Vision Statement:

The vision for this contract is to provide aircraft maintenance and pilot differences training to deliver an operational capability to a Foreign Military Sales (FMS) F-16 new-buy country upon first ferry of aircraft to country. For existing F-16 countries the vision is to provide aircraft maintenance and pilot differences training to support ongoing sustainment training or in-country training to support aircraft upgrade programs.

1.0. Description of service

1.1 Introduction

1.1.1. Training and technology transfer is required by various international customers in support of initial acquisition and/or continuing support for their F-16 aircraft, weapon systems, associated support equipment and software. This training shall be Contractor-provided, Special Contract Training Type 3 (AETCM 36-2601), procured by Air

Education and Training Command (AETC). Instruction and technical information shall be in the English language.

1.2 Background on this Program

1.2.1. Pre-delivery training (prior to initial aircraft ferry to country) is required for countries that have never flown the F-16. Countries in this category may not be purchasing in-country contract maintenance, and may not have contract maintenance support beyond typical Field Service Representatives (FSR) representation. Academics may be provided CONUS/OCONUS. On-the-Job Training (OJT) may be provided to new-buy countries CONUS, pre-delivery and/or OCONUS. In the instance of pre-delivery training, the country-furnished training aircraft may be available immediately after production and DD250 transfer. OJT may be provided in country for existing F-16 country sustainment or differences training as a result of aircraft upgrades. Existing F-16 countries purchasing new aircraft may not be considered for pre-delivery training, but could elect to do so. The Contractor may be required to conduct unclassified and/or country-specific classified training at an OCONUS location according to Task Order requirements.

1.3 Concept of Operations

1.3.1. The contractor shall provide training and support services at the contractor’s facility. Individual task orders may require training to occur, at CONUS Government provided facilities, OCONUS (in country), or online if requested by country (academics only).

1.4. Scope

1.4.1. Reserved

1.4.2. Reserved

1.4.3. Mobilization

Mobilization is defined as the effort to establish the training capability and develop courseware, syllabi and any student materials within 120 calendar days of issuance of only the initial task order. This does not include the foreign disclosure process time required outlined in para 1.4.4.3. Although the mobilization period is allowed, task orders requirements that occur during the mobilization period will be given consideration for any remaining mobilization time.
