DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

ADVISORY NOTICE FOR CONFLICT IN COMMON TERMS

The following terms are standardized for this acquisition:

Combat Air Force (CAF) – Refers to combat coded squadrons and Formal Training

Units in all serviced MAJCOMs, as well as Tactical Air Control Party training venues.

CAF Contracted Air Support (CAF CAS) – Refers to this IDIQ, in its entirety with all associated pools.

CAF Adversary Air (CAF ADAIR) – Refers solely to those aircraft categories and contractors performing Adversary Air support.

Contracted Close Air Support (CCAS) – Refers solely to those aircraft categories and contractors performing Close Air Support (TACP Training) support.

Contract Administration Services (CAS) – Will not be utilized in these documents. If needed, this will be spelled out.

Close Air Support (CAS) – Will not be utilized in these documents. If needed, this will either be spelled out or referred to as “CCAS.”

Tactical Air Control Party (TACP) – Refers to all Joint Terminal Air Controller (JTAC) and Air Liaison Officer (ALO) CAS training venues.

1.0 SCOPE AND COMPLIANCE. The objective of the Combat Air Forces (CAF)

Contracted Air Support (CAS) acquisition is to obtain non-personal services to provide realistic advanced adversary air threats from industry Adversary Air (ADAIR) sources to support pilot combat readiness training and Contracted Close Air Support (CCAS) sorties in order to facilitate Tactical Air Control Party (TACP) training. Contractor ADAIR support is needed to support approximately 30,000 sorties annually in the CONUS, Alaska, and Hawaii initially however may expand within the Air Force and to other Departments within the DoD. CCAS support is currently needed to support approximately 10,000 sorties annually in the CONUS however may expand as well during the life of this acquisition. CAF CAS contractors will support multiple customers/locations across the CAF and shall provide complete CAS services including, but not limited to: aircraft; aircraft systems support; pilots; aircraft maintenance;

support equipment; program, quality and contract management to meet Performance Work

Statement (PWS) requirements.

1.1 Minimum Guarantee. Upon award of the IDIQ contract, the Government will issue an initial task order to satisfy the minimum guarantee to each of the IDIQ awardees. Performance under this initial task order/minimum guarantee award requires that Contractor obtain USAF

Airworthiness Flight Certification per PWS paragraph 1.6, and subparagraphs, for up to 12

ADAIR aircraft or 8 CCAS aircraft and must be completed within the first 12 months of IDIQ performance period.

1.2 Task Orders. Contractors awarded Task Orders shall provide complete CAF CAS services including, aircraft, aircraft systems support, aircraft maintenance, logistics, pilots, contract, and program management to meet Task Order PWS requirements. OL Task Order locations may expand in the future to support additional CAF CAS requirements. Contractor operations may be located on or off-base as required to best support the OLs. Initial Task Order locations, projected sorties, and projected Contractor operating beddown location are as identified below in Table A1.1.

1.2.1 Due to the flying hour quantity, cyclical nature, exercise support, or increased required level of support, some CAF CAS requirements are best suited to be met through a Contractor deployment capability versus a continual presence.

1.2.2 Scheduled versus Contracted Flying Hours. Contractor manning and presence must be of sufficient quantity to support the scheduled typical, maximum, and surge turn patterns. These turn patterns will be managed locally by each using wing, in coordination with the Government

Program Office (GPO), to close out each OL’s annual flying sorties at the end of that task order’s period of performance. The Contractor must assume and program for attrition between scheduled front lines and contracted flying hours in the pricing structures at all OLs to ensure the schedule front lines are covered, regardless of actual flown hours.

1.2.3 Each OL includes some temporary deployable support (normally 2 events). This support is absorbed into the total flying program by OL. Cost of deployment support is cost reimbursable and should not be included in the Contractor’s cost per flying hour planning.

1.2.4 Additional TDYs may be requested by the Government. Pricing for these additional

TDYs will be consistent with the Deployment CLIN and is based on a standard two-week TDY to provide a baseline 6 Turn 4 with the day being a 6 Turn 0.

Special AW certificates may include additional operational limitations beyond those documented in the technical data, which may impose requirements or limits on the operation and maintenance of the aircraft.

1.8 Conflict between PWS and 14 CFR. For clarity, all references to the Federal Aviation

Regulation in this PWS will be by reference to Title 14 CFR and abbreviated with the acronym

“14 CFR.” All references to the Federal Acquisition Regulation will 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.

1.9 Aircraft Modifications. The Contractor shall operate and maintain their aircraft, which possess standard certificates of airworthiness, using approved FAA data and procedures. The

Contractor shall install required modifications using 14 CFR type certification procedures or other FAA-approved methods. Contractor aircraft which do not conform to an approved type design, but require modifications, shall use the USAF airworthiness process and obtain approval from the USAF TAA.

1.10.2.5 Will normally be conducted in support of a line CAF ADAIR support sortie, but may be tasked as a dedicated effort when needed.

1.10.2.6 May be informed by and include any item of interest from any USAF SPO.

1.11 Spectrum Management. Contractors are responsible for obtaining radio frequency (RF) spectrum support for all commercial spectrum dependent systems (SDS) through the FCC. All approved FCC licenses must be coordinated through DoD Area Frequency Coordinators and presented to the host base installation frequency manager NLT 10 business days prior to transmitting. For SDS, FCC identification numbers/copy of FCC licenses must accompany coordination requests. If any military SDS equipment is used by the Contractor, the Contractor is responsible for ensuring the SDS equipment has been spectrum certified through the

National Telecommunication and Information Administration (NTIA) and radio frequency licenses must be obtained prior to operation. If military Identification, Friend, or Foe (IFF)

Employment (LFE))

3.3.24.1.2 Adequate for the investment.

Table A3.1a.

Notes:

* - See Definitions in Appendix M

1. See Appendix M for demanding/non-demanding sortie definitions. In addition, non-High-End pilots will fly in a supervised status

(with contract supervisor or IP) any time a non-demanding sortie is required.

2. Re-currency supervision level will be the contract supervisor or instructor, in the aircraft or chase, qualified and current in the Event.

3. Supervision will be the contract supervisor or instructor, qualified and current in the event.

4. Currency may be updated with performing the event in any fighter type aircraft flown while in DoD service, by Contractor servicing any DoD contract, or Contractor produced in-house training line.

5. Demanding Sortie currency is required for supporting High-End Venues. To regain currency, contract pilot must first have ACBT currency, then a demanding sortie in a low-end environment prior to flying in a high-end environment.

6. LOWAT – Event is defined as performing realistic, mission oriented air-to-air operations while in a LOWAT certified low altitude block (at or below 1000 ft AGL over land). Event includes skills necessary to seek out, and engage offensively, an aerial target at low altitude. This event also includes low altitude navigation, tactical formation, defensive maneuvering to avoid or negate threats. LOWAT currency is not required if supporting an operating location that cannot or does not maintain a LOWAT currency below 1,000’ AGL.

However, LOWAT must be regained if tasked to deploy to a location where it will be required.

7. Currency is required in the pilots low altitude category for operations below 1000 feet. Loss of currency requires pilots to operate above 1000’ AGL.
