SECTION I – DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

1.0 GENERAL

1.1 Scope:

This Performance Based Contract includes on-site, Afghanistan, activities required to maintain safe, reliable aircraft for use by United States (US) Air Advisors and the Afghan Air Force (AAF). Afghanistan is an austere location and contractors should not expect full CONUS-style accommodations. This contract 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 Aircrew Training Device (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 requirement for the contractor to train and qualify 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 Contractor Logistics Support (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, as identified in 1.2.3 of this PWS. This contract’s end state is to train the AAF such that they are self-sufficient in the operations and maintenance tasks included in this contract such that the USG is capable of transferring responsibility of the aircraft to the AAF.

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 decision will be based on the attainment of the appropriate mixed skill level cadre (Level 3,2,1) of trained Afghan maintainers. The USG, with TAAC-Air coordination, will determine the point at which this 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. The Base and all contract options should have 3 pricing tiers: two (2) aircraft transitioned, four (4) aircraft transitioned, and six (6) aircraft transitioned. It is intended that all assets specified above will be the responsibility of the AAF at the end of the CLS program.

1.2.2 Operational Schedule: The contractor shall meet two (2) aircraft utilization rate schedules. From May to October the contractor shall support a standard monthly utilization rate of 40 hours per each USG responsible aircraft and include a 25 percent surge allowance, per month, for contingency operations. From November to April the contractor shall support a standard monthly utilization rate of 20 hours per each USG responsible aircraft and include a 25 percent surge allowance, per month, for contingency operations. The contractor shall provide services during normal flying and maintenance operations, and on-call services.

1.2.2.1 Missions shall be conducted seven (7) days per week, 12 hours per day with a two-hour notice of launch on Friday. The USG, via the Contracting Officer Representative (COR), reserves the right to adjust the flight schedule at any time.

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, excluding any AAF-Responsible aircraft, aircraft undergoing Over and Above (O&A) repairs authorization process, or aircraft being designated for maintenance training. Total Reporting Time (TRT) is 720 hours multiplied by fleet size. Fleet size shall not include aircraft while an Over and Above (O&A) is Not Mission Capable Supply (NMCS) or that have been designated for maintenance training. Changes to the fleet size shall be handled on a prorated basis. No more than two (2) aircraft shall be designated for training without concurrence of the USG.

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 hours).

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 USG-responsible 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. Break Rate Calculated percentage = (# of Sorties that Land Code 3)/(Sorties Flown) × 100. Code 3 definition: An aircrew reported or post-flight maintenance discrepancy identified that grounds the aircraft (Non-Mission Capable).

3.2.6.6 The contractor shall work closely with flight operations to ensure current C-208B aircraft status and flying schedule deviation reporting is accomplished and provided to the PMO.

3.2.7.1.1 The contractor shall ensure the ATD is available at the beginning of each duty day in an FMC status.

3.2.7.1.2 The contractor shall perform all maintenance requirements on the ATD to ensure training operations are not adversely affected. The maximum amount of “down time” for repairs during the 12 hour duty day shall be 2 hours, excluding the required test of simulation conditions.

3.2.7.1.3 The contractor shall ensure the ATD reflects the actual configuration and operational procedures, of the airframe being represented, within 90 calendar days after an Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) or other major modification has been made to the aircraft.
