1.0 Description of Services

The Contractor shall provide qualified C-130H-1 aircrew to perform ferry flights to/from any designated repair station and to/from Kabul, Afghanistan (ICAO Code OAKB) or other designated South West Asia Area of Responsibility (AOR) location as determined by the United

States Government.

1.1 Objective(s): This Performance-based Work Statement (PWS) describes the services required to safely ferry an aircraft to/from Kabul, Afghanistan, or another designated South West

Asia AOR location as determined by the Government, and any authorized repair station for

Programmed Depot Maintenance (PDM), Isochronal Inspection (ISO) and discrepancy repairs.

These services include an aircraft ferry delivery service by qualified C-130H-1 aircrews to include any or all activities to and from pick-up and drop-off destinations.

1.2 Benefit to United States Air Force (USAF):

This acquisition will benefit the Government by providing support to Government of

Independent republic of Afghanistan (GIRoA), the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)

Train, Advise, Assist Command – Air (TAAC-Air) command, specifically the 438th Air

Expeditionary Wing (AEW) located at Hamid Karzi International Airport, Kabul Afghanistan directly supporting Operation RESOLUTE SUPPORT. Force structure changes has limited the number of USAF qualified C-130H aircrews in Afghanistan. As such, any use of deployed aircrews to support the movement of aircraft to/from Kabul and any authorized repair facility will have an immediate negative impact on the 438th AEW’s ability to meet Operation

RESOLUTE SUPPORT C-130H training objectives for the Afghanistan Air Force. Air Mobility

Command has completed their conversion from C-130H to C-130J aircraft and has no qualified aircrews to support this requirement. Additionally, the USAF Reserves and the US Air National

Guard are unable to support due to man-day/training day constraints. This requirement will allow the 438th AEW to continue to meet Operation RESOLUTE SUPPORT training requirements, while supporting the safe delivery of aircraft during the C-130 ISO inspection cycle.
