SECTION II

2.1 Requirements:

The instructions stated below define the requirements necessary to ensure products and services meet global operational requirements.

2.2 General Products and Services:

The contactor shall provide the Government access to a certified aeronautical database, associated Flight Information Publications (FLIP), an Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) application, with an associated technical service support. All products and services shall be accessible through DoD and commercial web access. The products and services will made available to other US Government military departments and US Government agencies upon request and subsequent funding. This contract is for internal US Government use and will not support Foreign Military Sales contracts.

All products and services that have been approved for use in flight operations may be duplicated and distributed to any user within the USAF and/or other U.S. Government military departments/agencies that have purchased the products and services through this contract without restriction for the duration of this contract.

2.2.1 Aeronautical Database:

The processing of the aeronautical navigation data will be Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Type I Letter of Acceptance (LOA) certified. FAA certification sustainment will be IAW FAA directives. Database will be Communication, Navigation, Surveillance/Air Traffic Management (CNS/ATM) compliant. Database management will be IAW Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics (RTCA) DO-200A/B, Standards for Processing Aeronautical Data. The aeronautical data library shall be available to authorized users 24 hours per day, 7 days a week, until the end of the period of performance. The Contractor shall be responsible for issuing user names and passwords to authorized users at the request of the Government and in accordance with USAF policy and processes.

Contractor will provide their commercially sourced aeronautical Navigation Data extracted into a navigation database compliant with the U.S.G.’s DAFIF 8.1 format. This electronic flight navigation data is an electronic database, based on information from Government (otherwise referred to as States) sources and other publicly available sources.

This data is designed for and restricted to use on aircraft Flight Management Systems (FMS) and that are currently formatted to receive aeronautical navigation data in U.S.G.’s DAFIF 8.1 tab-delimited format. This also includes aircraft flight simulators, maintenance test equipment, and mission planning systems.

2.2.1.1 General Output Description:

Database Field Definitions and Table Layout(s) must correspond to the current U.S.G.’s DAFIF 8.1 specification. This file is suitable to deliver to FMS OEMs and other CNS/ATM entities that “pack” the data on FMS for inflight aeronautical navigation use.

2.2.1.2 Data Updates:

Database updates will conform to the 28-day Aeronautical Information Regulation and Control (AIRAC) cycle as established by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). These updates will consist of additions, modifications, or deletions to the database, which are effective on that cycle.

File Number: Page 6

ICAO Annex 15 sets forth standards and recommended practices for States to follow for the dissemination of aeronautical data. Contractor will produce the database consistent with the information published by the States having governing authority over their respective airspace and aeronautical facilities. Contractor has no control over the accuracy, resolution or quality of the data supplied by the States. Contractor will receive information from the States in the form of an Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP) or other various source documents.

Data format or other changes must be coordinated with the U.S. Government and their Avionics OEMs prior to implementation and delivery.

Contractor shall make available a data alterations report upon request for any source data that fall outside the standard practices of coding published information.

(CDRL A004, DI-MISC-80508B, Technical Report – Study/Services)

Contractor shall issue database alerts using RSS Feed Technology for any changes to files issued by the contractor at no additional cost to the USAF. Alerts are not designed for individual pilot notification but are intended to supplement the database change notices by disseminating time critical information that could have a significant impact on flight operations. Significant changes affecting the navigation data will be published in database change notices, which will be distributed in a subscription service. Database alerts and change notices will be available over a website and should be subscribed to using RSS Feed Technology. The instructions for subscribing to alerts using RSS Feed Technology will be provided by the contractor.

2.2.1.3 Data Accuracy:

The accuracy of the database will be equal to the source data provided by Air Navigation Service Providers (States).

Contractor will perform consistency and logical checks on this source data prior to committing it to the database and at various points throughout the production process, in accordance with their normal, exceptional processes and quality checks. Every effort will be made to resolve any detected problems with the State to assure data quality.

Contractor will also maintain all data contained in their database to at least the same resolution as defined by the current user-defined specification for each individual element. Contractor will provide this data to the current user-defined resolution for each data element.

The U.S. Government’s current specification, and subsequent releases as periodically updated, will be provided to the contractor by the USAF’s Air Force Flight Standards Agency for the contractor’s use/reference to ensure the currency of the aeronautical navigation data solution.

2.2.2 Flight Information Publication Publications (FLIP):

Contractor shall provide digital access to all associated FLIP products to support authorized users supporting the operation of approximately 5450 aircraft. FLIP products are defined as Terminal Instrument Procedures (Instrument Approach Procedures [IAPs], Standard Instrument Departures Procedures [SIDs], Standard Terminal Arrival Charts [STARs], Airport Diagrams and visual approach procedures), airport diagrams, and textual information pages. Any products or information that have been approved for use in USAF flight operations may be duplicated and distributed to any USAF authorized user within the USAF without restriction for the duration of this contract.

This FLIP library shall include terminal aeronautical charts, diagrams and textual information, as well as access to

File Number: Page 7 new terminal charts as they are published.

The contractor shall provide the FLIP library via a unique, user‐specific password access to a web‐based service, and USAF‐authorized users shall revalidate account information on an annual basis, or upon request by USAF.

FLIP products shall be downloadable/savable via DoD and commercial network access. The FLIP library shall be available to authorized users 24 hours per day, 7 days a week, until the end of the period of performance. The Contractor shall provide all necessary technical staffing support to ensure that continuous access to this library is available to authorized users at all times throughout the duration of the contract. The Contractor shall be responsible for issuing user names and passwords to authorized users at the request of USAF and in accordance with USAF policy and processes.

Database shall be viewable via Java Chart Viewer or HTML Chart Viewer.

The Contractor shall continuously maintain and update the library via source inputs as reflected on the date of the procedure. As new foreign civil or military procedures are developed globally, they will be added to the library.

Duplication of the contractor‐furnished products and subsequent distribution may include but is not limited to paper, facsimile transactions, hard drives, CD, DVD, flash drives, network drives or servers.

Contractor shall allow authorities of the USAF to audit its records and contents of its commercial aeronautical data and products, upon written request, to ensure compliance with the use restrictions described in this document. The post‐audit report may be distributed within the USAF flight standards agencies on a need to know basis. The Contractor will be entitled to receive a copy of the post‐audit report.
