(d) The small business size standard for a Contractor providing a product which it does not manufacture itself, for a contract other than a construction or service contract, is 500 employees.

Representations and Certifications section of the System for Award Management (SAM) and its other data in SAM, as necessary, to ensure that they reflect the Contractor's current status.

(i) Use and release of contractor attributional/proprietary information not created by or for DoD.

(k) The Contractor shall conduct activities under this clause in accordance with applicable laws and regulations on the interception, monitoring, access, use, and disclosure of electronic communications and data.

(l) Other safeguarding or reporting requirements. The safeguarding and cyber incident reporting required by this clause in no way abrogates the Contractor’s responsibility for other safeguarding or cyber incident reporting pertaining to its unclassified information systems as required by other applicable clauses of this contract, or as a result of other applicable U.S. Government statutory or regulatory requirements.

(m) Subcontracts. The Contractor shall—

(1) Include this clause, including this paragraph (m), in subcontracts, or similar contractual instruments, for operationally critical support, or for which subcontract performance will involve a covered contractor information system, including subcontracts for commercial items, without alteration, except to identify the parties;

and

(2) When this clause is included in a subcontract, require subcontractors to rapidly report cyber incidents directly to DoD at http://dibnet.dod.mil and the prime Contractor. This includes providing the incident report number, automatically assigned by DoD, to the prime Contractor (or next higher-tier subcontractor) as soon as practicable.

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

Hypobaric Chamber – School of Army Aviation Medicine

Part 1

GENERAL INFORMATION

1. GENERAL

This is a non-personnel services contract to provide Hypobaric Chamber Maintenance. 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 Description of Services/Introduction

The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform Hypobaric Chamber Maintenance as defined in this Performance Work Statement, except for those items specified as government furnished property and services. The contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract.

1.2 Background

The School of Army Aviation Medicine (SAAM) is home to the Army’s only Hypobaric (Altitude) Chamber specifically used for aviation / aeromedical training purposes.

Established in 1971 at Hanchey Army Heliport, it moved to its current location at the back of Lyster Army Health Clinic when USASAM was organized in 1984. To date, the chamber has trained more than 65,000 aircrew members. SAAM conducts initial and refresher Hypobaric Chamber training for fixed-wing and rotary-wing aviators, Flight Medics, Aviation Psychologists, Aviation Safety Officers, Flight Surgeons, Special Operations Forces, High- Altitude Parachutists (HAP/HALO), and a variety of DoD supported agencies. Students must complete two hours of academic training prior to participating in the chamber flight.

The focus is on altitude physiology and the effects of hypoxia, as well as other physiological problems resulting from exposure to reduced atmospheric pressure encountered during high altitude fixed wing and/or rotary wing flight. The training requires each student to demonstrate thorough understanding of the effects of altitude on the human body;

recognize the signs/symptoms of hypoxia, and utilize available oxygen systems to prevent/recover from hypoxia. This training enables the aircrews to experience the effects of altitude exposure in a safe and controlled environment, providing the student with the training necessary for global deployment.

SAAM has a school trained/experienced Hypobaric Chamber Maintenance Technician (Department of the Army Civilian) on-site who provides Hypobaric Chamber scheduled and unscheduled maintenance. SAAM requires contract maintenance support to provide scheduled and unscheduled maintenance when SAAM’s chamber maintenance technician is unavailable or unscheduled maintenance is outside the SAAM maintenance technician’s scope of training and to provide annual technical inspections of maintenance to ensure SAAM is in compliance with all policies and regulations.

1.3 Objectives

The Contractor shall provide Contractor Logistic Services (CLS) to include scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, (include parts and labor) on the Hypobaric Chamber maintenance located at the School of Army Aviation Medicine (SAAM) on Fort Rucker, Alabama.
