SECTION 1

DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

1.0 Introduction.

1.1 Scope of Work. FMS tactics employment manual production will constitute the bulk of this contract. The Contractor will provide all personnel, supervision, equipment, tools, materials, and services necessary to develop and produce as needed Foreign Military Sales (FMS) Tactics Employment Manuals and select Air Force Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (AFTTP) manuals for the United States Air Force, as defined in this Performance Work Statement (PWS), except as specified as “government furnished.”

1.1.1 AFTTP manuals are divided into two series: predominately classified Tactical Employment, known as the AFTTP 3-1 series; and predominately unclassified Combat Fundamentals, known as the AFTTP 3-3 series. The 561st Joint Tactics Squadron (JTS) at Nellis AFB, NV, produces the AFTTP 3-1 & 3-3 tactics manual series and is the agency responsible for executing this CSAF directive. The AFTTP 3-1 & 3-3 series volumes are produced using Adobe Acrobat, Adobe FrameMaker, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, and other support software.

1.1.2 CSAF Directive. The Chief of Staff of the AF directed that USAF tactical employment doctrine be released to our allied nations (ref. Guidelines for Disclosure of USAF Tactics and Capabilities, 21 Aug 2009). The primary means to accomplish this tasking is to edit existing USAF tactical doctrine, known as AFTTP manuals, into a product suitable for foreign release.

1.1.3 Current 561 JTS tasking, workload and schedule preclude government production of foreign employment doctrine and selected out-of-cycle USAF tactics manuals. It is in the best interest of the United States Air Force to outsource these additional production requirements to a qualified contractor.

1.2 Contractor Qualifications.

1.2.1 Subject Matter Expert (SME) with experience and expert knowledge as a rated aviator(s), preferably USAFWS graduate(s), specializing in Joint/Combined aerial operations and the application of aerial tactics.

1.2.1.1 Current work experience (last 5 years) working with Joint/Combined military airpower doctrine, aerial weapons capabilities, and aerial weapon systems capabilities.

1.2.1.2 Possess and maintain a current DoD Security Clearance at the SECRET level or higher (verifiable through the Joint Personnel Adjudication System [JPAS]).

1.2.1.3 Obtain a common access card (CAC) within 10 days of the contract award to permit use of the Nellis AFB SIPRNET and NIPRNET.

1.2.1.4 Possess current, verifiable USAF Information Assurance training within 15 days of contract award.

1.2.1.5 Possess expert proficiency (knowledge and ability) to use Adobe FrameMaker, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, and Adobe Acrobat Professional for desktop publishing on any computer operating system.

1.2.6 Demonstrated, verifiable performance in editing and producing classified and unclassified technical-military documents.

1.2.7 Provide systematic process for final tactics manual review and acceptance by the designated government officials.

1.3 FMS Manual Production

1.3.2 FMS tactics manual - background. The goal is to provide allied nation(s) with current tactics in phase with the USAF’s tactics manuals two-year revision cycle. The USAF tactics manuals are weapons system-specific, while FMS manuals are mission- specific. The primary FMS missions are: Air-to Surface (A/S), Air-to-Air (A/A), Multi-Role, Command and Control (C2), Airlift, Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR), Special Operations, Air Refueling (A/R), Tactical Air Control, Joint Terminal Air Controller (JTAC), Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR), Information Operations (IO), and Maintenance (MX). FMS manuals are not limited to these missions only.

1.3.2.1 The Secretary of the Air Force, International Affairs division (SAF/IA) establishes foreign disclosure policy, which in turn impacts the Contractor’s editing/production process. Each allied nation’s FMS tactics manual is subject to a unique editing signature based on SAF/IA disclosure guidelines (provided to the Contractor) and the unique equipment, avionics, and weapons system suite purchased by that allied nation. In addition to SAF/IA-provided disclosure guidance and a country-specific equipment list, the Contractor will produce tactics manuals based on their independent research of the purchasing nation’s current and unique tactics, weapons and systems capabilities.

