Government Observation & Analysis

11.0 Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) Description:

11.1. CLIN 1 (Ferry Flight): The contractor will ensure the aircraft is on station and ready for all flight events. One ferry flight round-trip from the aircraft home station to NAS Patuxent River, MD is expected per performance period. The aircraft is expected to remain on station during the entire performance period until all flight hours are complete. Prior coordination with the QE monitor is required to fly the aircraft off station during the performance period (i.e. a weekend

6 Encl (1) airshow). Any aircraft relocation that does not support USNTPS will not accrue an additional ferry flight.

11.2. CLIN 2 (Flight Hours): “Dry” flight hour rate, including all costs for aircraft operation and maintenance. The expected sortie duration will be 1 hour per member, for a total of up to 18.0 hours per performance period. Sortie completion determination will be the responsibility of the QE monitor. If a sortie does not meet the training objectives due to an aircraft failure or non-performance of the safety pilot, the hours for that flight will not be accrued towards the total contract. If a sortie does not meet training objectives because it returned early due to a weather recall initiated by the USNTPS, then any hours completed will be accrued. Flight hours will be calculated in accordance with CNAF-M 3710.7 (takeoff to landing, plus 5 minutes) as entered in FIST post flight and will be billed in increments of 0.1 hour.

11.3. CLIN 3 (Pilot Days): Covers daily cost of the safety pilot(s) while supporting the

QE program at NAS Patuxent River. In order to receive credit for pilot days, the contractor shall provide at least one safety pilot with the ability to instruct students and staff in ground and flight operations. One pilot day will be accrued for any day in which a safety pilot is on time and ready to complete the event up to the maximum budgeted amount.

11.4. CLIN 4 (Maintainer Days): Covers daily cost of the aircraft maintainer while supporting the QE program at NAS Patuxent River. In order to receive credit for maintainer days, the contractor shall provide at least one maintainer fully capable of maintaining the aircraft in a condition in which the Qual/Eval mission can be completed. One maintainer day will be accrued for any day in which a maintainer is on time and ready to carry out his/her duties up to the maximum budgeted amount.

11.5. CLIN 5 (Travel): Travel expenses cover the cost of lodging, rental vehicles, and per diem IAW Joint Travel Regulations. Travel expenses will be charged for up to one day prior to the first scheduled flight to one day after the last flight is completed.
