1.0 GENERAL

1.1 Scope:

This Performance Based Contract includes on-site activities required to maintain safe, reliable aircraft for use by United States (US) Air Advisors and the Afghan Air Force (AAF). It also identifies services and establishes activities required for logistics, maintenance, technical order library/management, supply chain management, and maintenance training to support daily operations of C-208B Light Lift aircraft and one C-208B ATD. Airworthiness of C-208B Light Lift aircraft shall be maintained by the contractor. These services and activities shall commence at contract award through the end of CY2021 or until the AAF can organically sustain aircraft operations, whichever comes first. This contract also includes the requirements to allow the contractor to participate and foster the training and qualification of the AAF to perform the contractor’s assigned functions. The contractor shall train the AAF, via fully documented skill-level training, and accompanying apprenticeship requirements in transitioning/standing-up logistics, supply chain management, technical order library and management, and maintenance capabilities to maintain airworthy aircraft and out-year sustainment capabilities.

1.2 Contract Objective:

Train, Advise, Assist Command-Air (TAAC-Air), in support of the AAF, requires this contract to provide CLS and maintenance training activities capable of supporting up to 26 Cessna C-208B aircraft, an option for CLS on one C-208B ATD at Hamid Karzai International Airport (HKIA), and an option for aircraft CLS at a secondary base.

The following assumptions should be used to evaluate the size of this effort.

Table 1. Afghan Trainer Program Systems

NOTE: Table reflects contract award fleet responsibility numbers. This will change during the execution of the contract as aircraft responsibility transitions to the AAF.

1.2.1 Responsibility of aircraft maintenance and related support activities will be gradually turned over to the AAF. This will be based on a specified schedule to correlate, in part, with the attainment of an appropriate cadre of trained Afghan maintainers; schedule to be provided and coordinated by TAAC-Air/J7 and Air Force Security Assistance Training Squadron (AFSAT). TAAC-Air will determine the point at which an appropriate cadre of Afghan maintainers has been established. Aircraft responsibility transition determinations will be based on the achieved AAF organic maintenance capabilities and will occur before the execution of each contract option.

3.2.6 Maintenance Performance Standard: The C-208B aircraft fleet will be maintained IAW two (2) separate standards as follows:

3.2.6.1 USG responsible aircraft will be maintained to an 80% Fully Mission Capable (FMC) rate.

3.2.6.1.1 FMC status is defined as the system is capable of performing its assigned mission. FMC rate is calculated on a monthly, fleet-wide basis. The fleet will be in FMC status for at least 80% of total reporting time, with the exception of any aircraft being designated for maintenance training. Total Reporting Time (TRT) is 720 hours multiplied by fleet size. Fleet size shall not include aircraft undergoing Over and Above (O&A) repairs or that have been designated for maintenance training. Changes to the fleet size shall be handled on a prorated basis.

3.2.6.1.2 FMC Rate Calculation Example: Assume a fleet of 4 total aircraft. All months have 30 days for calculation purposes. Reporting time is 30 days multiplied by 24 hours per day = 720 hours. TRT is 720 multiplied by fleet size of 4 aircraft = 2880 hours. In order to meet the 80% FMC standard, the actual hours that the fleet is in FMC status for the month would need to be 80% of TRT. (80% of 2880 = 2304)

3.2.6.2 AAF responsible aircraft, in maintenance action, by the CLS contractor will be performed IAW the following requirements.

3.2.6.2.1 Fix Rate: 12-Hour. This indicator shows how well the repair process is being managed. All repairs exceeding the standard time will be reviewed.

3.2.6.2.2 Fix Rate Calculated: (12-Hour) = (# of Code 3 Breaks Fixed Within 12 Hours After Landing)/(Total Code 3 Breaks) X100

3.2.6.3 With COR approval, USG responsible maintenance training aircraft will be designated as Non-Reporting Time (NRT) status. Requests for NRT by the contractor will be provided to the PCO for resolution via the COR.

3.2.6.4 The contractor shall track and report on Aircraft Availability (AA). A set percentage of the fleet is necessary and must be available on any given day in order to execute the flying program. This is expressed as: total time possessed minus the time-accounted to depot possessed; Not Mission Capable Maintenance (NMCM); Not Mission Capable Supply (NMCS); Not Mission Capable Both (NMCB); and Unit Possessed Not Reported (UPNR) status. The AA rate is the percentage of the AAF fleet’s Total Aircraft Inventory (TAI) that is available (mission capable (MC)) AAF Aircraft Availability Calculated percentage = (MC Hours)/ (TAI Hours) × 100. (CDRL A0XX, DI-MISC-XXXXX).

3.2.6.5 The contractor shall track and report on Break Rate. The Break Rate is the percentage of sorties that land in a Code 3 status.
