1. Description of Services/General Information

1.1 General

1.1.1 The provides a rapidly deployable, combat rescue and

reaction force response utilizing HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopters. The squadron offers long-range rescue, humanitarian assistance, non-combatant evacuation, and disaster relief capabilities.

1.1.1.1 The unit is currently transitioning from the HH-60G to the HH-60W. All current references to HH-60G manuals and checklists will be supplanted by their HH-60W counterparts. References in this document will refer only to HH-60G products until delivery of the first HH-60W in late 2024. All HH-60G products will remain valid for as long as HH-60G helicopters remain at Aviano Air Base.

1.1.2 The purpose of this contract is to provide one (1) pilot and one (1) Special Mission Aviator (SMA, formerly known as Flight Engineer) to perform HH-60G/W Functional Check Flights (FCFs), Maintenance Test Flights (MTFs), Operational Check Flights (OCFs), Acceptance Test Profiles (ATPs), Aircraft Recovery/Delivery, and Instructional Training.

1.1.2.1 Functional Check Flights (FCF): An FCF is required after certain repairs have been completed to ensure the aircraft is airworthy and mission capable. FCFs are performed in accordance with Air Force Technical Order (AFTO) 1H-60(H) G-6CF-1 and TO 1H- 60(H) G-6CL-1. FCFs do include ground runs which may or may not culminate with actual flight.

1.1.2.2 Maintenance Test Flights (MTF)/Operational Check Flights (OCF): In addition to FCFs, various components require in-flight operational checks after repair or replacement. While flight tests are often performed on operational line aircraft by available aircrews, Contractor may be required to assist or perform maintenance flights as required. These maintenance flights are necessary to ensure the required component is working properly and in unison with other systems and are performed in accordance with AFTO 1H- 60(H)G-1 and TO 1H-60(H)G-1-CL-1. MTFs/OCFs do include ground runs which may or may not culminate with actual flight.

1.1.2.3 Acceptance Test Profiles (ATPs): Similar to FCFs, ATPs are governed by AFTO 1H-

60(H) G-6CF-1 and TO 1H-60(H) G-6CL-1. While an FCF is checking one or more components on the aircraft, ATPs are checking every component on the aircraft prior to releasing the helicopter from depot.

1.1.2.4 Instructional Training: The contractor shall assist in performing instruction/training duties to support USAF personnel. Instruction/training includes, but is not limited to:

1.1.2.4.1 Basic aircraft flight currency (i.e. contact maneuvers, instrument approaches and emergency procedure training),

1.1.2.4.2 Ground instruction (i.e. systems training briefings, local area procedures, Theater

Indoctrination),

1.1.2.4.3 Basic Functional Check Flight (FCF) qualification training.

1.1.2.5 Aircraft Recovery/Delivery: Aircraft may need to be recovered or delivered in support of operations. Contractor flight crews will, if needed, provide for the repositioning of aircraft.

1.2 Period of Performance/Place of Performance

1.2.1 Performance shall take place primarily at Aviano Air Base (AB), Italy facility. In addition, the Contractor may be required to travel commercially to other locations in support of missions and may qualify for travel reimbursements.

1.2.2 The contractor shall furnish all management, personnel, and services necessary to achieve full performance under the contract within 90 days of the contract award date.
