This includes maintaining the AFCEC Readiness Directorate, Requirements and Acquisition Division (AFCEC/CXA) test ranges and facilities (i.e., Bldg. 1117, facilities in the 9700 area, AFCEC fire research area at Silver Flag, test ranges, and other facilities managed by AFCEC at Tyndall Air Force Base (TAFB), FL; to include occupants assigned to these facilities by AFCEC and/or aiding organizations with AFCEC support agreements. All work performed by the contractor shall be performed in accordance with all applicable laws, regulations, Air Force (AF) standards and policies, instructions, and commercial practices.
1.1. SCOPE:
1.1.1. To provide baseline operational support for AFCEC/CXA at TAFB, FL and any TDYs associated with such work. In addition, this support shall include maintaining a baseline operational capability to support AFCEC/CXA projects and special events.
1.1.2. The PWS addresses the provision of contractor services when the government is in garrison during Normal (Steady State) Operations and when operating in an emergency mode in preparation for or in response to significant weather events and when returning from those emergency situations to Normal (Steady State) Operations.
1.1.3. The PWS provides operations support for AFCEC operations for facilities, projects and events as described in PWS para 1.2 and its subsequent subparagraphs. Projects and events include AFCEC ACS RDT&E, APE team, and other projects and events on TAFB, FL.
AFCEC ACS RDT&E includes infrastructure protection, airfield damage repair, and energy/utilities capabilities for continuous airfield operations. Infrastructure protection includes research, development and transition of passive protection technologies for sustaining airfield operations and assets that encounter weapons munitions attacks, unexploded ordnance (UXO), and aircraft and structural fires. Also, it encompasses research and development of resilient, sustainable solutions for expeditionary bases and across the USAF enterprise, including those for energy, utilities, and associated protection solutions.
Airfield damage repair includes developing, testing, and certifying equipment, materials, and Tactics Techniques and Protocols for the rapid assessment and repair of airfield damage; identification and mitigation of UXO; and expedient repairs for fuel and utility systems. The contractor is required to provide input to the design, or draft the design themselves, receive requestor approval, and then fabricate or modify ACS test instrumentation, equipment, test structures and articles, scale models, prototypes, and other existing items.
1.1.4. Changes to real property will be coordinated with and approved by base civil engineering (CE) before minor construction activities occur using the AF Form 332 process.
A government-provided work order system will be used to assign, prioritize, and track work orders. A government representative will manage the work order system and will assign tasks and determine prioritization of work. The Contractor shall use this system to accomplish required work specified in this contract. Overtime may be required to accomplish high-priority, quick-turn work.
1.2. REQUIREMENT:
The objective is to acquire a full range of operations services to support the facilities and projects that are the responsibility of or associated with AFCEC at TAFB. Associated activities can include support for visiting teams and support for TAFB base activities.
