SECTION I

1.0 DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

1.1. General. This is a non-personal service contract to provide staffing support services to Tyndall AFB in accordance with FAR 37.104. A personal services contract is characterized by the employer-employee relationship it creates between the Government and the contractor’s personnel. The Government is normally required to obtain its employees by direct hire under competitive appointment or other procedures required by the civil service laws. Obtaining personal services by contract, rather than by direct hire, circumvents those laws unless Congress has specifically authorized acquisition of the services by contract. The Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the contractor who, in turn is responsible to the Government.

1.1.1. Description of Services/Objectives. The contractor shall provide all personnel and supervision necessary to provide qualified support to the 325 OG in their execution of ACC/A3O7 exercises hosted at Tyndall AFB as defined in this Performance Work Statement (PWS). These operations include but are not limited to the planning, exercise and after-action analysis of CHECKERED FLAG (CKF) exercises. The contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract. This includes the planning, coordination, and management of the activities necessary to ensure disciplined work performance and timely resources application to accomplish all tasking under the contract. The contractor shall be responsible for maintaining communication with the contracting officer (CO) and the contracting officer’s representative (COR), and to immediately notify both the CO and the COR of any problems that would prevent timely performance of this contract. The contractor is responsible for and required to implement, and maintain management control systems necessary to plan, organize, direct, and control all activities under this contract.

1.1.2. Only the Contracting Officer is able to direct changes to the PWS requirement, scope, terms and conditions. Any changes made without the express direction of the CO will fall under contractor liability.

1.2. Background. CKF exercises conducted at Tyndall AFB, FL provide ACC/A3O7 Large Force Exercise (LFE) advanced tactical training for Immediate Response Force (IRF) forces. In support of exercises at Tyndall AFB, the 68th Electronic Warfare Squadron (68 EWS) at Eglin AFB, FL is tasked by Air Combat Command (ACC) through the USAF Warfare Center (USAFWC) to be the focal point to manage EW training, testing, tactics development and engineering. CKF exercises are conducted in four phases:

1) Planning Conference/Concept Development 120 Days preceding Exercise

2) Arrival (Overlap w/Planning) 1 Week prior to Exercise

3) Exercise 2 - 3 Weeks

4) Review/AAR Data Collection 1 Week following Exercise

Two CKF exercises typically occur each calendar year, one in the April/May (Spring) timeframe and another in the October/November (Fall) timeframe. CKF notification is sent to staff and participant units concerning the date and details of the initial planning conference approximately 4 weeks prior to the conference or approximately 120 days prior to exercise execution. The exercises are two to three weeks long; contain two missions per day (normally one morning LFE and one afternoon CT “go” encompassing 16 hour/day operations) with up to 100 aircraft and over 1,200 participants supporting 750 sorties. For exercises, separate morning, afternoon or nighttime operations may be conducted during any particular period. Full execution of RTO duties execution from planning to review is expected to be no more than 38 days per exercise (9 days of planning conferences, 23 days of exercise, and 5 days of data reporting).

2.0 SERVICE SUMMARY (SS)

2.1. General

The contractor service requirements are summarized into performance objectives that relate directly to mission essential items.

These thresholds are critical to mission success but do not represent all contract performance requirements. All contract performance requirements in this PWS will be monitored.

2.2. Performance Evaluation. Performance of a service shall be evaluated to determine whether or not it meets the performance requirements of this contract. Re-performance of unacceptable services at no additional cost is the preferred course of action when appropriate. In the case of issued Corrective Action Reports (CARs), the Contracting Officer shall take appropriate measures according to inspection of services clause in the contract, i.e., FAR 52.246-4 or 52.212-4(a).

Likewise, the Government may decrease the number of quality assurance inspections if performance dictates.

2.3.2. When an observation indicates defective performance, the COR will require the contract manager or representative at the site to initial the observation. The initialing of the observation does not necessarily constitute concurrence with the observation, only acknowledgment that he or she has been made aware of the defective performance. When a performance threshold has not been met or contractor performance has not been accomplished, the COR will initiate and provide the CO a CAR for issuance to the contactor. The contractor shall respond to the CAR IAW instructions provided and return it to the CO within 10 calendar days of receipt.

2.4. Performance Assessment.

2.4.1. Periodic Surveillance. This method requires the COR to employ a “spot check” style of evaluation based on the contractor’s services.

2.4.2. Customer Complaints. The COR will receive and investigate all complaints. The COR shall be responsible for validating customer complaints. The CO shall make final determination of the validity of customer complaint(s) in cases of disagreement with the COR and the contractor.
