PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

1. PROJECT TITLE: Rapid Development and Integration Facility (RDIF) Support

2. BACKGROUND: The RDIF was created as an organic development capability within Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) for Air Force (AF) Irregular Warfare (IW), and command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR) and expanded to additional agencies acquisition needs. This initiative established an AF aircraft development and prototype center of excellence, which will not supplant current test centers or processes. This initiative supports current reform initiatives and the current and future acquisition environment. It leverages existing Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB), Ohio infrastructure initially, then develops the capability over time.

3. SCOPE: The RDIF's primary function and scope consists of the following:

aircraft/equipment related part development, integration, prototyping, production and kitting as awarded. While it is the Government's goal to perform as much of the requirement as possible, Contractor resources augment Government resources to accomplish the RDIF's mission. The support requirements fluctuate as programs and funding are acquired.
