Contractors shall provide complete ADAIR services including; aircraft, pilots, aircraft maintenance, required support equipment, quality assurance/quality control, program, and contract management to meet Performance Work Statement (PWS) and Task Order requirements.

1.2. Within the framework of this PWS and any subsequent task orders written, a sortie is defined as a flight by one aircraft. A sortie begins when the aircraft begins to move forward on takeoff and ends after airborne flight when the aircraft returns to the surface. Each sortie provided under this PWS shall be approximately 90 minutes. ADAIR sorties shall integrate as part of the USAF Aggressor force in support of adversary air requirements and shall simulate non-western threat aircraft capabilities in an air-air environment.

1.3. The Contractor’s responsibilities shall consist of operating, maintaining, and performance of tactically-relevant aircraft for air-to-air tracking, targeting, and ADAIR operations; to include associated equipment systems that interface with various platforms and ground force personnel. Tactical profiles may include, Beyond

Visual Range (BVR) engagements, operational test support, dissimilar air combat maneuvers, offensive & defensive within visual range maneuvers, multi-ship tactics and merges and flight.

1.4. Top-Level Guidance and Policy.

1.4.1. The Government and contractor have a shared responsibility to ensure safe, standardized operations and maintenance plans/procedures, and ongoing airworthiness of aircraft. Section 21 of this PWS outlines specific applicable regulations.

1.4.2. Service Guidance. AFI 10-220 (DCMA 8210.1C) references to AFMC Supplements are waived for this contract. Wherever referenced, any AFI automatically includes any MAJCOM and Wing/Group supplement and, except where specifically stated in this PWS, contractors shall follow applicable MAJCOM supplements for the supported wing. Where specifically stated, contractors shall follow PWS prescribed supplements listed if servicing a different MAJCOM. When deployed to a site utilizing differing MAJCOM supplements, utilize the most restrictive guidance unless specifically cleared by the servicing GFR.

1.4.3. Conflict between Performance Work Statement and 14 CFR. For clarity, all references to the

Federal Aviation Regulation in this Performance Work Statement (PWS) shall be by reference to Title 14, Code of

Federal Regulations (CFR) and abbreviated with the acronym “14 CFR”. All references to the Federal Acquisition

Regulation shall be abbreviated with the acronym “FAR”. When the requirements of this PWS exceed the minimum requirements of 14 CFR, this PWS takes precedence. Definitions contained in 14 CFR Part 1 apply to all situations and conditions related to flight operations, aircraft maintenance, and flight crew certifications and qualifications, except as noted or defined otherwise herein.

1.4.4. Public Aircraft Operation. Contractors shall provide Contractor-Owned Contractor-Operated

Major alterations to aircraft with Restricted or Standard Airworthiness Certificates shall have been certified as airworthy and properly documented using FAA Form 337 signed in blocks 6 (Conformity) and 7 (Return to Service) by persons authorized under 14 CFR 43, and citing FAA Approved Data in block 8. For aircraft with Experimental

Airworthiness certificates, if the modification is a Major Change as defined by 14 CFR 21.93, provide the FAA's determination as to whether new operating limitations are required. Unless directed otherwise by the Government, the Contractor shall remove any major alteration incorporated before contract award that was not certified as airworthy by an appropriately rated FAA certified mechanic or repair station or, for Experimental Certificates, that does not have sufficient documentation to demonstrate that the modification meets the applicable civil, OEM, or military standards for the type of aircraft concerned.
