FOR THE MEXICAN FEDERAL POLICE (SSP)

TORP 0280

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

06 FEBRUARY 2013

1.0 MISSION OBJECTIVE.

The Department of Defense (DoD) Counter Narcoterrorism Program Office (CNTPO) was established to create Counter Narcoterrorism Technology (CNT) networks, infrastructure, and capabilities worldwide that are focused on the detection, identification, and disruption of narcoterrorist activities and organizations. This task effort will support the War Fighter in the combating of Narcoterrorism worldwide.

2.0 SCOPE.

2.1. Task Order Objective.

The objective is to provide a Flight Training System for UH-60L and UH-60M Black Hawk Helicopters to the Government of Mexico (GOM). This satisfies a critical training shortfall in the Mexican Federal Police (SSP) associated with equipment previously transferred by the United States Government (USG) under the Bilateral Merida Initiative to the GOM. This training system will be used to conduct institutional and new equipment training to include UH-60L/M Aircrew Training Manual (ATM) standard tasks allowing UH-60L/M aircrews to maintain aircrew operational proficiency, provide a realistic environment for training mission readiness skills, and operational mission rehearsals.

2.2. Basic Contract Reference.

This PWS establishes the requirements for the contractor to provide support in the Basic Contract task area(s) of: 4.3.2 Training, Operations, and Logistics support; 4.3.2.7 Logistics Support and Equipment; and 4.3.3.4 Material and Equipment Purchase.

2.3. Basic Performance Requirements.

The contractor shall provide all the labor and materials necessary to procure, install, and provide instruction on a Flight Training System for the UH-60L and UH-60M Black Hawk Helicopters.

· The equipment and operating software shall be transferred to the GOM in accordance with U.S. Foreign Assistance Act Regulations.

· All deliverables shall be export compliant and all customs, licensing, and ITAR requirements are the sole responsibility of the contractor.

· The Flight Training System shall be delivered to the U.S. Embassy Narcotics Affairs Section Mexico at the Federal Police Primary Training Center in Mexico City, Mexico.

3.0 PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS.

3.1. Procurement and Installation.

The Flight Training System shall be procured in accordance with the attached Flight Training System Detailed Specifications (D-SPEC) identified in Attachment A. The contractor shall install and provide proposed spare parts for delivery to the US Embassy Mexico Narcotics Affairs Section for further transfer to the SSP. Proposed spare parts shall be based on the contractor’s knowledge of the system. In addition to the Attachment A specifications the system shall include:

· A reconfigurable student station replicating either the UH-60L or UH-60M cockpits that shall take no longer than eight (8) hours to reconfigure.

· An acceptance evaluation in accordance with Federal Aviation Regulations Part 60 Appendix C (Qualification Performance Standards for Helicopter Full Flight Simulators).

· Installation in a GOM structure at the SSP Primary Training Center in Mexico City, Mexico.

3.2. Training and Logistics Support.

3.2.1. Instructor and Operator Orientation Course.

The contractor shall provide Flight Training System Instruction, Operation Orientation Instruction, and Simulator Maintenance Instruction through a combination of classroom, written instructions, and hands-on experience. Timeframe and location of training will be determined in conjunction with the USG and its end user. Assume the instruction will occur at the facility in Mexico City after the system has passed certification.

The training and course materials will be provided in Latin American Spanish, OEM or other Department of State (DoS) approved format, and will consist of an outline, syllabus, schedule, student guide, instructor guide (Program of Instruction), PowerPoint presentation, and test package.

The course shall be approximately forty (40) instructional hours in length and accommodate up to ten (10) students. As a minimum, the Instructor and Operator Orientation shall include the following:

· Provide familiarization training for instructors already qualified in the UH-60L/M aircraft to include the concepts, skills, and aptitude to efficiently operate the system.

· Provide familiarization with simulator operating techniques and emphasize the utilization of the Flight Training System’s instructional systems, functions, and controls.

· Address the physical and functional descriptions and operation of the equipment including features, advantages, and configurations.

· The contractor shall utilize a criterion-referenced performance test to measure the student’s ability to perform all job-related competencies.

3.2.2. Logistic Support.

The contractor shall provide one (1) year of Contractor Logistics Support (CLS), including a detailed work plan to be executed during the CLS period of performance to transition the logistics responsibility to the SSP after adequate personnel are fully trained. The Contracting Officer will notify the contractor when this effort officially commences.

3.3. Option A: System Enhancements.

The contractor shall provide enhancements based on “real world” mission experiences. Additional enhancements may be added as mutually agreed by the USG and contractor. Potential enhancements may include:

· Geo-specific databases for three (3) selected areas of Mexico. The databases shall be detailed representations of selected areas of Mexico. Actual scene detail and content shall be determined during database development user conferences.

· A networkable Computer Generated Battlefield environment linked to existing simulators to provide a realistic mission rehearsal and planning (example: the possibility of future linking with U.S. Army and USAF UH-60 Simulators).

· Sensor and/or weapons and countermeasures to provide training for self-protection and mission rehearsal.

This option may be incrementally exercised at the discretion of the Government. For proposal preparation and contract ceiling establishment, assume $2M for system enhancements, inclusive of fee. Assume 20/80 split between labor and ODCs/materials. Travel is not envisioned, but will be adjusted once a requirement is identified. The Government anticipates identifying specific scenarios for the contractor to develop based on emerging field requirements. If the Government validates the requirement and decides to take action, the Contracting Officer will incrementally exercise this option and provide a Technical Directive (TD) defining the specific requirement. The contractor shall review the TD to ensure requirement clarity and shall provide a brief execution approach that includes the definition of labor, materials, ODCs, travel, and all other costs necessary to satisfy the requirement. Once agreed to, the option will be exercised and the TD incorporated into the contract. TDs shall be individually tracked and the status reported in the monthly Contractor Progress Report (CDRL A003). The contractor shall track the start date, completion date, awarded price, actual costs to date, and other information relevant to the TD that may impact the execution of the proposed approach or price awarded for the TD. The execution of TDs shall not result in a change to scope, intent, or the estimated price set forth in the contract.
