SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION
1.1. Purpose.
This Performance Work Statement (PWS) identifies the scope of the Airfield Management Services
(AMS) to be provided for Sheppard Air Force Base (SAFB). This PWS is a performance-based document that describes the performance requirements and expectations to successfully provide AMS.
Specific methods for meeting these requirements are not specified in the PWS. However, this document identifies the administrative, operational and technical responsibilities and performance requirements that will form the basis for this contract. The term “Service Provider” (SP) is used herein to represent the contractor. The SP shall exercise management and operational control over and assume full responsibility for performance set forth in this PWS.
1.2. Performance Goals. The performance goals in providing AMS are to:
Ensure availability of airfield infrastructure, facilities and services that permit safe, efficient and effective aircraft and flight operations for SAFB.
Ensure safe ground vehicle operations and pedestrian control on SAFB owned and/or operated airfields. Personnel required to drive on the airfield must be knowledgeable of and comply with the procedures outlined in AFI 13-213 and locally developed Airfield Driving Instruction (ADI).
Ensure quality services are accomplished, maintained and delivered in the performance of AMS
Provide for the capability to receive and deliver timely and accurate flight information to support safe and efficient flight operations
Provide quality aircrew services and facilities as they relate to mission/flight planning, en-route, terminal, and post phases of flight activates
SECTION 2: BACKGROUND
2.1. AMS Mission Statement. The USAF Agile Combat Support (ACS) Concept of Operations
(CONOPS) is the foundational CONOPS that provides the support foundation and integration for the
United States Air Force (USAF) operational CONOPS. Within the construct of ACS CONOPS, Airfield
Management (AM) is identified as a functional capability. The desired effect of ACS is to provide the combat support required for worldwide operations across the full Range of Military Operations (ROMO).
To effectively employ air power, a joint force commander must ensure the safe and expeditious operation of aircraft with reliable and effective AMS both in a fixed-base and expeditionary environment. AM is a functional capability that enables both the projection and sustainment of aviation capability. The ability to provide assured AMS to aircraft is vital. The mission of Air Force (AF) AM is to facilitate the safe, orderly, and expeditious launch and recovery of tactical and strategic aircraft and to assist in enhancing the war fighter capabilities. To support national objectives, the AF provides AMS to U.S. and allied aircraft with experienced AM personnel to oversee the management and operations of the airfield and its various infrastructures and to provide and facilitate flight data information through the national and international airspace systems. The personnel who provide oversight and management of airfields, aircraft flight following, flight information transference, and flight planning is an integral part of the airfield operations and support functional area.
2.2. AMS Description. For AF airfields, overall management is primarily the responsibility of the
Airfield Manager (AFM). The AFM accomplishes this responsibility with the help of personnel identified as Assistant Airfield Manager (AAFM), Airfield Management Operations Manager (AMOM), Airfield Management Training Manager (AMTM), Airfield Management Shift Lead (AMSL) and Airfield
Management Operations (AMOPS) personnel. The AFM, AAFM, and AMOM are dedicated positions to ensure there is no interference in the accomplishment of the positions' specific duties as outlined in this
PWS. The AFM and AAFM shall not be used for duel positions. The AMOM shall be used on the counter only for emergency manning situations (leave, sick call or appointments). The AM function, by its very nature, requires knowledge of, and interaction with many different functional areas that are essential to performing their duties within the airfield environment. To maintain a safe, efficient and effective airfield, AM must assure precise synergy of all airfield operations, maintenance and service support efforts. A complete understanding of the flying mission, aircraft characteristics, airfield criteria/standards, civil engineer/safety AF Instructions, aircraft maintenance support, impact of weather on operations and the effect of various support activities on flight operations is required.
2.3. AMS at Sheppard AFB. Airfield Support is a service dedicated to providing professional, safe, and effective airfield operations supporting the 82nd Training Wing (82 TRW), the 80th Flying Training
Wing (80 FTW), the Euro-NATO Joint Jet Pilot Training Program (ENJJPT), Sheppard Air Force Base
(SAFB), and the USAF leased properties of Frederick Regional Airport (KDFR). The SP shall interact and foster a good working relationship with the local community and civilian agencies located at the
Wichita Falls Regional Airport to include the Airport Manager, Assistant Airport Manager, commercial air carriers, Fixed-Base Operator (FBO), civilian pilots, and with the Frederick Regional Airport
Manager. Aircrews and their aircraft are the most important customers, and the airfield and Airfield
Management Operations are the first impression of the base for many visitors. It is critical the airfield be kept at a very high state of readiness at all time and present a neat and orderly appearance. Both SAFB and Frederick Regional Airport must be properly maintained, examined, and inspected to guarantee military and civilian customers a safe operating environment. Airfield support activities must be conducted in strict compliance with Department of Defense (DoD), USAF, and Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) standards mandating safety requirements for military air operations. Periodically accommodate priority airfield operations by opening the airfield early and/or closing the airfield late.
The SP will ensure employees meet the training qualification and prior experience requirements of this
PWS, and in accordance with (IAW) Air Force Instruction (AFI) 13-204 Volume 1, Airfield Operations
Career Field Development and Volume 3, Airfield Operations Procedures and Program. AM personnel must possess required knowledge, skills, and abilities to effectively manage and inspect the airfield environment for safety and compliance with established AF, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) or North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) planning and design criteria.
2.4. Services. The services identified under this contract were derived from a functional review of the services routinely provided by active duty, guard, reserve and incumbent AMS SPs in accordance with guidance prescribed in AFI 13-204 Volume 1, Volume 2, Airfield Operations Standardization and
Evaluations, Volume 3, and AFI 13-213, Airfield Driving. The SP is expected to adhere to all supplements, changes, and amendments to governing directives. The services and the associated executable actions as they are currently performed originate from these publications. These, as well as publications in Appendix B of this document, are a standard developed and approved by HQ AF Flight
Standards Agency, Director, Airfield and Air Traffic Control (ATC) Standards for SPs use when considering proposals to delivering services according to this contract. The SP will be tasked routinely by the Contracting Officer Representative (COR), Functional Commander (FC), and/or Airfield Operations
Flight Commander (AOF/CC) to provide answers to checklist information. At times, urgent tasking may warrant a shorter deadline due to mission needs.
2.5. Customers. The SP shall provide AMS, as specified in this contract, during 80 FTW flying hours and after duty hours in support of, but not limited to, base assigned/transient military aircraft, distinguished visitors (DV), emergency medical aircraft, weather diverted civilian commuters, as required, and contingency aircraft dispersal. Services provided outside of published hours shall be completed only with FC approval (Amendment 1).
