SAMPLE TASK ORDER 2

Performance Work Statement

For SOF Mobility Aircraft Program Support

21 April 2009

1.0 DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE

1.1 GENERAL BACKGROUND AND TASK DESCRIPTION. AFSOC as the air component of USSOCOM is tasked with providing air mobility for joint Special Operations Forces (SOF) throughout an area of operations. In many cases SOF mobility requires a platform capable of operating as a quick reaction vehicle into short, undeveloped air strips in an austere environment. This requirement is continually evolving and must be adapted to various theaters/situations. SOF mobility within an area of operations is also requiring a smaller platform than AFSOC’s existing MC-130 fleet, yet requires the same intense training relationship with special operations ground forces. This emerging mobility requirement is urgent and may require purchase or lease and subsequent modification of existing commercial/military/foreign airframes to provide a warfighting capability in minimal time.

This Performance-based Work Statement (PWS) describes contractor support for functions relating to the acquisition of a SOF Mobility Aircraft. The contractor shall support the definition of operational requirements, translation of requirements to systems capabilities, and subsequent operational evaluation of new or modified systems. The contractor shall assist in the development of policies, procedures, and planning related to these operational requirements, and operational test and evaluation (OT&E). The contractor shall aid in the conversion of AFSOC concepts, roles, and missions into qualitative operational requirements for a SOF Mobility Aircraft and associated support systems. The contractor shall support the development of concepts, policies, and doctrine for joint and unilateral employment of SOF Mobility Aircraft. Work performed shall be within the scope of the task areas defined below in paragraph 1.4, Specific Requirements.
