1.0 DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

1.1 General. This is a non-personal services contract to provide Flight Test Support Services that exclusively support ongoing USAF and DoD Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation efforts (RTD&E) as well as Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E). The Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the Contract Service Provider’s employees performing the services herein; the employees shall be accountable solely to the Contract Service Provider who, in turn is responsible to the Government.

1.1.1 Description of Services/Objectives. The Contractor shall provide all management, personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, and supervision necessary to perform Flight Test Support Services in support of RTD&E and OT&E tests as defined in this Performance Work Statement (PWS), with the exception of those items specified as Government Furnished Property or services. The Contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract. This includes the planning, coordination, and surveillance of the activities necessary to ensure disciplined work performance and timely resources application to accomplish all tasking under the contract. The Contractor shall be responsible for maintaining communication with the Contracting Officer (CO) and the Contracting Officer Representative (COR), and to immediately notify both the CO and the COR of any problems that would prevent timely performance of this contract. The Contractor shall be responsible for implementing and maintaining management control systems necessary to plan, organize, direct, and control all activities under this contract.

1.2 Background. The 96th Test Wing (96 TW), 96th Cyberspace Test Group (96 CTG) conducts RTD&E and OT&E test and evaluation of communications, surveillance, and other airborne and ground based electronic systems. The 96 CTG supports the United States Air Force, other Department of Defense (DoD) organizations, Department of Energy (DOE), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), commercial customers, and foreign entities. Specifically the 96 CTG plans, conducts, analyzes, and reports on RTD&E and OT&E testing in six functional areas to include C41Systems, Datalinks and Tactical Communications, Sensors and Defensive Systems, Command and Control, Mission Planning Systems, and Information Assurance. To facilitate cost-effective testing of the various systems assigned to the 96 CTG, the squadron supports internal and external customers with program management assistance to contract for commercial flight test services.

1.3 Inherently Governmental Function. The Contractor shall not perform inherently governmental functions as defined in FAR Subpart 7.5 in relationship to this PWS.

1.4 Period of Performance. This is a five (5) year contract with one (1) basic year and four (4) option years, plus an additional six (6) months if clause 52.217-9, Option to Extend the Term of the Contract, is exercised.

1.5 Place of Performance. The Contractor shall perform a majority of the services in the PWS at Eglin Air Force Base, FL. The Contractor shall also have the ability to support mission requirements at various DoD and DoE locations within the continental United States (CONUS), to include but not limited to, Nellis, Holloman, China Lake, Utah Test and Training Range, and other locations as designated.

1.6 Specific Tasks. The 96 TW/96 CTG has requirements for two areas of Flight Test Support. These areas are:

1. Providing aircraft for support of systems under test, and

2. Provide aircraft modifications necessary for support of systems under test.

Each of these requirements will be conducted in separately scheduled test support missions. The Contractor tasks include, but not limited to, providing all aircraft, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, logistics, training, technical support, and other items and services necessary to manage and provide Flight Test Support to meet the requirements. The published pricing will include costs for mission support including all probable alternate

Page - 5 - of 24 locations. Effective test support requires quick response times and flexible scheduling, therefore a two-week maximum response time is desired from issuance of a Task Order to first flight (to include aircraft modifications) for short suspense mission requests.

In turn, the Contractor shall submit a proposal to be negotiated by the Contracting Officer, prior to the issuance of a Task Order contract, based on the pre-negotiated rates incorporated into the basic contract.

1.6.1.3 Petroleum, Oil, and Lubricants (POL). The POL will be handled on a per mission test support basis and will be identified to the Contractor in the Request for Proposal for a Task Order.

1.6.1.3.1 When operating from a Government airfield the Government shall provide a fuel card for Contractor aircraft to obtain POL from the local Government facility. Note that AVGAS may not be available at Government facilities and if the aircraft uses AVGAS, the Contractor will be responsible for obtaining fuel.

2.0 Service Summary (SS)

2.1 General. The Contractor service requirements are summarized into performance objectives that relate directly to mission essential items. The performance threshold briefly describes the minimum acceptable levels of service required for each requirement. These thresholds are critical to mission success but do not represent all contract performance requirements. All contract performance requirements in this PWS will be monitored. IAW with Air Force Instruction (AFI) 63-138, the Government will conduct and submit Surveillance NLT the 5th work day of the following month, unless indicated elsewhere.

2.2 Performance Evaluation. Performance of a service shall be evaluated to determine whether or not it meets the performance requirements of this contract. Re-performance of unacceptable services at no additional cost is the preferred course of action when appropriate. In the case of issued Corrective Action Reports (CARs), the Contracting Officer shall take appropriate measures according to inspection of services clause in the contract, i.e., FAR 52.246-4, 52.246-5, or 52.212-4(a).
