1.0 Introduction.

1.1 Organizational Mission and Background.

This TO PWS provides for non-personal advisory and assistance services (A&AS) to fully support Aerospace Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) activities at the Tenant Organizations located at Eglin AFB. It embraces strategic and enterprise-wide concepts by making these services available in support of interrelated and joint RDT&E efforts. An enterprise-wide approach provides, in terms of benefits, the ability to expand and create new relationships in pursuit of shared developments, new technical areas, e.g. unmanned aerial vehicles, and maximize synergies, efficiencies and interoperabilities within and between these stake holder units to fully support these systems. This TMAS 2 TO is the Contractor’s tool for providing agile, responsive and affordable A&AS, innovative processes, concepts and solutions, cost savings, continuous process improvements, and best commercial practices in support of Air Force Test Center (AFTC), its partners, alliances and customers. Execution success relies on a Government-Contractor partnership working in unison, within a multi-functional team, e.g. AFTC's TMAS Project Management Office (PMO), to meet or exceed the key objectives and goals of the TMAS Program.

While the TMAS Program primarily focuses on robust systems engineering and technical assistance services, it is AFTC’s and Eglin Tenant’s primary source for all A&AS requirements as defined in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 2.101, Definitions, as supplemented.

The below sections provide an overview of the organizations requiring A&AS support:

1.1.1 Air Combat Command (ACC) 53d Wing (WG)

The mission of ACC’s 53 WG, Eglin AFB, FL, is to develop, test and evaluate advanced weapons, systems and tactics to perfect the lethality, survivability and sustainability of US combat forces; and serves as the focal point for the Combat AFs in electronic warfare (EW), armament and avionics, chemical defense, reconnaissance, and aircrew training devices. The mission of the 28th Test and Evaluation Squadron (28 TES) is to provide the 53d Test Management Group, 53 WG, and Headquarters (HQ) ACC improved combat capability through the management and support of operational test (OT), tactics development & evaluation, and sustainment of systems, weapons, and their employment. The Squadron is responsible for directing test project planning and execution, as well as data gathering, analyzing, and reporting for tests involving conventional and nuclear air munitions, avionics subsystems, chemical warfare defense, aircrew life support, chemical defense systems, munitions and avionics support equipment, weapon release systems, and automated mission planning systems.

1.1.2 Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Munitions Directorate (RW) The AFRL/RW is responsible for conventional air delivered munitions for the entire Air Force (AF) and much of the Department of Defense (DoD). RW plans and executes technology programs to meet identified customer needs, specifically focusing on providing needed war fighting capability.

RW conducts world-class research and development (R&D) of conventional munitions. The magnitude and diversity of these munitions programs presents a significant acquisition management challenge. The programs must be planned and executed to deliver the most effective and affordable conventional munitions possible. A minimum Automated Information Systems (AIS)-II designation and an AIS-I designation as described in DoD Publication 5200.2-R, Personal Security Program, January 1987, (C3.6.15) is required for a portion of this work.

1.1.3 United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) Detachment 1 (Det 1).

USSOCOM Det 1 is responsible for executing mission tasks in the general area of Standoff Precision Guided Munitions (SOPGM) carry and release programs, MC-130W weapons system development, AC-130J weapons system development, AF Battlefield Airmen Program Office support, and support to special mission units and other classified programs.

1.1.4 Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center (AFNWC) Nuclear Weapons Acquisition Division (AFNWC/NDB) Support.

The AFNWC/NDB must execute a wide array of acquisition programs and related activities with regard to the AF Armament portfolio as it ensures long term national security needs. As such, support for Network and Software Engineering as well as Information Technology (IT) / Information Assurance (IA), Engineering and Technical acquisition expertise is required to accomplish the assigned mission.
