All documents and manuals shall be submitted for for review within 30 calendar days from date of contract award and as generated or requested (CDRL A001). The Contractor shall comply with all Airworthiness Directives (AD) and service bulletins for mission effectiveness.

3.6.1.1 FAA Standard Airworthiness Certificates

For aircraft with FAA Standard Airworthiness Certificates, the Contractor shall maintain the aircraft IAW 14 CFR.

The Contractor shall secure FAA approval for each change to the configuration that is not defined in the aircraft’s Airworthiness Certificate before the change is used in support of this contract. For each such modification, the Contractor shall secure and provide the valid FAA-approved data within 30 days of contract award and as generated or requested (CDRL A001). For Type Certificated aircraft, if this data references FAA regulations as the standard, the Contractor shall provide Approved Data as defined in the FAA Order 8300.16 for any major alteration or major repair. Major alterations to aircraft with Standard Airworthiness Certificates shall have been certified as airworthy and properly documented using FAA Form 337 signed in blocks six (6) (Conformity) and seven (7) (Return to Service) by persons authorized under 14 CFR § 43, and citing FAA Approval Data. The FAA may only certify modifications relating to powered systems for captive carriage if the operation of that system in not considered commercial purposes, per 49 USC § 40125.

3.6.1.2 FAA Special Airworthiness Certificates

In addition, the Contractor shall provide airworthiness substantiation data IAW CDRL A001 for the proposed change.

4.0 OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS

4.1 Mission Planning

4.1.1 Under the Commander, Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIRSYSCOM), PMA-226 is the overall CAS Program Manager. PMA-226 will designate SOs to execute administrative tasks such as mission scheduling and coordination, and invoice certification. The Contractor Representative (CR) shall coordinate with the SO on all formal requests for Fighter Jet services to determine feasibility of support, implications of support on other scheduled or potentially scheduled mission and any other necessary details requiring coordination.

4.1.2 The Contractor shall support normal schedule for flight operations, which is Monday through Friday, 0600 to 2000 local time. However, flight operations may be scheduled at any time, 24 hours a day/seven days a week, subject to a minimum mission flight time. The weekly schedule provided by the SO will identify when operations are required outside of the normal operating schedule or that are of longer duration than 14 hours per day. The schedule is typically published on Wednesday of the week prior to the execution week.

Once this weekly schedule is published, the Government will give the Contractor 24 hours advance notice for any changes to the tasking and issue an update to the weekly schedule. To meet emergent demands, the Contractor may be asked to provide services with less than 24 hours’ notice during home base operations.

4.1.3 Notwithstanding other requirements of this PBWS, flight operations may be scheduled at any time, 24 hours a day/seven days a week, subject to a minimum mission flight time of 60 minutes. The SO shall provide the CR with a long range (revolving one-year planning calendar) schedule depicting Fighter Jet requirements in calendar days, expected number of sorties, and supporting unit(s) to facilitate direct communication between Fighter Jet Services provider and end user. The Government may or may not order flight services on any given day of detachment operations. Scheduled and planned maintenance requirements that preclude availability of any aircraft shall be communicated at least 30 calendar days prior to any maintenance activity so that supportable commitments can be adjusted; no special scheduling arrangements or considerations will be made to meet the Contractor’s maintenance requirements. During non-scheduled maintenance or if the Contractor is unable to meet the published flight schedule (missions cannot be met), the Contractor shall inform the Government as soon as possible via email or phone to the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR), GFR, and SO.

4.1.4 The normal schedule for flight operations is Monday through Friday, 0600 to 2000 local time.

However, flight operations may be scheduled and conducted at any time, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The weekly schedule, provided by Fleet Area Control and Surveillance Facility (FACSFAC), will identify when operations are required and where operations are being supported from. The long range schedule will provide the contractor with the estimated airfield where the support will be flown from, and the weekly will be updated as required throughout execution reflecting the actual airfield of operations. The weekly schedule will reflect when operations are outside the normal operating schedule or are of longer duration than 14 hours per day and is typically published on Wednesday, on the week prior to the execution week. When this weekly schedule is published, the Government will provide the Contractor a 12 hour advance notice for any change to the tasking for operations out of the Contractor’s home base (home airfield of operations) or changes to the schedule once on a detachment (where operations are conducted away from home airfield) and issue an update to the weekly schedule; this 12-hour advance notice does not include adding a mission on a non-flying day from home base, but could add a mission on a previously scheduled no fly day during a detachment and crew/duty day considerations will be given to the Contractor.

4.1.5 If an aircraft is supporting flight events on a detachment (away from home base and airfield depicted on the weekly schedule), the Government will provide at least 18 hours’ notice before redeploying to another site; where operations may begin at one airfield/location and end at another airfield (detachment operations continue but a different airfield of operations). During periods of intensive test operations or major exercises, flight operations may run in excess of 14 hours a day, seven days a week for up to four weeks, this includes Fleet Replacement Squadron (FRS) support flown as a detachment in bases such as NAS Key West or MCAS Beaufort. FRS support operations are typically two (2) or four (4) aircraft detachments with each aircraft flying three times per day. FRS detachments can be two to four weeks in length. When detachments (greater than 7 days), high tempo operations or extended fly days are anticipated, the Government will notify the Contractor via email at least 14 business days in advance. Crew duty days and crew rest are addressed specifically in DCMAINST 8210.1C change 1. Pre-exercise planning between the CR, SO, and end user/exercise planner should identify the specific requirements to allow Contractors flexibility in coordinating.

Scheduled and planned maintenance requirements that may preclude aircraft availability should be coordinated as far in advance as possible with the SO. Pilot mission briefs are held prior to mission execution and will include detailed information for mission profile execution.

4.1.6 The Contractor shall coordinate ground and flight crew daily schedules as necessary to meet the operational tasking of the SO. The Contractor shall provide a CR contact to cover scheduling 24 hours per day/seven days a week. Scheduled and planned maintenance requirements that will preclude availability of any aircraft should be coordinated as far in advance as possible so that supportable commitments can be adjusted. As soon as it is determined that missions cannot be met, the Contractor shall inform the Government if any aircraft are not able to meet assigned or future missions, via email or phone to the COR.

4.2 Scheduling Officer Communications with Contractor

a. The designated SO for East Coast Task Orders (TOs) is the CAS office at Fleet Area Control

Surveillance Facility (FACSFAC) Virginia Capes (VACAPES), VA. The SO will coordinate the Government’s Navy Fleet requirements and schedule all Fleet missions for the East Coast.

b. The designated SO for West Coast TOs is FACSFAC San Diego, CA. The SO will coordinate the Government’s Navy Fleet requirements and schedule all Fleet missions for the West Coast.

c. The designated SO for the MIDPAC and WESTPAC is the CAS office at FACSFAC Pearl Harbor, HI. The SO will coordinate the Government’s Navy Fleet requirements and schedule all Fleet missions for MIDPAC and WESTPAC.
