SECTION 1.0: DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES
1.1 BACKGROUND.
1.1.1 Mission. Numerous organizations and functions across the USAF enterprise, to varying degrees, invest in and/or use geospatial information resources whether it be mapping systems, services, data, people or equipment to enhance their situational awareness, reduce decision risk and enhance their mission efficiency and effectiveness. HQ AFIMSC is organizing and implementing a new geospatial information resource portfolio management approach to accomplish several goals including:
• Support management, discovery, and exploitation of geospatial data and services investments such as remotely sensed imagery, spatial data of installation built and natural infrastructures, equipment and related resources for combat support
• Adopt information technology portfolio management and architecture best practices to promote interoperability and sharing of geospatial information resources, reduce redundant investments and secure cost-effective mission impacts
• Manage, track, and communicate how geospatial information resources are delivering measurable mission impacts across and beyond the AFIMSC enterprise
This ID/IQ contract vehicle is one of more than five devices HQ AFIMSC is using to execute this portfolio management vision.
Additionally, this Performance Work Statement (PWS) facilitates consistent, aligned, and unified geospatial support services for improved shared situational awareness and decision making across the various echelons of military hierarchy including individual unit level (e.g., squadron), installation level, and management headquarters level. Support may include technical assistance at Headquarters Air Force, Centers, Field Operating Agencies, Numbered Air Forces (NAFs), Main Operating Bases (MOBs) and reachback support to forward deployed military personnel at
Forward Operating Locations (FOLs) as well as a surge capability to quickly respond to wartime, contingencies and manmade or natural disasters.
1.1.2 Purpose. The purpose of this contract is to provide geospatial support and solutions under a multiple award, Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract that supports the entire AF with a primary focus on Combat Support functional communities as defined Air
Force Doctrine Publication (AFDP) 4-0 dated 5 January 2020 (see “Appendix”). This contract is permitted to support Intelligence mission activities as defined in AFDP 2-0 but Intelligence is not the primary focus. This PWS defines the general tasks to be performed under the Air Force (AF)-wide Geospatial Support Services contract.
1.1.3 Scope. This ID/IQ contract shall serve as an Air Force vehicle to provide a variety of geospatial tasks and support functions. Individual task orders (TOs) may require: on-site (i.e., at
DoD facility) and/or off-site (i.e., at a contractor-owned facility) delivery, support at various echelons of the military hierarchy including individual unit level, installation level, and management headquarters level.

For contingency/crisis events as described in this section, the government expects the contractor to have a well-designed, formally documented, pre-planned rapid recall team, plan, and process that is clearly understood and rehearsed, practiced, and/or simulated by all team members on a regular basis. Contractor personnel shall be pre-staged and prepared to mobilize and potentially relocate to a different location within a set number of hours dictated by the TO PWS. Where applicable, temporary duty (TDY) expenses and/or Other Direct Costs (ODC) will be handled
IAW the Travel and ODC sections of this PWS.
1.2.12.1 Continuity of Operations (COOP) Support.
In response to natural disasters, deliberate attacks or threats of such attacks, disease outbreaks, or other similar events, COOP activation may be necessary and directed by military leadership.
Geospatial support may be deemed a mission essential function (MEF) as part of the COOP activation requiring the persistence of support throughout recovery efforts. In these instances, support may be required or called upon 24 hours/day, 7 days/week, 365 days/year. Catastrophic events can impact an organization’s infrastructure prohibiting the ability to perform MEFs at the originally assigned location. As a result, COOP support may be required to temporarily relocate to facilities in a different part of the world incurring travel expenses and extended separation from family. Depending on the severity of the event, a determination will be made to relocate locally or to a more distant or remote site. The DoD planning factor for COOP relocation is to relocate and be performing mission essential functions within 12 hours of COOP activation.
Activities at the relocation site could persist for up to 30 days. Involvement in COOP exercises may also be required. This requirement could, at a minimum, involve activities described above in Tasks 1, 5, 6, 7, 10, and 11.
1.2.12.2 Rapid Raster (Imagery) Data Collection.
