SECTION A

DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

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

Contracted Air Support (CAS) program 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 Joint Terminal Attack Controller (JTAC) training. Contractor ADAIR support is needed to support approximately 30,000 sorties annually in the CONUS, Alaska, and Hawaii initially however it may expand within the Air Force and to other Departments within the DoD.

CCAS is currently needed to support approximately 10,000 sorties annually in the CONUS however may expand as well during the life of this program. CAF CAS contractors shall 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. For the purpose of this PWS, the term “CAF” refers to the

“Combat Air Forces” for all DoD branches, unless cited directly in context to a single DoD branch.

1.1. TASK ORDER 1 SCOPE AND COMPLIANCE. This PWS pertains to performance needed in the Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Multi-Award Contract (MAC) required for program management across the enterprise. Elements contained herein are retained for reference of performance required at the Operating Location (OL) Task Order

(TO) level needed for the contractor to produce Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL) items needed at the IDIQ. Actual performance on Task Order 1 pertains only to those program management functions required to manage the enterprise.

1.2. Minimum Guarantee. Upon award of the Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (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 the Contractor to perform program management functions needed to complete all Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL) deliveries at the IDIQ level. Invoicing for the minimum guarantee is tied to delivery of CDRL 15 (Security Plan) to initiate follow-on contractor to Government security discussions per PWS Section D, paragraph 1.2.

1.3. 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. Operating

Location (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.

1.3.1. Task Order 1 Performance. Contractors shall:

1.3.1.1. Make ready and provide a minimum of 12 (ADAIR) and/or 8 (CCAS) aircraft which meet aircraft systems attributes for performance characteristics detailed in Appendix I and J, for competition at the task order level.

1.3.1.2. Provide program management for delivery of CDRLs 2 (AADP), 12 (CTRS), 13 (Technology Validation Plan) and 15 (Security Plan) following IDIQ MAC award.

1.3.1.3. Provide for program management for delivery of all other CDRLs required per

Appendix B, at contractor’s discretion.

1.3.2. 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 Temporary Duty (TDY) capability versus a continual presence.

1.3.3. Scheduled Flying versus Aircraft Committed to the Schedule. Contractor provided aircraft shall be of sufficient quantity to support the scheduled typical, maximum, and surge turn patterns. These turn patterns will be managed locally by each using OL via the OL GFR, in coordination with the Government Program Office (GPO), to close out each OL’s annual flying sorties by the end of that task order’s period of performance. The Contractor shall assume and program for attrition (operations, weather, and maintenance) in the pricing structures to ensure the schedule front lines are covered, regardless of number of Contractor aircraft committed to the schedule.

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

1.3.5. (ADAIR) Additional TDY may be requested by the Government. TDY requests will be for a standard two-week TDY (five operations days per week) to provide a baseline 6 Turn

4, with the final day providing a 6 Turn 0. TDY’s may be a day/day turn or day/night turn depending on supported venue. Government may deviate from this standard baseline for unique requirements, but will address support on these venues individually.

1.3.6. (CCAS) Additional TDYs may be requested by the Government, but will address requested support on these venues individually.

1.4. Compliance Documents. Appendix C, Publications and Forms, lists all compliance guidance. When referenced as advisory guidance, the document may be further refined in this

PWS, be levied via Flight Operations Procedures/Ground Operations Procedures (FOP/GOP) approval, or may regulate the way a Government entity operates, with whom the Contractor must integrate. The Contractor shall utilize and adhere to these documents, updates or revisions thereto, in satisfying the performance requirements of this PWS. The applicable version of each document provided is current as of the effective date of the solicitation.

1.5. Service Guidance. DCMA INST 8210.1C, Change 1 (AFI 10-220) references to Air

Force Material Command (AFMC) Supplements are waived for this contract. Wherever referenced, Air Force Instructions (AFIs) automatically include any MAJCOM and

Wing/Group supplement and, except where specifically stated in this PWS, Contractors shall follow applicable MAJCOM supplements for the host OL. 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 approved by the Government Flight Representative (GFR). This

PWS, as an umbrella CAS contract, utilizes AFIs as the primary service guidance reference.