1.3.3 Four documents will be generated per country in each revision cycle: a Basic Employment Manual (BEM), an Advanced Employment Manual (AEM), a Mission Planning Manual (MPM), and an FMS Summary Document. The BEM will mirror the unclassified mission tactics of AFTTP 3-3, Combat Fundamentals Manual. The AEM will mirror the classified mission tactics of AFTTP 3-1, Tactical Employment Manual. The MPM will mirror the classified AFTTP 3-1.General Planning and Employment Considerations manual and AFTTP 3-1.Shot/Kill manual. The FMS Summary Document will be created by producing a first draft manual for a specific country using the baseline manual and will only be created for the startup category, as delineated in section 1.4.

1.3.3.1 The Air Force will provide the Contractor the most current published FrameMaker formatted version of the respective AFTTP volume for FMS conversion. Editable files provided will include: all text, layered graphics and animation files. Provided files will be configured in production ready format (complete and template-based FrameMaker book files (*.book) with working embedded intra-chapter and inner-chapter links, tables, figures, animation, videos, and external links) as well as all support files comprised in the composition of the final booked volume. AFTTP volumes provided will be thoroughly vetted and rendered free of common spelling and grammatical errors prior to release to the Contractor.

1.3.4 The Contractor will deliver to the 561 JTS upon conversion completion: all FMS source files, to include illustrations, lists, graphics and animations for all manuals they produce.

1.3.5 The Contractor will develop and implement a Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) to ensure quality and timely performance of PWS taskings. The final QASP will be submitted to the Contracting Officer for acceptance within 30 days after contract award.

1.3.6 Production timelines for this contract will be measured from the date of official notification (DON), which begins when the Contractor is notified by the Contracting Officer that a line item delineated in the contract is to be executed. If a production deadline falls on a weekend or official government holiday, the deadline will be moved to the next government workday. FMS manuals will be grouped into two categories, Start-Up Volumes and Follow-On Volumes.

1.4 FMS Start-Up Volumes.

1.4.1 Definition. Start-up volumes are defined as the first time the Contractor has to edit a tactics document for a given mission or country grouping. A Contractor’s task will fall under Start-Up category when:

· Using a newly updated tactics manual such as the AFTTP 3-1/3-3 manual (which typically occurs every two years), or

· Developing the series for the first time for a specific mission type as determined by 561 JTS, or

· Developing the series for the first country of a given country grouping, as determined by SAF/IA.

1.4.2 Start-Up Volumes, Preparation: The 561 JTS will assemble paper and electronic copies of the current AFTTP 3-1, General Planning and Employment Considerations, AFTTP 3-1, Tactical Employment, and/or AFTTP 3-3, Combat Fundamentals manuals; assemble country-grouping disclosure guidance from SAF/IAPD, and provide an updated country equipment list to the Contractor. In conjunction with 561 JTS-provided materials, the Contractor is responsible for conducting independent research to include: contacting the equipment manufacturer; reviewing and incorporating current information sources; and assembling and reading all Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) manuals and user handbooks on country-specific equipment, avionics systems, and weapons system capabilities, if necessary.

1.4.3 Start-Up Volumes, Production: Basic Employment Manual (Draft). The Contractor will produce the manual by editing all text, figures, tables, and videos and apply country-unique equipment, avionics/weapons configurations, and SAF/IAPD foreign disclosure guidance. The Contractor will also review all figures and tables and remark/redraw if needed. The Contractor will then produce a draft BEM in Adobe FrameMaker convert to a portable document file (.pdf), and deliver a draft CD/DVD-ROM to the 561 JTS for review by DON + 35 business days.

1.4.4 Start-Up Volumes, Production: Advanced Employment Manual (Draft). The Contractor will produce the manual by editing all text, figures, tables, and videos and apply country-unique equipment, avionics/weapons configurations, and SAF/IAPD foreign disclosure guidance. The Contractor will also review all figures and tables and remark/redraw if needed. The Contractor will then produce a draft AEM in Adobe Frame Maker, convert to a (.pdf) file, and deliver a draft CD/DVD-ROM to the 561 JTS for review by DON + 35 business days.

1.4.5 Start-Up Volumes, Production: Mission Planning Manual (Draft). The Contractor will produce the manual by editing all text, figures, tables, and videos and apply country-unique equipment, avionics/weapons configurations, and SAF/IAPD foreign disclosure guidance. The Contractor will also review all figures and tables and remark/redraw if needed. The Contractor will then produce a draft BEM in Adobe Frame Maker, convert to a (.pdf) file, and deliver a draft CD/DVD-ROM to the 561 JTS for review by DON + 35 business days.

