INTRODUCTION
1. CONTRACT PURPOSE: The ABOS contract is a non-personal services contract to provide Base Operations Services and Mission Support at Ascension Auxiliary Air Field (AAAF). 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. While not all Base Operations Services and Mission Support functions will be executed immediately, over time there must be an ability to “on-ramp” Base Operations Services and Mission Support from other areas as the opportunity arises. Conversely, there may come the time where it is necessary to “off-ramp” Base Operations Services and Mission Support where necessary.
1.1. Description of Services: The Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform AAAF mission support and base operations services as defined in this Performance Work Statement (PWS), except for those items specified as Government furnished property and services.
1.1.1. The Contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract.
1.1.2. Performance of Services during Crisis Declared by the National Command Authority or
Overseas Combatant Commander. All requirements outlined within this PWS are considered critical. The contractor shall continue providing services 24 hours a day until the crisis is over. The contractor shall ensure enough skilled personnel are available during a crisis for any operational emergency due to utility failure, damage control, and damage repair. (CDRL A001, Program Management Plan).
1.2. Background: The AAAF is a Contractor-operated tracking and instrumentation station on a volcanic-rock island in the South Atlantic nearly 5,000 miles downrange from CCSFS.
1.2.1. The United States entered into a variety of Host Nation Agreements for the rights to utilize AAAF. The Contractor must operate in accordance with these agreements and take into account in its management plans all other applicable labor agreements governing the employment and management of American or foreign nationals. In addition, the Contractor must interface, cooperate, and collaborate with Host Nation representatives.
1.2.2. Upon specific request, the ABOS contract can support private sector commercial space activities based on the Commercial Space Launch Cooperation Act of 2012, codified at 10 USC 2276. Such support is of the general type otherwise provided to the DoD within this Performance Work Statement. Support is not to be provided to commercial space act iv i t ies unless specifically directed by the Contracting Officer and only when the Contracting Officer has secured full non-Federal funding from the supported commercial entity.
1.3. Objectives: The Government intends for the successful ABOS Contractor to meet the following service objectives performed under this contract.
1.3.1. Operations and Maintenance (O&M) of High Frequency (HF) Global Antenna and Tenant Systems as required per PWS or SLD 45 Support Agreements.
1.3.2. Provide a broad range of civil engineering services, including real property management, facility engineering, corrosion control, antenna maintenance, and infrastructure work.

1.3.3. Provide Airfield Management (AM); Air Traffic Control (ATC); aircrew services; airfield ground support services; and Radar, Airfield and Weather Systems (RAWS) / Air Traffic Control and Landing Systems (ATCALS) maintenance support at the AAAF airfield which is operated under the guidance of applicable DoD regulations, Air Force Instructions (AFIs), Local Policies, and the AAAF Military Airfield Manager (AFM).
1.3.4. Provide a variety of public health and medical services, including laboratory services, the implementation of a public health program and occupational health program and the provision of acute, routine, and emergency medical services by credentialed healthcare providers.

1.3.7. Provide an emergency management program that includes disaster avoidance, mitigation, and response, along with personnel accounting procedures.
1.3.8. Provide and manage lodging and housekeeping, custodial, dining, laundry, recreation, and other related services for Government personnel, base tenants, various Contractor personnel, visitors, and guests authorized by the Ascension Base Commander.
1.4. Requirements Scalability: While a large portion of the requirements for this effort are stable and predictable, the level of effort and quantity of Base Operations Services and Mission Support for new customers and operations evolution is less predictable and Base Operations Services and Mission Support tempo will likely grow during the Period of Performance. This contract must keep pace with an ability to adapt to requirements surges and growth. There may be other unforeseen requirements that on-ramp to this contract if decisions are made to off-ramp from other efforts. The general scope of ABOS has been written broadly enough to capture most Base Operations Services and Mission Support. However, for the more stable and predictable requirements, minimum workload indicators are addressed in the workload indicators (Attachment 11).
