This is a Performance Work Statement for RSS Modification and Restoration for Fuselage Trainer Installation at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, dated 29 June 2026.

The 89th Airlift Wing requires contractor support to modify an existing Relocatable Simulator Shelter (RSS #2) to accommodate the installation of fuselage trainers that will provide hands-on, high-fidelity training for more than 430 aircrew members. The project will be executed in two phases. Phase 1 requires the contractor to remove roof caps, corner caps, and sealant; disconnect electrical from the rear door and receptacles; remove five structural insulated wall panels; and remove one horizontal i-beam by 12 October 2026. A secondary contractor will then install fuselages within the modified RSS, with completion targeted for 26 October 2026. Phase 2 requires the original contractor to reinstall the i-beam, wall panels, electrical connections, roof caps, corner caps, and sealant, beginning 27 October 2026, and to inspect and test the structure to ensure it is structurally sound and functioning properly. The contractor must provide all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, and vehicles necessary to complete the work. Performance shall occur during standard hours (6:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M., Monday through Friday, excluding Federal Holidays) unless coordinated otherwise with the Contracting Officer. All contractor personnel must comply with Joint Base Andrews security requirements, including proper identification documentation for U.S. citizens and non-U.S. citizens, and weapons prohibitions. The Government will provide no equipment, fuel, personnel, utilities, or facilities for contract execution.

1 DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES:

The 89AW executes a no-fail executive airlift mission that depends on a highly trained and continuously qualified aircrew force, requiring robust and realistic training capabilities to sustain readiness for more than 430 aircrew members. To support this mission, the Wing is procuring fuselage trainers that provide hands-on, high-fidelity training essential for safe and effective aircrew operations. These trainers must be installed within an existing Relocatable Simulator Shelter (RSS) on the installation; however, due to the size and configuration of the equipment, temporary structural modification of an RSS is required to allow delivery and placement.

Contractor support is therefore necessary to remove a wall section to facilitate installation by the fuselage trainer manufacturer and to restore the RSS to its original, fully functional condition upon completion. The contractor shall provide all required personnel, equipment, tools, materials, vehicles, supervision, and services necessary to perform RSS Modification and Restoration for Fuselage Trainer Installation on Joint Base Andrews (JBA). Performance shall be in accordance with all applicable laws, standards, instructions, executive orders, commercial practices, and requirements contained in this Performance Work Statement (PWS).
