Performance Work Statement Summary

This is a Performance Work Statement (PWS) for RSS Modification and Restoration for Fuselage Trainer Installation at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, dated 4 August 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 provide hands-on, high-fidelity training for more than 430 aircrew members. The RSS measures 34'1" in length, 19'7" in height with roof lights, and 61'7-7/16" in width, with a total volume of 32,088 cubic feet.

The contract is divided into two distinct phases. Phase One requires the contractor to remove a rear wall section of the RSS by 12 October 2026, including removal of roof caps, corner caps, sealant, electrical components, five structural insulated wall panels, and one horizontal i-beam. The contractor must coordinate with the 89th Airlift Wing to shut off utilities, construct a Limit of Disturbance fence, identify material storage locations, determine if crane requirements comply with FAA regulations, and seal the building to prevent weather damage. Phase Two, beginning 27 October 2026 following completion of the secondary contractor's fuselage installation (scheduled for 26 October 2026), requires reinstallation of all removed components, electrical systems restoration, structural inspection and testing, and final verification that the RSS is structurally sound and fully operational. The contractor must provide all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, and vehicles necessary to complete the work during standard business hours (6:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M., Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays). The government will furnish no equipment, fuel, personnel, utilities, or facilities except basic lifesaving measures in emergencies.

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).
