PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

PROGRAM TITLE: Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) Commercial Training Services

1.0 BACKGROUND

The United States Marine Corps (USMC) has an annual requirement to provide its ARFF personnel with realistic, hands-on, live-fire training to meet operational, safety, and qualification mandates. Per NAVMC

3500.114 ARFF Training and Readiness (T&R) Manual (Short Title: ARFF T&R), this training is critical for maintaining core competencies. Historically, this training has been conducted organically at military facilities; however, a training gap during planning and construction of new facilities drives the need for commercial offsite training procured on an ad hoc basis. This Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract is being established to create a streamlined, flexible, and responsive vehicle for procuring commercial ARFF training courses to ensure consistent quality and readiness.

2.0 OBJECTIVE

This vehicle will provide USMC units with a simple and efficient method to order "seats" in pre-established courses that meet all applicable certification standards from the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Department of War (DoWI), Naval Air Training and Operating Procedures Standardization (NATOPS), and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)..
