1 DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES.

1.1 Introduction.

This is a non-personal services contract. The Government will neither supervise contractor employees nor control the method by which the contractor performs the required tasks. The contractor shall manage its employees and guard against any actions that are of the nature of personal services, or give the perception of personal services. The contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer (CO) immediately if they perceive any actions constitute personal services. These services shall not be used to perform any Inherently Governmental Functions.

1.2 Background.

The primary purpose is to complete development and operationalization of AFTAC’s Geophysical Instrumentation Testbeds (GIT); 4 seismic testbeds located at the Operating Location of Boulder, WY (OL-BW) and 4 testbeds (2 digitizer and 2 infrasound), located at the Air Force Technical Applications Center (AFTAC), Patrick Space Force Base, FL. Deliverables include development of pass/fail requirement documents for digitizer, infrasound, and seismic tests, completion of the operational report for the AFTAC testbeds, and completion of the operational report for the OL-BW testbeds. Also, training will be provided at each location, AFTAC and OL-BW, so that personnel from each location will be able to use their knowledge of the GIT system and provided documentation to continue with the GIT effort. When the GIT effort is complete, the geophysical testbeds at OL-BW and AFTAC will be used to evaluate and characterize geophysical equipment of interest.

1.3 Scope.

The contractor shall be responsible for developing a pass/fail requirements document which will provide a requirement for each digitizer, infrasound, and seismic test.

The contractor will have the ability to purchase the necessary materials to meet the performance objectives listed below. The contractor shall complete the operational report for the AFTAC testbeds and complete the operational report for the OL-BW testbeds. Finally, the contractor shall provide training for each location, AFTAC and OL-BW, so that the personnel from each location will be able to run tests themselves using their knowledge of the GIT system.

1.3.1 Contractor shall provide a pass/fail requirements document which covers each digitizer, infrasound, and seismic test.

1.3.2 Contractor shall provide an operational report for the AFTAC testbeds.
