Performance Work Statement (PWS) MQ-1/9 Production Acceptance and Developmental Test Services Vision Statement Provide Production Acceptance and Developmental Test aircrew and Unit Level support personnel to support ground and flight testing at AFLCMC/WII DET 3 OL. Unit Level support functions include Flight Manual Management, Squadron Aviation Resource Management System (SARMS) Operations Administration, Standards/Evaluation Management, and Aircrew Scheduling.

1 Introduction

AFLCMC/WII is comprised of the MQ-1 and MQ-9 aircraft, GCS, and support equipment that has been specially configured to meet mission requirements of Air Combat Command (ACC) and US Special Operations Command (USSOCOM). This Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) is employed around the globe and works in a range of environments from established bases to austere runways. The MQ-1/9 program develops cutting-edge equipment to meet the emerging requirements of ACC, USSOCOM, AFSOC, and various other government agencies.

1.1 Mission

AFLCMC Det 3 OL is located in the Mojave Desert in southern California at remote airfield devoted to Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) Production Acceptance and Developmental testing in support of AFLCMC/WII at Wright Patterson Air Force Base, OH. The Program Office provides engineering services, program management, logistics support, and test oversight for various UAS customers. The acquired services outlined in this PWS are necessary to ensure maximum program responsiveness and flexibility for missions requiring rapid upgrades to existing or new weapon systems for an array of operational needs.

1.2 Background

The Production Acceptance and Developmental Test Support Services are currently being performed under a Big Safari Sole Source services contract which is executing its last option year in CY15. This contract effort is a new requirement to replace that contract with Period of Performance (POP) of Dec 2015 through Nov 2016.

This new contract effort is to obtain the services of MQ-1/9 Pilots, Test Pilots, and Sensor Operators (aircrew) to get the best value test support for the United States Air Force. The contract period of performance (POP) will be for 1 year plus 3 option years. In addition to providing aircrew, the Contractor shall provide MQ-9 Flight Manual Program support, Squadron Aviation Resource Management (SARM) Operations Administration, Standards/Evaluation support, and Flight Scheduling support.

1.3 Scope

Program work under this PWS will require coordination and interaction with USAF project managers, prime contractors, subcontractors, and concerned United States Government agencies. All contracts relating to any project being supported under this PWS between contractor support personnel and other involved organizations will be approved in advance by the specific USAF or Government Program project management staff being supported.

2 General Requirements

The places of performance include: Primary: Mojave Desert Flight Test Facility, CA and China Lake NAS, CA. Alternate or off-site locations: General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Incorporated Division, Poway CA; Creech AFB, NV; Nellis AFB, NV; and Edwards AFB, CA. The period of performance shall be 12 months from date of award with three (3) additional 12-month option periods. Each period of performance award will include the baseline contract to support normal operations tempo and a surge operation to support an increased tempo.

Baseline contract: Requires enough aircrew and unit support personnel to execute, on average, three (3) four (4)-hour sorties (flights) and three (3) four (4)-hour ground test events per day, five (5) days per week given the AFI11-202 Volume 3 12-hour crew rest and duty day limitations. Temporary increases in operations tempo may be required due to programmatic deadlines; these temporary “surges” may last for several weeks. Baseline contract manning should be sufficient to support temporary increases in operations tempo; indefinite surges due to Joint Urgent Operational Needs (JUONs), Urgent Operational Needs (UONs), or Quick Reaction Capabilities (QRCs) test efforts will require additional manning as required in the Surge Operations Option Contract Line Item (CLIN).

Note: One “sortie” counter is defined as 3 to 4 hours scheduled and/or logged flight time duration. Additional flight time over 3 hours constitutes additional sorties as follows: 0-3 hours = 1 sortie (1 crew), 4-8 hours = 2 sorties (2 crews), each additional 4 hour increment over 8 hours equals an additional sortie requiring one more crew. This time does not include any preparation activities, pre-mission briefs, pre-launch/ground procedures, post flight ground checks, or debriefing. Example(s): Scheduled takeoff of 0700L and land of 1000L = 1 sortie. Scheduled takeoff of 0700L and land of 1200L = 2 sorties. A ground test can also be counted as a sortie under certain conditions i.e. if engine runs are required, or pilot and sensor operator specific checklists and tasks need to be accomplished as build up to a flight event.

All contractor pilots are required to be FAA Licensed Commercial Pilots with Instrument ratings in addition to being current and qualified on the MQ-1/9 Unmanned Aerial System. Developmental Test Pilots shall be graduates of a formal Test Pilot School.

2.1 Non-Personal Services

The Government shall neither supervise contractor employees nor control the method by which the contractor performs the required tasks. Under no circumstances shall the Government assign tasks to, or prepare work schedules for, individual contractor employees. It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to manage its employees and to guard against any actions that are of the nature of personal services, or give the perception of personal services. If the Contractor believes that any actions constitute, or are perceived to constitute personal services, it shall be the Contractor's responsibility to notify the Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) immediately.

2.2 Business Relations

The Contractor shall successfully integrate and coordinate all activity needed to execute the requirement. The Contractor shall manage the timeliness, completeness, and quality of problem identification. The Contractor shall provide corrective action plans, proposal submittals, timely identification of issues, and effective management of subcontractors. The Contractor shall seek to ensure customer satisfaction and professional and ethical behavior of all contractor personnel.

2.3 Contract Administration and Management

The following subsections specify requirements for contract, management, and personnel administration.

2.3.1 Contract Management

The Contractor shall provide necessary infrastructure to support contract tasks at offsite locations as mentioned above and necessary to support AFLCMC Det 3 OL. The Contractor shall provide administrative support to employees in a timely fashion (time keeping, leave processing, pay, emergency needs).

2.4 Subcontract Management

The Contractor shall be responsible for any subcontract management necessary to integrate work performed on this requirement and shall be responsible and accountable for subcontractor performance on this requirement. The prime Contractor will manage work distribution to ensure there are no Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI) considerations.
