1. INTRODUCTION

This performance work statement (PWS) outlines the training services required to support the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Air and Marine Operations (AMO). The goal is to secure experienced, proactive, full-service training provider/s to meet the many training requirements for Aircraft Pilot Training Services.

Additional information is available to the public at: https://www.cbp.gov/border-security/air-sea

2. BACKGROUND

The mission of the CBPAMO is to serve and protect the American people. We apply advanced aeronautical and maritime capabilities and employ our unique skill sets to preserve America’s security interests. AMO intercepts, disrupts, and apprehends threats to the United States in the air, sea, and land domains. Our Air Interdiction Agents pilot our airplanes and helicopters. They detect, track, and intercept people, aircraft, vessels, and contraband at the border and within the interior. Their responsibilities include Air-to-ground border interdiction of people and conveyances illegally crossing land borders; Air-to-Air border interdiction of aircraft illegally crossing borders in the air; and extended border operations in the Source and Transit Zone.

AMO is the Nation’s leading aviation and maritime law enforcement organization with more than 1,800 federal agents and mission support personnel, over 200 aircraft, and 300 marine vessels operating throughout the United States, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. AMO conducts its mission in the air and maritime environments at and beyond the border and within the nation's interior. AMO complies with the Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs) as managed and enforced by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), as per Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Aeronautics and Space, and it conducts flight operations, in accordance with FAR Part 91, to the greatest extent possible.

AMO’s mission has and will continue to evolve as will aircraft. With these evolutions, it is sometimes necessary to drop or add aircraft types, makes/models, and configurations of aircraft in the CBP fleet and the total number of pilots trained in each aircraft will change as a result of these fleet changes.
