed under a local Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) contract vehicle to address the unpredictable uniform alteration needs resulting from frequent team member rotations and daily use of Thunderbird-specific uniforms.

The contractor shall provide comprehensive uniform alteration and repair services at USAFADS Thunderbirds Building 292, 4445 Tyndall Avenue, Nellis AFB, NV 89191. Services include alterations to duty uniforms and show suits (adjusting sleeve and pant length, sewing creases, adjusting body fit and waistband, applying or removing rank insignia and Thunderbird patches, and sewing Velcro); repairs to serviceable uniform items deemed minor by the alterations professional and Thunderbirds uniform supply manager; and modifications to flight suits (applying or removing patches and Velcro, removing pen/knife pockets, and sewing rank sets). Pick-up, drop-off, sizing, and pinning occur at the Thunderbirds building every Tuesday at 1400 hours, excluding Federal holidays, with coordination through an authorized call list. Alterations must be completed within one week of drop-off. All work requirements shall be documented and agreed upon at drop-off, with inspection by members within five days of receipt and the right to request corrections. The contractor must comply with military standards per AFI 36-2903 and Thunderbird-specific guidance, provide physical security for materials and work, assume responsibility for any damage caused by their personnel, and maintain a safe working environment.
