Avenue P, Palmdale, California 93550, a leased location subject to City of Palmdale and County of Los Angeles regulations.

1.1 Scope: The Contractor shall have a proactive management approach to operate, maintain, and repair all AFRC facilities, utilities, and grounds. The Contractor shall initiate all maintenance and repair actions to ensure that AFRC facilities and assets are available and reliable to support the mission. The Contractor shall provide on-site management, staff, supervision, tools, materials, equipment, and incidental fabrication in order to fulfill this contract in accordance with the requirements specified herein.

1.2 Background: Armstrong’s Mission: AFRC is NASA's premier flight research and airborne science center. Located at Edwards, California in the western Mojave Desert, AFRC is uniquely situated to take advantage of the excellent year-round flying weather, remote area, and visibility to test some of the nation’s most exciting air vehicles. Since 1946, Research projects at AFRC have led to major advancements in the design and capabilities of many state-of-the-art civilian and military aircraft. The newest, the fastest, the highest – all have made their debut in the vast, clear desert skies over Armstrong. To further advance in-flight science and to accommodate the increasing number of aircraft, Armstrong also operates B703, its largest aircraft hangar facility.

AFRC’s mission is “separating the real from the imagined, through flight.” Elements of this research mission include pioneering aerospace technology, validating space exploration concepts, conducting science missions, and supporting the International Space Station.

1.2.1 Facilities Engineering and Logistics Management Branch: The Facilities Engineering and Logistics Management Branch is the organization responsible for the stewardship of AFRC’s facilities and assets. The Facilities mission is to “provide our customers and partners with safe, high-quality, cost-effective facilities and assets that are consistent with those required for a world-class flight research organization.” The Facilities vision is: “When Armstrong Flies, Armstrong Facilities and Assets are ready.”

1.3 General Information: The following general requirements shall apply to all functions, services, and products of this contract. Unless specified otherwise herein, the Contractor shall comply with these requirements at the commencement, and throughout the duration, of contract.
