MISSION OBJECTIVE

The 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 combating narcoterrorism worldwide.

SCOPE

The scope of this Task Order (T/O) is to provide Afghanistan-based contracted flight training services in support of the Afghan National Security Forces’ (ANSF) Special Operations Forces (SOF) (of the Special Mission Wing (SMW)) at Kabul International Airport, Afghanistan. Key aspects of the training requirements include delivery of PC-12/47E aircrew training and related services for pilots and mission systems operators (MSOs). There are options to provide PC-12/47E aircraft and training devices to support executed training courses; PC-12/47E aircraft contractor logistics support (CLS) services; PC-12/47E maintenance training; and other directed training courses.

2.1 Task Order Objective

The T/O objective is to provide ANSF SOF SMW personnel with the necessary knowledge and skills to perform their particular specialty through a course or courses of instruction with minimal supervision. Upon graduation from each course, the graduate shall be competent to perform their particular specialty, to include all tasks contained therein.

2.2 Background and Overview

An assessment of ANSF SOF aviation requirements identified a need for additional aviation assets and capabilities to meet critical operational needs. To meet these operational needs, the ANSF SOF SMW will conduct airborne operations to include 1) intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), 2) casualty evacuation (CASEVAC), 3) air mobility, and 4) combat service support (CSS) in support of counterterrorism (CT), counternarcotics (CN), and other special operations. The Pilatus PC-12/47E aircraft has been selected to execute both the training and operational ANSF SOF aviation missions. The USG will eventually provide all required aircraft. It is anticipated that the delivery of the GFE aircraft will begin on or about September 15, 2013, with one delivered each month after that for the next 18 months. In the event that there is a delay in delivery of the aircraft, the USG may exercise an option that will authorize the contractor to provide aircraft needed for any training classes within the base effort along with any training options exercised at that time. The Contractor is responsible for providing, as a minimum, initial qualification training (IQT) for aircrews, including pilots and MSOs.

The desired end state for the Base training effort is to graduate a cadre of pilots qualified for day and night PC-12/47E operations in visual meteorological conditions (VMC) and instrument meteorological conditions (IMC); a cadre of MSOs with initial qualification in the mission area of ISR; and familiarization with 1) CASEVAC operations, 2) air mobility, including small bundle airdrop, and 3) Combat Service Support (CSS).

2.3 Basic Contract References

This T/O 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; 4.3.2.9 Training; 4.3.2.10 Conveyance Purchase, Refurbishment, Leasing, Operation, and Support (Aircraft, vehicle, vessels); 4.3.3 Professional and Executive Support; 4.3.3.1 Professional, Management, Administrative and Program Support.