1.4.6 Produce: FMS Summary Document (Draft). The 561 JTS reviews draft start-up copies of the BEM, AEM, and MPM and provides the Contractor with any necessary inputs. The Contractor will then incorporate 561 JTS inputs into the draft manuals. These master draft manuals in (.pdf) format will serve as the summary document. These files will be maintained by the 561 JTS and will not be delivered to the FMS customer. The Contractor will deliver a CD/DVD-ROM to the 561 JTS by DON + 40 days.

1.4.7 Produce Final Copies of Start-Up Volumes: Basic Employment Manual, Advanced Employment Manual, Mission Planning Manuals. The Contractor will consolidate all changes required by the government in the production of final copies. The Contractor will import final text drafts, graphics and tables into FrameMaker, and convert the documents into individual (.pdf) files. In addition, the Contractor will ensure the acronym and glossary lists are current, and that all CD/DVD-ROM multi-media functions (e.g., hotlinks, videos, and animations) are operational. The Contractor will produce 10 final copies of the BEM, AEM, and MPM into CD/DVD-ROM; produce one color two-sided hard (paper) copy of the BEM, AEM and MPM for mailing per SAF/IAPD direction; and deliver the products to the 561 JTS by DON+120 business days.

1.5 FMS Follow-On Volumes.

The Contractor will create a tactics manual series for an ally with the same mission and same country disclosure grouping as the start-up series. Follow-on tasks generate a similar editing/production signature, thus allowing the Contractor to use the start-up series already produced as a building block. For example, the first country requesting an A/S tactics manual would fall under a start-up task. If a second, or subsequent country, also requests to purchase an A/S tactics manual and falls within the same disclosure release category as the first country, the task will fall within the follow-on category. The ensuing description of the follow-on series is identical to the start-up series, except that the Contractor will be using the FMS start-up series as a baseline, rather than the 561 JTS AFTTP 3-1/3 manuals.

1.5.2 Follow-On Volumes, Preparation. The Contractor will assemble paper and electronic copies of the appropriate start-up country volumes. The 561 JTS will provide the Contractor an updated country equipment list and any additional country-specific disclosure guidance set forth by SAF/IAPD.

The government will furnish or make available property, facilities (approximately 1600 square feet of workspace), furniture, a Secure Terminal Equipment (STE) telephone, and NIPRNET/SIPRNET connectivity to the contractor to support this contract. Modifications to minimum requirements may be available based upon workload, as determined by the 561 JTS Program Manager (PM). Government facilities have been inspected for compliance with the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA). No hazards have been identified for which work-around has been established. Compliance with the OSHA and other applicable laws and regulations for the protection of employees is exclusively the obligation of the contractor. Further, the government will assume no liability or responsibility for the contractor’s compliance or noncompliance with such requirement, with the exception of the aforementioned requirement to make corrections according to approved plans of abatement subject to base-wide priorities. No alterations to the facilities will be made without specific written permission from the contracting officer. In the case of alterations necessary for compliance with OSHA, such permission will not be unreasonably withheld. The contractor will return the facilities to the government in the same condition as received, fair wear and tear and approved modifications excepted. These facilities will only be used to perform US Government-related work in accordance with this PWS.

3.2.1 Property Inventory. An inventory of Government-Furnished Property (GFP) (furniture, STE telephone, computers and associated infrastructure) must be done no later than 5 calendar days after the start of the contract, 30 calendar days prior to the start of any option periods, and not later than 30 calendar days before completion of the contract period (including any option periods). The contractor and a government representative (identified by the contracting officer) will conduct a joint inventory of all GFP and the contractor will sign a receipt for all property provided by the government. The inventory list is maintained at the 561 JTS. Items of property missing or not in working order will be recorded and the contracting officer notified in writing. The contractor and the COR will jointly determine the working order and condition of all property and document their findings on the inventory. In the event of disagreement between the contractor and the COR on the working order and condition of property, the disagreement will be treated as a dispute under the disputes clause.
