Performance Work Statement (PWS)

Task Order 0001

24 August 2020

1. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

1.1. General. This Performance Work Statement (PWS) sets forth the requirements for Task Order (TO) 0001 under the Air Base Air Defense (ABAD) Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ).

In this document the term integration will be used to describe the work needed to bring the components for an ABAD system, along with the hardware and associated processes, together on a networked communication system. Some software that supports high-level communications protocols and translations between systems will be developed by the Government in Phase I and made available as GFE to the contractor for logistical support.

Paragraphs listed as Reserved indicate the basic ABAD IDIQ PWS language takes precedence. Paragraphs listed as N/A do not apply to this TO. In the event of a conflict between the two documents, this PWS takes precedence.

1.1.1. While there is not a separate ABAD contract in place currently, a variety of products and analysis services such as Advisory and Assistance Services (A&AS), the MITRE Corporation, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology/Lincoln Laboratory (MIT/LL), provide the Government with technical expertise necessary to complete some of the current ABAD requirements. This support is expected to continue after contract award. While the contractor will not be directed by any other contracted support, the contractor shall be required to fully cooperate with other contracted support as directed by the COR. Additionally, the Government has already procured a number of products that have been identified in the GFE list and will also be made available to the contractor.

1.2. Reserved

1.3. Scope.

1.3.1. Phase 1. Support for ABAD Development at the Ramstein Air Defense Systems Integration Laboratory (RADSIL). The initial phase will be the support for the Government development systems and facilities of the air defense systems integration laboratory at Ramstein Air Base (the RADSIL). Support will be comprised of the maintenance and documentation of the RADSIL, specifically maintenance of the command and control (C2) information systems, network communication subsystems, and commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) sensor systems.

The RADSIL will use a mix of COTS, Government Furnished Equipment (GFE), and custom software to provide command and control. The computer hardware and software will embody modern techniques for automaton, for both operational C2 and system maintenance. The C2 system will employ techniques for distributed, networked computing to achieve robust and timely response to air threats.

It is anticipated that the RADSIL will incorporate GFE and other sensors, systems and data feeds not purchased through the ABAD contract vehicle. For those systems, the Contractor shall ensure the proper connectivity and integration of those systems, when available.

The Contractor shall participate in the ongoing development activities at the RADSIL to ensure the design of an effective and sustainable ABAD capability to be produced in subsequent phases for Ramstein and across the designated bases within the EUCOM/AFRICOM AOR. This shall be accomplished by the Contactor through the delivery of a documentation package covering the construction and maintenance of the ABAD systems exemplified by those of the RADSIL. Further, the Contractor shall develop and document, in partnership with the Government, the measures of effectiveness, concepts of operation, training, testing, and instrumentation needed to support ongoing, high availability operations of those ABAD systems. Documentation of the facilities and infrastructure required by these systems shall also be delivered.

The RADSIL will provide an initial, limited ABAD capability as new systems are integrated and made available to current base defense personnel. [‘Fight with the prototype.’] Phase 1 work and the RADSIL facility will ultimately deliver end-to-end air defense C2 but may not represent the full and final laydown of material and personnel to support permanent full-scale, 24/7 operations. Any additional systems needed shall be documented as part of this work.
